Then why do they ask for so much personal information on their sign-up page for a yahoo id? I can think of no reason why they would to know so much about me unless they were trying to develop a victim profile on me for targetting by spammers. Another reason why I suspect them is that their main web-site used to sponsor some links for porn enthusiasts. Most porn sites promote their web sites by spamming.
