It is a legit program, but make sure you read all the fine print before you install it.

Someone sent me an invite claiming they were from a Yahoo group. I could not create a grouply account without entering my Yahoo password. This clearly makes grouply a phishing site in my opinion. I stay away from things like that like the plague. Clearly, they are running some type of scam.

Excuse me, but Grouply askied me for my Yahoo! password. Completely inexcusable!

The person who had invited me had not "consciously" sent me the invitation email. Therefore, Grouply is "spamming" via their members. Asking you for your Yahoo password is Phishing behavior: A scam.

Thank you!

Grouply is a Spam creating site. When you join, ( without you knowing it or having to give your permission ) your email is used to send out spam. I kept getting all this spam from grouply in peoples names. I replied to one of the people who claimed that they didn't know it was being done!
