Tragic End for Family of Spammer

Just a few months ago Edward Davidson was sentenced to 21 months in prison for spamming internet users all over the world. Davidson was considered the “spam king” by many and earned his nickname because he was primarily responsible for flooding millions of email inboxes with spam messages every single day. Anyone with an email address was susceptible to his spamming – online casino gamblers to those participating in ecommerce. Sadly though Davidson escaped prison with the help of his wife and then apparently shot and killed members of his family, including his wife and child.

The police department have not confirmed any of the details in the case except for the fact that Davidson was one of those killed by a gunshot wound at the scene of the crime. Also shot and killed were a woman and a toddler. Although not confirmed by the police, it is assumed that this is a case of a murder-suicide, with the man’s wife and toddler as victims. Davidson’s sentencing was certainly not unexpected and the online casino gambling industry, and internet users everywhere were in fact thankful that the U.S. courts put a stop to Davidson’s spam abuse.

Unfortunately though no one could have known that Davidson would only serve two of the 21 months of his sentence before escaping and murdering his family; a tragic end without question.

Spamming and internet fraud are some of the major concerns for the internet in the coming years. Online casinos and ecommerce site have encountered setbacks in the past several years in attempts to stay ahead of fraudsters and spammers in terms of technology and software protection. And while fighting fraudsters and spammers is an ongoing battle, technology today is increasingly efficient at protecting consumers when they are using the internet.
