    US spammer fined £75k for porn sting

    A US company has been fined £75,000 for spamming punters with porn emails that led to users racking up whopping phone bills.

    The spam sent by New York-based BW Telecom contained peak-rate dialler software which disconnected users from their ISP before reconnecting them to a service that charged them £1.50 a minute for Net access.
