We were completely fooled.
I've left tons of messages and emails to these people, and I never get a response back. I think it would serve these people right if all of us just took our marbles and went home. We were duped by a pump and dump scheme, clear and simple, and the very fact that Mr. Paul Williams refuses to address investor concerns now has me VERY suspicious and not very trusting. These people had a great idea and failed to capitalize. I do hope IKarma is for sale one day. I'd gladly buy it and turn it into the internet magic I know it can become. But we don't need a lot of people hiding now, refusing to answer questions, and such. That is just WRONG and I'm very angry at how we have been treated.

I'm still here too.
It's actually funny. I didn't honestly pay anything for this stock. I rec'd free shares from a company called TravelZoo in 1998 or so, and managed to get up to 12 shares of it, then cashed it in earlier this year. I'd had a mind to find the next big internet stock, and IKMA really seems to have an interesting business model. I believe this company is just starting out, and I think a lot of people are going to be pleasantly surprised in short order.
What has been missing, and is a crying need in today's society, is undoubtedly customer service. If anyone ever wondered why our own economy in America has showed some slidings, hey, blame the waitress who dropped your spoon, or the mechanic who screwed you out of $500 on a brake job, or the clothes salesman at a dept. store who refused to get off the phone to help you.
People are starting to take notice of HOW they are treated again. I think I-Karma can steer people to the people that will treat them the best.
That isn't just an internet gold-mine, THAT is a godsend.

sTAG0Omm, I just wonder what the total amount of shares there are of this company out there. I'm green on stocks, but I'm thinking if the stock can drop 7% on a volume of 2200, this company must be really tiny; and how does a company have zero trading volume for a whole day? I get the feeling its just me and you bro. Since you're the moderator, you can be President, and I'll be VP. I'm still not bailing though. Even if it tanks completely, I'll know that I invested in a company whose concept I strongly believe in.

Moms in Business Names iKarma as Association's Latest "Word of Mom" Tool
JUPITER, FL, May 25, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Moms In Business Network(TM) (MIBN), the leading association for working mothers, has named iKarma.com (PINKSHEETS: IKMA) as its latest resource partner to develop greater "Word of Mom" marketing tools for its members.
According to the association, there are 82.5 million mothers in the United States, over 60 million of them work outside the home, and all collectively control 80% of U.S. household spending totaling $1.6 Trillion annually. Gina Robison-Billups, the president of Moms In Business Network, states, "Mothers influence everything we do... from what we wear, to what we eat, to what we drive. Because of their influence and purchasing power, moms are one of the most powerful economic forces in the world."
With all this economic power, it's not surprising that moms are also seen as one of the greatest influencers in word of mouth marketing. According to the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA), the likelihood of moms telling others of a positive business experience or enjoyable product is 90-95%. In addition to that, busy working mothers rely heavily on the recommendations of other busy moms when investigating products and services to buy.
MIBN has been looking for programs that could facilitate greater "Word of Mom" marketing and found iKarma. MIBN and iKarma know that good "word of mouth" trumps every other form of advertising, but the power of "word of mom" marketing surpasses the revenue generating potential of traditional "word of mouth" marketing. Combining "Word of Mom" marketing with iKarma's technology brings this marketing form to another level.
iKarma's online reputation management system, takes a testimonial and verifies it, stores it, makes it portable and makes it easy to collect and use. iKarma takes positive word of mouth and puts it into a form that business people can use to build their business.
MIBN Members receive the additional benefit of having the MIBN logo on their iKarma page to brand them as a "mom-centric" business.
Multilingual members of MIBN will also benefit from the ability to use any language on their iKarma profiles. This feature, along with iKarma's plans to release full international versions of its service, will enhance the ability of MIBN members to bring their business to the international marketplace.
Simple, easy and instant set up of the iKarma web page also plays nicely into the busy lives of business owning moms.
About Moms In Business Network(TM)
Moms in Business Network(TM) and its sister association, the International Association of Working Mothers(TM), are the only national associations representing the interests of nearly 60 million working mothers nationwide and millions more around the world. They are headquartered in Las Vegas, NV.

I particularly enjoyed listening about iKarma soon bringing out their own API, an application programming interface, which will allow other business sites to essentially use iKarma's philosophy of a reputation management system on their own websites, to create an effective viral marketing system.
If you think about it, customer service has really gone by the boards here in the Untied States at least. It's refreshing to see that some businesses are starting to understand that if a customer is happy with you, they will come to you first. You see testimonials on websites all the time, and that is really what attracts me first to businesses or products: What have other people said about it?
I believe that as the economy gets more uncertain, people are going to start being a lot more careful whom they deal with.

Say Hello to iKarma.com
JUPITER, FLORIDA--May 3, 2006 -- iKarma Selects PhoneConfirm.com for Enhanced Identity Verification. iKarma Inc. (OTC: IKMA), has selected identity verification services from Across Communications Inc., to integrate with iKarma.com. As a leading provider of reputation management services, iKarma will benefit by adding an additional layer of identity verification to its online service.
Consumers have shown that they're willing to pay premium prices to do business with reputable service providers. What every business needs to capture this business is a trusted and credible way to showcase their good reputation. With this additional layer of identity verification, iKarma offers a real solution for any business no matter how large or small.
"We selected the PhoneConfirm.com solution from Across Communications after a nine month search", says Paul Williams, iKarma's CEO. "We found that credit based identity solutions required too much personal disclosure, and anonymous key based solutions weren't practical for our service industry user base. PhoneConfirm.com provides a quick and easy solution that works in over 200 countries, so it fits well with our plans for international expansion."
This service will provide iKarma with an automated, real-time, 24x7, global link a verified phone number during the sign-up process for each new iKarma profile or review. This optimizes the ability of iKarma to stop multiple accounts, spam-related reviews, repeat sign-ups and fake or harassing profiles. "We expect that PhoneConfirm.com will also enable iKarma to decrease legal, social and system costs while increasing online security, credibility and trust", says Scott Pitchford, President of iKarma.
"Because PhoneConfirm.com requires a simple correct response to an automated phone call, this service is far less intrusive than asking for credit-card information, but less easily faked than an anonymous email or street address", said Vadim Mazo, CEO, of PhoneConfirm.com. "It is not easy to constantly create new phone numbers that can be instantaneously verified during each profile sign-up. PhoneConfirm.com enables the verification of phone numbers that can then be tracked and "flagged" when associated with fraud, predatory behavior, scammers or spammers."
