25 Spammers Given Fines for First Time
South Korea's Fair Trade Commission (FTC), after an investigation tracking
down 179 spammers, has levied fines ranging between 1 million and 7 million
won ($850 to $6,000) against 25 spammers for violating the E-Commerce
Consumer Protection Law. 4M COmputer, a private education institute for
computer design and e-commerce, received the heaviest fine since it
continued to spam consumers even after they opted out of further e-mails.
Two pornography sites were also fined 7 million won for violating marking
rules and deceptive advertising. The FTC received spam complaints for
investigation through its www.nospam.go.kr website. FTC director-general
Son In-ok declared the Commission's dedication to pursuing disruptive
spammers and to strengthening penalties against spammers.
