    Just got an e-mail discussing "hybrid battery problems" and solutions. Allegedly from "elearnaid". But the links don't go to "elearnaid". I didn't go to them, and I don't think you should either. I went directly to "elearnaid.com" to see what was what.

    All together now, "scam scam scam scam..." (to the tune of Spam...).

    I use a company called vertical response to handle my newsletters. They keep track of the links so they probably go through them. So the fact that the links do directly to elearnaid.com does not mean it is Scam.
    Vertical response also handles for me all ask off so you will not get another newsletter from us if you request off the list.

    When you send out emails you always get some ask off first and it is nice not to have to handle them.

    I also get a few customer who thank me for sending my newsletter as I try to include at least one informative article with every newsletter. One told me he likes them so much he keeps every email I send and wiched I would send more.

    Best,

    Bernie

    Elearnaid has on their website 12-volt batteries for hybrid cars. Not much else really.

    They offer a lot of books and dictionaries which seems to be their major area.

    I switched to OOMA from AT&T POTS on the 12th. The week prior to that, I had received over 70 junk calls. OOMA uses Nomorobo and in the 2.5 weeks since, I've received one, yes, one junk call. Talk about life changing. We keep wondering if the phone is working, so I call it from my cell to test. :rolleyes::D I use "shouldIanswer" free app on my cell. Love it also.

    It's pretty amazing. I wish we'd had this back during the primaries and elections. More to come so it will be a good test.

    I recall elearnaid coming up in early PriusChat times, for 12 volt batteries. Scam@1 seems only distantly related.

    they are probably better than optima, which has had its troubles over the years.
