Fine threatened over mobile spam deluge

Fines of more than £250,000 look set to be handed out to two people who sent millions of spam text messages.

The pair topped a list of mobile spam senders compiled by the Information Commissioner (ICO) with the help of the public.

The ICO got more than 30,000 responses to its plea for help identifying the most incorrigible spammers.

If the spammers cannot prove they had permission to send millions of texts they must pay the fines.
