Phishing Trip?

Options
This is a new one to me, received an e-mail asking me to click on a link to connect me to https://namesdatabase.com which is a similar service - apparently - to friendsreunited.

Do you think someone is phishing, especially as one of the bits of info they want is "mothers maiden name"?

    Dunno, but while I was looking at info, the membership no. was increasing. Is that possible without refreshing the page (I mean can it be real people enrolling?)
