You're missing the point. The mailings are deceptive, not lies, but they do attempt to deceive those who do not feel the need to read every word of a mailing. Either way I'm sick of Verisign's advertising campaigns tactics, obnoxious popups, deceptive emails.. all from the company that believes they create trust on the internet.
