'Timeshare Spammer' Set to Plead Guilty

An AP newswire article by Greg Bluestein, via Yahoo! News:

A man known as "The Timeshare Spammer" said Thursday he will plead guilty to one count of violating anti-spam laws, marking one of the first prosecutions using the federal statute on e-mail.

Peter Moshou, 37, of Auburndale, Fla., could face up to three years in prison for violating the federal CAN-SPAM Act. Prosecutors say Moshou sent millions of unsolicited commercial e-mails using Atlanta-based EarthLink's network.

The messages, sent throughout 2004 and 2005, were about brokerage services for people interested in selling their timeshares.
