Empowr.com FanBox A "social network" that destroys trust rather than building it San Diego California

I received an email from Empowr on behalf of a personal contact, asking me to "Approve your relationship with J-**** ". I clicked the link, and in the process, was asked to sign in with my Google account. This resulted in sharing my contacts with Empowr, who then proceeded to SPAM all of my contacts with similar requests to "Approve their relationship" with me.

I did not authorize Empowr to send any emails on my behalf! Several weeks later, Empowr continues to spam my contact list, this time with a claim that "K**** D**** (me) wants to send them $20." I did not take any action to initiate this blast!

Furthermore, empowr disguises itself AS ME. In the footer, the disclaimer states "This promotional email has been sent by k**@d*****.com (ME!!)". Rather than own up to its own spam, Empowr makes it appear as though I, a private individual, am the one responsible, and the one who initiated this giant blast of deceit.

I have received dozens of emails from friends and colleagues - "What is this? Is this really you? Have you been hacked?", causing material damage to my reputation and trustworthiness. I have no idea how many of my colleagues have now added me to their spam lists, crippling my communication with them.

The business practices of Empowr are dishonest and predatory. This is like a Nigerian scheme with better ad-speak. I am still trying to recover from the damage that has been done to my character by my unwitting association with this business.
