Executive Summary
This concept is real easy for us to convey to our users,
WE NEVER SPAM, ... EVER ... End of story.
Our Formal Spam Policy
HAVeESP, Inc, GreatestSOURCE.com and any of their “GREATeSTWebPages™" prohibits the
use of our name(s) or services to be used in any manner associated with the transmission,
distribution or delivery of any unsolicited bulk or unsolicited commercial e-mail ("Spam"). You
may not use, or infer the use our companies, sites, domains or services to send spam or any
other form of communication transmission to anyone at any time. Their are no exceptions.
It is our policy to vigorously enforce our rights through any legal means possible against any
party who fraudulently uses, attempts to use, or infers the use or relationship of any of our
business names, domains, companies, trademarks, service marks or otherwise in any way in
sending spam or any other communication to any party, through any means.
WE DO NOT SEND OR CONDONE SPAM in any form, through any means from us or through
any third party !
We have not, do not, and will not send spam !
Web subscriptions, "E-zines" and other "bulk e-mailings" that are sent to a “known” user that
are solicited by that user recipient in a subscription type or “receiver requested” manner, are
not considered “spam” by us or the industry at large. This is a policy or practice that we do
not oppose as long as the recipient clearly knows the source, can respond to such in some
form and can request to “un-subscribe” or otherwise control the receipt of such e-mails.
If you think you have received spam from any of our owned sites, names or companies, we
can assure you that it is not from us. Please read the following on how an unrelated sender
can make you believe you have received spam from a HAVeESP, Inc. owned company,
partner, site or domain.
How Spammers Can Deceive You
Many "spammers" routinely try to deceive or trick the recipient into assuming that a different
party has sent the offending e-mail. Spammers can hide their identity through many means.
One method is by "spoofing." Spoofing is where a different e-mail address than their own is
used in the "from" line of the spam e-mail. One possible method of tracking the actual origin of
the e-mail is by going to "View" then "Options" in Microsoft™ Outlook™ and reading the
"Internet Headers." Although not absolute, you may be able trace the actual origin of the spam
this way.
Spammers also use a method called "URL switching" to hide their identity. This method
requires significant technical knowledge to determine the actual source of the spam.

Third Party Spam
Although it is not our practice to knowingly link to, or accept advertising from sites we deem
unacceptable for any reason including privacy or spam practices, we are not, and cannot be
responsible for the privacy, spam, content or other practices & policies of any third party sites,
affiliates, participants or any others who participate in various programs or links displayed on
our site.
Dealing With Spam
Please, before you accuse or "report" us, or any other party for that matter, of spamming,
please be sure to verify your suspicions before taking any action that might in itself be harmful
to us or any innocent parties. It could impact you greatly.
CONTACT US FIRST before taking any action on your own. To report spam you think we sent
or should know about please contact us at SpamAbuse[at]greatestsource.com. Please send,
forward or attach the spam. See below note on our e-mail address for spam*
If you do contact other parties and wrongly accuse us of having sent you spam, those false
accusations are potentially harmful to us, our sites, our partners and our business. If this is
done recklessly, or without any type of reasonable investigation by you, we may deem such
false accusations as constituting unlawful business libel.
We are absolutely opposed to spam and understand any receiver’s frustrations but we
cannot, and will not, tolerate false accusations about our business practices. Instead, we
welcome your sincere inquiries and will do our best to resolve any question or complaint we
receive. Again, please send us by attachment or by forwarding any offending spam you may
receive that appears to come from or in any way relate or refer us..
As a courtesy to you, and if we can, we will try to show you how the spam was sent from a
party not associated with us. If it appears that you have wrongly accused us of having sent
Spam, we expect you to contact anyone with whom you may have shared that false accusation
so that you may retract those statements.
It is our policy to vigorously enforce our rights through any legal means against any party who
uses, attempts to use or infers the use our business names, domains, companies,
trademarks, service marks or otherwise in sending spam to any party through any means.
