How to Teach Spammers a Lesson

It sounds weird, but I have invented a way and tried it successfully too on people who had been constantly spamming my inbox. Especially the ones who request me to accept million dollar funds from Nigeria.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Internet
• Gmail account
• Computer
• Any large file more than 5MB

1. Identify the Spammers email and check if it is functional by sending an email if you do not get a failure message in few minutes then you are on the right track. Sometimes may even take longer.
2. Open a Gmail account.
3. Compose an email type your own Gmail id in the "To" box. Intention is to send it to your own Gmail address.
4. Upload a large file as an attachment. Do not use your personal pictures or files. Download a free 5 MB or higher software from any website (try CNET).
5. Once the file is attached, send it to your own address and wait until you see it in your inbox.
6. Open the email that you received from your own account. Now click the Forward button. Make sure the email shows the big file attached to it.
7. Type in the Spammer's email in all the three "To" boxes. Hit "Send." Keep on forwarding this email to the spammer until you get an automated message from the "DAEMON" saying, "recipient's email box is full," or "recipient cannot receive email." Basically, you are filling his inbox until it gets disabled.
8. Many Spammer use ordinary domains to spam and these usually do not have a sufficient capacity.

Tips & Warnings

• If you get spam email that you think is deceptive, forward it to [e-mail]. They use the spam stored in this database to pursue law enforcement actions against people who send deceptive email.
• Do not try this technique if the Spammer is using Yahoo or Gmail. Yahoo provides few GBs of free space and it might take ages to fill in the inbox.
