I just called this place, they exist, they SPAM'd us. Will someone with
balls enough to do this please send them a bill and fight them down for
the money! I have included a little information that might be of use.

BLuR

By US Code Title 47, Sec.227(a)(2)(B), a computer/modem/printer meets the
definition of a telephone fax machine. By Sec.227(b)(1)(C), it is unlawful to
send any unsolicited advertisement to such equipment. By Sec.227(b)(3)(C), a
violation of the aforementioned Section is punishable by action to recover
actual monetary loss, or $500, whichever is greater, for each violation.

Several users at my site have complained about excessive amounts of unwanted
email advertisements from you. I demand that you stop this immediately.
