I've not found such a link, complaints to abuse seem to go to a black hole, and the spammy crap from them (they hit me 2 to 4x a day) has caused me to setup a filter recipe that sends them to a "spam" folder, to be inspected as sa-learn -spam runs in the middle of the night and deletes them when it has learned about them. All the fake training resources & so-called seminars they offer, are related to stuff that will change with the next exploit that breaks, and likely would be a total waste for any IP departments money that was worth keeping on the payroll.
