Ever been tempted to reply to Spam E mails

I have posted this in the Fun section because of the length of e mails to read. Author James Veitch chose to take on the email scammers contacting him.

He exchanged messages with them after responding to initial ridiculous email and the results were hilarious, as he ended up conning those out to get him

Re: Ever been tempted to reply to Spam E mails

I've replied to some scammers email once. I can't remember what they were after, however, I asked them whether people are still falling for their stupid scams.
They answered me back and said: "We will send you another email next week and you must fall for that one!"
Seems they have a sense of humor too.

Re: Ever been tempted to reply to Spam E mails

I've been tempted to set up anti-spam rigs. It is possible to take down servers using various methods and maybe similar methods could be used to take out scam mobile phones and to make replies to emails impossible to filter. I should really look into it though I would probably be bumped off in no-time. I hate bloody spammers with a vengeance.
