Did anybody ever stop and ask the intent of this person's search. It probably is innocent but I haven't heard this person's motive.

If you would like to PM me, you could ask. Basically this option is a lot cheaper then ancestry.com

I am real and I do not know any Nigerian Kings

I am going to send a letter, thanks everyone for the help!

You have a name and Address and can't find them. HHHHUUUUMMMMM I would recommend not getting involved with his guy. Sounds very suspicious to me. He can contact the local police for information. I would suggest anyone that has a PM from this guy to hang onto it and even contact the person in the villages to inform them of whats going on behind their back.

Ditto. This is a PUBLIC forum and personal information should NOT be shared through a PM or otherwise. Maybe these people don't want to be "found".

I NEVER asked for any information or contact info. The individuals that PM'd me were given MY info and asked that it be passed along.

When I found this site and signed up here, I DID NOT have the address at the time. I do now and will be sending a letter. I did not want to sign up for a scam site that said I could get an address and have my card charged monthly for whatever "service" they were providing. That is why I ended up joining here and asking for help.

I am not soliciting ANYTHING from ANYBODY. I like that everyone is keeping an eye out for each other. I just wanted clear that up. At this point this thread can be closed. Any ADMIN can feel free to contact me if there is ANY concern that this was an attempt to scam somebody. Again I NEVER asked for anyone's information, just that mine be passed along if they happened to know them.

One day we got a call from the Villages main number (might have been real estate, perhaps customer service). Someone had contacted them trying to track down Mr 07. They called us to pass along the info to do with as we wish. Sounds similar to what Thrasher was trying to accomplish. Yes, caution is warranted but there are ways to stay protected.

Thanks!
If you have their address, go to ANYWHO.com. Type in the info you have and you should get a phone number. Not sure though if the search covers Comcast subscribers. Doesn't hurt to try
