Myspace suing spammers for $20 million

There is lots of buzz coming out of the affiliate summit today about Myspace going after 50 spammers for the tune of $20,000,000 dollars. Myspace scammers beware!

 

Oh wow, 20M, seems kinda harsh to me...

 

omg spammers spam because they dont have money to advertise...god knows what they are gonna get out of this

 

I warned people about this. I know someone who has been sued and they will get you for pounding their system. Their new TOS as of last year makes sure you will pay through your nose for years to come. They also went after him for some things that can result in jail time on top of fines.

MySpace Spammers Beware

 

Great, this is good news, get the spammers that are using other peoples accounts.

 

Any lists that show which companies are being sued?

 

If a suit has been filed, the information is public and should be available somewhere.

 

I'm gonna assume probably the 10 big affiliate networks, because most of them had stuff all over myspace.

Myspace won't win much, there's no evidence.

 

I am glad because I have a myspace site for promoting one of my sites and in a single day I had 439 pages of comments left by spammers. I have gotten to where I cannot even use my site.

 

You're just as bad as them, using myspace to promote your site.

 

Lol, you're cracking me up! Good one.

 

He could be using it for a community for his site or as a medium of some sort...doesn't mean he's taking his MySpace page to the extent of spamming

 

Spammers leave trails all over the place. There certainly isn't a lack of evidence. The FBI takes this sort of stuff serious when large companies are involved and pushing justice to be done.

 

No kidding, all you have to do is look where the links lead.

 

Lol your joking right? Do you know how much was being made from myspace bulletin spam?

 

ahhh, no wonder SNF is DOA!

but hold up...I heard Scott was a "High volume email deployer" not a spammer!!!

 

Good, Myspace finally cracks down on these spammers. I cant stand them. When 75% of my friend requests and messages are not real, i get pissed. I report every spam message i get, to ensure that they get deleted. I bet these guys cost myspace $20 million in bandwidth costs, so i think its fair game. If any of you guys are myspace spammers, please stop. Its very annoying and it almost makes me want to hack your site. As you can tell I am very passionate about this issue.

 

They aint going after people, they are going after affiliate networks.

I saw the list and what i found shocking was azoogle is on it. along with maxbounty


Cpa Empire is being hit the hardest for 75million or it may have been 7.5mil

because Scott Richter did it himself and he owns Cpa Empire the third biggest spammer in the world. But will they win I have no idea.

 

yeah thats what hes doing

 

its 75 lowest amount is 20
