Received an email today from a longstanding customer who is using Comcast as his ISP. Today he tried to access www.mjtnet.com and received this message:

WARNING!
This site is rated potentially unsafe by TrustWatch!

You have been redirected to this page as a service of Comcast High-Speed Internet, which includes the Comcast Toolbar. TrustWatch, a critically acclaimed, industry-leading website verification service, has restricted access to the site www.mjtnet.com for your protection. Accessing this site could put you at risk for identity theft or other financial fraud.

What the!? Identity theft? Financial fraud? Where ON EARTH do they get that idea? Who do these people think they are?

So I googled TrustWatch and found their website. I clicked on their About Trustwatch page to find a phone number. I figured I’d give them a call. I did. I got this recorded message:

The number you have dialed has been disconnected

Doesn’t exactly engender trust, does it, TrustWatch?

Update: I tried emailing them via the email address listed on their site - info@trustwatch.com - and it bounced saying an SMTP connection could not be established.

Update 2: Seems someone else had a similar experience trying to contact TrustWatch
