to keep this list as current as possible. You may contact
ThiefWare.com and provide the information about the advertiser.

such services, please send ThiefWare.com an e-mail so the list can be updated.
About The Advertised Keywords
The keywords listed may or may not be currently used for advertising by the company
listed. They are listed because at one time they were used or are currently being
targeted.
ATTENTION: We will NOT post web sites that feature
porn, gambling, hard-core language, and other objectionable material that we deem
offensive even if they are guilty of advertising with ThiefWare services.
Notice the "cc" in brackets ( [cc] )?
When sending an e-mail to advertisers, please also click on that “cc” link. It
will open an e-mail with the subject filled in and a message in the body of the e-mail.
The message will ask you to place an "X" inside the brackets next to the method
of contact. This is so that ThiefWare.com can track how many times an advertiser has been
contacted. Your e-mail address is kept completely confidential and will not be used to
email you unless you require a response from ThiefWare.com. We appreciate your help.

Comments: ConsumerInfo.com is one of those very
persistant advertisers despite complaints to them from various other Web site owners. We
need to send these people lots more e-mail because of their determination to use eZula
TopText as an advertising medium. They are not ignorant of the designs of eZula's
advertising methods.
The two companies above are deliberate advertisers and know
full well what they are doing to Web site owners when they use our sites to advertise on
without compensation. It does not matter what rationale they use for supporting ThiefWare.
It's not ethical.
