Perhaps the server operators have thrown them off. 2) They do claim to offer a refund if dissatisfied. Given the number of negative postings on the internet, it seems difficult or impossible to get a refund. 3) They do offer an "unsubscribe" feature in their solicitations, but it apparently does not work. 4) Complaints apparently have been or may be filed with: The Federal Trade Commission Office of the Iowa Attorney General US Postal Service 5) Elias Abodeely MAY be an ALIAS.
