Vintage Synth Repair

I'd say so.  Seems that somebody's looking for personal information to me.  Personally, I'd just delete the message.

Does anyone know how to report this kind of spam to the group administrator?  (Hope they're monitoring).

Yes, me too. Is this in any way dodgy?

Hi, Roy!

I just did, but it was from "Ed".  I took a peek at the Grouply sign-up page, and when I got to the part where it had a check box that said, "Use your Yahoo ID as a Grouply ID", I deleted th' sucker.

Sounds suspiciously like a phishing expetition, as Christopher Robin might have said.

Your Suspicious Combo Pal,
Dave Garfield

We share the vintagesynthrepair group. I want to add you as a friend in
Grouply so you can see my profile with my pictures, my groups, and my
favorite group messages.

Here is the link:

(Snip)
Grouply, 495 Seaport Court, Suite 103, Redwood City, CA 94063. This
message was sent to you by a fellow group member who uses Grouply
instead of email to access your shared group.

If one of these were to show up in _my_ group the member who was idiotic 
enough to hand their yahoo password over to this outfit to spam folks with 
would be immediately banned, for starters...
