So I might get sued…
Last updated on August 10th, 2017,
I recently posted a review for North Aware here that was not very complimentary. I wrote the review in a fit of anger and may have repeatedly used the word “scam.” (It certainly feels that way when you return a product and do not receive a refund and then realize numerous other people had the same experiences, but I digress.)
Anyway, long story short, I received a “cease and desist” notice from Jamil Khan, President and CEO of North Aware, demanding that I take down my article or North Aware would sue me for defamation and/or violation of copyright laws.
This is the text of the notice I received:
