none available Homerun.com - They offer free gift from a friend, then steal your email address book

Thanks for posting this. I got an e-mail from them this morning for a free bottle of wine from a facebook friend. Typed homerun.com scam into google and got your post. Glad I did not click. WTF is wrong with these companies? They can all rot as far as I am concerned.

Wait, an email from a stranger asked you for your email password and you provided it to them? Because they promised you truffles?

I hope you've since changed your password (not just for that email account, but also everywhere else you use the same password).

I received this same scam email addressed to me from my son's work address. To be on the safe side, since I did try to click on the response, I changed my password to any accounts involving money and any of the passwords I used. Sneaky devils! I usually am so careful but this one caught me! It was for chocolate, which, of course, my son knows I like. I will NEVER click on anything, even purportedly from a family member, that asks for private info without checking with them first! Lesson learned!

I can't believe I fell for this. I never do, but it was a gift from an not-unexpected person with web savvy, and the page looked legit. Ugh!

I received one from an indie bookstore I had just begun to do business with. It was for truffle fries at a restaurant in the neighborhood of the bookstore. I thought, that's odd, but I clicked to accept the "gift." Three weeks later, just days before Christmas, they sent - to everyone in my gmail contact list - an email, saying I was sending them truffle fries as a gift. I have filed a complaint with the FTC, the local police department, and am preparing a lawsuit against them, including for stealing my identity. Merchants should avoid using this site because they can too be sued.

I got one for free movie tickets. I went through the same process of signing up, but I don't think what they are doing is any different from what Facebook or a bunch of other sites do. In order for them to have access to my contacts, I had to log in and enter my account information. Then, after doing that, I had the option to deselect any or all of my contacts before clicking the button that claims the gift for me and shares it with my friends. Personally, I deselected most of my contacts, included just a couple of them, and then got my free movie tickets. It would be different if I never entered my info and it already had all my contacts, or if it automatically sent an email without my clicking any buttons. Though I would prefer it didn't auto-select my contacts (or have sharing the free gift as part of the claiming process) I don't think anything was "illegal" and I definitely wasn't "hacked."

I did not select ANYONE for them to send emails to. AND my email contacts in my gmail accounts are not my "friends," they are my business colleagues and in some cases strangers. I did NOT authorize them to send ANYTHING to anyone. Their email is extremely deceptive. They need to have a disclaimer saying "If you put in your email password, you are giving us permission to send this solicitation to every person you have ever sent an email to or received an email from." WHO would agree to that? No one. That's why they don't have it.

Yes, this is a scam. I received a free beer from a friend and all I had to do was click on a link.

Except I had to give them my webmail login and the offer was really for a $2 beer.

Clearly they are trying to get people to advertise homerun.com for free to everyone in their address book.

I got a free movie ticket offer and the first thing I did was type in Homerun and free tickets - thanks for the posting. I knew it was to good to be true! saved me the hassle... wish more people would think before they click!!!

I too fell for this. I did, however, use my "spam" e-mail account that I have set up to give to companies that want an e-mail from me. I didn't complete the offer though because it asked for my credit card information to get my "free" tickets. I was afraid they would steal that information too.

The first thing I do when I get one of these offers is email the person(s) who purportedly sent it so they can immediately alert all their email contacts about this latest scam. Too bad Norton doesn't invent something to screen this sort of thing.

I received the "free chocolate truffles" e-mail, also with the bad grammar. It was from a good friend who has sent me gifts like that. But when the homerun.com page asked for my e-mail address and password, that told me it was a scam. How would THEY know if I'm logging in with the correct credentials?? Thank you, scamchecker.com for confirming it.

Thanks! I just got an e-mail from @homerunmail.com offering a free movie ticket. Glad I checked here first. Darn, I was all excited to go see a free movie, too.

caught me too; the $10 free movie ticket offer from a friend. How much trouble do I have? I clicked on the link but did not add any info. Now I see I have an "account" at www.homerun.com and they have my email address and a credit balance of $.05 and a "friend" which is my original friend who sent the email. I have so far not been able to reach her. What is my best course of action w/r to the site? Leave it alone or try to get my email & account off the site? Am I in any danger of email harvesting right now?

Make-200USD-Per-Survey@aol.com = SPAMER. CARE = SPAMER
Make-200USD-Per-Survey@aol.com = SPAMER. CARE = SPAMER

Make-200USD-Per-Survey@aol.com = SPAMER. CARE = SPAMER

I got this, too, from a friend, and didn't click because it was clearly not really from him. But what I want to know is whether clicking where it says "if you prefer not to get promotional announcements from homerun.com, click here" would be a good thing to do. With regular spam I would never click on anything and let them know they reached a real email address. With real but annoying businesses that somehow get my address, I do unsubscribe. Any comments?

If you get an email from these people, the very best thing you can do is click "Report Spam" or "Flag as spam" in your email system. DO NOT click any links in the email. If you do, to be on the safe side, erase your cookies and change your password.

Jan Windglows aka Queen Lilith bloodloveandlustspells.com, James Morgan aka Micheal Jenkins, Mike Cahill et.al. STOP THE SLANDER AND LIES about Mary Prantil Internet

Jan Windlgows believes that if she tells her lies enough someone will believe them.. Jan Windglows has targeted Mary Prantil. Jan Windlglows spends hours every day writing false reports about Mary Prantil. Have you been to the police yet? NO you wouldn't dare or you will be arrested. Who is paying you to slander and lie about this woman? Will you go down for them? A Shrine to Queen Lilith is a sham, a fraud the stupudist thing I have every heard of. Who would pay someone you have never met $ 1200 for a spell...........a total fool. After your victims realize they have been bilked they then realize there is no Jan Windglows or Queen Lilith. For now you have a almost perfert crime going. You are getting away with ripping people off now but that is over.

10 Most Wanted is interested in investigating your scam. Finally you will all be exposed. You are a living case of Aids and there is no cure for what you do to peoples lives. Please goggle Mary Prantil and this is a small example of your evil. Many of your clients complain and you just write another false report about Mary Prantil.

I promise that I will be in that court when you are called to account for all the harm you have inflicted on Mary Prantil. I want you to open your ugly mouth and read the thousands of pages of lies you have written and printed on the internet to promote your evil business. Justice would be to give you one year of jail time for every lie you have written. We would blessedly never hear from you again. Your associates will not go free either. Again association is all part of the same crime. If you haven't got the time don't do the crime.

Today Jan Windglows has spread the lie that Mary Prantil is a child molestor. Where did that come from? Do you take drugs? Are you insane? Are you a convicted felon? and a child molestor?

Has the IRS found James Morgan aka Micheal Jenkins now in Florida? Are you all in Florida? Where are you Jan Windglows? Where are you hiding? Do you think the planet is large enough to never be found? Have you any idea how many people want to see you put in jail? How many clients are you going to scam before someone pays to have you found. You just run your ugly mouth off. Just think about defending your lies in a Civil court. I figure that you fleece at least one person a day for $ 1200 to $ 1500 and get that person a 2nd time for another $ 1000 you could be sued for millions. And once a jury reads the filth you have wriiten over the years about an innocent person that stupidly gave you $ 3000 totally and you are attacking your victim WHY?

No jury on the planet is going to let you walk or get away with four years of lies and slander. My advice to Mary Prantil and her family is to sue you in Civil Court for the millions you have ripped off and your associates should also be named in the suit.

Welcome to the real world, no spells are going to save you, your words are going to destroy you which is the perfect karma. So James Morgan aka Michael Jenkins and Mike Cahill.

Mary keep printing every filthy lie these monsters print everyday. They will be buried in their lies in a court of law. Your day of justice is coming and they will PAY. Money is your God Jan Windglows you are now worth millions from ripping people off promising "spells" you can't perform. And of yeah The Divinity is not happy with you either. Ad's will be put on the internet and in newspapers inviting any/all victims to come forward and hopefully recover your ill gotten moneis. You pray in the weak, the paranoid. This is a dream case for a good civil lawyer.

Jan Windglows you make me sick. You are disgusting, You have commited so many crimes its all about to catch up to you.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE MONSTERS.. DO NOT GO TO ANY WEBSITE CONNECTED WITH JAN WINDGLOWS. Psychic in Seattle is not wanted by any police department are you?

You sound like a very young person with no education who has been in trouble with the police for quite a while. No real address, no way to contact you!!!!!!! WHY NOT. HIDING?

I have a feeling that Jan Windglows is wanted by the police and is on the run? You sound like a convict in prison with access to a computer. Who else has the time an energy to generate the thousands of pages on multiple sites that you have and WHY? Fake radio stations, You have never contacted me and as I screen all my calls you never will. Many clients have been ripped off and humilated by Jan Windglows. Jan Windglows is a living cyber stalker and needs to be stopped.This will all end in a court of law.........................

Keep the faith and don't listen or believe anything that generates from Jan Windglows aka Queen Lilith, Micheal Jenkins aka James Morgan or Mike Cahill or don't get sucked by any of their criminal cites.
