Charles Chase, a retiree who lives in Berryville, Va., last week won a 2002 Porsche Boxster S Cabriolet two-door convertible that was confiscated from S a spammer as a result of a lawsuit filed by American Online a year ago. AOL is headquartered in Dulles, Va., and Virginia's anti-spam statute, which went into effect on July 1, gives the state's law-enforcement agencies the right to seize spammers' assets. In March, AOL decided to use the seized sports car to tout its success in fighting spam, and launched a sweepstakes, open only to AOL subscribers who completed an online entry form.
