Well known in anti-spam circles and occupying the number two spot for worst spammers in the world by the Spamhaus ROKSO, (Register of Known Spam Operations), Kobeni Solutions, or Yair Shalev & Kobeni Inc. were found guilty in a spam lawsuit brought by the FTC. The Federal Trade Commission imposed a fine of $350,000 on Kobeni Solutions in settlement of a spam operation involving the Affordable Care Act, even though they have not admitted or denied guilt.
The Spamhaus Register of Known Spam Operations has been keeping an eye on Yair Shalev and Kobeni Solutions for a while. Kobeni Solutions is considered as the second most active spammer in the world. Yair Shalev apparently partnered with another well-known spammer named Darrin Wohl. He is also the son-in-law of Dan Abramovich, another spammer monitored by the ROKSO.
The charges brought against the defendants in January included violation of the FTC Act by deceptively spreading false information about legal deadlines, as well as a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act for not allowing recipients the option to opt-out and failing to display a valid postal address in the emails. Although it is not entirely clear how the amount of $350,000 was reached, the original suit sought restitution, disgorgement of ill-gotten monies, and other equitable relief.
The FTC fined Kobeni Solutions $350K as a restitution of ill-gotten money. The company did not admit or deny guilt. The IP addresses used by Yair Shalev are currently on the ROKSO block list.
In January, the defendants were charged as being in violation of FTC regulations, due to the spread of misleading information regarding legal deadlines. Recipients were misled that not clicking the included link, would lead to being in violation of Affordable Care Act regulations. With resulting legal consequences.
