ATTENTION EVERYONE! QUIT WASTING REAL MONEY ON IMVU NOW! Warn everyone you can not to spend any real money on IMVU and to get a refund on any IMVU cards purchased before it is too late. I have never spent any real money on IMVU and never will. Why anyone would piss away real money on highly overpriced IMVU virtual crap is beyond me. The corporate structure of IMVU inc. is dysfunctional and in disarray. IMVU inc. is greedy, arrogant, and ripping off clients any way they can, pulling one slick scam trick after another. IMVU inc. is openly hostile toward its customers, lazily allowing auto bots to disable accounts for invalid reasons or no reason at all. The company is uncommunicative and demonstrates a lazy draconian mentality, refusing to intelligently address and/or resolve any issues. Customer service does not exist. Press statements and advertisements by IMVU inc., as recorded on the site and elsewhere, contain false and fraudulent
information. An active user revolt is uprising against IMVU inc. with legions laying siege to IMVU inc. any way they can while recruiting legions of outside supporters to join in. IMVU will soon go the way of
www.faketown.com , defunct and never to be heard from again. All IMVU users are advised to copy and backup all their IMVU files and data in accounts unrelated to IMVU and set up accounts on
http://secondlife.com ,
www.meez.com and/or any other sevice(s) they prefer before IMVU is loaded with a plethora of tools that will be hostile to all computers logging on to IMVU or just perusing the site. As a precaution, future emails from IMVU inc. should be deleted without opening. All computer system administrators should block access to IMVU ASAP to keep computer systems from being infected. Merchants selling IMVU cards should recall all such items from their shelves and return all orders and demand full refunds. All parents should do all they can to
keep their kids off IMVU to include directly blocking access to it on all the computers the kids use.
To learn the truth about IMVU inc., type "IMVU" into any search engine, like ask.com or alltheweb.com, and look for the review sites and/or type "IMVU review" into any search engine. On sites that have an official review posted by IMVU inc., skip down to the comments. Try other search terms like "IMVU SUCKS".
Read the reviews posted at the following sites.

The Better Business Bureau will be flooded with complaints and negative reviews about IMVU inc. at
http://sanjose.bbb.org/Business-Report/IMVU-Inc-225868 where the IMVU inc. Company ID: is 225868. Everyone is encouraged to post their grievances against IMVU inc. as many places as possible starting with TrustLink which is associated with the Better Business Bureau. Read the reports and post your negative reviews about IMVU inc. at
http://www.trustlink.org/BusinessProfile.aspx?ID=206049811, where myself and others would rate IMVU 0 (zero) stars, not the obligatory one. Be sure to copy this TrustLink URL into all messages about IMVU inc. sent anywhere and everywhere on the Internet. The TrustLink site contains a rapidly growing number of negative reviews about IMVU that the BBB is retardedly ignoring for a statistical reason.
This document, containing copies of email communications in the lower portion, is being spammed all over the Internet at a geometric rate. Copy this document into email accounts you use and email it to yourself to use the links generated by the email systems. Anyone reading this document should make copies to maintain and share everywhere possible as it may disappear from some places it is found. The more open this record is to public view, the better it will serve to depose IMVU inc. from their contrived position of ruling their cartoon world. Everyone is encouraged to copy it, chain email/spam it, and make everyone on your friends lists aware of it. Post copies on every network you use and to every consumer watchdog group, news publication and/or blog with your own grievances against IMVU inc. included for use in all forms of public media. Send your reports to the publicists that reported on IMVU inc., in the past, as found on the IMVU web site. The
list of those publicists and their reports is included below followed by an alphabetical list of them with their web site URLs and email addresses or location of web forms.

Send copies of your reports to the top venture investors backing IMVU inc. as found on the IMVU web site, listed below in alphabetical order, with their web site URLs and emails. These companies should distance
themselves from IMVU inc. as soon as possible, as much as possible. Any further investing in IMVU inc. would be just throwing good money after bad.

