Texsox Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 By DERRILL HOLLY Associated Press Writer STERLING, Va. - Two North Carolina men face up to 20 years in prison for allegedly operating one of the most prolific spamming operations in the world. Jeremy Jaynes - who uses the aliases of Jeremy James and Gaven Stubberfield - and Richard Rutowski each face "four felony counts of transmission of unsolicited bulk electronic mail," Virginia Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore said Thursday. The indictments, returned Monday by a grand jury in Loudoun County, Va., were based on Virginia's antispam law which took effect July 1. Kilgore's office launched its investigation into what he described as a massive spamming operation that used the America Online computer network which is headquartered in the county.

SuperSteve Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I hate those f***ers. I used to get so much junk when I was on AOL. I used to have a name, but I hadn't gone on in sometime cause I am at school, and there was over 500 new emails, so we deleted the name cause it woulda been a pain in the ass.

Texsox Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 Spamming is a crime? Damn Be Good is a fugative now:lol: As soon as I read a guy on the East coast was arrested, I thought of BeGood The US post office must be licking their chops hoping for effective bans on spam. It's the bulk mailers that keep all our 1st Class rates low. When the bulk guys send you 6 pieces of mail, they just paid the post office a dollor or so to go to your house, and they target almost everyone.

Queen Prawn Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 anyone else use hotmail and havent received junk mail ever since reading about this? coincidence? I've been getting plenty. Delete, delete, delete. The only difference is all of it has been porn rather than a combo of porn, mortgage offers, credit card offers, make your penis bigger offers, make your tits bigger offers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
