QUECHUP SCAM
Someone recently asked me to join Quechup, an online community last week and I obliged. I usually do. (that invite turned out to be spam, too)
Tonight this online outfit starts emailing everyone in my email address book. Everyone. And I certainly didn't authorize it.
So please accept my apologies for the hassling email if you happened to receive one. Or god/goddess forbid a hassling cellphone call. That's how I realized what was going on when I got an email on my cell phone from this community.
NOW I see that everyone else is having the same problem. Word to the wise: avoid it like the fucking plague. Bastards. Can you imagine some bullshit email intrusion ripping through your email addresses? All those employers, relatives, friends, corporations, newsletters, ISPs, hosts, etc. Damn.
I cannot delete and/or respond to these return emails fast enough.

Oh how I wish I'd read this post before I thought to myself, "Isn't that nice? Susan's inviting me into some cool thing."
They got me.

Hi Theo and Gordon. I am so sorry about this mess. But it is good to talk with you both tonight!
*hugs* No worries. A few months ago, I got taken by them too. It's embarrassing, but I hope now that more publicity is on them, they'll shut down.
Oh, you got it too, huh? Grrr.
