Jennifer Proxenos Poet Limerick

Is Soupmail Still Private

IS  SOUPMAIL STILL  PRIVATE 

How do non - members get into soup,
Somewhere in the system there’s a loop,
And ask you to contact them please,
It makes one to not feel at ease,
This person does not exist on Poetry Soup!

Since I commenced with this friendly troop,
Had two or three mails, outside of our group,
I just ignore them, but it happens, how?
Do others get them, good to know now,
For I am sure none of us want a snoop.

Harry Horsman May 26, 2019 at 5:18 PM Yes many will recognise the problem Jennifer, i know i do...Just love the way you bring the problem to one's attention,,so clever,,,, Jennifer Proxenos May 27, 2019 at 1:26 PM Thank you for an awesome comment - it seems others have had similar problems, but the consensus, which I agree with, is to ignore them , just a mystery how the get in and how must of us have been approached. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.

Gordon Mcconnell May 15, 2019 at 12:20 PM Fine piece Jennifer and a real problem but as others said better to delete them. I 've had a couple in recent months that had no poems on their page which made me think it odd. Congrats on POTD, Blessings to you, Gordon Jennifer Proxenos May 15, 2019 at 12:51 PM Thank you Gordon - it's a mystery how they get in - I did, but it's interesting to know that others have experienced the same problem. Scams everywhere! Thanks for your congrats., Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Kim Rodrigues May 10, 2019 at 8:01 PM For sure! I block those strange ones! Congrats on POTD! Jennifer Proxenos May 14, 2019 at 12:28 PM Hey Kim, Sorry I missed your comment and welcome congrats. Hugs, Jennifer

Jack Horne May 9, 2019 at 1:39 PM yes, i think we've all had those strange messages - no idea how they get through the net. always lovely to hear from you x Jennifer Proxenos May 9, 2019 at 1:54 PM Thanks Jack, missed your comments - great to hear from you also - it is surely a mystery, hence my poem. Hugs, Jennifer.

Besma Riabi Dziri May 7, 2019 at 10:09 AM I can't miss this beauty, dearest Jennifer! Congratulations on your POTD! You deserve the honour and recognition of your fellow poets and friends as you unfold your worries in a refined poetry, substance and form!

Love and hugs. Jennifer Proxenos May 7, 2019 at 12:59 PM Hi Besma, my dear friend many thanks for your kind and delightful comment, they are always so complimentary and kind, and are so appreciated Your loving nature is evident not only in your awesome poems, but in your thoughtful comments. Bless you always, Hugs, Jennifer.

Connie Marcum Wong May 6, 2019 at 5:11 PM I have had four unwanted emails from the same person who has no poetry here at Poetry Soup. I tried to block them to no avail. Three of my friends heard from this same woman and one reported it to PS Team. Congratulations on putting light on a subject that needs attention and your POTD honors Jennifer! : ) xxoo Jennifer Proxenos May 7, 2019 at 12:39 PM Hi Connie, thank you for your congrats and a wonderful comment about a problem that is obviously rife amongst us soupers. Such an infringement of privacy which leaves us with a feeling uneasiness! Hugs, Jennifer.

Anne-Lise Andresen May 6, 2019 at 4:03 AM - I don't trust soupmail ... this has happened to me many times, my friend :) - Congratulations on p.o.t.d. :) - Best wishes for a lovely new week :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Jennifer Proxenos May 6, 2019 at 2:57 PM From the comments below dear soul sister, it seems like many fellow soupers have been approached surreptitiously on soupmail - it is a concern, but let's hope this will all come to pass. Hugs, Jenny.

Constance La France May 5, 2019 at 10:20 PM Jennifer, first of all congrats on POTD and second, yes, I got the soup from that non member too. I sent a copy to admin by email but never got an answer back ! Thanks for highlighting this ongoing problem . Jennifer Proxenos May 6, 2019 at 12:53 AM Thank-you Dear Heart for your congratulations and your meaningful comment - I think that as we are all aware of this intrusion, and as Poetry Soup must be as well, we can safely ignore it. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Eve Roper May 5, 2019 at 7:20 PM Wonderful Limerick , Jennifer, congratulations on POTD. Jennifer Proxenos May 6, 2019 at 12:47 AM Thank you Eve, for your kind comment and your congratulations. Hugs,Jennifer

Alkas Poetry May 5, 2019 at 2:18 PM Hi dear Jennifer, i am brand new here buy i have already received strange mail about investing project !? Good idea make a poem concerning this subject... Have a nice day, salute alkas. Jennifer Proxenos May 6, 2019 at 12:35 AM Thank-you Alkas for a lovely comment. There have been many approached I see from my comments below, it is good that we have all (almost) received these intrusive emails but the best thing to do I guess, is to ignore them. Yasou, Jennifer.

Silent One May 5, 2019 at 12:21 PM Interesting, i must say it has not happened to me... sometimes fake accounts are created on the soup, and sometimes people delete their accounts, so it means the inbox is affected... Congrats on POTD.. Jennifer Proxenos May 5, 2019 at 1:28 PM Perhaps, but still an infringement on privacy SO. Lucky it hasn't happened to you - thank you for your comment and congrats. Hugs, Jennifer.

Brandy Nicole May 5, 2019 at 7:58 AM Always ignore anything that looks odd. It is a Scam most of the time. Congratulations Jennifer, on Poem of the Day!! ~ Brandy Jennifer Proxenos May 5, 2019 at 11:06 AM Hi Brandy, thanks for your comment and congrats - weird that the get through though! Hugs, Jennifer.

Phil Capitano May 5, 2019 at 7:35 AM No matter what the forum, there are always trolls who hide in the shadows trying to gain an advantage. Congrats on POTD, J.P. Jennifer Proxenos May 5, 2019 at 11:04 AM You are quite right Phil - its just that when it happens more than once, one sits up and takes notice and whatever action possible, but as you probably saw from the comments below, many have voiced the same concern. Thank you for your apt comment, and very nice to meet you. Hugs, Jennifer.

Maria Williams May 5, 2019 at 7:23 AM Congratulations on your POTD and for voicing this concern. Yes indeed, like the poets here, I too have had some suspicious mail. Maria Jennifer Proxenos May 5, 2019 at 10:39 AM The best is to never answer their emails and ignore them. Thank you for your congrats. Maria, all the best, hugs, Jennifer.

Charles Messina May 5, 2019 at 7:22 AM Thank you, Jennifer. I have received a few of these myself in SoupMail. I just block them.
