Exposing BLACK HATS
Unethical Immoral Illegal
Ever watch the old-time western movies? You can always tell the good guys from the bad guys by what color hat they wore. On the internet and in real life, it's not always so easy to tell who's honest and trustworthy from the ones who are full of "IT". As we evaluate online and real life businesses and business people, we put the facts here for you to see and make your own opinions. White Hats are the most ethical, legal, moral and do the best business. Gray Hats might straddle the line on a few things, but for the most part behave themselves in a satisfactory manner. The Black Hats are the ones you need to know about. These bad guys will take your money, your dignity and the shirt off your back if you're not careful. If you see your name or your business name here and would like to respond, feel free. Chances are, we already tried to contact you, but we're still interested in hearing what you have to say.

Ernesto Haberli aka Eduardo Warren
Web Listings Inc sends a letter through the US Postal Service to domain owners, prompting them to pay for submission to search engines and a quarterly ranking report. The envelope has no postmark and the business does not stand up well to scrutiny.
Ernesto Haberli aka Eduardo Warren is a lifestyle offender. He is on every major spam watch list and has been sued and pursued for unethical and even allegedly illegal business practices. Some internet sites may not point to him right off the bat, but a little digging and the bones in the closet begin to fall out.
