If I may, I would like to express some thoughts, in regard to the concerns raised here. Keep in mind, though, these are only personal opinions. To those concerned about joining the website, exercise extreme caution. Never give your personal password out to anyone, for any reason. In doing so, you grant them full permission to use it. Further, their Terms of Service seem to express that they will send out e-mails and use your personal information for commercial purposes. To those who have joined and want things to stop. Change your e-mail passwords, block the Yaari site from sending you e-mail and make a formal request to the parent site (Yaari.com) to remove your information (as per their Terms of Service and your best judgment). For those concerned with receiving spam e-mail, simply block the site and report any e-mail from them as spam. Lastly, if any website requests such private information as passwords or access to other information which you normally would not give out, there is nothing wrong with saying 'NO' and reporting such suspicious activity. Peace, love, and hang-ten, web surfers! I have not joined the Yaari website, but I have recently received an e-mail invitation (one of my friends must have joined the site).
