I am going to back you up on this one. I got an email about 2 months ago that was similar to what you are mentioning. They claimed that they had definitely found my Clara Jackson in their database and to check it out. When I went to the site it asked for my credit card info. I left the site without a second thought. I cannot remember the name of the site but it wasn't genseekers. I really knew that the site wasn't legitimate when I received the email because it contained some info that could only have come from a message I left on another list that I have since concluded is incorrect. If they had contacted me a few months before their so called lead would have looked very promising. Be careful, beware, and have a safe and happy holiday season.
