		<description>Everyone, 
Are you all going to complain or are you going to DO SOMETHING?
Yaari&#039;s practices are not just unethical they are ILLEGAL.
They contravene the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act. 
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.shtm

1) Go to the FTC page http://www.ftc.gov/spam/
2) Click on &quot;File a Complaint&quot; (on the left column).
It&#039;s a bit slow so be patient.
3) Click on &quot;FTC Complaint Assistant&quot; (On the right)
4) Is your complaint concerning identity theft - NO (hit next)
5) Dissatisfaction with other Business Practices (hit next)
6) Select &quot;Internet&quot; and &quot;Other Internet Practices&quot; (hit next)
7) I have a complaint about my options (or lack of) for protecthing my privacy online. (you can also select option 1 if you have children in your email list).  (hit next).
8) Do you know the name of the company (Yes) (hit next)
For the company details enter www.yaari.com. You can use Prerna@yaari.com for the email. (Just put zero dollars).
For Step 5, I put the following in the additional info
&quot;This company is a social networking site. They contacted me by sending an invitation that impersonated the email identity of someone known to me. After signing up on their site http://www.yaari.com I found out that they take all of the addresses from my email address book and send invitation emails to each contact that claim to be from me. I believe that this practice contravenes the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act.&quot;

-- Please don&#039;t just grumble. Make a difference: File a complaint with the FTC.

		<description>yaari.com is a SCAM and I hope Feds comes and shut it down.  Looking at her business practices, I am now sure that they do not teach business ethics at Stanford.</description>

		<description>Prerna seems to have missed the second part of your first question.  Let me list a few -

yaari.com is built using e-mail addresses stolen from unsuspecting customers.  Then they spam them till they get tired and sign up and during the sign up process they steal more e-mail addresses.  How long do you think this business model can continue ?

If you have any doubts about the popularity of yaari.com, do a google search with yaari.com and scam as key words and you will know how popular they are.  It is only a matter of time before this is shut down.</description>
