Yes! Me too! It has to be GR because the email has got my HUSBAND's first name in the title - I'm doing his tree so using MY email address and not his! And yes, same dating site too. What a cheek. Mandy *hurriedly looking through GR's T&Cs and policies to see if they mention selling our private email addresses* *****************UPDATE******************** Take a look at this from the 'Genes Reunited Privacy' section, down at the bottom by the T&Cs: Service Emails. The team at Genes Reunited hate spam and will never ever send you unsolicited emails. But there are some emails that we will need to send you to provide you with a good Genes Reunited service. These include notifications that you have a message from another member, reminders about your membership expiring and guides on how to use the site. A full list of the types of emails you will receive to help you use the service most effectively (which we call Service Emails) are shown below: Welcome email – this email provides all the information you need to get started on Genes Reunited. Payment receipt – this is sent if you upgrade to Full Membership Renewal notices – these remind you to renew your Full Membership Automatic Full Membership renewal alerts – if you have selected automatic renewal of your Full Membership, we will alert before this happens Key service messages – if we need to notify you about changes to the service New message notification and reminders – when you receive messages from other Standard and Full members. Service suspension notices – if you break the house rules As well as these Service Emails, you will also receive New Names and Hot Matches emails, and (if you have opted to receive them) our occasional newsletters. These emails genuinely help you make the most of the website and let you know when there’s new fun and interesting stuff to do.

Had one this morning from Margaret (.)exploringfeelings telling me its okay i am connected ?to what!!!!! Steve from Somerset

Mine is from a Shirley Thompson, but I dont have any thompson's in my tree.

out of curiosity,how many of you who had emails recognised the name as one in your tree

Thats kind of them isn't it? I'm 60 and in a wheelchair so I really am looking for a date? Anyway I look like Babs off Little Britain and hubby is like Harold off Neighbours. We are both such a catch. Some ones having a laugh. Lynda x

And when I queried GR's security the other day they said it was impossible for our accounts to be hacked! Can't check my emails cos my Outlook Express has thrown a wobbly!

I haven't received an email but I do keep having pop ups for a dating site each time I click on hot matches. Jackie

If you try going to the websites for those details given you will find they all go to the same one. It is a Dating Website!!!

just got back from tea time, but mine is 'not for all!!!' lori_miller(@yahoo(.)com www(.)Lisaexploringfeelings. yeah right, how we going to do that when we spend all our time on here?lol yvette

Lynda Thay could try hacking your email account or as a last resort reset your password if they really wanted wanted to but you often get an email telling you password was reset and to click a link it you didn't do it. Be crafty with your password - a combination of letters, numbers and symbles is the strongest - and don't be too ovious with sercutrity question e,g, using mother's maiden name or putting Home as your faviourate place. I have seperate email accounts for giving out to contacts as I don't want to fill up my main accounts.

I have one for my cousin in my yah00 spam box as she registered with that email addy, her username is only used on GR and nowhere else. I don't have one for myself in my h0tmail accout at the moment. Email for Cousin. Good day moonshine)) Irene Patterson <IrenePatterson93 'at' 'aol' For your kind attention www.Sandra.findnewsense*com

I have also had one in my bulk folder saying All is secure with Deborah exploring feelings. They must have hacked into GR and taken our personal details out. Very worrying.I have given my e mail address to some people who have requested it in connection with my family tree. Can they do any harm by just having that address.Have just e mailed GR so hopefully they will do something about it. Lynda x