www.menloventures.com businessplan@menloventures.com info@menloventures.com webmaster@menloventures.com Use search engines on the company names above to find articles about the involvement of those companies with IMVU inc. and send copies of this report and others to the emails of the sites posting the articles. Do the same for sites reporting on IMVU inc. and for real fun type "IMVU SUCKS" and similar things into the search engines to find more anti IMVU sites to send reports to which will recruit many others to join in.
Links and/or URLs to wherever this report is displayed should be posted and/or maintained by everyone for quick reference as additional information will be added and others will make reports and/or add comments. Reposting will need to be done when reports are removed from locations for any reason, such as IMVU inc. finding and flagging the report. Posting this report may require registering a new account on some services. Disposable email services can be used to register such accounts.
Maintain plain text copies of all reports as well as other versions as many web site forms will only accept plain text documents.
For those who want to participate in destroying IMVU inc. I present the following options which should be added to as this document is passed around the Internet. Do any or all of these as you will and add to them. The company claims to have only 60 employees so do all you can to keep them busy to the point they will resign from IMVU inc. and look for other employment more suited to their levels of incompetence.
Below is a list of IMVU email addresses, as found so far, that appear to receive email. Add to this list as more are found then chain mail and spam this document all over the Internet so others may participate in destroying IMVU.
no-reply@imvu.comCEOfeedback@imvu.comDMCA@imvu.compress@imvu.comdwright@imvu.comdanny@imvu.comCaryJay@imvu.comClare@imvu.comBrett@imvu.combizdev@imvu.comMatt@imvu.comjobs@imvu.comchattynatty@imvu.comceofeedback-bounces@lists.imvu.com fraud@imvu.comimvusupport@imvu.comProvide the email list above to all spammers, chain emailers, auto senders, subscriptions, and the like. Copy this full report to common named disposable email accounts, message boards, bulletin boards, classified ads, and anything similar as resources permit. The goal here is to overload their email servers and keep them overloaded. Content is not important in what is sent but size (the larger the files the better) and volume (multiple rapidly repeating hits) are. Sending porn of all forms (including child porn) and subscriptions to porn can be done but given the goal of continuous server shut down is met, for IMVU inc. to actually see any of it is not important, so any mindless dreg in any format will do which should include any and all manner and forms of viruses, worms, bots, spiders, Trojans, password stealers, phishers, spyware, malware, pop-ups, registry errors, and anything virally hostile to all that is IMVU.
The next two emails are related to IMVU and should receive similar treatment.

Notice a toll free number is not provided on the IMVU site. Pass the telephone numbers on to telemarketers, joke of the day, and any other such annoying systematic callers to keep the phone system busy and the message system filled to capacity with mindless dreg, possibly preventing important messages from getting through or being acted on in a timely manner. Anyone willing to spend some money or not can also make prank calls that could be recorded to post to Internet public media sites like YouTube. Repeatedly make collect calls and toll free calls from public phones to keep the lines busy at no expense to the caller(s). Post the numbers in all forms of advertisements for phone sex or anything else that attracts attention, like free offers, wherever advertising may be done for free and is known to be highly frequented and utilized like craigslist.
Fax large volumes of anything to waste the paper in the fax machine and hose it up to waste IMVU inc. resources which may cause the loss of or delay action on important time sensitive information. Post the fax number much the same way as the phone number, or even as a phone number.
Create disposable IMVU accounts you do not care about for spamming messages to as many IMVU accounts as possible. When IMVU disables disposable accounts, make more. Below is a sample message to send to other IMVU accounts and post to any groups you may join for that purpose.
(For the subject line when posted to groups.)
IMVUinc is ripping you off! Learn more at
http://www.trustlink.org/BusinessProfile.aspx?ID=206049811or
Learn all about IMVU inc. at
http://www.trustlink.org/BusinessProfile.aspx?ID=206049811(For the message body for groups copy and post this entire document or for IM on accounts, just the paragraph below.)
"ATTENTION EVERYONE! DO NOT WASTE ANY REAL MONEY ON IMVU ACCOUNTS!
