No reported to MN yet but a few days ago I posted about a sensitive issue (under a different username! So no point searching for it) and today I got a PM from a guy saying he work for a newspaper and would like to talk to me regarding my situation. He asked if we could talk over the phone. I have obviously ignored it as it seemed a little strange and intrusive. Has anyone else got similar message? It was quite long with Lots of details which I just skimmed. He seemed genuine and not someone having a laugh. He included what seems like a work email address with the name of the newspaper

Yeah a couple of years ago.

I just reported and didn't give it another thought.
