What happens is your requested to join all the time. What ever it is it dose not seem tobe an open forum. I am more annoyed they have my email and keep bugging me. I have considered it might be someone I know as yet don't know who. I just don't like unsolicited request.
And know I won't be posting what ever their stuff is

Its a VERY new age site & it does have a kind of forum, it also has a huge donate thing right on the front page
Surely there is an "unsubscribe" link some where on the emails ?

I keep on getting emails from a friend's email account which are short, cryptic and contain a "link".
When I got the first one about 8 months ago I foolishly clicked on the link. It took me to a VERY new-age site ( which seemed to be ok because this particular friend IS a very new age person, so I thought it was just her shoving some new-age junk in my face )
When a second one arrived in my email account I discussed it with 'said' friend. It turned out she had not sent any such email to me.
I asked her to run some anti-malware programs on here computer because it was starting to look to me like she had been hacked and hijacked, even to the extent that her computer had spat out her yahoo mail account password for the hijackers.
The scam appears to be that someone's email account get's hijacked and then it's used to send spam to people within that account's contact list.
As the scam was related to either real or bogus new-age sites and my friend was a new-ager type, it looks to me like she must have picked up the malware while being a visitor to some such new-ager site.
Even though I've asked her to scan her computer for nasty junk malware, I got another dodgy email from her account a week ago. At least I know to delete it as soon as I see it.
So, Ria, I suggest that you check your computer for malware first.
I suggest that you download and run the free version of Malwarebytes ( from malwarebytes dot org ). While installing it, don't choose the full version or even the DEMO of the full version.
A good second layers of scrubbing is to download and install Spybot Search & Destroy and do the same with that.
All that advice only applies if you are using a PC, of course.
EDIT to ad:
Of course, it's most likely that a message like that is coming from someone else's hijacked email account. So have a think if there is a clue who to contact to tip them off.

Thank you all for your advice. I will have to sort out the malware and relegate it to spam with all the penile enlargement adds, no I don't view them, but when clearing my spam box there seems to be trillions of them. We live in such a silly world.
