Janice: I did call, and was told by a field agent after a search of their computer that he was not wanted for anything.

I asked if there was a problem in "posting" this info, and was told to go ahead.

btw..for a kind of a sad laugh..it just goes to show that people just can't seem to get things right even when they are trying to do the right thing.

Feds spam investors by mistake
1:27 p.m. ET (1827 GMT) October 30, 1998
WASHINGTON — Individuals who e-mailed a state securities regulatory group about possible Internet securities fraud received scores and scores of "thank you'' e-mail responses by accident, the group said on Friday.
Earlier this month the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) created an e-mail address (www.cyberfraud+nasaa.org) where people could tip them off to suspected online securities fraud.
Since then, nearly one thousand messages have come back warning of unsolicited e-mail, commonly known as "spam.'' Most of the warnings concerned the touting of cheaply priced securities of small companies, known as microcaps.
NASAA acknowledged the tips via e-mail but a software glitch resulted in some cases of multiple "thank you'' responses being sent to individuals. "In other words, investors who forwarded suspicious spam to (NASAA) ended up getting spammed themselves, by regulators,'' a NASAA statement said.
Recipients fired back responses like "Stop spamming me'' and "Fix thyself,'' NASAA said.
The glitch was fixed on Friday morning and a NASAA spokesman apologized.
