Ive paid $14 a year for several years, and spent countless hours of time composing the Greetings, and sending to distant dear friends, along with heartfelt messages. But Im now told by a distant friend, finally, that the Greetings, when received, cannot be opened (they tried clicking on several things), and are nothing but solicitations for the receiver  to join the Greetings membership. This is EXCEPTIONALLY disappointing to me. I cant imagine I have wasted all this time and money only to lose it all and create hardfeelings. Ive always been given the impression that all the Greetings were rcvd, and even got an email notifying me when the Greeting was picked up, and copies Ive rcvd had an obvious link that directed me imediately to the Greeting and message. Any ideas as to what I should do now, other than apologize to all the people Ive wasted my time on for several years? To be fair, I should say that the person who reported this to me receives their email thru Web-TV, could that.....

I'm in exactly the same spot as you are.  I just got through paring down my list, and I removed the "weak-ties" and those I seldom see.  I keep in touch with some by e-mail, and others will probably just fade away.  It had to be done, however.  You could still send a greeting card or note to them after the first of the year if you're really feeling guilty (or if you happen to get a card from them : (

You need to contact member service and ask them that, im sure they will help you and they reply within a few days. I havent had any trouble with yahoo ( YET ) but id make contact with them and ask whats up with that. Also check all your e-mail settings in your account and on your computer, somtimes its just a matter of resetting it all.

I don't know either, but I sent an e-mail to membersupport@mongle.com and the e-mail was returned to me.  What a jip, I had been with them for years and finally saved enough equity points with them to start looking for a house!  I think they went out of business, but how horrible as they didn't even let their members know.  I hadn't checked my account in a while and went to check it today and the website was gone.

this is a part of a real conversation, they are talking about mails that end with "Send these message to 15 people and you will have all your dreams come true" , or "Don't forward it and you'll have bad luck" .. etc.\n\nEd says (10:17 AM):\nsome people actually benefit from this \ni was one of them \n \nEd says (10:18 AM):\ni was working with a friend trying to market something , we wanted to launch email campaign, so to gather as many valid emails as we could we sent one of those letters saying all your wishes will come true if you send this to as many people as you can including the sender \n \nso imagine how many emails we got in a week \n \nEd says (10:21 AM):\nand people then wonder how they get spam \n \nand the best thing is that this can get you customized lists \n \nexample if you want Christians masalan , send something religious, you will get list of Christians emails,\n\nEd says (10:22 AM):\nif you want girls send something about girls, cosmetics,...\nif you want football fans,...\n \nvery effective people pay 1000s to get such lists \nand i got it for free and all valid emails \n\ni think that may answer your question, these mails have no relation with bad or good luck, it's a matter of business

I had the same problem not too long ago.  I signed the the card\n"with love, bob".  It doesn't say I love you, but it is better than sincerely.  Good luck!

It's hilarious -- you should open it.  It's not a virus, it's something that careerbuilder.com sponsors/runs.  it's a monkey in an email that will talk to you.

I don't know about you, but I get really excited whenever I get something other than a bill or junk in my mail. Even if you are really close friends with someone, I think it's always nice to send a thank you card in the mail. I think that sending things like thank you's via email is still uncharted waters and may not be appreciated by some people. They went through the effort of inviting you to the meal and cooking, etc. so the least you could do is spend the extra couple minutes writing out a card. I just think that email is much too informal in impersonal.

I got a postcard in the mail, and was propositioned for the same fee to complete the applications.  I told the operator I would think about it and call back - then I hung up the phone and did a search to see what this company was about.  They have no web page, but there are a bunch of comments from people who have gotten ripped off from this company.  I called the company right back and told them to remove my name form their database and to not contact me ever again.  Fortunately I had not given them my bank account information.\n\nYou can do the search by typing the company's name into the URL address bar and pressing enter on your keyboard.  Read the comments and decide for yourself.\n\nI did find a page on the BBB http://www.newyork.bbb.org/reports/businessreports.aspx?pid=44&page=1&id=86754\nThat shows this company is not a member wiht the BBB - you can check it out too.\n\nAll in all - my research indicates that this is not a company wirht doing business with.

