Subject: You Have Been Cheated By Your Korean Car Dealer! You Have Plenty of Lemon Law Rights!

QUOTE
Dear Owners of Korean-Made Cars,

You have been cheated by your Korean car dealers who at time of purchase overstated engine horse power and other specifications of your cars.

You, therefore, have plenty of lemon law rights for which dealers, agents, distributors, lenders and manufacturers are fully responsible. Your vehicles are part of LEMON LAUNDERING SCHEME whereby each of you is entitled to US$ 1,000,000 in punitive damages.
For free legal consultation, you may contact: rnadler@worldjustice.com .
You may also register your complaint with BigClassAction at: www.bigclassaction.com/automotive.html
Also, please do consult with The Consumer Law Center, a leading lemon law rights defense firm, at: www.consumerlawcenter.net . It is a free service. Contact details: info@consumerlawcenter.net .

View Hyundai-Kia statement, the first Korean automakers to ever admit
to overstating engine horse power at: http://hyundaistatus.com/horsePowerOverview.asp

This statement, however, is full of lies to rip you off your rights.
For details, please visit the website: http://boycott.korean.cars.tripod.com

Random, Back at the TSR boards someone posted a link in the forums that had a cookie or something that aloud the page to get emails. Ive received this email probably 5 or 6 times in a years time. There was actually a big post back at the TSR boads about that email and who got it.

If you launder lemons, do you get lemonade, an unholy mess on your clean clothes, or *******s like these?

I got a copy of that too. Since I don't live in the US and of course there is no way they have my name and e-mail from any hyundai dealer or anything like it (my vin doesen't belog to the US market), I suspect they got it from:
TeamSR
SharkRacing
HyundaiAftermarket
Hyundaiusa.com
So, I do think too that they are getting e-mails somehow without consent.
