1) Shared user information about visitors of Pride Counseling--which targets the LGBTQ community, despite telling them email addresses would be “kept strictly private” and “never shared, sold or disclosed to anyone.”

A bunch of good suggestions here for spotting scam sites, though I will say in lingerie we don't usually let you phone us because so many of the calls are . . . er . . . heavy breathers, shall we say.
