Seconded.  They were blocked two weeks ago on my many numbers after I filed
a complaint with the FTC here in the US...quite a fall from grace indeed.

This is a one off message and I will not reply to any public posts. But
it's gotten to the point that I am quite angry by the underhanded sales
tactics by a company that I once considered reputable.

I have available discounted SSL certificates via a small reseller account
with SRSPlus.  I get a very good price via this service on Thawte's ssl
certs.

Comodo sales droids are now calling my customers to offer them discounted
SSL certificate renewals.  However they are quoting them retail prices.  I
am paying well under posted retail prices and generally sell them to my
customers at about 50% of what Comodo is claiming to be a discounted price.

Comodo is cold calling business owners that have no idea what a SSL cert
is for a website and trying to sell them something they know nothing
about.  My customers contact me for their website needs and I take it from
there.  I bill them after I pay for the cert via my resellers discount
program.

Enough.  Just fair warning to rest of this list about this practice from
Comodo.  End of subject from me.
