ListGuy.com Is Featured On Fox News And Others After Selling A Mailing List Of "Households With Children" To Sneaky Portland Reporter

Posing as "from the office of Ward Weaver" ListGuy.com (www.listguy.com) was approached in Feb 2004 by Nicole Doll of Portland, OR for a mailing list of "households with a presence of children". It turns out that Ward Weaver was awaiting trial in Portland at the time for murdering 2 Oregon City girls, and Nicole Doll is a reporter for KGW in Portland.

(PRWEB) August 3, 2004 -- Posing as "from the office of Ward Weaver Inc", ListGuy.com (http://www.listguy.com) was approached in Feb 2004 by Nicole Doll of Portland, OR for "a list of residences with children".

Ms Doll gave the ListGuy sales rep 7 zip codes for the Oregon City area - with the request for a mailing list of children 5 through 14 years old. They received an email text file with the names of the head of the household and the mailing address. There were no childrens names or ages sent.

It turns out that Ward Weaver was on trial in Portland at the time for murdering 2 Oregon girls, and Nicole Doll is a reporter for KGW in Portland.

Evidently the purpose of this exercise by the KGW reporter was to highlight some people's desire for legislation making it illegal to market to families with children without their permission.

The List Guy wanted to know if Ward Weaver found his victims with the use of a mailing list? The answer is no! Or have any crimes against children ever had the victim "sourced" with a traditional mailing list? Not that anyone has ever heard!

This story has been carried on television in Portland, Seattle, San Diego and Fox Cable News national in New York.

All members of ListGuy.com staff are parents, and concerned about the safety of all children. The List Guy would like to commend and encourage the work of www.PervertedJustice.com A recent sting operation sponsored by them "saw men arrive - and run - at a rate of nearly one every hour" when invited over to what they thought was a 13 year old home-alone teenage girl. Also www.predator-hunter.com can help those who want to "get involved with keeping our children safe".

ListGuy.com further encourages the FBI to expand the work of New England FBI supervisor Joe Dooley of the cyber crime task force based in New Haven, CT. This group conducts sting operations designed to take active child threats off the streets.
