AOL Gives Away Spammer's Porsche

Ahhh, revenge is SWEET!

Last week, AOL announced it had confiscated a Porsche Boxster S convertible as part of a settlement with a spammer who made more that $1 million from sending unwanted junk e-mail. The company launched a sweepstakes for the car on March 30 as " a gesture of support and thanks" to its members for their help in the fight against spam.

Damn, that guy made a million sending spam? Maybe I should become evil and start doing that, I could use the money but....I dont need a lawsuit, I just cant win.

They should give the car to ATS all us memmbers get spam i bet and if we add all of it together we can take it from aol , but in all reality thats cool lol just making money buy sending emails but aol stops it for a reason i guess.

Publish the name ,mailing address,e-mail address(es) and phone number(s) of the spammers and let us all spam them for awhile.

He did, but if he had to pay for sending his mail he wouldn't have made 20% of what he did. Guys like him cost the rest of us, soon we will have to pay for email. Hopefully we will have some sort of quota included with our regular fees. Bad thing is whenever there's a revenue stream it's easy for the government to add a tax. Like our phone & cable bills don't have enough taxes already.
