Reunion.Com Informative - Be Careful

Review by Nohandle on 2009-02-08
I received an invitation today to click on an email where it stated I had been added as a friend to Reunion. Com and to confirm if I knew this person yes or no so they could connect us. Well, I emailed the individual and inquired it she had provided my address to this company. To say she had a small seizure is an understatement. She has responded to everyone she has ever known from birth up until now and having a hissy fit in the meantime.

It seems she received an email from a trusted friend and began to fill out a profile. Once she got far enough along decided she wanted no part of the website and deleted her profile. Too bad, so sad. Somehow or another all on her email list have been sent an invitation to join.

Please members, be careful of what you sign up for or agree to. The friend maintains she never gave an address to anyone. This website obviously sees things differently and sends an invitation to anyone and everyone to join.

Has this sort of thing ever happened to anyone else?

Not too often but I have seen a few of them in the spam folder from time to time.

I didn't open the invitation but would be sore as could be if someone emailed me and asked if I had forwarded their email address on to this company. Something is a bit amiss here. I don't think she took the time to provide everyone's email address to this company. The incoming email had her address on it so my spam filter didn't pick up on it. At any rate members, do watch out for this sort of thing in your inbox.

Thanks Jkt, but I never opened the email. This was just to alert others in case they received something from this company. Times must be worse than I thought for some company to take it upon themself to pass on unsolicated information to someone's email address.

I understand, but you need to do it anyway, takes a little time and be sure.

They are always trying to get me to join by saying someone either looked a my profile, or is looking for me. You always have to pay to see who it is. Not going to happen.
