Maybe not.  I've seen numerous such posts from, I guess, several people,
originating from several places.  One idea is to tell the company they
are advertizing for how the persons have discredited them and to kindly ask
that they put this and that referral number (my guess is that the names
are fake) on their black list.  If we're lucky, they might even sue them.

I'd very much like to hear a statement for the Magazine Club on how they
handle such obvious violations of netiquette (hopefully some laws as well?).
They're the ones having their name disgraced.
