Verizon Wireless Sues I-VEST over Spam

Cellular-News reports that Verizon Wireless has filed a lawsuit against Nevada-based I-VEST Global Corporation, as well as various "John Does," over wireless spam they've been sending to Verizon Wireless customers.

"The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Trenton, N.J., alleges that beginning in April 2007, I-VEST attempted to send more than 12 million text messageslinks to handsets belonging to Verizon Wireless subscribers, offering information about buying stocks or real estate," the article states. "However, spam filtering and network monitoring actions taken by Verizon Wireless prevented the vast majority of the messages from getting through to subscribers' handsets and resulted in fewer than 5,000 messages being delivered."

"While in this case, we were able to block most of the messages from reaching our customers' handsets, even one unwanted text message is one too many," says Steven E. Zipperstein, Verizon Wireless vice president and general counsel. "Verizon Wireless is committed to using our legal and technical resources to the fullest extent on behalf of our customers to uncover and stop the companies and individuals that engage in wireless spam."
