I received a message on my Geni home page that looks suspiciously like someone's phishing. Is there any way to tell for sure?
In case it matters, I have a Basic membership, and I do not plan to upgrade in the foreseeable future.

Jeff, Geni Curator Susan, if you're talking about Ernest's post on your guestbook, yeah, that's a tough one. Here are the options that I see.
If you're interested in finding out more or finding out what relationship he has, I'd suggest contacting him via the Geni "Contact" message system. This will send a message to his email, but will not expose your email. To reply back, he'll have to send you a message through Geni. Alternatively, I think it will send him a message if you reply back via your Guestbook, but your conversation there is not private. Of course, you can just send him an email directly, but this method does provide him with your email if that is a concern.
If you're not interested, I would just ignoring it or reply back in the guestbook thanking him, but that you're not interested. I don't think it reaches the level to consider it spam, but if you want to mark it as such, there is menu on the right of the guestbook message that allows you to mark it as spam.
Hope that helps.
