Let's see if anyone can help, I keep getting spammed like all of us do, but I want to turn the tables on them. Does anyone know of a site where I can drop the offending address and start sending these idiots mountains of spam? I'm actually getting fools using the contact box on my website to send this crap, I'll have to check for updates to make sure there isn't an automated way, but I think they are manually copy paste into the boxes. |

I did just stumble onto this one, but any others would be welcome. I'll set up a Linux burner machine before I start dropping addresses. http://www.digicrime.com/spam/ |

The address they are sending from doesn’t exist in any real sense. You will flood no inboxes. Nobody will even notice, assuming it’s even a valid address. |

Yeah... same with all of those phone numbers calling you about extending your car's warranty... spoofed numbers that don't actually exist. |

Oh, those usually do exist - but that’s not who called you. About a year ago I started getting spam calls “from” numbers similar to my own, the first six being the same, the last four different. They started out as spam/scams but eventually became voicemails from irate people with similar phone numbers telling me to stop calling them. One call, two victims. |

This spam had an email to send questions and a website to sign up. Years ago I would have ddos'ed the site, but a lot of things have changed since then. The email they listed for questions was a gmail, so I reported it to abuse@gmail.com, not sure if that will do anything. I also turned the contact form on my website to off, no one is using it or the pages I put up, so may not renew this year and just be done with it. |