IMVU has automated bots that disable accounts for no reason. Any attempt to contact anyone in IMVU inc. will fail. Read the reports at
http://www.trustlink.org/BusinessProfile.aspx?ID=206049811 which testify how IMVU inc. conducts its shady business. Copy/chain mail/spam this message to all the IMVU accounts you can using IMVU accounts you do not care about. IMVU will disable accounts used for this purpose to keep others from learning the dirty truth about IMVU inc., which will remove all copies of any message posted by a disabled account on IMVU web profiles and groups. Making copies of this message on the worthless accounts that show up in the "Cool New People" panel is a very good place to post. Messages posted to groups may not stay long for group members to read but the card with the account name and tag line does so be creative. Leave this info in forums if you are willing to use an account you own the name to. Everyone reading this message should
copy it to a non IMVU private file immediately for future reference. "
For sending messages, be sure any message used fits in the word limit for the IMVU message window by typing a space at the end. The message can be copied on to the web profile of a disposable account in any panel that is made visible to everyone that visits the account by copying and pasting it into the panel after selecting edit, then the HTML option. Use the "Cool New People" panel for this purpose so spamming to those accounts is more efficient. The "My Interests" panel should be open to everyone with plenty of key words to attract attention edited into the interests part of the panel and this article copied into the HTML editor with the HTML pre tag in front to make it readable. The Enter key can be used to edit the article to fit within the limits of a full size window on most computer screens so readers do not have to use a scroll bar at the bottom. The "About Me" panel should have an interesting name, graphic, and tag line to attract attention and
leave long lasting statements in joined groups long after the account is disabled. Be as creative and efficient as possible.
Join groups using disposable accounts and copy/post all the reports on TrustLink into those groups. Popular groups may get more visitors to read what is posted before an account is deleted but groups with small populations may display the disposable account card up front long after the account is disabled.
Make other disposable accounts loaded with all manner and forms of porn and links to porn including child porn which may include any and all manner and forms of viruses, worms, bots, spiders, Trojans, password stealers, phishers, spyware, malware, pop-ups, registry errors, and anything virally hostile to all that is IMVU. Load the "My Interests" panel with plenty of key words to attract attention to those disposable accounts which should not be used to send any messages or make any posts but may join interest related groups or just silently visit the accounts of members of those groups to increase awareness of the accounts. These accounts should have interesting names, graphics, and tag lines to attract visitors. The accounts can be teen age accounts. Open the accounts for everyone to look at. News agencies, talk shows, and all levels of law enforcement can be informed about these kinds of accounts on IMVU with some account names supplied, preferably
with stats showing plenty of visitors. Make reports about such content on IMVU to all possible media to the public. Anything that can act as a catalyst for all aspects of IMVU inc. to be fully investigated, prosecuted, and put out of business should be utilized.
The account names of the CEO and top executives of IMVU are listed below.

Messages posted to the accounts above could be the most embarrassing due to the volume of visitors, but should be done with disposable accounts that do not post elsewhere as they are sure to be disabled the quickest. Frequent postings could be very effective. Posting to each with a different account would be much more effective as they do not all log on each day.

Frequent postings could be very effective but not as needed as these accounts do not get logged into nearly as much. Posting to each with a different account would be much more effective to keep messages in public view.
Visiting accounts that only have the "My Visitors" panel open to everyone can attract some attention to disposable accounts that have messages and documents showing in their web profile panels but would have to be visited often as the "My Visitors" panel rotates the 8 allowed to show at one time
as they come in last in first out order.
All the accounts listed above and any known to be part of IMVU inc could be compromised and/or harassed by clicking the link "Report Homepage" in the upper right corner of the web profile and continuing to flag the profile while leaving a creative remark in the obligatory form as required. The accounts may be erroneously disabled by the IMVU auto bots. That would be ever so rich.
Depending on message length limits, if any, this entire report can be posted to all forums on IMVU using accounts that you own the name to. Use a plain text version if needed.
