This penalty is divided into 2 parts: \u20ac150,000 for sending spam e-mails and \u20ac100,000 for not sending a link to unsubscribe. Furthermore, a penalty of \u20ac5,000 per day is claimed for each day he continues to send spam e-mails. This amount may even reach a maximum of \u20ac100,000.<\/p>\n<p>The spammer is called Reinier Schenkhuizen. According to OPTA, the man has sent at least 21 million spam emails. In 2005, he already received a warning from OPTA about sending spam. He didn&#8217;t pay any attention to this warning and therefore, OPTA was now forced to impose a fine.<\/p>\n<p>The mails that he sent, contained advertising for the website adverterenisgratis.nl of Serinco Benelux, a sole business. The mails were sent via the Internet Promo Service of Serinco, an e-mail service that makes sure many e-mails can be sent simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>OPTA considers it normal that they\u00a0 have imposed a high penalty to Reineir Schenkhuizen. &#8216;Mr. Schenkhuizen already received a warning in 2005 but just went on by sending spam e-mails,&#8217;\u00a0 says OPTA. &#8216;Furthermore, Mr. Schenkhuizen has sent e-mails for almost 5 years, which is a very long period. During this period 397 complaints were filed against him. We&#8217;ve considered all these factors in our decision,&#8217; concludes OPTA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dutch OPTA (Independent Post and Telecommunications Authority) has imposed a Dutch &#8216;persistent spammer&#8217; a fine of \u20ac250,000.
