I am sure that you have heard about this already, but I want to reiterate, do not be fooled by an email invite from anyone about this offensive site that hijacks your email address book. I drank the Quechup and for my efforts, every one of my email contacts received an email invite from me. This means EVERYONE. Weight Watchers, Google and Dell all got invites for me. I’m sure they’re pleased with that. Of course those were no-reply addresses. My kids’ teachers and coaches all got them. So did my family members. Oh well, they all think I am crazy anyway. No harm, no foul. Anyway, if you got an “invite from Shelli”, delete it. I’m sorry if you clicked on it and signed up and now they have hijacked your email address book.
If you want to read more about it, here are two good blog entries about it:



I’m glad that I’ve been out of pocket today because I’d probably would have “drank the koolaid” too. Thanks for the info.
By the way, I saw this advice somewhere:
Instead of deleting the email, Mark it as spam, which means eventually Gmail will direct these invites automatically to the spam folder.
Shelli – You weren’t the first person to send me an invite, so I knew what to do with it.
i dunno. Without the panties, I just cannot bring myself to believe you are really Shelli…..
Glad I read the explanation before the invite. I won’t join any new community this year, it’s getting weird…=:)
Thanks for the shout-out, Shelli!
Like I told you, I fell for it, too, but for some reason, it seems they weren’t able to highjack my email. Maybe they didn’t think I was cool enough to bother with, lol.
Hey, it happens to most of us at one time or another!
Thanks so much for the linky love to my post on DC Metro Moms! Like you, everyone in my address book got an invite. Quechup sucks. I’m putting an addendum on my post and adding the CEO and VP’s email addy’s and demanding they send out an apology to my list. Why should I have to clean up their mess?????
I am hating on them. Bigtime!
That really sucks. I am getting to the point where I am not signing up for stuff anyway. I have too much out there that I don’t use. LOL
Hey Hon! Deleted it. Shit happens. No problem! Muah
I’m sure their pleased with that.
Should be they’re. Go back to third grade, Mom.
Dude, don’t worry about it. Shit happens. I delete them anyway. Oops. I probably shouldn’t said that outloud huh?
I can’t believe they were able to get ahold of your address book. I guess that’s how all of those worms get around the ‘nets.
