This is great! I got duped by the same email. I had friends that were supposedly trying to contact me. Then I discover that unless they are members also, we cannot email one another. Or, will they forward my email to them, unless they are a member.

That membership didn't last long. I dropped Classmates.com like a hot potato!

See, good does prevail.

I'll be honest and admit I signed up for classmates.com but I'm a cheapskate and as soon as they asked for money I ran for the hills. I kept getting E-mails about classmates veiwing my profile and wanting to meet me, all I have to do is sign up for the Gold Membership or summat.  I just unsubscribed to it and they eventually stopped. Now about my Maximum PC Gold Membership...

I wonder if he's killed himself. Being known as the unpopular, lonely guy who sued classmates has to be an atom bomb to his self-esteem.

Classmates was a clever idea when it came out like 10 years ago. The internet has grown up a lot since then and most aren't willing to pay to find out what the rest of your high school class is up to. I mean really, who cares?

Hrm, while what I believe they have been doing is wrong ... it doesn't take
a lot of sense to realize it was a scam.

If you start a membership you can view other people’s info right? So then,
if classmates were trying to reach him and they had a membership ... why would
he need to create his own membership?

If someone wants to get a hold of me badly enough, they will. I am not going
to try and help anyone find me by creating a membership. That just doesn't make
any sense.

So someone is looking at your profile but they haven't contacted you. They
obviously don’t feel the need to talk to you for some reason, why bother trying
to get a hold of them? :/

 THANK YOU!!!

Now perhaps they'll stop emailing me every other day with the same false info. It was a useful site that got greedy, and has become irrelevant since one can find all their classmates where they're really hanging out...
