Tired of Spam? Make spammers pay!
The courts will work for you.
If you are fed up with increasing amounts of Spam email in your
mailbox then make a legal claim now and make the spammers pay for
their actions. There have been cases both in England and Scotland
under the UK implementation of the European Anti-spam laws. The
courts are sensitive to putting right these misdemeanors and the small
claims procedures are ideally suited for individuals to take low cost
legal action.
This site tries to give you an idea of how to make a
claim and what others have achieved. We are also trying to encourage ISPs and email providers to
join us in taking a socially responsible approach by working together
to help end users take legal action to drive spammers from the UK by
using existing laws. Ask your ISP if they are taking the
responsible approach and working with us!
