Just saw on Fox News (fair and balanced) that a group of spammers based in Florida have just been grabbed by the FBI. Apparently its the first time they have used the Can Spam act to do this. Anyone heard anything about this ?

It reminds me of that old Western Show on TV waaay back "Alias Smith and Jones"

when they used to say

"One thing we gotta get."
"Whats That?""
"Out of this business"

I'm sooooo glad we did :)

The €3000 fine was in the EU - not the US... 2 very different legal systems :)

So it would seem that anyone wanting to do sleazy shit on the net should set up their operation in the EU. its better for the bank account :blink:
