Hey, any good friend would do the same thing... "where do you work", then spend some time there and find out who you know.... nothing wrong with that right.
I do have a problem with them hacking E-mail. I did some gun deals a few years back. Saved the mails just for reference, brought one guy's wife up saying you might know this person after a one time purchase from 2 1/2 years ago. Just saying.
