I've contacted AOL
MANY times, and the offending web-page is still hosted by AOL.
I am writing to this and other newsgroups where this "envelope stuffing" advert
has appeared in order to alert people to the sort of attitude that AOL is
showing by continuing to host this BOGUS advertising.
The person with the screen-name "easymoney713 AT aol DOT com" has sent spam in
VIOLATION of states laws, and continues to have an account on AOL even after
repeated complaints. This is NOT good business for AOL!
