Rule of thumb... never respond to spam or click on links in spam (suggest
receiving in text only e-mail). Many of the links that have unique
identifiers (such as the one below) will identify that there is a "warm
body" on the other end of the e-mail. Bang, your in their database. Yep,
they are telling you the truth "someone is trying to get data on you".

Subject: [SLUG] Anyone Else getting these?

I am getting bombarded by spam from this site.

It appears that they have some sort of "gosip" site that is used to
exchange data on people. I have been getting notices that someone is
trying to get data on me or asking questions about me, there are 2-
4 of them per day. If I open the mail and go to the web site there
is a list of queries about my e-mail address.

Is anyone familiar with this and what are they trying to do short of
getting me to sign up and give them $ in order to find out what is going
on.
