Comment: I have gotten three "reports" lately from http://Word-of-Mouth.Info/ContactUs.asp saying the following: "Word-of-Mouth.Info is obligated to inform you via email (if possible) that
a report has just been submitted about the person or persons associated
with this email address (mtndance@networkfocus.com)." Plus a bunch of other stuff. What the heck is this - some sort of Spam? I feel really threatened by this and wonder if anyone out there has any information on these people, and why anyone who has my e-mail address already would "research" me, rather than just sending me an e-mail. I don't want to respond the the e-mail for fear that it will just generate more Spamm, which is becoming overwhealming! Can anyone help?

Reply: It is a type of spam, but what it really does is harvest addresses, do not respond to it, as it will cause your address to be verfied and will result in more spam being sent to you.
