"Groupee" scam?

[bjudd]

this is the beginning of an email I received a week ago.    I searched "groupee" & "network" & found nothing.   Is this a scam?   Did others get this?


Registration Confirmation for Groupee

what a bunch of cynics we are

I didn't reply either. Although I tried logging into Dorian's site and failed as I needed a groupee account...

The e-mail version I received said something like, "because you already have a Groupee account..."  Funny thing is, this is the first I have heard of Groupee so I don't remember ever signing up and I don't know how to change a password.

I got the same thing about 3 weeks ago and emailed our esteemed moderator about it.
It is in fact the Dorians site's new server.
No problem there, but was actually scared at first as it showed my password and user name correctly.
Can breathe now as it's not one of those phishing or vishing schemes.

Ray,

Read above, it says:

Please note that the Pagoda SL Group will not be modifying, creating, or using your accounts or passwords.  If for some reason we were making a change in our system we would contact you ahead of time.

Well, I tried too and it said I couldn't log in with the email address I have. Not being all that great at computor stuff I've decided to leave rather than figure it out.
All I did was argue with the '' classic car '' 107 guys and read the same 113 posts over here. I'm too busy for that......
