A company that instructed a firm in Belize to send around 64,000 spam texts promoting loans on its behalf has been fined £20,000 by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Munee Hut operated out of Eyebrow Cottage, a Grade II listed building in the south Manchester town of Sale. An ICO investigation, prompted by hundreds of complaints from the public about the spam texts, revealed Munee Hut had obtained the personal details used to send the messages from a variety of loan and prize draw websites. None of these sites indicated the data would be used for sending marketing text messages from Munee Hut.....Source ICOYou must be logged in to post a comment.