Creating disposable accounts for multiple users all knowing the password could be a useful time saving strategy given no two try to use the same account at once. Using the same password for multiple disposable accounts and publishing the account names could be another time saving useful tactic. Any one account can only be open on one computer at a time.
Do anything to disrupt any and all services by IMVU inc. and discourage all others from using IMVU except for this purpose, to include that the IMVU site is blocked and filtered everywhere and that IMVU inc. ceases to make any more real money so to be permanently put out of business, which is the primary goal.
My first trivial efforts against IMVU inc. had a major impact on IMVU as the following email demonstrates.
Your account has been temporarily banned

no-reply@imvu.com To: "Guest_SissyLesbianSexSlave_disabled_39762527"
Hello, Guest_SissyLesbianSexSlave. You have been warned before about following the IMVU Terms of Service. When we last suspended your account, you created alternative accounts and spammed many users. We do not allow spam at IMVU. You also claim to have hacked multiple accounts on your homepage. That behavior is also not allowed. As a result, we are permanently banning your account.
Regards,
IMVU Customer Care & Education.
Notice the title says "Your account has been temporarily banned" while the text ends in "we are permanently banning your account.". This shows how IMVU will lie, and fail to pay attention to detail. When IMVU "last suspended" my account, it was done for an invalid reason as documented in my first email to IMVU inc. which was stupidly ignored by everyone at IMVU inc.. As for the statement "you created alternative accounts and spammed many users.", I used accounts to spam the IMVU inc. executive and related accounts that have open "My Messages" panels as listed above and many of the phony/unused accounts that appear in the "Cool New People" panels of all web profiles, which myself and many others will continue to do as the dirty truth about IMVU inc. is made public. The statement "We do not allow spam at IMVU." is irrelevant as there is nothing IMVU can do or will be able to do about it. IMVU inc. is looking at the wrong thing again and not paying
attention to detail when stating "You also claim to have hacked multiple accounts on your homepage.". That claim is on the web profile to impress the uneducated but anyone reading the web profile completely with comprehension as well as reading my original email below would understand the accounts listed were public accounts that were open on public computers that did not require a password to open them and those accounts did open automatically when the computer was turned on, which demonstrates the viral nature of IMVU inc. to attract users. Furthermore, checking the dates of use of those accounts would prove most of those accounts ceased to exist before this account was open. My introduction to IMVU started when one such account opened after a computer was turned on. The accounts that were still open after this account was opened were still being used by others who may have been the original creators of those accounts. All the accounts in the list
were closed or disabled before this account was first looked at by IMVU inc. which only happened because I used the first two free credit links in my web profile. For more detail about the other accounts I used read the email below. The locations where those other accounts existed for my use now block IMVU from their computer systems, which unrelated, started the day after my account was first disabled. "That behavior is also not allowed." Which behavior, hacking, or just claiming to hack? Again IMVU is incoherently not paying attention to detail. "As a result, we are permanently banning your account." I can easily rapidly regenerate this account and any other disabled by IMVU which is also stated in the email to IMVU. Demonstrating retardedness, IMVU disabled my account, which given IMVU will be permanently out of business soon due to my efforts and legions upon legions of others, is
also irrelevant and of no importance at all. IMVU becomes increasingly useless as it is blocked at a geometrically increasing number of computer networks and tools to unblock it such as proxy servers are also blocked. All IMVU users will learn the truth about IMVU inc. and move to Second Life and/or other similar services, where those who want to be developers do not have to pay real money to make virtual products.
The emails between me and IMVU inc. before posting this report are below in the reverse order email systems create, so start at the bottom email and work your way up.

> IMVU data is in error. Find some intelligent monkeys and look again. The only reason IMVU looked at my account is because I used the "FREE PROMO CREDITS" links I have in the "My Groups" panel that anyone on IMVU can use freely every 24+ hours and/or copy to their own accounts which on their own negate any concept of credits being asked for or given for anything. I suspect the crap that followed results from poorly programmed automated bots that react to key words with no concept of context, meaning, or even if they are likely to appear to a human viewer as in the case of text that is the same color as the background, which I have not done, or ALT text in graphic code which does not appear to a viewer unless the viewer has a technical problem on their end or is purposely looking at source code. Read what I wrote in the "My Wish List" panel copied below.
