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.

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.

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 and lured MySpace users to his Web sites, according to the complaint.

“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.

I think MySpace is a colossal waste of time and energy, but at least they are trying to do the right thing here. This guy Wallace is spamming, phishing, spyware-spreading scum.
