There exists a premium newsletter service that specializes in the penny stock world. It is owned by DK Madison LLC, a Limited Liability Company managed by Dan Lee with a corporate address listed as: 4 Ashfield Ct., Littlestown, PA 17340.

On January 23 2012 this entity delivered two unsolicited spam emails to me and at least 4 other people that I talk with receiving the same unsolicited emails from them.

Their website claims to give you advance notice of stocks that will be promoted but I didn't really know anything about them until the emails I received today and after I spoke with one member that pays for their service.

When I clicked the link to make sure they never emailed me again I noticed that they used "Express Email Marketing" to send out this unsolicited email. I found out that the email service is owned by GoDaddy so I called them. They directed me to their terms of service and in fact what occurred today violated their terms. I probably violated federal spam laws as well.

One stock message board has said that the senders purchased the bulk email lisst that was used. At first I brushed that off as a rumor but this evening the member that belongs to their service sent me an image of their chatroom and in fact Dan Lee admitted to purchasing the email list that was used to blast out emails using express email marketing. According to the CAN-SPAM Act it is illegal to use purchased email lists for sending out commercial bulk emails.

There is so much spam going on and more and more of it reaches my inbox. I normally do not take so much time to write about experiences like this but so many of these spam emails are related to penny stocks so I just could not ignore this issue and do nothing.

There are legal websites that say fines can be as much as $1,000 for each unsolicited commercial email sent and I will continue to pursue this until I feel that justice is served.

Our response

AUTHOR: Dan Lee - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, January 24, 2013

DK Madison LLC bought what they believe to be, an entire business. This business included an email list. DK Madison LLC was informed by the representative selling the business that all members on the email list had opted in to receive emails from the business which now belongs to DK Madison LLC.

After sending emails to a portion of the list, we realized that the business had an email list that contained suspect email address. At this point, we sent an opt-in email to members on the list that had not opted in directly with DK Madison LLC.

The list and the business we had purchased had additional issues. We have no desire to send spam or emails to people who do not want emails from us. We have disposed of this business and the email list connected with the business. We will never send one email to this suspect list.

All email address on our current lists have all opted in directly with DK Madison LLC or have opted in with our partner agreements to receive emails from us.

We regret that the individual selling their business (which included this list) had misled us. This has not been a pleasant experience for our company and we have lost the money that we paid for a worthless business.

Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss this further.
