Of course the whole thing could be a scam in an attempt to get info they don't already have. I took one look at the site and turned away. Deep down I feel it's a scam.

Someone on Facebook posted a link to Snopes; it's a legitimate site but it just gathers information that's already out there on the internet. The scam part is that they want you to pay to see what they have found; and some of the information is not accurate. It's not the only site; I remember looking at a different one a year or so ago with similar options and charges. I didn't pay then either.

Thanks Anne. I was afraid that was the story. I guess we just can't trust anybody these days.