> "There is not much point in doing a wish list here since IMVU can disable this account at any time without any warning or reason. I will only use promo credits for this account so IMVU will profit nothing by being snotty. Avatar accounts in use for cybering, research, testing, and photography have been separate and listed on the "My Buddies" panel, but I am making some use of this file in 3D since I found ways to secure this file at the new unsecured location, which has manual security on some computers so I can wipe out this file and reload it when I want to, and IMVU did something to make the 3D download work at the secure location, though that requires downloading for each one hour session."
NOTE: At the time of this writing, the administrator at the non secured computer lab has blocked access to
http://www.imvu.com using Webwasher, yet IMVU avatar accounts are present on most computers waiting for a password, if those will still work. I have not gone 3D on IMVU at that location with this account yet. I have tools to get to anything blocked by filters. NEW: The administrator removed those accounts among other things.
> No one is asked for anything in the "My Wish List" panel on any of my accounts and the "My Wish List" panel for this account and all the others except one that is disabled do not show and/or link to anything from the IMVU catalog. If anyone could give credits to anyone else on IMVU I would simply make more accounts and transfer credits to the accounts I work with. I could easily get more than enough credits for what little I want just by using only the first two links of the "FREE PROMO CREDITS" links I keep in the "My Groups" panel. I did not even bothered to use those links for this account until recently because I suspected automated bots on IMVU would be triggered to do something stupid as happened to two of my other accounts. I tried to contact IMVU about what happened to the other accounts using the retard purposely designed to be a cantankerous impediment to progress ticket system and got no response. Name an item I requested as a gift. IMVU
cannot for there are/were none. No one else could know what I may want. Researching and testing the IMVU catalog requires much time to find out if anything close to what I want even exists on IMVU and so far I see no way to throw away items I do not want. I never requested sex nor would I, which due to geography alone as well as a multitude of other factors is not only logistically impossible but in point of fact obviously quite ridiculous. All data on IMVU accounts is potentially fake/phony/invalid/fictitious and any that is not should be. The previous introduction to IMVU said "Be the Person You Want to Be.". The current version of IMVU includes "Create Your Own Fantasy" as part of the intro, not "Duplicate yourself as best you can, be real, and accurately represent yourself, because other users on IMVU will be meeting you in the real world.". The whole point of an avatar system is to create characters that could not possibly exist in the real world
and play those characters in the virtual world without ant traceability to anyone in the real world. Any that want to represent themselves for real to contact real people in the real world can find plenty of other services on the Internet designed for that purpose. I am completely untraceable and have no interest in direct contact with any humans. When I go 3D on IMVU I get so many invites I seldom have time to do anything else, so invites have only gone out to those who, in the same session, had invited me first and either were interrupted by a system failure or wanted to change rooms. I accept all the apparent female invites, juggle them as best I can, sometimes working with a slow system, often having to waste time rejecting all the obvious males with an obligatory explanation included. As far as the cybersex is concerned, there is no need for any soliciting from me. Some are ready and know what they want, and understand all is freely given as best
as possible with the current technologies, which was done within the few short time limits that were possible thus far, which logically amounts to nothing more than imaginations playing with cartoons and/or text composed of a bunch of binary 1s and 0s so IMVU, grow up already. The pathetic spasms of IMVU over cartoon sex and texting are just plain retarded. Others need some education because the IMVU invite system does nothing to cause the inviter to get intimate with the web profile of the invited before issuing a chat request. Some do not even bother to read the name which alone would answer questions they often ask and should clue males not invite me. I advise any I can, when possible, about the "FREE PROMO CREDITS" links in my profile which exist as an experimental tool to generate traffic to the web profile, which is really nothing given anyone with a whim and a trivial amount of skill can copy the links to their own profile and use them, again
negating any reason why credits would be asked for or given for anything.
