didn't get a PM such as this, but did get a letter several years back from a guy in Oklahoma, wanting to know my DOB, mother's maiden name, city of birth, etc....he gave his name and phone #....not knowing the guy, of course, i was suspicious, so the letter was filed away and forgotten for a while...several months passed and i "found" it again, re-read it, and thought ...why not....????...i would just be sure if i even got in touch with anyone to divulge absolutely no personal info such as SS#, bank info, etc.
i called, he answered....in the course of the conversation, it ended up he was a close friend of my natural father whom i had not seen since i was four years old...this guy had been doing a search for me at my father's request for many years...it ended up my father had been living in Paragould, Ark. for many, many years (less than 300 miles from me.!!!)...with information supplied by the guy from Oklahoma, i called him,and after identifying myself to him set up a meeting at his house, drove myself and wife and son there for a "reunion"...it was very emotional but a sense of closure that cannot be fully expressed...i was also re-united with a brother and sister i had not seen since i was 4 years old, i am now 62, so do the math....
i had several years with my father before he passed away, and we put many things to rest, and put many things behind us....where they belong..
not saying this is the case with the original poster's PM..just passing on my own experience.....sorry for the long ramble here, no way to really condense the story any more than i did here..
