Court Hits 'Spam' Envelope-Stuffing Scam
Court Hits 'Spam' Envelope-Stuffing Scam

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. court has temporarily shut down an operation that used "spam" e-mail to drum up customers for a fraudulent work-at-home scheme, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday.

Gregory Bryant and Nadira Bryant of Florida promised recipients of their unsolicited e-mail that they would earn $4 for each envelope they stuffed and mailed as long as they paid $24.77 for a start-up kit, the FTC said.
