No Spam on MyEC

Spammers don't stand a chance on MyEC

Did you know that some of our MyEC members report spammers almost every day? Their hard work keeps your club clean! Our members are all over the world. They work as a team to keep our club clean 24/7.

You can help out by joining this club. Report any member that is spamming the club. Spammers use walls and inboxes to spread their useless stuff. They often include links and email addresses. Don't get fooled by a spammer.

What is spam?

Spam is like online junk mail. You didn't ask for it and you have no need for it! It is unrelated to this club. The person who sends or posts it has not joined our club for the purposes of learning or teaching English in a community. It often contains a link or an email address. Don't click on the link and don't respond by email.

How can I prevent spam?

Report the member by including the URL of the member's page

Top SpamBusters can spot spammers very easily. They often place a warning on the spammer's wall. This helps prevent victims (often new members) from falling for scams.

Beware of the ASSA

MyEC has a built-in Anti-Spam System Alert. This is a feature that we can't turn on or off. If you leave identical comments on people's walls or on group walls over and over in a very short period of time, you could get locked out. Take time to read or watch something before you "like" it.

Here are a few of MyEC's Top SpamBusters:

Comment by Gabriel Sowrian on Saturday: I was told by a fellow club member that this person, favour, was posting her spam in the chat room a few hours ago. In fact, I have already reported about her yesterday. Please refer my previous report.

Now I see that the spammers (it could be the same person) are using different approach to take our club members in. Here's one such 'hustler'.

Wow! This creature, Stella Kwale, is very smart! It has deleted all the 104 spam posted by it on our said members' walls when it realized that I've reported about its lies and deception here.

Note: She has set her profile to 'Private'. However, I stumbled upon on her spam (pic). I found out that she has posted her 'Love Note' on the walls of 104 new members that were accepted to EC just yesterday along with her.

Here are a few members who received such spam:

I followed one of the links that he gave and was greeted by a travel agent that advertises their hotel dealings all over the world. Here's a screenshot of part of the site.
