I've heard some people here have balls to face issues and call a spade a spade so here's your shot to show what you're made of. Let's see if anyone here has what it takes to get some answers.
It has become evident that sponsors or billing companies have given our private information to Acacia, or someone who consults Acacia.
Instead of complaining and pointing fingers.. get answers of your own!
Copy the email below and send it to all of your sponsors and billing companies. Those who do good business will answer your email. Those that don’t might have something to hide.
Our sponsors and billing companies are our friends and business partners… this email is not adversarial.. it’s an open communication so you know the parameters that the companies you do business work within.

Dear (fill in the blank)
Due to recent concerns regarding Acacia and the leaking of private information I need answers to each of the following questions as soon as possible:
1) In the terms of our contract are you allowed to give my personal information to a third party?
2) Have you given my personal information to a third party in any way, ever? If so, when?
3) If you have given my personal information to a third party why? Who did you give it to?
4) If you have given my personal information to a third party I request contact information for the third party.
5) Have you asked Acacia if they are using your customer list?
I value your business and enjoy working with you. Thank you for your help.
Best Regards ~

I think it’s important for each of you to have official answers from each of your sponsors and billing companies on what is happening with your private information. If you ever do go to court, you can use the responses from these entities in the discovery process.
I would suggest not doing business with companies that do not respond to this email. Their silence on GFY and other boards has been deafening. This email should help peg those still hiding under a rock. Good luck and post your responses in this thread so we all know who is sending responses and who is remaining silent.
