Cris,

I would say be very, very careful.  It is not a good idea to reveal too 
much about yourself, your address etc on the internet.
Is the invitation to join the group signed? If no originating valid 
evidence appears, I would not entertain it.  But, what is the group you 
are involved with have to say about it?  Perhaps you could obtain help 
from that source.

But, I would say, you are already showing suspicion.  Act accordingly, Cris

Others will contribute to this, I am sure.

All the best

Rick H.
