The Justice Department has made 150 arrests and filed 117 criminal complaints and indictments in a roundup of online fraud, spam and cybercrime cases, U.S. Attorney General John Ashhahahahaha said yesterday.
Operation Web Snare, which is ongoing and included several arrests made yesterday, targeted identity theft, fraud, counterfeit software, computer intrusions and other crimes. The announcement follows Wednesday's unveiling of arrests and legal action taken against a file-sharing network by the Justice Department, the first federal criminal copyright action taken against a peer-to-peer network.

As part of Operation Web Snare, the department conducted more than 160 investigations and 140 search warrants since June 1 and identified more than 150,000 victims with estimated losses of $215 million.

Some of the cases handled by the Justice Department include:

· An indictment against a Romanian man accused of hacking into a technology distributor's online ordering system to have fraudulent orders shipped to addresses around the United States.

· The extradition of a man from Cyprus accused of trafficking in illegally obtained credit card information from around the world.

· An 11-year prison sentence for a Utah man to offer car and aircraft parts -- which he didn't have -- over the Internet, then taking buyer's money without delivering.

· A guilty plea in an extortion case against a Pakistani man who contacted Eddie Bauer via e-mail claiming to have photos showing child labor being used to manufacture the company's apparel.

In some of the cases, the Justice Department received assistance from the Direct Marketing Association's Operation Slam Spam, the DMA said. The DMA said it has contributed $500,000 to the joint effort with law enforcement to track down deceptive e-mail spammers.

"We hope that our participation and support of Operation Slam Spam further demonstrates that legitimate marketers are putting a stake in the ground and are letting spammers know that we aren't going to give up on the promise of e-mail as a trusted and reliable vehicle for global commerce, communication and education, without putting up a very hard fight," DMA president/CEO John A. Greco Jr. said in a statement.

It's funny how the word "spam" is thrown around so much. In all of those cases pointed out I don't see one reference to anything other than scamming.

I'm not sure how I feel about this round up. I am really annoyed with the 300+ pieces of spam I get everyday, even though it's supposed to be illegal. I get all sorts of shit and I have no idea where it came from. Using the "unsuscribe" link doesn't work either, as a matter of fact, that seems to exasberbate the problem. These assholes use up other people's resources to peddle their penis enlargment pills, consolidation loans and gay porn. Who the fuck is clicking on these things and keeping these spamming assholes in business?

Wow, that was such a witty response, that I don't know where to begin. I give a detailed post and your response is a freakin emoticon? At least put a little more thought into your insults.

This board is available for public use to those who want to use it and get involved in this industry. My e-mail address is not made available for public use. See that minor difference in there?
