You know it's Christmas when your Inbox is crammed with spam.
I like to respond to spam by actually filling out BS information and making the spammer think they've got a customer.
For example, I got an offer to re-finance my house. So....I filled out the convenient form and told them I'd like to have a re-fi loan for about $100k on my (non-existant) condo in La Jolla.
I get a response this morning that there would be not one, but FOUR lenders contacting me soon. I responded (this time to a real e-mail address) that I didn't fill out any contact information [/innocent].
I get a response from the (I assume) owner of the lending company saying:
I have advertisers drive people to my web site, I will look up the person that delivered me your information and see what this is all about.I answered back:Here is what I received from my servers this morning. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Sometimes people just key in information from a phone book to play games with us.
Yeah, I know. I'm one of those people that send you bogus information.I'm sure I'll get a response that says something like 'Oh, I'm very sorry for this happening....'How does it feel to be suckered? Hmmm??
If I was honestly looking for re-finance my condo - do you think I'd go with a company that resorts to SPAMMING??
So long sucker!!
Yeah, right.
Comments on Spamming the Spammer
That's a funny idea. I'm going to utilize your method of "spam volley". I freaking HATE spam. I'm not limiting that statement to digital spam, either.
