NYTIMES: Spam Arrests
 

"Federal and state law enforcement agencies have quietly arrested or charged dozens of people with crimes related to junk e-mail, identity theft and other online scams in recent weeks, according to several people involved in the actions."

End of the article..."Next year and the year after,'' he said, "we are going to see Russia as the main spam problem.''

Oops here the link

not good not good at all

that is just the begining so you'd better vote for kerry

Here's the clincher... lots of guys turning in their friends to be able to skip jail.

"Indeed, federal and state prosecutors have arrested some people whose names they will not reveal at the news conference this week because the suspects are leading them to others involved in spam and other crimes, officials said."

Some people here are going to be taking long vacations.

Russians are ready :1orglaugh

same with China and some south Pacific islands.:2 cents:

no wonder why USA sucks so much

I love how junk email is lumped in with identity theft and other such scams...

it keeps the spamhaus pussies happy, scares off some of the idiot spammers who are clueless anyways and makes for good headlines in an election year...

Fuck spammers.

Just like whenever I hear porn mentioned in the mainstream theres also a referance to CP.

Woah, lets not get ahead of ourselves... you are in Canada skippy.

Not that I advocate spam or anything.. I just believe that its not the government's job to fix or regulate. The reason why the internet is such a huge land of oppertunity for average people today is because none of us had to get a licence to set up a website. This is just getting one step closer to that reality. In a couple years you guys who have gambling sponsers might get arrested.. who knows.
