My english club is a wonderful get away from it all.We do not rush to the classroom but to a social and enjoyable atmosphere
Naturally a site big as ours, with an enormous number of membership coming in daily , is prone to the eyes of vices.
People who are not interested in the language learning , try to wriggle their way in to the club and contact innocent members.
Beware . When we members inform the admistration they try their best to keep it inorder by deletion .
Thanks to the-members and staff these elements are detected and thrown out , yet they never give up and persist using differnt new addresses,
To help the admistration in keeping MyEC the social and educational link, members beware of
Typical spammers and scammers:
- leave notes on walls, groups and inboxes with links to external sites that are unrelated to English learning
- leave many identical notes in a short period of time
- often include and/or request an email address
- invite members to contact them off site
- make generous offers such as a chance to work in an English-speaking country
Their usual objective is to make money from unsuspecting members. Please watch out for these scams and report them immediately to the Administration!
For example I am posting one spam note from an individual/s continously in period of time.
no matter how many times they are deleted by the administration , through members observation, they bounce back !

How to report the member? You can report a member :
first --->Go to the member's page,
second --->Click on the Report a Member link.
This is the right way to get the correct address for the reported member ...

@Nadira and Dreamer Girl
thanks for your quick response, Nadira. I found exactly just like what Dreamer gave as an example on our friend's page. But, I was not sure if it was really spam. And there was one friend already trapped by this "new member"
Thanks for your help Dreamer...now I'm sure...
yes you can give this link when welcoming new members. I do . End of the blog you will see examples Ranu.
if there is suspicion , do send the link for checking
Nadira,
Can you give us more spam examples? Since I think I saw someone spammed one of my friends, but I'm not sure if it was really spam. If we know more examples and pattern of these spams, we can protect our new members. At least tell them about these spams.
Thanks for sharing this
Thanks Nadoooo :P
Really nice information
