Big Time Bogus Pill Spammer Stopped
from the one-down...-plenty-to-go dept
The FTC is happily announcing the fact that a federal court has shut down one of the big-time Florida pill spammers, Creaghan A. Harry. He's listed in Spamhaus' register of known spammers (though, as Harry Creaghan - which Spamhaus says is his real name even if he insists on reversing it). A federal judged has barred him from sending any more spam, and frozen his assets (which just so happen to be in Latvia). Of course, it remains to be seen if this actually does anything to slow down spam. Still, it's a start.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
