Along these lines, I have copied text (below) of an email I received two days ago.  FYI: my husband and I own a CRM firm (and have the same last name) so I presume they found us on the web?

Anyone hear of this outfit?

EMAIL TEXT:


Greetings,

  

  

One of our clients from a major U.S network is seeking two family members who have been working together, manage, or own a Cultural Resource Management firm for a major television series. The mission is to be determined, but it could range from an exploration of an iconic and long mysterious relic, or it could be a mission where each hour sets out to solve a long held mystery, such as an underwater lost civilization to even explaining some strange archaeological formation like Stonehenge.

  

Additionally, I'd like to inform you a little bit more about our company, Past Preservers. Past Preservers is the creative hub between the cultural and media worlds, an archaeological broadcast media company. Feel free to inquire more into our company by visiting our website at http://pastpreservers.com/

   


If this is of interest to you, or if you happen to know a CRM firm that might be, please contact us or forward them this information respectively at [log in to unmask]

> National Geographic Channel said Monday that it would "indefinitely" pull a 
planned television series on unearthing Nazi war graves after days of blistering 
criticism from archeologists and others who said the show handled the dead with 
macabre disrespect.
> 
> The channel said that after "consulting with colleagues" at the National 
Geographic Society, it would not broadcast the series, "Nazi War Diggers," in 
May as scheduled "while questions raised in recent days regarding accusations 
about the program can be properly reviewed." The show was to have been broadcast 
globally except in the United States. 
> 
> National Geographic Channel International had commissioned four episodes of 
the show, in which two British metal detecting specialists, a Polish relics 
hunter, and an American, Craig Gottlieb, who deals in Nazi World War II 
artifacts, hunt for the graves of German and Red Army soldiers on the Eastern 
Front.
> 
> National Geographic Channel issued a statement Friday defending the show and 
saying the criticism was premature, based on early publicity materials that "did 
not provide important context about our team's methodology." The channel pulled 
those materials from its website.
