|
|
A recent decision in a lawsuit filed against a Florida credit counseling company offers a promising road map to follow for suing spammers.
After receiving at least nine unsolicited e-mail messages offering credit counseling services, Washington state resident Joseph Hylkema did more than just consign the spam to his junk mail folder: he decided to get even.
An investigation of the sender traced the source back to a business called The Credit Counseling Foundation in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Hylkema, a Slashdot reader who once had an e-mail address at the aptly named Suespammers.org, filed a lawsuit in Washington claiming that Credit Counseling was spamming in violation of two state laws, and obtained a default judgment when the company never showed up to defend itself.
