"An operation that spammed millions of consumers with graphic sexual descriptions to drive traffic to their Web sites to 'date lonely housewives' has been halted by the court at the request of the Federal Trade Commission. US District Court Judge Amy St Eve has ordered a temporary halt to the spamming and has frozen the assets of the outfit, pending a hearing on the FTC's request for a preliminary and permanent injunction for violations of federal law," says the FTC.
(The complaint doesn't mean the defendants are guilty: that can only be decided in court.)
Comment: The spamming scumbags behind this sort of operation are not going to get any sympathy, of course, but you have to wonder about the stupidity of Internet users, who paid around $700,000 for access to the phony "lonely housewife" Web sites.
