Verizon Sues Alleged Cell Phone Spammer
Bob Sullivan writes in MSNBC News:
"U just Won", the cell phone text message reads, according to Verizon Wireless. "You just won a cruise to the Bahamas." It then tells the recipient to call a toll-free number, apparently to claim the prize.
But the messages are spam, Verizon says, and it is suing to stop them.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, Verizon alleges that nearly 100,000 copies of the spam messages have been sent by Florida-based Passport Holidays. Verizon is asking the court for an injunction to stop the firm from sending the messages, and is seeking financial compensation for damages.
