Kahn Gauthier Swick is investigating possible legal actions against email marketers who send unsolicited email in violation of the newly-enacted federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM Act). The act requires unsolicited commercial e-mail messages to be labeled and to include opt-out instructions and the sender's physical address. It prohibits the use of deceptive subject lines and false headers in such messages. Violators may get stiff civil fines and even get prison sentences as criminals. If you have received email that you think may be prohibited by the act and would like a consultation, please forward all information to Kahn Gauthier, including a copy of the spam email. If you ever receive unsolicited faxes, you should know that federal law may allow you to receive as much as $1500 per fax sent to you. Two related class actions have been filed against numerous companies that send unsolicited faxes on behalf of Californians who allege that the unsolicited junk faxes were sent in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
