Got an invitation to a porno group in my yahoo e-mail box. The group name is MonaMadden45. How'd this happen?

Question

I checked my yahoo e-mail in box today and found that I had received an invitation to join this group, MonaMadden45. I can't figure out how I got this invitation. In looking into it futher I see that it's a porno site for live web cams. Does anybody have any ideas as to why I would have recieved this invitation?

Thanks

Answer 1

I get these too here and there. people get addys from being in groups, then they spam with invites to their groups.

this notice is on the invite box that the owner sees

"(Please use this feature responsibly and don't spam people you don't know. Invitation abuse can lead to inactivation of your account.)"

you do have the option of reporting it to abuse

This will put a stop to that real quick and will also prevent them from adding you to their groups!

Go to your "My Groups" page -here is the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups

Near the upper right side, click on "My Email Preferences".

To the far right of the email address used for groups, click "Edit".

Under "Group Invitations", click on the checkmarks to REMOVE them from the squares to the left of "Allow group moderators to directly add me to their groups" and "Allow group moderators to invite me to their groups".

Click "Save Changes".
