AOL goes after Florida spammers
AOL said Wednesday that is has filed civil suits against four individuals based in the U.S state of Florida who are suspected of sending considerable amounts of spam e-mail to its customers.
[blockquote]According to Dulles, Va.-based AOL, the Florida defendants teamed up with parties in Thailand to barrage AOL members with more than 35 million spam messages over the course of several years. The company said it first became aware of the group in January 2003 via a wave of 1.5 million user complaints and immediately launched an investigation into the spammer's operations. The scheme reportedly involved an onslaught of e-mail messages loaded with hypertext links advertising low-mortgage rate offers for AOL members.
