Notorious spammer Sanford Wallace could face jail time for violating a restraining order barring him from accessing Facebook.  In February, the social networking site sued Wallace and fellow spammers Adam Arzoomanian and Scott Shaw for spamming its users and running a phishing attack on the site.  As a result a U.S. District Court judge issued a temporary restraining order against them which forbid them to access Facebook in any way.  Due to the violation the judge referred him to the U.S. District Attorney’s office for criminal proceedings.

“We see Fogel’s ruling as a strong deterrent against spammers. Spammers feel that they are immune from criminal prosecution. Fogel’s ruling demonstrates that judges will enforce restraining orders and spammers who violate them will face criminal prosecution,” said Barry Schnitt, a Facebook spokesman.
