Spammer Sues SpamCop

Posted by michael on from the truth-hurts dept.

wolfgang writes "Just wanted to send you word that notorious spammer Scott Richter, President of Email marketing firm OptinRealBig.com, has filed suit against Ironport, which runs anti-spam site Spamcop. According to Richter, Spamcop's initiatives have damaged the reputation of his company. Richter filed for $1 million in damages. A similar suit one year ago, filed by Eddy Marin and his Florida-based Emarketersamerica.org against Spamhaus, was thrown out of court last October." We've mentioned Richter before.

    So what would be his mailing address... :) Just in case someone would want to send him a letter.

    Diclaimer: I'm just kidding, no one on slashdot would participate in such a thing. Don't blame me.

    What reputation? this is a spammer, they're reputation is dirt. Their mailing aren't even at the quality of mail order marketing, they email trashy adverts for utter garbage like penis enlargement scams.

    What reputation? He's a fucking spammer!

    Spammers don't need other people to wreck their reputation; they lost it when they became spammers.
