turetzsr Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hi, All, ...Thought this might interest many of you: Technology - Reuters: U.S. Hits Four with Criminal Anti-spam Charges. ...Go, FTC!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 ROCK ON! And I have a friend who forwards all his LARTs to FTC.gov and just the other day he was bemoaning the fact it didn't do any good. He was wrong! "Consumers forwarded 490,000 of the company's e-mails to the FTC since January, the consumer-protection agency said." Ya, its just a drop in the bucket. The bucket is getting bigger. But I'll take every drop I can get. It would be nice if the FTC put those seized assets back into the spam-fighting community but they will probably spend it all fighting these guy's shyster lawyer for the next 5 years.

dra007 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Goood stuff...whew, what a relief... my post way back! I hope my contribution made a difference... I love this line, I hope the low life spammers read it: spammers determined to keep spamming illegally, as the arrests of Daniel Lin, James Lin and the other spammers announced today show, and on which Spamhaus heartily congratulates the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Then they'll change from doing it illegally, for which the FTC might go get them, to legally, for which the FTC can not go after them! ...Fortunately, there is Pinned: Spammer Rules #3!
