Darrel Uselton—UACP: Notice of publication and demand for $1,130 for SPAM
From http://protrading.com/about.html
“… Mr. Uselton is currently the founder, Chairman and CEO of Land Investors of America, Inc., a publicly-held LAND investment company (OTCPK: “LIVA"). (See: LandInvestorsOfAmerica). In 1999, Mr. Uselton founded unHatched.com, Inc., a technology incubator, which ultimately became uAuthorize Corporation, a publicly-held internet holding company (OTCPK: “UACP") that currently operates in excess of 30 ecommerce websites, for which he also serves as Chairman & CEO. (See: uAuthorize).. Mr. Uselton has further owned, operated, funded, or advised hundreds of other businesses in a variety of industries throughout the past 15 years. ...”
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:
12/29/04: Mortgage Banker Dana Capital Group Named in Junk Fax Lawsuit
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/12/prweb192051.php
10/10/04: Consumer Sues Ameriquest Mortgage Company for Spamming, False Promises, Misrepresentation and Incompetence
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/9/prweb156653.php
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:
1/14/05
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?

UACP - Uauthorize Inc. - SPAMMER gone public! ProTrading.com - WarrierCapital.com
They have no fear.
Mike contacted me because his domain planetmike.com was used as return address in the spam and he received thousands of bounced emails.
This happened to me once, my webhost shut down my e-mail and I had to move to a VPS because hundreds of thousands of returned mails were bringing down the server - never a good thing but really bad on a shared server. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time and money to find out who the spammer was. Since I depend on email for my business, my life was hell for several months until they finally quit using my domain.
http://www.planetmike.com/spammers/uauthorize.com/ has some info with Mike’s research.
Uauthorize Corporation owns Protrading.com, interestingly, this domain was created in 1998. http://protrading.com/ advertises “Public Shells”.
Of course http://www.publicshellmerger.com/ is also a uAuthorize domain.
So is http://warriorcapital.com/
“Warrior Capital, LLC is private investment firm headquartered in Houston that is primarily engaged in a continuous investment program of acquiring private companies and/or taking companies public, and secondarily on providing trading management (see: http://www.protrading.com/) for small to mid-size public companies and companies seeking to go public. ...”

UACP—Uauthorize Corporation - 27 SPAMS for another VoIP and marketer - SELL!
Over the weekend I received 27 e-mails for UACP - Uauthorize Corporation http://www.uauthorize.com/
The product is another Voice over IP - sounds just like the Twister Network scam.
They’ve put out press releases, apparently own a bunch of websites selling crap nobody needs and that’s probably why they’re such accomplished spammers.
http://www.uauthorize.com/business.htm—yup, how did I guess ...
http://www.uauthorize.com/spam.htm—they deny spamming, can’t wait for the result of their investigation and especially the lawsuit: “uAuthorize will not hesitate to pursue whatever legal recourse necessary to enforce these policies.”
They owe me $270 for the spam. Will they pay up?
The FAQ is boilerplate and they haven’t gotten around to replacing specifics such as “A. uAuthorize will hold its next annual shareholders meeting at [time] and [place].”
What a bunch of losers! The only contact info I could find is and —and that’s where I’ll send the copies of this posting.
SELL before the promoters!
Here’s the SPAM:
