As far as I can see Gary is just dumb, but not to entirely to blame.
Fxstyle claim their list is opt-in (238 million opt-ins? LOL, he should
have realised), which your experience would disprove.=20

Notice how FX's site is slow as ****, I wouldn't be surprised if some
one isn't already having revenge.

Lo all,

I've just been spammed by [EMAIL REMOVED] to a mail address that
is so
very NOT on any mailing lists. Foolishly, this plank links to his
website in
his quality spam, where there's a contact number.

Imagine his surprise when I called and expressed my love for the spam
just
received.

He quickly stated that the email address was obtained from a company
called
www.fxstyle.net, who unfortunately don't have a contact number.

My question is: Gary spammed me from a UK company (for web design
services,
doh!), is Gary liable for anything apart from abuse?

Suggested options for giving Gary what he deserves?

/me hates dumb spammers based in the UK who have a telephone number
handy...

TIA,

iain
