Aleged Perth spammer sent 56 million emails, court told
A Perth company accused of sending millions of spam emails around the world is continuing to send bulk unsolicited electronic mail, the federal court has heard.
A federal court judge today began hearing landmark legal action by Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) against Clarity1 Pty Ltd and its sole director Wayne Robert Mansfield.
Clarity1, which also trades as Business Seminars Australia and Maverick Partnership, is accused of sending at least 56 million unsolicited commercial emails in the 12 months after the Spam Act 2003 came into force in April 2004.
Justice Robert Nicholson issued an interim injunction last August ordering Clarity1 not to send out unsolicited email in breach of the act pending resolution of the case.
