Volkswagen of America has hijacked our company's primary domain "VW.NET"
We simply cannot compete with Volkswagen's armada of attornies and public
relations specialists thus we are liquidating our Virtual Assets.
A recent ruling actually awarded Volkswagen  100K+ legal fees!
Obviously we are appealing, but we need help.

The first asset is LIE.COM at public auction on ebay.

If you are interested in placing a bid on http://lie.com ; here is the the
direct link.

Thanks in advance for your patience and concern we felt you should know what
is going on
here as it could affect all of us.

Sincerely,

James Patrick Anderson (CEO)
