Internet word-of-mouth
This is really unsettling. Who is doing research on me? And who is offering information about me? What kind of information are we talking about?
Here’s the pitch of the company:
Obviously, there must be some people in our world that have previous experience with almost any particular
individual. The problem is that you may not know them, or know of them. Furthermore, many times the people
you know are reluctant or unwilling to share information with you because they lack anonymity. For
example, one person may not be comfortable sharing information about another person because of fear that
same person would later discover he or she shared this information, and so on and so forth.
Yikes. This is terrible.
(Note added 26 July 2004: Oh, I see, it’s a scam. Clever.)
