In Dec. 2003, I received an e-mail from memolink.com stating that I would receive a $75.00 gift card by just signing up for a credit card. I proceeded to sign up for a credit card from USA Gold. When I realized this was no ordinary credit card, that it was only to purchase from their catalog and there was a $149.00 fee, I tried to back out of it. I did not hit the accept button. I was immediately accepted and I had to call the next business day and have them cancel.

The very next day, I started receiving e-mails from everywhere because memolink had sold my e-mail address. Within a week, I was receiving 300 or more e-mails a day. I have a single telephone line and dial-up networking, so this made it impossible for me to send or receive personal e-mail. If I did not delete the e-mails daily, it was totally unmanageable. I received e-mails from females saying they wanted to meet me (I am not a l*****n), e-mails offering nude pictures and all kinds of profanity and much more. I never opened any e-mails and deleted them. I realized that I was not going to get a $75.00 gift card, but I wanted all the e-mails to stop.

I contacted memolink about all the e-mails and the fact that their offer was misleading. They would reply that I had not earned enough points to get a gift card, but would not mention the e-mails. I contacted the Attorney General of my state and they contacted memolink, but they denied any wrong doing. The Attorney Generals office could go no further as formal enforcement action by their office is not warrented and informal mediation had failed.

After 5 months, I have finally got the e-mails down to a managable number by ignoring and deleting. Memolink says I was deleted from their e-mail list on Jan. 13, 04, but on 4/23/04 I received a MemolinkLotto daily reminder and I have tried to unsubscribe from this, but have been unable to. It is companies like this that give the internet a bad name. I am almost afraid to visit any site now for fear I'll be signed up for more e-mails. I don't expect anything from Memolink. I just want other people to beware of them.

#3 UPDATE Employee

Memo Link Corporation claims affiliation agreements with Costco, Columbia House, Visa, Mastercard, Wall Street Journal, Target, WalMart, Kmart, etc

AUTHOR: Jared - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, July 15, 2005

However, if you contact these companies they will deny any affiliation. This is huge. Memolinkcorp.com uses these affiliations to gain the trust of people so they will surrender their personal information.

This gathered information is then sold intelligence agencies, foreign and domestic. It is sold to organized crime elements and other scam artist to identify their pidgeons. It is sold to whoever has the cash to fork over. This is bigger than identity theft because people can't claim theft if they give it over willingly.

Screw the confidentiality agreement... I am telling what I know. This company is evil and it depends on regulatory agencies remaining asleep at the wheel so they can make a ton of money and use a fraction of it to fend off legal attacks.

The next five year will be real trippy. Just wait.
