Wash. Complaint Accuses UltraVPN Owner of Being a Spam Emailer

Aura Sub removed to U.S. District Court for Western Washington in Tacoma on Monday a complaint filed Oct. 24 in Clark County Superior Court in which plaintiff Nathan Brinton alleges the owner of digital security and antivirus software seller UltraVPN initiated or assisted in the transmission of more than 100 spam email solicitations to his various email addresses. The spam email “misrepresented or obscured information about the point of origin and transmission path of the spam email,” including “false or dishonest” information in the “from” or “subject” line of each email, according to the complaint (docket 3:23-cv-06084). Aura also used third-party domain names “without the permission of the third party,” said the complaint. It did so “in both the header content of spam messages and within the content of spam messages,” it said. Some of the emails use Amazon Web Service links as the main call to action link, it said. But it’s against Amazon's terms of service “to use their links to promote unsolicited messages or spam emails,” it said. Brinton is the same plaintiff who previously made similar allegations against One Technologies (see 2311220040).
