Note the "company responsible" for the ad. This is not spammer or the server that sent the spam, it is company whose product is being advertised. The vast majority of the offshore spam advertises products of companies doing business in the USA. This means that when a spam advertising an American Mortgage company originates from a server in Russia and passes through an unathorized relay in Korea, it is still the American Mortgage company that must pay the fine.

BTW: A $10 fine will not stop spam. The fine needs to be payable to the receiver of the spam and must be worth the receivers effort to sue. That, in my mind, would be a minimum of $500.

right ... I'm saying for the amount sent ... like a spammer that sends a million emails for Viagra ...

or, individual payments of $500 would work too ... the companies simply will not take the risk ... they will stop immediately ... make it unprofitable ... one fell swoop and 50-60% of all U.S.-based apam will stop like that ...

I support CIA and Special Ops teams to take out foreign spammers ... LOL
