Fun With Spammers

[slortar]

Inspired by a recent article written by a man who bills spammers for time and resources, I’ve started to play with people who send me unsolicited e-mail. Specifically, whenever a web site is promoted, I do a whois lookup to find their contact information and get creative from there.

For example, earlier today I signed up a bunch of spammers for free stuff from Jack Chick’s web site. I expect they’ll enjoy snailmail delivery of Jack’s catalog and assorted other brochures.

I also did them the favor of signing them up for inspirational christian mailing lists (they were porn spammers).

So, what other nastiness can you guys think up? I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface here.

I used to send hilarious “I’m Offended” replies back to the spammers. Remember when that “YOUR DICK TEARING GIRLS HOLES APART” thing was going around?

I hit the “Reply” button and fired off this:

Misters, I have just received your e-mail in my inbox, and I am offended. Let me tell you, sirs, that “your dick tearing girls holes apart” is not a laughing matter. I have a LEGITIMATE MEDICAL PROBLEM!

At age 22, I am still paying off the hospital and therapy bills for my prom date. I have not been able to wear briefs since I was 15. I was looking into reduction surgery on the morning I got your e-mail. I hope you rat bastards burn in hell.

Although they’d probably notice that the e-mail was coming from somebody named “Katherine.” Dang.
