Prosecutors said Jaynes, 30, and DeGroot, 28, who live in the Raleigh, N.C., area, used the Internet to peddle sham products and services such as a ?FedEx refund processor.?

The refund processor supposedly allowed people to earn $75 an hour for working from home. In one month alone, Jaynes received 10,000 credit card orders, each for $39.95, for the processor.

?This is a snake oil salesman in a new format,? said state prosecutor Samuel E. Fishel IV.

Wow.

after convicting them of three counts each of sending e-mails with fraudulent and untraceable routing information.

Tastes like spam to me. Mmmm cooked spam. 🙂
 
9 years seems like a lot, rapists can get less than that. I say fine the crap out of them, and maybe serve some limited time.

I say fine of $100 per email address that they sent and minimum 3yrs prison.

Oh, give them a break. In the true American spirit, make it $99.99. 😉

I agree. Spam is annoying, but think about actual VIOLENT crimes. I'd much rather jail space be used for those people.

~$400,000 from 10,000 idiots. they deserve to go to jail for life, and the 10,000 idiots deserve to get a refund and a letter telling them they are banned from the internet.

Screw that, the 10000 idiots shouldn't get their money back. It should be donated to a charitable cause... namely me 🙂
