From the BBC:
Internet giant AOL has ratcheted up the war against unsolicited e-mail with a publicity-grabbing coup - an online raffle of a spammer's seized Porsche.
AOL won the car - a $47,000 Boxster S - as part of a court settlement against an unnamed e-mailer last year.
"We'll take cars, houses, boats - whatever we can find and get a hold of," said AOL's Randall Boe.
According to Mr Boe, the Porsche's previous owner made more than $1m by sending junk e-mail.
I don't like AOL's services, but I can't argue with their methods in this instance. Looking at my Outlook spam folder I see that I've received 3,016 spam emails today. That's over three thousand useless advertisements for penis enlargement, financial assistance and other crap that I didn't even look at.
I don't feel one bit sorry for these spammers.
Go get 'em AOL.
