Lonely Housewives Searching For… Money To Pay The FTC Following Spam Fine
from the no-fraud? dept
The latest set of fines coming out of the FTC for spammers includes a $400,000 fine for a spamming operation about “lonely housewives.” The FTC noted that the spam messages violated almost every part of CAN SPAM: “misleading headers, deceptive subject lines, did not contain a valid physical postal address and did not disclose that the e-mail was sexually explicit.” One would have to guess that there weren’t actually lonely housewives involved either, which would suggest false advertising — but perhaps that goes without saying.

Re: Too busy
Too busy thinking about them lonely housewives eh?
Knock! Knock!
Ms. Sheridan, at the FCC, we feel that you and your friends aren’t quite “desparate” enough, and have decided that the title of your series is misleading, deceptive, does not contain a valid physical postal address, and does not disclose that your T.V. show is sexually explicit. Fork over the money, baby!
Nice post
Lonely housewives
Dear FTC
They’re still sending the spam. You need to punish them more harshly. $400,000 was a slap on the wrist.
