My e-mail to Darrel Uselton:
1/13/05
Dear Mr. Uselton:
You caught my attention due to the many spams I received for UACP and I posted my observations at http://pennystock-fraud.info/news.php/stock/symbol/UACP/
As of right now, I have received 113 spams for UACP and I hereby request payment of my statutory damages of $1,130 for violations of the AZ Commercial Electronic Mail statues.
While the CAN Spam Act preempts state spam laws, it specifically does NOT preempt claims relating to false and deceptive spam.
The charts prove that the promises in the UACP spam were entirely false.
I believe that you are a crook. Please review my postings and should you disagree with my assessment of your operations, please notify me in writing.
To gain a better understanding of my motivation and lawsuits, please review my related press releases:

To settle my claims or if you feel that you are not responsible for the illegal UACP promotions, please contact me by Monday, 1/17/05, as I will take legal action against you and/or your companies.
Sincerely,
Christine Baker

Mr. Uselton’s reply:
---------------------------------
Ms. Baker,
First of all, we do not succumb to extortion, and are furthermore NOT responsible for the emails being sent. We are working diligently to discover who in fact are sending these illegal emails as we do not, and never have condoned such activity. We have a large shareholder base, and it is our belief at this point, that a substantial shareholder hired an Investor Relations firm who has in turn utilized illegal spamming activities without our prior knowledge. We have, and have had for some time, a strict anti-spam policy at uAuthorize Corp. (see: http://www.uauthorize.com/spam.htm) and are actively conducting an investigation to cause an immediate cease and desist order against all such activity and parties conducting such activities
Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience that whoever out there has caused, but please do not threaten us without the facts and demand money, as extortion is certainly more illegal than anything you have wrongly accused us of.
Sincerely,
Darrel Uselton

And my response:

Dear Mr. Uselton:
1) Please explain which part of my e-mail constitutes extortion. I have a legal claim, I believe that you’re a crook, as detailed at my websites, and I have reason to believe that you or one of your companies sent out or ordered the spam.
2) Who are the shareholder and the “Investor Relations� firm who you belief to be responsible for the spam?
3) Please provide me with a copy of your complaint with the SEC about the illegal promotions.
It is intolerable that the SEC has done nothing to stop the illegal promotions, you must be outraged! I will forward a copy of your complaint to the SEC and inquire about the status of their investigation. Please fax to 571-222-1000 ASAP.
Sincerely,
Christine Baker

1/15/05: I have not received a response from Mr. Uselton.
Could it be that he didn’t file a complaint with the SEC?
Could it be that there is no investigation by Uselton, that there is no *other shareholder* responsible for the SPAM?
