Spooz, Inc. (OTC:SPZI) applauds the actions of the SEC, Texas
Attorney General and the Harris County District Attorney�s office
for indictments of fraudulent email spammers to whom Spooz had
fallen prey in 2005. As part of the company�s financing in 2005,
recently indicted Darrel Uselton acquired free trading shares of
Spooz, Inc. and launched a spam email campaign to pump the stock.
The spam email campaign was perpetrated without the knowledge or
consent of Spooz, Inc. �Spooz does not participate in nor condone
spam email for any purpose,� stated Darryl Dennis, CMO of Spooz.
�We are happy to see that the SEC is addressing this type of
fraudulent activity perpetrated against small public companies and
their investors. We are glad to know the Useltons won�t be harming
other unsuspecting companies and their investors.� As part of the
investigation into the Uselton spam campaign in July 2006, the SEC
subpoenaed documentation from affected companies, including Spooz.
Spooz notified both the SEC and the Department of Justice when
Spooz learned of the spam campaign and provided complete and
thorough documentation of the incident to the SEC including
communications from Spooz to Darryl Uselton demanding that he
immediately cease and desist from any and all email investor
campaigns if, in fact, he was involved in such activities. �During
our history we have been approached by dozens of Investor Relations
firms inviting us to participate in email campaigns,� said Paul
Strickland, Spooz, Inc.�s CEO. �Due to established policy, we have
steadfastly resisted such tactics because we believe them to be
unprofessional, damaging and manipulative. Spooz adopts policies
that generally only exist in far larger public companies because
that is where we are headed. Spooz will never compromise its
principals and professionalism to artificially increase its share
price.� After four years in development, Spooz is preparing to
launch its flag-ship financial software SpoozToolz to a growing
list of waiting customers. The company has had no further contact
with the SEC regarding the Uselton matter and does not anticipate
any further effect on Spooz moving forward with its transition to
sales of its products. About Spooz, Inc. Spooz, Inc., (OTC:SPZI)
