[semi-non-op] 9netave junk fax

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)

I gather than 9netave, a web hosting company in New Jersey, sent out
last week large numbers of junk faxes to numbers scraped from WHOIS. I
certainly got one, even though my listing says "NO FAX ADS $500 PENALTY".

As you probably know, junk faxes are both unethical and illegal. You can sue
for up to $1500 per junk fax under 47 USC 227. A friend and I are trying to
put together a group suit to encourage them not to try steal customers that
way. If you got one of these and still have it, please email either me or
Ray Everett-Church, ray@everett.org.

Hola,

certainly got one, even though my listing says "NO FAX ADS $500 PENALTY".

Very interesting, but prolly not appropriate for NANOG. Let's move this
discussion to a forum with a greater tolerance for threads of a
[non-operational/off-topic] nature, such as inet-access...
