I have heard about people like that then they start things in the group and

cause problems and then you have to leave the groups on aol they call them

trolls but i just learned of them recently cause they are doing it on aol

also i think this is horrible and we should try to figure out how we can

stop them . we must all stick together ....Jeannette

I got the same email and replied to him with a nasty note.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as

you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Dear Deanna,

With your permission, I'd like to take a minute of your

time to tell you about a natural product that has

helped literally thousands of diabetics normalize their

blood sugar and start living normal lives. If you plan

to ever live a normal life, free of diabetes, it's up

to you and only you to open your mind, stop listening

to the naysayers that refuse to try anything unless

it's prescribed by a doctor and most importantly, don't

allow other people to make up your mind for you.

Afterall,

I looked last night but could not find this person's name. It was getting

late so I needed to go to bed. I'm going to do some more checking today.

Caution. When you receive spam, it is my understanding that we should not

reply to it. Replying to it adds our email address to other spammer's list.

When I receive this type of email and I receive several every day, I forward

them to AOL to report scam and to block the address.

Anyone can go to Yahoo and search the topic " diabetes " and choose this group

and/or the many others and see the members list. It is a Yahoo ability. The

spam is from someone researching through Yahoo.

I can't find him as a member, if anyone has the original email with his

email address please send it to us. I didn't get the email myself. My

suggestion is to put this person on your blocked list if you can, you may

not get another note from him. We do try to keep spammers from sending

anything to the list selling products. If they do, they are warned that it

isn't allowed. Most of the time that stops them, they either didn't realize

it and don't send anything else or they quit. If they send anything else

they are removed.

Deanna, I got the same thing.

Someone from a company got on the list and possibly got all our names or

purchased our names from Yahoo. I just took a quick glance and pushed it aside

Actually you can. This is how spam mail gets past all the road block and you

really do not know where it came from. There is a way to change the senders

name and email address, but place a company address for contacts. I usually get

50 - 100 spam emails at work a day. I have set up an automated delete looking

for the words, unsubscribe, not want, ect. I have found that after awhile, they

will even change the statement to unsubscribe to, if you opt to stop receiving.

It's pretty much insane.

The best thing to do is delete it and move on, if he gets no bites then he is

just wasting his time and money

It's possible to make the member list viewable only by members or moderators.

Otherwise, anyone can see the member lists.

Also, anyone can have more than one email address. They can join the list with

one address and use the other address to send the spam.

Or, someone could be sending the info (or selling it even) to someone else.

Another possibility is to report it to the FTC using UCE@... (which is

Unsolicited Commercial Email @ Federal Trade Commission dot GOVernment).

If you have a yahoo ID that shows you are a Washington State Resident and they

use the list to send Email they may be breaking Washington state law by sending

Unsoliceted Commercial Email (SPAM) to a KNOWN Washington resident. Check other

states for laws, I believe California recently enacted a similar law.

I've blocked him on my email now - he sent me an email taking me to task about

pointing out that there is no University of Vancouver.