> As far as the IMVU TOS is concerned, that is little more than a Corporate American ploy to cover IMVU Corporate ASSets. Such lengthy documents on the Internet, like the one on IMVU, are vagued out in legalese to be purposely incomprehensible to even the most educated, and far too long for any to waste time reading even if they could comprehend it. A great percentage of IMVU users do not even communicate in the common language written here. Does IMVU translate what users write in other languages and codes? I expect the answer is NO! Most IMVU users are incapable of writing coherent messages with any sentence structure, punctuation, and/or correct spelling, often making up codes only they understand. IMVU knows better than to think the IMVU TOS has any meaning to most users. IMVU may as well toss the IMVU TOS.
> Now here is where IMVU gets a corporate spanking. First of all, if IMVU was demonstrating any intelligence at all, AP accounts would be offered from the beginning of account generation, just as adult designations are offered by web site providers, other profile sites, and the like. Most everything that may be objected to by IMVU on the profile for this account was taken directly from non AP accounts on IMVU, many of them teen accounts, although I copied, stored, and renamed them in other accounts on other services to prevent any loss and for use outside IMVU, as well as all my panel codes, text, and contents, which I can easily quickly copy to new accounts. Your feigned concern about teens and preteens is laughable at best and functionally 100% impotent. On the IMVU end, IMVU is so desperate for users; IMVU account security is virtually nonexistent. Public computer systems that do not run automatic security to wipe out the hard drive of each computer
within designated time periods and after each user then reload the basic system back to the hard drive for the next user, often contain an IMVU account that anyone can use. The creators are often kids including preteens which make accounts of any age, who sometimes even use the same account at home and/or elsewhere. These accounts often do not have the IMVU trivial excuse for a password system in use, often automatically opening the account to whomever, whenever the computer is turned on after being off for awhile. The kids are more than skilled at finding resources of things IMVU would claim to be objectionable on other sites all over the Internet, not to mention what is on IMVU and often talk to each other like drunken sailors, even when their parents are present, who often talk the same way and are perusing similar visual and auditory materials, which are often heard in loud audible clamor as the speakers in such labs are left open, unlike a secured
location that would require headphones to hear anything. Even with no security directly on a computer, sites like Yahoo have a system that times out and requires the password again. The idea that the trivial attempt at age restrictions on IMVU and other sites protects any kids from anything is just plain silly and all such attempts are little more than psychobabble pabulum to retard watchdogs in government who are more than content to do as little as possible while sucking up public funds. In a perfect world, all the "no neck monsters", "money sucking vampires", and "paste of nose dirt eating dips" would play solitary games on standalone computers or at least be restricted to small systems and nets designed for them, thus preventing them from sucking up baud rates and other resources the rest of us are trying to use to conduct legitimate business, but this is not a perfect world. As far as business is concerned, the recent IMVU press release and
comments in the media are a joke. So far, only a couple of paltry attempts to involve users in making a pittance of money appear to be in the works on or related to IMVU. Second Life by Linden Labs is where the real money is. IMVU is like a kiddy pool to play in when compared to the great gulf that is Second Life. IMVU tools are primitive and much more tedious to work with than those in Second Life. Everyone in Second Life has access to development tools. The freebies offered in Second Life are uncountable, to be picked, taken, used, and or thrown away by every user in each session. All manner of free trade is possible and anyone with enough time and resources can make a real living from the money to be made on Second Life for virtual goods and services as well as real world goods and services. The world in Second Life is huge and coherent. Movement is smooth, walking, flying, or using a transport, instead of having to bamph, teleport, blink, gate, or
whatever IMVU calls it to get from one room spot to another within a room and having to select from a menu of rooms due to no outside environment structure existing. Many other advantages exist in Second Life that makes it much easier to work with than IMVU. I do not understand the interest Ice-T has in IMVU, how he profits from it, but I will contact him and Conan O'Brien directly to explain to them how Second Life is better and potentially geometrically far more profitable to use. Everything that is IMVU is technologically antiquated and the faults are unlimited. IMVU has effectively built a glass structure on sinking sand and dares to throw stones.

