Is this someonelikesyou.com thing for real?

It's an email collection device to be sold to companies for spamming lists.

Pure spam. Avoid at all costs.

Now... don't get me wrong... you can go sign up, and type in the email address of someone you like, and THEY will get one of these things. You fill out a profile, etc. And, when they come to this site to find out, they have to put in a certain number of email addresses who they think it might be. For ever five, they get one clue - part of the information you filled out in your profile. Then, for another five, they get another clue and so on until they find out who likes them.

But guess what.

All those people whose email addresses she put in to get the clues get their email addresses logged and sent an email... one that exactly matches the one YOU got that initially got you to the site.

It's a HUGE pyramid.
