You might have conned a membership out of me had you not done that Oddly enough, no long lost classmates bothered to email me at my displayed public email address. However, since updating the photo constituted activity, I received a new "someone signed your guest-book" notice at that public email address today. While I suspected as much of the site, it is nice to see that I am neither the only one who had these suspicions or the only one to figure out the "jpg image = email address answer". Thanks to Keith for the link further validating my suspicions. I was amused that I was not the only one to do this, I created a jpg with this message:

I saw this article a bit later in my search: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/241/RipOff0241175.htm So, yes, I'd say it's a scam.
