DON"T SIGN UP!!!!
I hit the wrong button and now everybody I know is getting spamed. *sigh*.
I am so sorry.
I am not a fan of social networking sites such as this. I got suckered. I have already gone into the site and canceled my account, but I fear it may be too little, too late.
Once again, I apologize for not paying attention.
Paula
It started pulling all the people from my address book. I got an unhappy note from my Uncle.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm thinking maybe I'll strike up some new conversations with some old friends!
ReplyDeleteI actually received 4 of these today, but yours was the first. I clicked on the button to "block Tagged.com"... I hope that wasn't a mistake! I got it from a couple of people I didn't even know -- why was I in their address books, anyway?
ReplyDeleteAt least it was Spam from someone I reconized, lol.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, we all make silly mistakes.
Since it went to my junk mail, I figured it wasn't really from you and didn't open it up. Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteI just cheerfully deleted it - figured you didn't mean to send it, and knew I wouldn't sign up. :)
ReplyDeleteI got it too, I clicked to see the image and before you know it, I was into the site and seeing my own email list! I back tracked fast as I could, but didn't see how to delete. Do you remember how you deleted the account...I should double check if I did it right. I wrote a post on it as fast as I could after a little of my usual research on the subject, of course ;) Dont' feel bad, Paula..I clicked and I'm the Queen of stopping Urban Legends and Spam Mail Warnings and I still clicked!
ReplyDeleteNever mind Paula, I had made the decision to delete before I saw this post so phew!
ReplyDeletekeep smiling!
Thanks for letting us know. I looked at tat email long and hard in preview mode (didn't even open it up) and deleted it. Something just didn't feel right. I was getting ready to write you a note explaining I was not antisocial, just careful!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula
ReplyDeleteI thought it might be a little sus, so I came to your blog. Thanks for posting about it. I will delete it before I even open it.
Don't worry Paula - I think it is reasonable to think that companies would be ethical and wouldn't take over your email list to send anything to your friends without your permission. I'm not sure how they figure that anyone will want to have anything to do with this site when the first thing they do is this horrendous.
ReplyDeleteNo big deal - we know this happens when we aren't looking! Sneaky gremlins.
ReplyDeletethanks for letting me know! I wasn't sure which Paula the email was talking about so I googled "paula the quilter" and your blog came up straight away! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to hit the wrng button sometimes!
I think it's all happened to us at least once!
no harm done! :)
I did the same thing! And I apoligized to my entire address book! What a crappy thing, I am reporting them to FTC. They have been fined numerous times!
ReplyDeleteWell, I clicked on the no thank you button but of course that was the same as saying YES! Such a weird thing - what is the object of them doing this?
ReplyDeleteNo problem Paula, It seemed like something I didn't want to happen and I almost wrote you an e-mail apologizing for not being friendly but then my husband knew about this spam and we quickly deleted it. Stuff happens.
