Aren't you over-reacting just a little?  Spamming, whether it comes from
a real person or not, is a part of everyday life.   It's not illegal.  Go
look in your snail mail box for examples of paper spam.

If the multiverse ad failed to mention the $50 startup fee, that's hardly
proof that there was malice or false advertising.  Free-net is a free
service.  To complain and whine because your pristine mailbox is overflowing
with spam is silly. On the other hand, if APK or NACS has a problem
with this this sort of mail, it's a trivial matter to ban *.multiverse.com 
from accessing its ports.

Give it a rest and stop whining.
