• Class 035 — Advertising and business services: TakenAdvantageOf;com (aka "TAO") exists to provide resources to individuals, who have been taken advantage of by a wrongdoer and, as a result, have suffered a financial or emotional hardship; TAO's goal is to help the victim rebuild his or her life and empower him or her throughout a difficult transition; TAO will try to intervene so that a victim is not put in a position of having to file for bankruptcy or welfare; TAO will strive to provide a lifeline for these victims, so they are no longer swimming in a pool of sharks, alone, while trying to fight for financial or emotional survival; It is a brutal world at times; When strife occurs, TAO provides victims with a clearinghouse of sources from the local civic and business communities in hopes of establishing a strong unified front to fight against these wrongdoers; In doing so, TAO will be able to protect future victims better - "Together, we are stronger!" TAO seeks to educate the public that it is not only the victim who suffers, but also those they love as well as the public at large; When someone files for welfare, unemployment or bankruptcy as a result of the acts of a scandalous company, a scam artist, an ex-spouse, neighbor or other close wrongdoer, all of society bears the cost; Wrongdoers affect us all directly or indirectly; TAO intends to spread the message that we are onto the wrongdoers of the world and that we intend to prevent further damage to innocent victims; TAO will accomplish its goals by educating individuals on how to identify wrongdoers, how to deal with wrongdoers; how to avoid wrongdoers; and how to escape wrongdoers; TAO does this by providing links to professionals dedicated to assisting people in need including attorneys, psychologists, hotlines, grouporganizations such as Al-Anon, Better Business Bureau, and employment agencies; In pursuing theseobjectives, TAO also wants to convey a strong message to victims to let them know they are not alone and that they have rights!! "Together We Are Stronger!" Vision Statement No woman, no man, will ever feel powerless from a "wrong doer" again; In decades to come, our services will not be needed because our goal is to reach out to as many people as we can, in order to empower them with the resources and knowledge to know the difference between a predator and someone who is sincere