Whoa! It's a nice mail regarding lottery wins. You must have already seen those attractions. Kool!! I know what they do. First, they are gonna ask whether you are interested or not. I remember..... they wouldn't pay much interest to you. This way or that, the would require your registration. And a......... it's like this: -\n\n"We greatly invite you to our community, sir. Our correspondence office in your city is going to contact you for the details of ########## sum for money transfer. Prior to this short process we need your registration and again a short sum of 5000 Rupees (~$120) to continue with your coinfirmation to our central office. We hope your response for the same."\n\nAnd who cares for 5000 if there's 500000000. Then you reply and send the money, for you see those registered sites and technical e-mails. And then there is nothing left for you to be done. You see it was all clear and so wonderful, you get up like a model millionare and end like a millionare model. Finally, you get a heartattack and next day you find yourself in a hospital. Loosing 5000 was a good experience for you and you again found an email saying " YOU WON ####################################### SUM IN A LOTTERY"\n\nor else switch on your spam blocker kit........

1k is very small, almost to small for even a simple email.  \n\nAnyways, tough to answer because one key fact may have been omited.  Was there an attachment?  If there was you can compress files with a program like WinZip or WinRar.  If there was no attachment you can only remove writen contents to make it smaller.\n\nIf there was no attachment, and you didn't make a typo with the 1k thing, then maybe the person you are trying to send the mail to has a full email box, or the server the person's email box is on is not setup correctly.\n\nHope I could be helpful.

IGNORE SWEETY\n\nThis is a comment from a website he has linked to -\n\nThis work at home "opportunity" is an utter crock. Naturally the person spamming it doesn't give the details.\n\nYes, you get paid to post. How much? About 1/3rd of a penny per post. That's correct, post 300 messages and you might get as much as a dollar if they are "quality" messages.\n\nYou do the math.\n\nSo why is this goofball recommending it? Because he gets 20% of whatever you make. You slave away for 100 hours to make $10 and he gets $2. He he can talk 1000 people into wasting 100 hours of their life for $10/ea then he makes $2000. How does he con 1000 people into signing up? He spams 100's of messages a day on message boards.\n\nIt's a scam, complete and total scam. There is no actual payment schedule, they tell you they aren't under any obligation to pay you anything and most people never make more than $10 after wasting literally 100 hours or more.\n\nYou would have to be a curry eating lower caste street urchin from Calcutta to consider this to be a business opportunity.

If this request went to everyone in the company, that's one thing, and it'd be harder to get out of it. But since it went to a few, take the emailer aside and privately explain that as much as you'd love to contribute, you just can't right now for financial reasons, and you just don't have a spare penny right now. Unless they're a greedy hard*ss, they've gotta understand. Offer to help another way - take the card around to be signed or something.\n\nGood luck!

i was on a soldiers angels web group. for them, i would get a priority flat rate box, and fill it to the brim with everything!! even the little gaps i would put little candies in. they love things like what the person above mentioned. but also they love cleaning items...such as shavers, toothpaste, and playing cards, puzzle books, stationary, anything & everything! it's thoughtful of you asking this. to be honest, with the fact that they really have nothing, than anything from home is a blessing to them.\nand remember the one's who do not ever get mail. it's sad. they have no family, and they are alone...while others get mail, they get nothing. if you're interested, you can send to one of these unfortunate ones by posting the address, then mention for the name "a lonely soldier". then the sergeant guy (or whoever, not clear on it) gives it to someone who is in need & never gets mail. i have my kids send pictures they drew & stuff. it's all the little stuff that counts.

Hi LUMANI - Well , this is the 3rd time you asked me to email you - BUT - every time your logo reads - " This user does not permit E-mail".  \n\nso tell me - if you're sincere - then why don't you send me your direct E-mail address privately & I'll respect your privacy like I respect my own.  I am moral & honest guy.  But I cannot email you unless you email me with you return email address.  \n\nDoesn't that make sense, LUMANI ????   I would think so.  \n\nRemember that right now Yahoo tells me that your E-mail is blocked from replies.  I have tried 3 times and it's up to you if you're honest & sincere guy.  I will never give anyone your email address - NEVER - never.  So you need not worry.  I wanted to speak to you often & talk things over - but HOW ????\n\nYou know what to do now.\nYour Faraway friend,\n\nBLACKBIRD

It's a lot of crap. I can tell at a glance. This is just the internet equivelant of the old "stuff envelopes at home and make BIG bucks!\n" You are right to be suspicious of it , esp. considering the very BIG "pay here" part. Avoid this kind of trap like the plague.
