FTC Declares Can-Spam a Success
TheSixth1 writes "ZDNet is reporting that the FTC announced in a recent report to Congress [PDF Warning] that the Can-Spam act is 'effective in providing protection for consumers.' The report boasts that the substantive provisions of the Act have mandated adoption of a number of commercial email "best practices" that many legitimate online marketers are now following. Second, the Act has provided law enforcement agencies and ISPs with an additional tool to use when bringing suit against spammers. The more than 50 cases brought to date by the FTC, the Department of Justice, state Attorneys General, and ISPs demonstrate CAN-SPAM's enforcement efficacy."

Members of Congress:
I am Mrs. Branson, a wife of embattled President of war torn
Liberia, Mr. Branson. My husband just stepped down as President
of Liberia some months ago, but matters were not helped when UN
Special War Crimes Court for Sierra Leone indicted my husband
for war crimes in June last year, demanding his prosecution.
Currently I and my husband have been granted asylum in Nigeria,
but I relocated my two sons immediately in July 2003 to Sao Tome
(a small oil rich island off the coast of West Africa).
Early last year, he entrusted some large quantities of diamonds
to me. He told me if anything happened to him, I should use it
to take care of myself. Fearing its detection due to the volume,
my son (Williams) traveled to South-Africa with the diamonds...
