It's a site called word-of-mouth-connection.com ?? I received an email saying my background is being looked into?
And, if you go there, it shows my email 4 times. Kind of weird, if you ask me.

I haven't received such a thing, but it sounds like a variation on the theme reported in this "urban legend" report found on Snopes.com...

You might be interested in reading that article. Sounds as if your instinct that this is "weird" is absolutely correct. If you're not familiar with snopes, you might want to bookmark the site. It's great for checking out stuff like this, before allowing yourself to be suckered, or sending on some of the wacky warnings that find their way into our in-boxes.
