New York Attorney General Announces Arrest Of “Buffalo Spammer”
On May 14, New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer announced the arrest of Howard Carmack, an e-mail marketer known as the “Buffalo Spammer”, on misdemeanor and felony charges arising from his alleged scheme to send hundreds of millions of forged e-mails from accounts opened using stolen identities. As New York has not enacted specific anti-spam legislation, the attorney general charged Carmack under New York's recently enacted identity theft statute. The Buffalo Spammer prosecution is the attorney general's first under the identity theft statute, but it is not the office's first action against a spammer. In January, a Manhattan Supreme Court Justice issued a permanent injunction against MonsterHut Inc. based on the attorney general's suit charging fraudulent, deceptive and illegal practices under New York's consumer protection laws.
