As you may already know. I received anywhere from 50 to hundred of SPAM emails everyday.
So one day I was thinking why not do something with these spam emails since we can't stop them.

So I replied to every spam email with my website link which listed my names for sale. out of hundred of emails that I sent to SPAM them back, I received two emails from them with the interest to buy my names. I closed 2 sales last week from the Spammers.

Let do something - SPAM them back and make some money.

GL!

But can you trust deals done with these people? And will you not get thousands more spam emails now they know your address is a real one?

They sent email to me and I reply to them so technically I am not spamming.

I thought most spam email addresses were spoofed?

Not all of them are pros or smart.
The smart ones would not reply or click on any replied email. The amateurs are the ones who will get the baits.

I personally am sick and fricking tired of spam mail - like I don't have enough $hit to do already in my life! :cool:

Anyone have a good filtering service they use?

Personally I wouldn't want to deal with a spammer - somebody that has poor ethics.
The difference between a spammer and a scammer: one single letter :yes:

I do not reply to all of the spam emails. Only the ones with IT, computer or Internet related businesses.
Remember many times we said we sold names to end users but we have more chance to sell to middleman than "pure end user", i.e.: Hosting, Web design and IT consulting companies.
