Today William T. Carson has been sued for allegedly sending thousands of SPAM. This comes as another welcomed lawsuit against spammers for me. This lawsuit was filed by Massachusetts attorney general, and "is believed to be the first brought by a state under the federal CAN-SPAM".
A Florida man is being sued by the Massachusetts attorney general"s office for allegedly sending thousands of unsolicited commercial spam e-mail messages to consumers across the country. Sarah Nathan, a spokesperson for Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas Reilly, says the case is believed to be the first brought by a state under the federal CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing) Act, which went into effect on January 1.
The civil complaint, filed last week in Suffolk County Superior Court, names William T. Carson of Weston, Florida, as the proprietor of DC Enterprises. The firm allegedly sent thousands of spam messages to consumers without providing ways for them to opt out of getting future e-mails. A hearing has been set for July 21 before a Suffolk Superior Court judge, at which time Reilly"s office will seek a court order to stop DC Enterprises from sending more commercial e-mails. A phone message left at a Weston, Florida, number believed to be Carson"s wasn"t immediately returned.
