Cyberheat/TopBucks Responds to FTC Charges

[Topbuckslee]

Webmaster Community,

The FTC has recently contacted our company regarding alleged Can-Spam violations.

We would like to proclaim publicly and vehemently deny any and all accusations that Cyberheat Inc. knowingly participated in any email campaigns that violated the CAN-SPAM Act.

Cyberheat attorneys have attempted to resolve this matter with the FTC. However, we find that the FTC’s motives in this instance are not to stem the flow of illegal spam, but rather to generate money and force companies like ours to police our affiliates with extreme measures and take on unnecessary liabilities.

Cyberheat has always adhered to FTC Regulations and we believe we remain CAN-SPAM compliant. We have been explicit in our communications that we have zero tolerance for webmasters who do not comply with FTC regulations and the CAN-SPAM Act. In our case, the FTC has admitted that they are attempting to make our company liable for affiliates who have broken the CAN-SPAM law and violated our terms. We are confident that we have done due diligence to banish CAN-SPAM violators and that the law clearly is on our side.

Our attorneys are confident that Cyberheat Inc. will prevail in this court dispute and through the judicial process we will be able to finalize an agreement that complies with the CAN-SPAM law while allowing us to retain our legal right to conduct business as usual.

As we begin to set the precedent for what may be many public cases, we know that we are not alone in this crusade. Our thanks go out to the Industry and Community for their un-wavering support.

We anticipate these negotiations and proceedings will go on for several months, but our plan is to continue to conduct business as usual.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us at support@topbucks.com

Nice to see you guys will be fighting this and hopefully, it wont drag out as long as the Maxcash / FTC thing did several years ago.

I guess the difference between that case and the allegations the FTC have made against you good folks is TopBucks is actually a pretty stand up company :thumbsup:

Regards,

Lee
