I have recently received an unsolicited invite email to Join the world's largest family tree. It has given me the name of who I suspect initiated the invite, but a return address of no-reply@geni.com The email shows a 'profile picture' of the person which ties up with her facebook profile..
Questions: Is this a genuine invite from the named person?
Is this Geni.com instigated to try and get more members?
Is this a result of a spam/hack on either Geni.com or the person's account?
How can I tell which is the correct answer?
Oh, and I have been a member of Geni.com under 'my other email' for over 5 years!

Oton Zagorc The invite email was sent by Geni on behalf of a user who entered your profile, perhaps not realising that you already have one. Geni on its own does not send unsolicited emails.
There are actually 3 profiles with your name in Geni. As they have no overlapping information I can't tell whether they are duplicates or different persons. One of them has invalid email, one is not a user, and one joined in 2015 and has a tree with 5 profiles. Please send me a message from your Geni account (not here in Help) so that I can identify which is yours and perhaps merge duplicates and join the other tree. If you accept that invitation you will end up with 2 trees.
