Interestingly I got an invite to this from a prominent member of this forum, I joined but have had no problems...mind you I did not grant them access to my email contacts, they were a bit insistent but I eventually skipped passed it.
I must look into this more

Just did some research and according to Norton they're safe. Check it out here: safeweb.norton.com/report/show?name=shtyle.fmSeems if you put anything into google someone, somewhere will say "scam," of course it might be true, but according to Norton they're OK and safe. |

Hi Guys ..........well I'm afraid Im the culprit so to speak in this one and would like to apologise to all who received the invite. My daughter sent this to me unknowns to her what it was quite innocently in fact I just accepted her invitation as you do and that literally opened the door to the scammer to access my contacts list  Hope it hasn't caused anybody any undue hassle and for future ref just in case you get an email from this site SHYTLE.FM just bin it unopened ...... My apologies again to everyone affected by this unfortunate scam and thanx to Terry for the tip off as well ........ Regards Barry |

Mystery solved! Thanks Terry for bringing this up. I got on too (from Rickly69), didn´t open it but wondered of course what it was about and how they got my mail address. Now it´s going straight into the bin.
