California Sues Spammer for $2 Million

Posted by timothy on from the hit-hit-hit dept.

KilroyTheVeg writes "The Mercury News reports that the California Attorney General, Bill Lockyer, filed suit against Internet marketer PW Marketing LLC, accusing the company of illegally spamming millions of Californians. The Story is here and the Sidney Morning Herald also has the story here. The suit named PW Marketing LLC (note:subpoena in link is third one down the page) and its owners Paul Willis and Claudia Griffins defendants in the suit which seeks "at least" $US2 million from them for allegedly flouting several state consumer protection laws banning spam mail. All I can say is Make 'em pay, it's the only way to hurt 'em where it counts." Update: 09/30 22:02 GMT by T : Note, that's Sydney Morning Herald.

    Someone needs to get all the information they can on Paul Willis and Claudia Griffins. Get their phone number, addresses, information on their family and kids, etc. Then exploit the hell out of this.

    Of course it would be a shame if someone beat the shit out of them too...hehehe.
