TO

WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Im writing this letter in support of the Extortion Letter Info forums and specifically Matthew Chan. In 2011 I briefly shared a poem entitled The Dash on a blog. The author of the poem, Linda Ellis demanded that I pay her $7500 via an email. To make a long story short, Linda Ellis has run havoc on my personal and professional life, and specifically my online accounts. The list of acts and attacks is long. I consider Linda Ellis deceptive, unethical, and irresponsible and a bully. Matthew Chan and the Extortion Letter forums (ELI) are instrumental in exposing the practice of copyright trolling and the people and companies that scour the Internet looking for copyrighted content. ELI is vital to exposing this horrific abuse of a loophole in the copyright law. As an example, once The Dash poem is discovered in an unauthorized post (simply shared with friends, families and associates) Linda Ellis and John W. Jolin begin a long and high pressure letter writing campaign that may or may not include the unethical and unlawful practice of filing false DMCA notices, multiple letters to an employer, letters to clients, and Google ads defaming the offender. Ellis and Jolin use a variety of scare tactics and misrepresentations to collect all devises outlawed by bill collectors. Extortionletterinfo.com is the only resource that specifically supports victims of the Linda Ellis scheme for extracting money with her aggressive and intimidating letter writing campaign. Victims document these actions on the ELI forum. This information is an essential resource for attorneys and individuals who wish to prepare a defense. Members share satire, legal documents, analysis and first hand accounts of the intimidating tactics John W. Jolin and Linda Ellis initiate. These public disclosures monitor and memorialize the extortion activity and help members prepare for and respond too the attacks to their online accounts and other entities. I applaud Matthew Chan and the members of ELI for their honesty, diligence and professionalism. The Eli community is transparent, truthful and investigative and shining a very bright light on this injustice. Sincerely, April Brown, CEO Charity Auction World
