Well Janet, I just looked in my Spam Folder - I use Thunderbird through G-mail - I have also received an invitation from Nomoerack via Suzanne's name. Sorry Suzanne that some creep has invaded your privacy. When I see things like this in an email I have made it a policy to never never click on any link. The link informing you that you can opt out by clicking on it is scary on it's own. Good luck Janet - I certainly hope you can conquer this mess. Yvonne

Yvonne, if you still have the email in thunderbird, please click on View>Message Source, copy and paste the source into an email, and send it to me. ( not to the list ) I will be able to tell from the mail headers where it came from. I have been trying to find out what nomorerack's game is. What I know so far... Nomorerack can take control of your email account. I created a mail account at Yahoo and allowed nomorerack to access it. Nomorerack can change my profile, use or change contact lists etc. I am not sure if it can send emails directly from the mail account, but I suspect it can. The contact list in the account that I let nomorerack take over has only my own pretend contacts in it. So I will know when they try to use it. Only Hotmail,Gmail, Yahoo and Aol accounts seem to be vunerable. They also seems to have something going on with facebook contacts. I don't use facebook, so I don't know about that. Anyone with one of the above accounts should go into their setting and check that there is no third party access allowed. In Yahoo:- Settings > Accounts > Edit Your Account Info >Manage App and Website Connections. In Gmail:- Settings > Accounts > Grant access to your account. I am 99% sure that nomorerack cannot take over private mail accounts. I tested with a mail account at webmayo.com and nomorerack choked on it.

I registered at nomorerack a few weeks ago because a friend told me she does actually buy some things through them. With moving, I was looking for a new bedding set for the queen mattress that will be the guest bedroom and a few other things. I use Gmail and that is the email address with which I registered. During the process, there were some things automatically checked (like notifying your contacts through access of the address book in your email mail) that I unchecked. I am not saying that this is what happened to everyone but at least in my case, permission for them to access my address book was presented as optional. To my knowledge, no one received any messages from nomorerack that were driven by my registration. I haven't bought a thing from them because I mentioned I was looking there to another friend and she told me she did order a couple of things from them and the items did not appear to be like pictured and were poor quality. ===== Kathleen Bowen Simons Lorton, Virginia On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 2:57 AM, Les Hardy <les@webmayo.com> wrote: > Yvonne, if you still have the email in thunderbird, please click on > View>Message Source, copy and paste the source into an email, and send it > to me.

Yvoone, I didn't receive an invitation from Nomorack, just read the email from Nomorerack supposedly from Suzanne that some creep or Nomorerack used her email to send to everyone. I did not click on the address in the email if this is the address you are referring to. I will find another way. Thanks for your help.
