Microsoft apologises to UK 'spammer'

Spinner

Microsoft has issued an apology to a British man it had accused of sending out huge quantities of 'spam' emails.

The software giant issued an "unreserved apology" to Simon Grainger from Merseyside, whom it had served with a writ, accusing him of stealing e-mail addresses of its customers to send them spam.

Mr Grainger was one of 15 people targeted by the company in a high-profile attack against the rising tide of junk email.

But Microsoft has now, two months later, admitted it was a case of mistaken identity.
