U.S. makes first arrest for spim

"Anthony Greco, 18, was lured from New York to Los Angeles under the pretence of a business meeting. He was arrested upon arrival at Los Angeles International Airport last Wednesday.

Greco allegedly sent 1.5 million messages advertising pornography and mortgages. According to reports, the recipients of the messages were all members of the MySpace.com online networking service. "

Heh stupid bastard, I hate comercial spammers. What a load of sell-outs. They should had stuck to the pure good hearted spamming of forums and chat rooms

I'm so sick of MySpace

All those wannabe teen punk bands and slutty girls deserve it.

Valve have started off a new trend.

Valve have started off a new trend.

I know I get 100 instant messages from them a day...

We need some kind of vigilante group out there that will firebomb the homes of spam makers. Or atleast publish their address, phone numbers, and email so they can get a taste of their own medicine.

myspace is full of GAWTHICS!

and lots of people who've had it worse than you, whatever "it" is.

Amen to that, its so stupid, live a life in the real world not on the goddamn computer.

 

[<RJMC>]

so that pop ups are made by hackers?

 

[bliink]

anywhere that refers to pictures as "pix" deserves what it gets, i say.

I signed up for myspace because all the cool kids were doing it and all I ever got out of it was an instant message from some lovely young scantily clad ladies who wanted me to view their webcam. Since I didn't want to appear rude I of course accepted their request and after entering my credit card details... oh wait, that's not good.

I hate spam, I mean, no body buys from spam, it all gets delete.

Hope he has fun with Gary "nighttime toucher" Johnson and Nick "the grip" Williams in jail (well, hopefully he is wearing boots of escaping).

I agree. /me hides his myspace account

honestly though, that site does have its uses(I've acquainted with many people I am now friends with at my school), but it is still the spawn of satan himself(I ****ing hate teenagers) I've relearned how shallow everyone at my school, except for like a few people I know, is.

 

[Chris D]

I hope he's the bastard that keeps doing it to our IRC channel.

Those guys are starting to piss me off.

w00t ive never gotten any spam in my email

 

[VirusType2]

"hey! I'm glad I got this spam!"

reaklly?? hmm whats your email adress
no seriously how do you do it?
I have all kinds of spam in my box.

Its terrible that its free for them to send unwanted mail to everyone in the world that they can.

I wish spam would **** off and die. It serves no purpose but to annoy and waste time. Has anyone had soem crazy shit in thier mailbox and said, "hey! I'm glad I got this spam!" NOT LIKELY

DONT READ THE REST UNLESS YOU ARE BORED AS I AM.
It's going to get to the point where we have to keep our email firewall so tight that it's going to be a pain in the ass, and eventually they will figure a method so that people you want to have your email .... incorporated into the OS. for example I sign up for Halflife2.net and they send me confirmation mail, but I have to click a button or something for you to even send it, even though... nevermind, let the smart guys figure it out. LMAO

 

[Fat Tony!]

I don't get spam because Im super! I have no junk mail filter, I just don't give out my email to pr0n sites.

 

[Druckles]

lolers

Get gmail... I have loads of invites so tell me if u want one

 

[Bad^Hat]

I've relearned how shallow everyone at my school, except for like a few people I know, is.

Are. How shallow they are.

 

[Quixoticism]

Acutally it is "is"
"I've relearned how shallow everyone at my school* is"
* =, except for like a few people I know,

And people, teenagers are not bad!.. .... ........at least I'm not.
It's all those punk wanna-goth-be losers who don't care about life or what they could do if they put some effort into it.

 

[Bad^Hat]

No, you're a poopoohead.

A decen spam filtering system can really help. I get very little spam thanks to thunderbird.

Good to see the spammers getting put away for it though. Trouble is, I suspect they will be like wasps, for every one you kill, 2 more show up

I'm glad such police methods are not allowed here...
