What would happen if you sent spam emails to the people who sent spam to you?

You know, like what if you made a list of all the bogus emails you got, and started emailing those people with worthless junk?



It's a silly idea I know, but so is sending spam to begin with. I guess I'm just venting about the whole spam process, LOL.What would happen if you sent spam emails to the people who sent spam to you?
Ooo KIWI, you have a wicked thought process. I like it... Hey good idea, but guess what? It wont work. Most of the spam operators use computer generated emails and they are sent out like a big, "Whooooooosh!" to a Trillion emails at once. It only takes a moment. Once all the mails are gone, these guys delete the email address, which was used to send you the spam, and the "sender" disappears into the oblivion. So most likely the mail will bounce back to you. Mostly likely, if you a spam-guard, it will end up in your spam bin. Nice try though!
Usually the spammer uses a bogus address. The majority of the messages you would send would just bounce back as undeliverable.What would happen if you sent spam emails to the people who sent spam to you?
They are pretty clever. If you email back it never goes through, it just bounces back to you. I think they use an email address only to do a spam and then deactivate that email address. Yahoo's email system is pretty good in catching spam and just placing it on another folder so you don't have to bother even looking at it. Though every now and then some slip through the regular inbox.
So far, nothing has happened :) I tried replying to the writers of my spam... I think they just consider me spam!!!What would happen if you sent spam emails to the people who sent spam to you?
Hmmm i'm not sure but i like the way you think lol.
Yeah except most of those addresses are made up so they bounce back AND the "person" sending spam isn't really someone sitting at their computer sending emails from an email address.. it is like a computer program. (actually this sounds like a question in itself)



anyway it won't do anything but confirm that your email address is real so they can send more
