The spam was hawking Wired Country Direct wireless broadband plans, as well as Telecom UBS and TelstraClear DSL. Battles put his Whangapararoa and Telecom mobile phone number on that message, as well as on another spam for national and international call rates.
Contacted by Computerworld, Brendan Battles denies that he is the same person as US spammer Brendan Battles.
Originally employed by Wired Country, Battles transferred to Compass when the ISP purchased the broadband provider last year, according to Karim Hussona, chief executive of Compass Communications.
Hussona confirms that complaints have been filed over the spamming and that Battles was reprimanded for it.
However, Hussona isn't aware of the activities in the US where Battles earnt a record in the Spamhaus Register of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO), an authoritative list of the world's most notorious spammers. Florida spammer Battles reportedly sent out up to 50 million spams a day, hawking things like subliminal weight loss and penis enlargement products.
