Recently got several emails, that just had to have started via the eBay site, as they are an email that I never use anywhere else. The email (I have removed my email address and replaced it with MYEMAIL) states as follows-

Word-of-Mouth.Info is an online meeting place where users from around the
world can perform background research on individuals and businesses using
the powerful information source known as "word-of-mouth". A user that has
had experience with or has opinions regarding an individual or business
will submit an "Identification Report" whose purpose is only to identify
the individual or business in question. Other users are then immediately
able to search through and review these "Identification Reports." When an
interesting report (typically regarding an individual or business that the
user knows) is found by a user, he/she may then begin to communicate with
the report author through our Anonymous Email System to learn the
experiences and opinions of the report author regarding the report
subject.
*Important! - Word-of-Mouth.Info "Identification Reports" are only for the
purpose of identifying the report subject. They do not contain
information additional to that which is viewable at no charge by any and
all users. "Identification Reports" do not contain fields into which
report authors can possibly enter any information aside from that which is
for the purpose of identification. "Identification Reports" do not
contain and cannot possibly contain any potentially defamatory information
and "Identification Reports" are not to be construed as positive or
negative.
If you decide to contact the report author through our Anonymous Email
System, do so by using the links that clearly appear in each report.

Word of mouth! Yeah, just like real life! Everyone talks about you and they don't know what the heck they are yakking about.
I would be wary of even searching for my profile there because it would put my name into their database I think.

What a goofy idea! Can't wait until they e-mail me. I report all spam. Then check to make sure
the site was taken down or else complain to the
ISP again.
