I got an email today from this website, telling me that someone had written a “report” on my email address, and giving links to the site:
www.word-of-mouth.org
Out of curiousity, I decided to check it out and sure enough, there were -2- reports on my email, one purporting to have known me for 10 years. LOL Now you can’t read the reports, but you can “anonymously” contact the author(s), except you must be a “power user” of the word-of-mouth site. I didn’t go that far, but will admit to being tempted to, just to find out what these reports said about my email address.
Does anyone have any familiarity with this site? What is this about? Who would be writing and filing reports on someone’s email address? What would those reports say? LOL Help, I’m starting to obsess…hoping that someone can shed some light on this before I go back to that site and sign up for the power user!

Thank you so much, Ice Wolf! Gah, I sensed some sort of scam here… especially after I did go back to the site and found out that the they wanted at least $19.95 to become a “Power User.” I’ll just bet they would have “mis-placed” the reports on my email address too. LOL geeze!
thanks again. 
This sounds like that old “Crush” site that would email you saying you had a crush and then you had to give them all your friend’s email addresses to get hints.
It’s a horrible thing. My sister, who is bipolar, got some e-mails like that from them one time and it upset her terribly. She doesn’t have a good handle on differentiating between legitimate requests from “authorities” and b.s. like this. I had a very hard time convincing her to stop worrying about it, that it wasn’t “real”.
They take advantage of the paranoia in folks. I wish they were run out of business. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
