This notification is being provided to you pursuant to the Court of Appeals, State of Arizona, Division One holding in the matter entitled Mobilisa, Inc. v. John Doe 1, et al., Case No. 1 CA-CV 06-0521.

My name is Shannon P. Murphy.  I recently learned that you wrote and posted an article about me, entitled "Shannon P. Murphy Shannon Murphy Scam artist, ponzi scheme, Colorado Madoff, liar Woodland Park, Colorado" (the "Article").  To my knowledge, the Article is posted on the Scam Informer and Ripoff Report websites.  This letter responds to the false and defamatory statements you make about me in your Article.

Commencing pre-2008, the entire country (and many parts of the world) experienced the worst economic recession in over 75 years, and many sectors are still reeling from the negative impact and effects of this economic collapse and general downturn.  My companies and I were not immune to the fallout from the Great Recession.

In response to one of your claims and to put things in perspective  I lost two homes to foreclosure during this period.  The other reckless claims and all the other defamatory statements you have made about me are totally false.

Your unsubstantiated assertions that I am a con man and a liar, that I am operating a ponzi scheme and taking advantage of investors and others, are all totally false.  I have never defrauded anyone and never will.

Contrary to the advice of my legal and financial counselors, I have never filed a personal or a business bankruptcy.  Instead, I have worked tirelessly for the last three plus years to protect the interests of my companies' stakeholders and creditors.  The primary  bank based in Nebraska with  a local office in Colorado Springs, Colorado that had previously loaned money to my companies has been paid in full, with no discounts or write offs, and my companies and I have maintained an ongoing and good working relationship with a local bank throughout this period of time.  Through the efforts of management, my companies have survived the economic firestorm of the last several years.  In fact, two of the mining companies will be in production in late 2011.

On Friday, May 20, 2011, I authorized my attorney to file a civil action against you in the District Court, El Paso County, Colorado, Case Number 2011-CV-3199.  That action is now pending and I am suing you for economic and non-economic damages caused by the false and defamatory statements you have made about me.  Because you have chosen to make these statements without disclosing your identity, I have asserted my defamation claims against John and/or Jane Doe(s) and/or Doe Entity(ies).

However, as soon as I am able to do so under applicable rules of procedure, I will issue subpoenas to the companies that operate Scam Informer and Ripoff Report, compelling the hosts of these websites to disclose all information they have about your true identity.

You can rest assured that I will aggressively pursue all avenues to learn your true identity and I will aggressively pursue my damage claims against you.
