It&#8217;s all about how to get rich by suing spammers for the low, low price of $34.95. (no legal knowledge required!) It even says that you can &#8220;Start looking forward to finding those emails selling Viagra, Mortgages and Porn&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Sign me up, I need some dough! I&#8217;m actually tempted to see what&#8217;s in this wonderkit, but $45 is a little much to read the equivalent of a 1-800 ambulance chaser ad. Interestingly enough, the company that markets this package has a bunch of other domains (which I won&#8217;t bother listing), all of which hide any kind of real information by using their registrar&#8217;s contact information or a service like <a xhref=\"http:\/\/www.domainsbyproxy.com\">Domains by Proxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The final part that&#8217;s really funny, is that the parent company is identified as &#8220;Fusion Corp&#8221; in Austin, Texas. There&#8217;s a <a xhref=\"http:\/\/www.expoactive.com\/\">web advertising business<\/a> that has a parent named &#8220;Fusion Corp&#8221; in Austin, TX as well. Maybe they&#8217;re hoping people will sue their competition to open up the market for them. Fusion Corp seems to have a bunch of other sites that sell\/promote spyware that allows you to check up on your kids and spouse.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, an entertaining company that I will stay well away from, curiosity and all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw an ad for this site and had to laugh a little.
