Finally Caught a Spammer

This should go a long ways towards cleaning out that inbox, eh? Billions of spam emails have plagued computer users for YEARS, and now, in 2007, 17+ years after the Internet came online, we proudly announce we have caught out first ever spammer! Alright.

Unfortunately for him, since he's the only one we've caught, he'll have to serve 101 years in prison to make up for all the other spammers we haven't caught yet, but don't worry; more arrests will come. Let's check back with this story in 2024 and see if we have nabbed perpetrator #2 by then.

"Forty-five year old Jeffery Goodin was found guilty of running a running scam that fooled users into giving out personal information. E-mails that Goodin sent out made users believe that they were cooperating with a legitimate business when in fact they were not."
