So I got an email this morning from my website... there is a form that you can fill out and send in on one of the pages. Below is the email, edited for privacy...

Dear Sirs:
I saw a commemt submitted by JOHN SMITH on your website regarding DUAL CCFL KIT (March 6, 2003) he purchased. I am his stepmother, and I have been desperately looking for him for over a year. I am hoping that he is JOHN E. SMITH, born on April 10, 1965. (I have something important to tell him about his father, JACK SMITH) I think JOHN may have been living in Canada. (I found his name on the web as one of the winners for subscription to Urban Male Magazine - a Canadian publication for Canadian Circulation only, the Publisher was not very cooperative.) I know he was in ANYTOWN, Utah after he left California.
I imagine that you will be able to contact him based on his purchase record, perhaps. Would you please be so kind to contact him and ask him to call me (daytime office number XXX XXX XXXX in Los Angeles, CA, evenings XXX XXX XXXX or cellphone number is XXX XXX XXXX) or he may contact his brother, JOE at XXX XXX XXXX (in ANYWHERE, CA) or his stepsister JANE at XXX XXX XXXX.
If it is easier, perhaps you can forward this e-mail to him. I sincerely appreciate your consideration of my unusual request, and should you have any questions please let me know.
Again, thank you for letting me use your website to try to reach my stepson.
Very truly yours,
JAMIE A SMITH

This doesn't come off at all as any sort of scam or trick... she isn't trying to get any information about him, just to ask him to contact her, or for me to forward the email to him. I'll probably just wind up sending the email to him, so he can make a judgement. Based on the record I have on file for him, he doesn't match up, but I might as well follow through just in case.
Any thoughts?
