I suppose it is wise not to give out adresses, even your own, unless you are really sure. Saying that, i did it but the persom who contacted me was genuine. Unfortunately we are not suspicious enough and think everyone means well. |

Actually, he hasn't been removed. He's still there, but the person who reported him has been removed! I think our friends at GR are losing the plot! |

I have seen at least one obvious example of this website being used by somebody trying to track down a woman who is trying to avoid him. What is to prevent a nutter from turning up on somebody's doorstep as a result of a tipoff from a wellmeaning member of Genes Reunited? I urge members to be cautious when passing on details to third parties. |
