Is this site for real? Shared experiences? Anyone ever used it? Weird to think that someone has a daily search looking for me? Hopefully it's a tall blonde Scandinavian woman, hhmm shared experience...

Anything that denies being SPAM as much as this, is probably SPAM.

2 - That site returns 404 (Sam Spade safe browser).

If it looks like spam and quacks like spam, chances are it is spam.

4 - I got this on 23 Jun. I do not know what it is but I cannot access it. It concerns me that someone is posting personal information about me such as my e-mail address on a bulitin board without my knowledge. I would like to find out who, and what they are saying about me. Unfortunately the text in this message has a policy of not revealing the source. I forwarded it to my attorney. At th is point I cannot just dismiss it as spam.It is an invasion of my privacy.
