MySpace.com on Tuesday said it has filed suit against Sanford Wallace, seeking to bar the “spam king” and his affiliated companies from the social-networking site.<\/p>\n

In the suit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles, MySpace accuses Wallace of violating state and federal laws including the federal Can-Spam Act and California’s antispam and antiphishing statutes, the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n

MySpace charges that Wallace launched a phishing scam in October to fraudulently access MySpace profiles. He also allegedly created profiles, groups and forums on MySpace, spammed thousands of users with unwanted advertisements<\/a> and lured MySpace users to his Web sites, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

“Individuals who try to spam or phish our members are not welcome on MySpace,” Hemanshu Nigam, chief security officer for MySpace, said in the statement. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction barring Wallace and his affiliated companies from the MySpace site, in addition to unspecified monetary damages.<\/p>\n
