Finally justice.

Spammer gets 9 year sentence

I hope he gets some Oz-style treatment.

Nothing like the sweet sweet smell of justice.

Not long enough. The prosecution was asking for 15 years.

[Adeez]

But long enough to probably deter him from doing it again i would think.

I just can't belive that there are enough people that read spam and buy stuff from it to make it a proffitable. I mean, how many people buy 'enhancement' pills off of the internet, from an e-mail that they got?

From what I've read, at least 1 in 10 internet users respond to spam mails. (sorry I don't the link to that article. It was on the BBC"s site weeks ago). I can't believe people can be so gullible. A pill to make my dick bigger? That sounds like a high-quality product! Free gifts? Allllllllllllllll-riggggght (as said by Quagmire on the Family Guy)

People that stupid sometimes deserve to lose their money. I read this thing in my local paper last year about a guy who fell for the Nigeria Scam. The twist was that it was an altered version of it (names, locations changed, etc.). He'd heard about the Nigeria Scam, yet he still fell for it!