IMVU will grant each of my accounts named in (1) and (2) the full package of freebies previously offered and still graphically advertised by IMVU, to be download able each time I go 3D, to include the full penthouse, all items, coffee shop, Ferris wheel, sky scraper roof top, white room, emoticons, all of the pets, all of the other scenes, and anything else that was offered in the free starter packages for all female avatars and all items sent by IM just after a new account was made, before IMVU change to what is offered now . . . a much smaller set of avatar items and a really pathetic truncated part of the penthouse with a few items.

(These accounts had very little, if anything, on each web profile beyond the basic "About Me" panel with tag line, the "My Interests" panel filled in, and a link to one of my accounts above in the "My Buddies" panel and/or "Special Someone" panel so there was no reason to disable the accounts in this list. These accounts will not be used as the accounts above but each will maintain re directional pointer links to the accounts named in (1) and (2) in the "Special Someone" panel and/or "My Buddies" panel.)

> If these demands are not met, the following actions in any order, in any combination, to an unlimited magnitude, for an unlimited duration, from an immeasurable pool of talent and resources from across the global Internet will be taken against IMVU to the point that IMVU, in no particular order, is bankrupt, publicly maligned in global media, off the Internet, out of business, banned from all search engines, blocked by all filters, and disassociated from all business contacts. The one day Twitter shut down is just snow flake compared to the avalanche that will bury IMVU out of existence. While IMVU is still functioning, IMVU will be loaded with thousands of accounts linking to and showing unfilterable porn of all kinds including kiddy porn and other materials for everyone to look at with thousands of pointers to each so everyone using IMVU including the little kiddies can get an eye full and an ear full while viruses, worms, spiders, bots and the like
infect computer systems globally with full credit going to IMVI inc.. News agencies will be inundated with reports with file names about the contents to be found on IMVU. IMVU will be investigated by multiple levels and branches of law enforcement and related agencies. The public will witness unlimited negative reports on the news and talk shows about IMVU. IMVU will be disabled by overloads of traffic, spam, viruses, worms, spiders, bots, and anything hackers across the internet can utilize against the IMVU web site and emails. China has professional hackers paid by the Chinese government under mandate to attack web sites in the United States. Islamic extremists globally can be recruited in a moment's notice to siege IMVU over the Internet in the name of Allah. Indians learning computer skills for free in India would be more than willing to take down IMVU as an academic exercise. I could easily hose up and tank IMVU by myself, but I am not greedy and
am more than willing to share the fun with others who will do the same and so on into infinity. The maladies afflicting IMVU will be limitless in maliciousness, creativity, scope, and magnitude. All these things are promised to IMVU and to this point I am not even pissed off yet. IMVU dares not to piss me off. IMVU, such as it is, is really not much use to me so permanently disabling IMVU as an object lesson to those who dare to do business over the Internet while lacking the necessary computer skills to do so while displaying the ever too present obnoxious arrogance common to Corporate America, would be just a fun little child's play exercise. The IMVU URL has a very low Web reputation score for blocking by filters and IMVU is being directly blocked from an ever increasing number of computer systems. Even without any action on my part the future of IMVU is doubtful. A few well placed informative messages in key locations to be continuously spammed and
chain mailed all over the Internet will be more than enough to bring ever geometrically increasing legions upon legions of hackers
against IMVU. IMVU cards for sale in businesses will be recalled as they become worthless and unusable. Businesses that sold cards will be dealing with hoards of irate customers demanding full refunds with the businesses having no way to verify the legitimacy of any claims as to whether the cards were already used in part, in whole, or not. Purchasers and gift recipients of IMVU cards they cannot use or return will learn a lesson never buy in to anything like IMVU ever again. Class action law suits against IMVU will soon follow. IMVU legal expenses will be incalculable. Investors in IMVU will cease contributing to the lost cause that will be IMVU inc.. I will be most amused at the demise of IMVU. IMVU has been warned.
