I've heard this type of story before. How on earth do they do it? I'm finding it very worrying. Deanna X

erm i hope there not any i send you, lol xxx

So, hacking is a known problem on the site and the technical team (Does this mean Alex, or is there more than one?) is too busy to deal with it? It's not even as if this were a new problem. Members demonstrated that it was possible over a year ago, but GR deleted the discussion threads.

Hi After asking again as the same thing happened again got this standard reply Thanks for your email. This is a known error on the site. Our technical team are very busy at the moment, but will look into this as soon as possible. I am sorry for any inconvenience Thanks then!! Penny

sorry penny.i have emailed gr and they are investigating.sorr y againxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((:

It was just me - I saw you had been on another thread so just wanted to bring it to your attention & to see if you had got any further than me! Penny

who has nudged this thread up.i have emailed gr and they are investigating this matter so if anyone is doingbthis watch out!xxxx))):

Hi Lisa Have you heard anything? I reported it on the 10th, got a standard reply on 12th saying they were going to pass it on to the technical team & now have received an email asking how good the Support team were - or not!!! Have heard nothing from the technical team. How about you? Penny

Hi Lisa Did you report this to genes? If so did you get a response? The same thing has now happened to me & I have just sent them a message. Penny

I'm as baffled as the rest of you, but I would suggest deleting cookies and temporary internet files. If you have programes that remember your passwords, turn them off. Have you got up-to-date firewall and spyware software? No guarantees this will help with your problem, though.

This is very worrying. Will you let us know what happens please? Deanna X

funny thing was the email was only showing up in my email inbox not genes .this was dated the 4th september yesterday well i only come on the site last night.it was already opened.i will report it to genes like i said this is the second time this has happenedxxxxxxxxxx)):

Hi Lisa. It is possible that someone could have access to your GR account. I had to report to GR a couple of weeks ago, that I has suddenly got access to a new contact of mine. I did get a reply from them saying they were looking into it. But have not heard from them since. If I wanted to, I could be this person and post on the boards as someone else. I could read the emails they have received and sent. But I am not that kind of person. What I cannot understand is the fact that this member is not a (Full member) and was able to send messages to me and I could to him. In my email to GR I mentioned the Data Protection Act. Please get back in touch with GR. They really need to issue you with an new account. But be aware that you could loose all your contacts and messages. Jenny.

Eliza.... Sorry I should have added they reappear without having recent contact with them....no mails to or from them. Also...on occassions ive found that people have mailed me on gr but it hasnt shown up on new message or in inbox....I only discover I've had a new mail when I get the alert in outlook.....then I have to find it under the senders name in my gr contact list.....very strange!!

same thing happened to me i had an alert in my email to say i have new mail at gr (did not open the link) came onto the gr site and the message was already opened

I found if on your normal emails if you open a message from Genes re contact,when you go to Genes site the 1 new message sign is'nt there,so next time you get an email from Genes dont open it just go straight to Genes and it will say 1 new message Gwen

Sure this sort of thing was happening a while back, somebody on here did it on purpose to prove that it could be done.

Yes Jules... Very strange isn't it! I think we need to talk to genes! Maz x

Maz......now that is worrying..!!

Hi Lisa.... You're worring me now...lol Report it to gr anyway but I cant see how as you've changed your password recently & havent told anyone what it is....if it is someone 'hacking'...why target you..?? I'm sure its just one of those wierd things that happen on here....sometimes I notice old contacts re-appear on my contact list months after they were deleted.....cyberland is very technical but Im sure it has its 'blond moments' too.
