I have been spammed several times over the past several weeks by a service called Naymz. Several people it seems have wanted me to "join their reputation network." Bah. Like I need another way to connect with all these people. I tend to ignore invites to these kinds of services on general principle.
A co-worker of mine sent out an email grousing about this service. His main complaint was that they send out invites to your contacts using your email address as the sender. It confuses people as they think it was you that really sent it versus a service of questionable value.
Look, I can see why these services employ these kinds of spam tactics, but there are nicer, more friendly ways of building the number of profiles into your service. Needless to say I won't be signing onto Naymz, nor will I recommend anyone else do it.

Same happens to me all the time. I hate naymz and i will never ever recommend nor use it!
Same with reunion.com. Scraping my profiles and putting it up on their website. Sleazy sites. Why am I required to ask them to remove it? Why not asking me for permission before using my profile? Deleting your data from reunion.com is not easy, you have to call them and wait for a long time until someone can speak to you, and then they asked for your birthday! I declined to give it to them and just told them that I don’t want to have anything to do with them. With naymz, at least they provide an online tool to do it.
I do not like Naymz at all and have the same issues. I honestly believe that Naymz should be banned from the internet. They will take your credit card in order for you to get the free trial service yet will make it very difficult for one to cancel. I like LinkedIn which is a great way to network. Who needs Naymz?
