Man Wins £750 Compensation for his Wasted Time with Spam Emails

Interesting story in the Daily Fail today

Could this be the new PPI? This could be a nice little project for Martin Lewis :money: and we could start taking to court those unreputable companies (like Alistair at Prize Magazines) for wasting so much of our precious time in trying to stop them spamming our inbox :)
