[ISNRV] fabricated listserv

Assalam Alaikum Dear Brothers and Sisters,

A number of community members continue to complain about being added to a new listserv without their consent and have asked for instructions on how to report the group and leave it. We are including an easy to follow step-by-step guide of how to do so here (the attached document shows screenshots of each step). It should take you less than one minute to report the group and leave it.

Step 1: Perform a google search for Google Groups and click on the first link.

Step 2: Step 2: Select the list-serv you wish to report. In this case, it is called Muslims of New River Valley.

Step 3: Select the three dots button under the name of the group.

Step 4: Select Report Group option.

Step 5: Select the abuse type and click Submit Report.

Step 6: Select My Membership Settings from the bottom left-hand side menu.

Step 7: Select Leave Group at the top right hand side of the page.

The group is most likely created by an individual (or individuals) who illegally have access to ISNRV listserv emails. We are continuing to investigate with local authorities the unauthorized publication and use of community member emails.

Moreover, we encourage community members to use appropriate mechanisms for communicating thoughts and feedback to the ISNRV administration. The ISNRV leadership is well known to the local community and easily accessible during the regular masjid events and prayers. In addition, respectful and well-intentioned feedback can be communicated to theleadership through our main page through the recently implemented feedback form on our website.

Jazakoum Allahu Khairan for your patience.
