Narrative:
Upon entering the office to pay the landing fee; I was told to call TRACON that I violated a tfr. Earlier that morning I obtained duats briefing online and NOTAMS are listed at the end of the duats session and this tfr did not appear. I spoke to someone in the office who also said they did not see this NOTAM. Additionally; I get email notification from a pilot website concerning tfr's and I did not get an email about this one. Someone in the office also indicated they did not as well. The unicom office started looking for a tfr notice and found something for south hampton and it said 'no airports affected.' after learning of this I started searching for information and found an airspace NOTAM for hto which said; 'airspace see flight data center;' with a link to a phone number which was out of service. A search of the FAA website for the issue date days earlier; which is when this tfr was issued results in no such tfr. At the time of this writing I have been thus far unable to find any more information about this tfr. I believe this tfr violation occurred because the tfr was poorly published.
