Under Attack, Spammer Begs For Mercy

["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

Brian McWilliams writes on the Spam Kings blog:

A follow up to my recent post about a controversial campaign to pollute a mortgage spammer's sites with bogus orders:

Darren Brothers reports that Alex Polyakov, the target of his Kick a Spammer in the Nuts Daily retaliatory campaign, 
has cried uncle.

Brothers says he got a call early this morning from Polyakov.

[...] an excited Polyakov complains that Brothers' "Refi Retaliator" program is "killing my business."

"How much money do I have to pay you? Surely we can work out something together!" says Polyakov.