We work very hard at gaining and maintaining our user trust, confidence and security. We try
our best to be a 100% family friendly site. User trust is paramount to our business model. In
that regard, we must, and will also vigorously enforce our rights against any party who
recklessly or falsely accuses, slanders or libels us through wrongful accusation(s) to any third
party(ies) involving our company, sites or business practices.
How to Find out Who Sent an Unsolicited E-mail
The law limits the information that online service providers (ISPs) can disclose about their
users. However, if you've been "spammed" by someone you don't know, and want to know
who sent it, do not reply to the sender nor follow any removal instructions that might
be included. Instead, complain to the sender's ISP.
Every e-mail must be sent from a server. The vast majority of server administrators are
responsible and do not intentionally allow their resources to be used for spamming. ISPs
typically have policies prohibiting spamming through their accounts. Once they are notified
that a user has been abusing an account, many ISPs will shut down the offender.
How do you find out whom to contact? Look at the domain. This is the part after the "@" sign
in an email address or the last part of the server name in a URL. Do not include anything after
the "extension" (the .com - .net - .org - .biz etc.) For example, the URL of http://www.anything.
here.mainname.com/and/anyotherstuff.html has a domain of "mainname.com."
Remember, many spam sender's addresses are hidden or otherwise blocked and some are
outright false or used illegally without the actual owner's knowledge or permission. However,
the "full e-mail header" should contain an Internet Protocol (IP) address that corresponds to
the sender's Internet Service Provider (ISP). (Follow your e-mail provider's instructions on
accessing the "Full Header" to see a message's sender information.) It should look something
like this:
Received: from [123.456.78.91] by . . .
The number in brackets above is the "IP" or Internet protocol address. Once you have
identified the IP address, you can run a search to determine which ISP provides the sending
entity with its Internet access.
One web site that can help you determine the actual computer owner that uses the IP address:
http://www.arin.net/whois/index.html
Once you know the ISP or the domain (for example, "thedomain.com"), email the entire
message (including full headers) to the ISP (in most cases to abuse@thedomain.com). Explain
your situation. The ISP may have further requirements, but this is the person or entity you
need to contact.
Summary
Again, we are against spamming and NEVER engage in this practice. Spammers can use
fictitious domains, links and/or redirecting characters in the 'reply to' section of an offending e-
mail to try deceive people on the origin of the e-mail.
Because HAVeESP owns almost 10,000 highly relevant domain names, we are more likely to
be the unwary victim of unauthorized abuse or out and out fraud. Please let us know ASAP.
We can assure you that any spam you receive is not from us or any of our owned or operated
sites or domains. We do not spam, PERIOD!
Avoiding Spam
To try do avoid spam, although becoming more difficult, you should never give your e-mail
address to anyone, in any form, including hand written on cards or reader replies, unless you
trust that party and they clearly publish, and you have read and understand, their privacy and
spam policies.
If you do not recognize the sender of any e-mail, delete it unopened. Many spammers use
“tracers” to verify that the e-mail address exists. If you opened it, you verified it.
Avoid shopping at or using unknown sites and/or sites that do not have clearly published
privacy and/or spam policies.
In addition to the spam issues, viruses, worms and Trojan horses can also be embedded in e-
mails, be careful.
For more information, see
http://spam.abuse.net/userhelp/
If you have received an e-mail or spam that you think we should know about, please send it to
us at spamabuse[at]greatestsource.com.*
* Do these e-mail addresses look funny? They are, and will not work as written
above. As we said, we never spam but we cannot say that about all web users.
YOU MUST Replace [at] with @ to make the address valid.
We apologize for the minor inconvenience but we do this to reduce spam generated
by email harvesters who look at web pages electronically for the "@" symbol and
sell addresses for spam.

are other people with you that you know and trust !!!!!
BE WARY of products, deals, services, investments and "opportunities" that seem
"Too Good To Be True" ... ALMOST ALL ARE !!!
EVERY SINGLE Herb, Drug, Medicine, Painkiller, Supplement, Vitamin or similar items have
specific uses and ALL have potential dangers and drawbacks. If not taken under the advice
of your physician or other health care provider, or if not taken properly, these items can kill
