Anthony Greco of Cheektowaga, New York, was arrested last week and charged with violating the CAN-SPAM Act after allegedly sending 1.5 million messages offering mortgage refinancing and pornography to MySpace.com users last fall.
The Register reports that Greco allegedly threatened more where that came from if MySpace.com didn’t hire him as a consultant. He flew to Los Angeles “hoping to granted ‘exclusive’ rights to send commercial e-mail to users of the MySpace.com only to be arrested by officers from the US Secret Service and the Los Angeles Police Department after he stepped off the plane.”
