Subject: [SML] OT: Strange email "Help with research on lighting and stagecraft"<br>
<br>
<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_bac4e410-4e26-4ce9-9617-b399c03779a6">
<div dir="ltr">I got this email via LinkedIn asking for info about lighting and stagecraft. Supposedly anyway. They say they are an information company, who specialize in personal and business investigations.
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"The reason I am contacting you today is because you are a professional in a field in which I am researching at this time. In order to successfully help our clients, I need to be familiar with all aspects of each particular case. This is why I am reaching out to you."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone gotten these types of things before? Seems like a private investigation firm building a case about someone/something.</div>
