These people are so conceited they made themselves into a Yahoo group

I have seen those groups before. Usually a social group or a girl trying to get into modeling, and I never join them. However, since you put their name in and the group does not come up...it would be some kind of hacker scam that when you open the mail it has a virus in it or some how gets your personal information.

This has not happened to me, suspenseful but if it did, I probably would trash the emails that it came from just to be safe. I don't join invites from people I don't really know. Sometimes, I don't even join invites from people I know. I just try to join those that are from my closest friends and family. It took me a while to join myLot because I wasn't sure if I wanted myself out here. But here I am and I'm glad I did though. Hope you no longer get these pesky invitations.

I think your missing the Boat folks...Names of Groups can be changed, and I dont think they are conceited.. and SO WHAT if they name a group after themselves. Try following the link, and if there is none provided then you know it is probably spam. If no link is provided... I dont bother. Some people are lonely and want to start a group - get to know each other and then they change the name whe the "GROUP" decides what it should be. I dont see anything different about joining a "first and last name" or something that said "xbox fans" People have the need to communicate and maybe just once quit thinking of how inconvenient it maybe for you and check it out and say HI. What made you join this site MYLOT? it is not a Yahoo Group, but if someone went and created a group and it said MYLOT users and help...wouldn't you possibly join? So I am not trying to knock you down...I just want you to think that it not for conceit at all other then they simply could not think of a name for the group. I want to create a Blog, website and group- but I am having a very hard time thinking of names..Every day on yahoo answers people are asking for help with a username and a group name. Do you have any groups? I'd join! :) at least give you the benefit of the doubt! take care

I've never had this happen to me. I'm not sure why anyone would want to start a yahoo group or any other group about themselves, lol. I don't much care for yahoo groups in general though. I belong to three different ones and two of the three have little to no legitment posts on their board, they just have a bunch of spam posted that has nothing to do with what the group is supposed to be about instead. When you receive and invitation to join a yahoo group that someone made about themselves, why not send them back an invitation to join the 'suspenseful' group?

Maybe they didn't know what to call it. They may like a game like Mario Bros. and be embarrassed to be part of a Mario Bros. group so they name it after the person who started the group! You never know, really, why people name their groups what they do.

I would be very careful of those. Yahoo seems to be very popular among phishing schemes lately. Checking the "groups" out with Yahoo first is a very good move on your part.

Yes, I have gotten alot of them lately and have blocked them. If by chance you accidently join one. You will get spam from high heaven. Spam of all sort sfrom stupid spam to audult theme spam. Avoid them at all costs.

Nope I fet envited to people I know like people I have here on mylot

I was invited to a group last week, but I had never heard of the person so I declined.

So far i have not had this happen to me but if i do,i will not join any of those groups either..I have found that you have to be very carful about these type things.Thats a good way to pick up a virus ,plus you never know who is on these groups..So i would have to decline as well..

It is easy to form a group nowadays. But the aim, the concern, and direction of the group do matters. I,too receives a lot of invitations to join. BUt I refuse simply because I want to belong to a group with a good cause. Not just a fans club. A sports club. Or a group for no reason at all.

Like the first person said, I could believe it. I haven't gotten any of these invitations, not to my knowledge anyway. I know I have gotten invite's before but haven't paid so much attention to the name of the group or anything like that. I wouldn't call it conceited, well unless the pr0n is of themself. I'm the type to delete and not worry about it.

i haven't gotten any invitation...but if it happened i would do the same, searched on the engine, and if it doesn't exist i would just delete it...but anyway thanks for sharing it, i would just delete it if i receive one from those you mentioned... Have a Prosperous New Year! God bless! Happy mylotting!

There are all kinds of groups out there.I wouldn't go as far as to say this person was conceited either without knowing anything about him/her or the froup itself.I would just delete the invitations if you have no interest in them.I personally haven't had any of those types of invitations.Just ignore them.

yeah it happened to me too but i just ignore it not even reading it.

i havent had an invite from one of these but i do know if i didnt know them i wouldnt respond to it at all
