Company Visitor: Melissa Data

Speaking of dodgy companies with liquid assets--

In the flotsam and jetsam of recent CIT/KOBEHQ drama, an intriguing visitor has returned to this blog many times from mail.melissadata.com looking for Craig Ranke.




Who is Melissa data?



Company Background
Melissa DATA Corp. was established in 1985 by Raymond Melissa in Orange County, Calif. The company began with a single product based on the practical idea to provide a database of postal ZIP Codes™ on floppy disks for use on a PC. Next was the development of USPS certified mailing software that can save mailers postage and printing costs and help them comply with all USPS regulations for discounted mailings.

Company Structure
Over the past 25 years, a team of programming and technical experts have developed more than 30 products and services, providing the greatest possible value in technology, reliability and cost-effectiveness. The company’s five progressive divisions provide their customers with data hygiene software, databases, developer tools, Web services, list enhancement services, mailing lists, and direct marketing agency services.

The company has developed an international reseller network, a nationally recognized catalog, and a dynamic website that averages over 70,000 unique visitors a day. Melissa DATA was named by DM Review Magazine as a Top 100 Company.

Company Headquarters
Melissa DATA has evolved into a nationally renown corporation with over 100 employees at home in a 30,000 square foot facility in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. Staff at this location includes programming, marketing, sales, technical support, research and development, quality assurance, manufacturing and distribution.


I suppose, to be fair, it may not be the company that's dodgy so much as some employees:

Hmm--didn't see that coming. Looks like Mr. Ranke has been a bad boy on company time. I mean, honestly--letting people repost Killtown's stalking material on his forum, or for that matter, dedicating an entire "hit list" thread--what was he thinking?
