Two men who boasted about being the biggest distributors of nuisance text messages in the UK have been exposed as part of a three-year BBC investigation.
Andrew Horner-Glister and Barry Sanders, who ran several businesses, told an undercover reporter from Inside Out West Midlands they sent “60 million texts a month”.
The pair said when they did it up until 2012, it was legal. But the Information Commissioner’s Office, which regulates the industry, says it’s been illegal since 2003.
