Thanks all.

What would you do if someone signed you up to spam email?

    They signed me up to a spam site that passes on my email to 100's of other spam, so if deleting 100,s of emails everyday is your thing, will you spend a few hours everyday deleting them for me?

    Sure i will.

    Pm me your email sign in and password details.

    Would you do it 100's times every day, to your main email address?

    I used to run the main contact addresses for a large company. We'd get hundreds, sometimes in the thousands of spams a day. It took less than 5 minutes every day to put them through the filter.

    It is when you have to enter your email everytime and most of the sites when you try to unsubscribe come up 404

    Don't unsubscribe from them, it only serves to confirm your address is live so it's a waste of time and only encourages more spam.

    Forward them to me please. I got hooked on that stuff in Nam and haven't been able to find any since I got home.

    Long story short, did work for someone, job done,, then they changed their mind, then they were calling every 30 mins wanting to change this, change that, even though it was exactly as requested... etc...etc...
    So I said NO, I'm done, I've done what was asked, and delivered, so after a hissy fit they said fine..... 30 mins later, begging to do a bit more... etc...
    So the next day I receive 100's of spam email (I never sign up to anything, or give my email address away willy nilly etc), and have yet to receive a penny/cent.

    So, what's the best After Hours Revenge for such passive aggressive behaviour?

    How do you know he/she signed you up to spam?

    Put a car for sale in Donedeal. Make sure its a good one but price it ridiculously low. Put his number as the contact number. Sit back and enjoy the fact that every gob****e in Ireland will ring him at any hour of the day.

    Set up a filter that redirects all the spam to their email address.
