Judge Orders End to Weight Loss Spam Organization
A U.S. judge has ordered a Las Vegas company to stop sending spam promoting it's weight-loss and anti-aging products. The judge also fined Sili Neutraceuticals nearly $6.2 million dollars for violating the CAN-SPAM Act and the FTC Act. Judge David Coar said the company violated the FTC act by claiming that users of their hoodia products would lose 40 pounds a month, and that using Human growth hormonelinks would reverse aging. The FTC claims the spam they sent had fake subject lines, no opt out instructions, and no valid postal address for the company. The defendants had no comment on the ruling.
