I have recently gotten a couple emails from a webpage saying somebody has filed a report on my email address.  
[http://word-of-mouth.info/Search.asp](http://word-of-mouth.info/Search.asp)

Anybody have any experience with this place? Is it a spam webpage, sending me false reports to get me to visit the page or is it a pretty legit place?

Can’t say for sure, but it sure as hell _looks_ like an e-mail harvesting website. It’s very vague about any details.

I just went there and I found it suspicious. Too many clicks for different kinds of e-mail setups. And to contact them - send an e-mail. No corporate data given on home page.
