merylvingien Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I get half a dozen emails from the same morons each day, they are manually entering the text into a php form which is captcha protected! I have never replied and just about fed up with them. I have blacklisted the current email addresses that they are using at the moment, then redirected them to wikipedia's page on spam email, which has stopped them for the moment, but in the words of arnie "they will be back" I was thinking about a e bomb, but does anyone have any other even better ideas to really piss these guys off? A simple redirect doesnt really do them justice They are advertising seo services, i am page one, number one for my topic, just to show how clever these idjiots are!

webmaster1 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'd like to think that finding/creating a page with extremely explicit/disturbing content to redirect them each time might work but we already know that spammers are soulless bastards.

JonnoTheDev Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Record the IP addresses of the user using the contact form. Increment the count of the number of messages going through each IP. If there are high numbers for a particular IP then block it through .htaccess Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/202317-any-suggestions-on-how-to-piss-off-spam-emailers/#findComment-1061001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
merylvingien Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 The issue of capturing the guys doing it isnt a problem, i can do that easily. Finding some really cruel and wicked way of paying them back is! I think the e bomb idea is probably the way to go. Maybe open up 1000 internet e and 1000 firefox browser windows on their pc's would send the message that i want. LOL Is there a way to remotely format someones hard drive?

JonnoTheDev Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Listen, dont bother. Most Internet professionals are spammers. SEO specialists are spammers. They litter the Internet with all kinds of crap to get links and boost their traffic. They send millions of emails to sell viagra or some kind of product. They make millions. Don't get frustrated as it is just the way it is. Spend your time improving security for future projects rather than on a childish prank. As soon as you get rid of 1 spammer another will appear. Just think yourself lucky that you are not dealing with DDOS attacks as I have had to in the past. A bit of spam email, join the club.

Andy-H Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I remember some guy at school had a video on his phone of a german dominatrix shoving a dildo down some guys japs eye, I would find a sick video like that and direct them to it, if theyre retarded enough to not know how to disable javascript you could do a kind of rick roll? That should disturb them...
