Annoying "help me transfer 1million dollars" emails....

    You know the ones......

    "
    Dear Sir,

    I am ali-baba from wheresawhatsit and I have a shed load of money I need you to help me with etc etc"


    In my efforts to make these pi$$ant's live's more difficult I am wondering is there is a site or script about where I can signup a scummers email address to a load of "questionable" mailing lists.

    Id rather not have to go to the effort of typing "free ghey pron email" into google and signing up individually.

    Natually they will just use another email account, but if I can C&P their addies into a field and let it do the work it would be worth it.

    Any thoughts?

    The only thing I can think of is to post their email address on IRC channels, message boards etc and let the email harvesters do the work for you.

    do people still fall for these

    yea, ive seen 419 etc allright, along with the powerbook which was a classic.

    Putting them up for harvester's consumption is fine but I'm shocked there is not site that you can enter an email address and have it add it to 25 nasty lists or somthing.

    Maybe ill have to make one :)

    there is a site somewhere and its killing me not being able to remember it, basically they lead these scammers on to the point that it costs the scammers money to produce fake id CARDS, Photos, tatoos of their religions etc, then they tell them they arent interested!very funny read

    Thats http://419eater.com/html/letters.htm you are thinking of, its a great site :)

    WARNING
    419 scammers are not nice people, they are thieves, liars, and generally very nasty, therefore you can expect some small use of adult language and themes when dealing with them here. That is not to say there are any explicit pictures here - there are not, but if you are very easily offended then please go HERE <-- here = disney.com

    haha. Oh well this should be a good way to pass a hour or two

    www.blat.net - a nice little command line email app

    you can specify the from and reply email addresses so all you need is an open relay and you can send off the email addresses to whatever lists you want,

    still the problem of getting a set of lists though
