Re: Fwd: Need Help Against Unethical California Software

If you don't have a maintenance contract with them, when California Software
Products put a stamp on it and put it into the mailbox, they committed MAIL
FRAUD, which is a federal felony...

Ask your company attorney and he'll confirm that this is true!

BTW, I tried to call the number given by Jim, but there was no answer.
However, their FAX number does appear to work - when I called it, the fax
machine answered.

Regards,
Steve
