It's about time! FINED for spamming your cell phone! YES!
A car sales website based in Melbourne has become the first Australian company fined for spamming mobile phones, after authorities found it had sent unwanted SMS text messages to phone numbers taken from newspaper classified ads.
The carsales.com.au website was given a AU $6500 fine by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) for sending unsolicited commercial SMS messages in breach of the 2003 Spam Act, following complaints from the general public.
According to an ACA spokesperson, this is the first time an Australian company has been fined for sending spam messages to mobile phones.
