   MySpace Sues ‘Spam King’

   Social-networking behemoth claims it’s the victim of a phishing scam.   
      
   MySpace.com, News Corp.'s social-networking web site, sued Sanford   
   Wallace, who became known as the King of Spam in the 1990s, for setting   
   up dummy profiles to direct MySpace users to web sites such   
   Real-vegas-sins.com.   
      
      
      
   Wallace created 11,000 fake profiles using automated software programs   
   in violation of MySpace's terms of use agreement, the company said in a   
   complaint filed March 23 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.   
   MySpace's complaint, which seeks unspecified damages, accuses Wallace of   
   violating the 2003 U.S. Can-Spam Act that regulates the use of   
   unsolicited e-mail.   
      
      
      
   Wallace was one of the largest senders of unwanted e-mail solicitations   
   known as “spam” in the 1990s. He headed Cyber Promotions, which sent   
   millions of junk e-mails daily to consumers, earning Wallace the   
   nicknames “Spam King” and “Spamford.” The Federal Trade Commission sued   
   him in 2004 for infecting personal computers with spyware that flooded   
   users with unwanted advertisements.
