Kobeni Solutions Fined In Affordable Care Act Spam Lawsuit
One of the world's biggest spammer was recently fined an impressive sum of $350K by the Federal Trade Commission under the CAN-SPAM Act. Yair Shalev was fined for sending spam related to the Affordable Care Act. Yair Shalev is a well-known spammer who relies on the snowshoe method to reach out to a wide number of email addresses without getting caught. This method consists in using several domain names and IP addresses to send out spam. Yair Shalev and his company Kobeni Solutions sent spam related to the Affordable Care Act using over a hundred IP addresses.
The Spamhaus Register of Known Spam Operations has been keeping an eye on Yair Shalev and Kobeni Solutions for a while. Kobeni Solutions is considered as the second most active spammer in the world. Yair Shalev apparently partnered with another well-known spammer named Darrin Wohl. He is also the son-in-law of Dan Abramovich, another spammer monitored by the ROKSO.
The charges brought against the defendants in January included violation of the FTC Act by deceptively spreading false information about legal deadlines, as well as a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act for not allowing recipients the option to opt-out and failing to display a valid postal address in the emails. Although it is not entirely clear how the amount of $350,000 was reached, the original suit sought restitution, disgorgement of ill-gotten monies, and other equitable relief.
