It has come to our attention that certain individuals or entities have been distributing unsolicited spam materials regarding iKarma.com. These materials are being distributed without our support, input, control or knowledge. Moreover, the individuals distributing the spam e-mails are taking measures to mask their identity. Despite these efforts, we at iKarma, are working diligently to learn the source of unsolicited spam e-mails and intend to demand a cease and desist of all improper communications and to assist in seeking enforcement of federal and state anti-spam rules and regulations.

Federal legislation was signed into law, effective January 1, 2004, pre-empting all existing and pending state e-mail marketing legislation. The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 requires that certain "opt-out" procedures, including, but not limited to, a functioning return e-mail address (and a time limit of ten (10) days to comply with all opt-out requests sent by consumers), be included in commercial e-mail marketing. The CAN-SPAM Act prohibits the sending of e-mail containing false, deceptive or misleading subject lines, routing information, headers and/or return address information. The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") is empowered by the CAN-SPAM Act to enact regulations that would implement certain provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act such as standardized subject line labeling, a "bounty" system to compensate consumers for being the first to report a spammer and a potential "do-not-spam registry." On December 16, 2004, the FTC adopted rule provisions, effective March 28, 2005, to assist in determining whether the purpose of an e-mail is commercial. Only commercial and transactional messages are regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act. Generally, if the recipient of the e-mail would interpret the subject line or body of the e-mail to be primarily commercial, then the e-mail is subject to the CAN-SPAM Act and its implementing regulations.

In addition, most states have enacted similar anti-spam statutes.

iKarma has been run on the belief that conducting business in an ethical manner is extremely important. This would dictate that we do not market our companies stock through SPAM. If you receive or have received any SPAM regarding the iKarma stock, please forward it to abuse@ikarma.com and we will attempt to find out who has been sending these emails and stop them.
