One of world's top 10 spammers held in Seattle

Feds say computer users will notice decrease in junk e-mail following arrest

SEATTLE - A 27-year-old man described as one of the worlds most prolific spammers was arrested Wednesday, and federal authorities said computer users across the Web could notice a decrease in the amount of junk e-mail.

Robert Alan Soloway is accused of using networks of compromised zombie computers to send out millions upon millions of spam e-mails.


Hes one of the top 10 spammers in the world, said Tim Cranton, a Microsoft Corp. lawyer who is senior director of the companys Worldwide Internet Safety Programs. Hes a huge problem for our customers. This is a very good day.

I think once a spammer like that is caught, part of the punnishment should be surgical removal of all their fingers . . . or a simple removal with an axe . . . either one will work.

Once they are free again, if they decide to go back to spamming, typing with a stick in their mouth will be frustrating enough that they may stop it for good.

I wonder if spammers complain about getting other spam? My cousin use to be married to a gal that worked for a telemarketing company. She would constantly talk about how rude and mean people were to her on the phone. Shortly after she quit that job, she was then complaining about the telemarketers calling their house during dinner time. We all just looked at each other and shook our heads.

No, she wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I just called a client in Arizona, his wife answered and said he was busy right now, when I identified myself she said oh, wait just a minute I'll go get him. She definately must have thought I was one of "those" people.

Spammers don't effect me, just like junk mail, it's all discarded in the trash!! Whether it's the real trash or virtual trash.

I just tell them to hang on a minute then put the phone down till they get the hint...
