Welcome! This group is a safe-haven for all women on Eons. We're here to educate, network, and to help protect one another from the online scams inherent in today's online experience.

Join us for discussion, new perspectives, and the latest advice about women's online safety. Female membership only (thanks for understanding.)

Please check out the following for some helpful information. These articles were written by cdaara, the original manager of this group.

WOMEN, RELATIONSHIPS, AND THE INTERNET

Please keep in mind that it is against the Eons Terms of Use to post in the group forum any or all of a private message that you may have received. Any messages posted that have included content from a private message will be deleted. If you receive a private message and feel it is inappropriate you should report it to Eons by using the "Flag As Inappropriate" tool. However, if you wish to inform others in this group of receiving such a message, you may include a link to the person's profile page and explain why you felt their message was inappropriate. This will be for informational use only and/or as a warning to other members to be watchful.

Let's all work together to be as safe as possible online.

Just a reminder that if you receive spam on your profile, either as a comment or through a private message, or see it in a group setting, it should be reported in the Getting Around Eons group in this thread set aside for such things:

Or, you can still use the "flag as inappropriate" feature that will allow you to write to the Eons Help Team and they will investigate it.

Eons is sponsoring an Ugly Sweater Contest. If you would like to join in the fun, go to this group:
Ugly Sweater Contest
Instructions are listed on the group home page.
The votes will be counted next Wednesday with an announcement of the winner. Once they get the winner's mailing address, they will send out a prize - something like an Eons mug, mousepad, t-shirt, etc.

I've asked around and never got a response to this question.

Can someone please post the EXACT path to take to get to this Newsletter?

Thanks!

I get messages on MySpace from unknown men everyday. Most of them use poor grammar and are obviously not native English speakers, althought most claim to be. They always ask for my Yahoo address so we can "chat." How do they all know I have a yahoo address? The headline is usually something like, "Hello beautiful," or "Hi gorgeous" or some sort of faux flattery. I never answer but just delete them. It seems like it must be some kind of scam since they're all so much alike, but I just can't figure out what it could be. Anybody have a clue?

Yes, be sure to open your Eons Insider newsletter this week to read about who's hot on Eons this week. You'll see why!

Smiles!

I just read this in Christopher Null's blog...

If you have a Hotmail account, you should read this and change your password.

This goes along with the post about the compromised email passwords.

Here's a blog on how to do smart passwords.

Hello, just wondering if this group is still active and if there is a list of questionable people on Eons. I tried the questionable link and it doesn't work.
thanks, Starry

Where is everyone, please continue to share your experiences.
