Interesting no name/s have been given as to yet, so I still remain a bit leary of them. You can say anything in an email and if you don't have a clue who said it, how would you go about filing any type of formal complaint if the info did show up for sale somewhere? Ok....call me a skeptic, but until I see a site that looks credible, with useful info, and some kind of real contact info on who has it, I will continue to send my info to a place I know I can trust not to sell it.
