AlumniArchive.net appears to be yet another cut in the Classmates.com mold, e-mailing unsuspecting people to join their site where (surprise!), you can't view any details until you give them your credit card and pay up. They create a domain for your school without asking, presenting themselves as if the are the official site; "Home of the Panthers" in our case. They're also selling class clothing, some of which I'm fairly sure violates copyrights (My school, being the "Friday Night Lights" school has numerous protections in place that many schools do not). There's a chance they're working on your class too.

I wrote to ask them to stop presenting themselves as our class site last night and within minutes, I got this reply which speaks volumes:

Quote:

Yes, they are the fake class website because they have no connection with us and we do not want them contacting us, even though they took on the domain of permianalumni.com. I looked them up on the Better Business Bureau and they currently have an unusual rating of "F". RipOffReport has one entry too.

I won't be replying, but I will warn my class and have turned them in to the school district.

Wow... Now that's Customer Service for ya... I think I'll leave it at that, thanks Tom.
