Is about.me Safe?

about.me is almost like an advertisment page, or introduction page; if you're looking for some gainful employment-related work. It's a sell-yourself page if you're in the market of content writing of any kind or whatever it is you do. Professionally or not. It is a very safe site, mother-approved, kid-friendly, and family-oriented site static page letting you click on a button to go to whomever website URL. Best of Wishes, William

Mar 2016: made a purchase at Namecheap with a year of premium membership at about.me May 2016: finally, support activated my premium membership (due to an unknown issue it was not automatically activated at my date of purchase) Jan 2017: I don't check my page very often, but when I checked, the premium membership is, gone??? Even if it starts in March it's still two months left. I don't think this is merely coincidence or some technical difficulty, This is totally scam.

Funny that an email address that I gave up and closed down (an estoppel was notified to senders who sent an email to this address), continues to be spammed, 8 months later, with reopening this email address (with a garbage account) to only observe if spammers abandon or not an address that has been closed for a time. I receive 6 SPAMs per day from the same sender, after a pause of one month after the reopening of this e-mail address that received, 8 months earlier, 20 SPAMs per days! ===================================================================== It's either: A shop or other that uses SPAM to his promotion (adverts), even famous brands, deemed reliable, do the same now, I've seen public services in any country to use SPAM for their advancement (tourism, trade fairs, shows, festivals, etc..), there is only a small step for hospitals, police, governments, schools, ... will go do the same too. A disaster of modern times now affecting other means of mobile communications (smartphones, tablets, SMS, etc..). Or if it's either: An address used for SPAM, endless new addresses (even the wacky, with a letter changed, weird word, numbers, .......) are created permanently to bypass filters, updated constantly, that harassed and antispam services put to block this scourge! Apparently this is the feast of site creations including fake sites for spam, scams, to sell us (legally or illegally) their products or services, and pollute the planet with electric resources wasted, thank you also HOSTS complaisant with the SPAM and the world of profit! One day, the number of Internet domains used for SPAM extensively exceed the number of useful internet domains, like the number of SPAM received which represents 90% of e-mails that are received in the world! Proof here: ***** /!\ A VERY IMPORTANT TIP /!\ : DON'T CLICK ON ANYLINK IN A SPAM, INCLUDING THE UNSUSCRIBE LINK, BECAUSE YOU WOULD CONFIRM THAT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IS VALID, TO BETTER SPAMMING YOU, SPAMS are very contagious with illegal resale data, unofficially legal in corrupt countries! REPORT DIRECTLY SUSPECTS E-MAIL, SMS OR CALL TO SERVICES PROVIDED FOR THIS PURPOSE THAT THE AUTHORITIES AND ASSOCIATIONS HAVE PUT IN PLACE TO COMBAT THIS PANDEMIC! ================================================================ List of spams (Same OWNER) : ***** => ***** => HU81-FRNIC => Hostmaster Unetun , 7, place de la Gare , 57200 Sarreguemines , FR, +33 9 70 80 89 11 , HOST: ***** , ***** , ***** , ***** , ***** , REGISTRAR: 1&1 Internet AG => ***** , ***** , nic-hdl: L13437-FRNIC , type: ORGANIZATION, contact: LPM , address: 20b, rue Louis Philippe , 92200 Neuilly sur Seine , FR , phone: +33 6 35 51 83 15 SEE: ***** ================================================================ SPAM 1 Sender: Découvrez vite l'assurance habitation AXA à partir de 3,25EUR par mois , ***** , ***** , ***** , .....

Sends out lots of emails telling you about supposedly brilliant features when in reality all they want is you to just go on their website again. All I wanted was a quick page for my business and i keep getting e-mails with content i couldn't care less about. As with all other social network type websites children should stay clear as really all about.me is is a modern myspace type thing.
