Please reply me on this my private mail box ([email protected])
 
I got one of those in my personal mail the other day and replied with a string of swearwords that would put the most hardened sailor to absolute shame.

Reply and tell them to fackoff, and also sign up the address up at various dubious websites.
 
sigh

amateur move man, dont reply, dont ever reply, cos then they know ur addy is active and they'll just spam more to u :/ no matter what is done is done.

I agree with Gladiator's reasoning, best is not to reply as they will then have your email addy, which vBulletin does not reveal, but when you reply they can email you direct.

If forumites receive such spam [i.e. clearly sent using the forum's send email feature], please forward the spam email to mods, and let us deal with it [i.e. don't send a reply to the spammer's email addy] :).

People that spam are just sad little people stuck behind their desks trying to get a reaction out of people. Just like a kid that does stupid things for attention, they do there stupid act and ignore them, they will get the point that you dont find it funny and wont give them attention. With spammers just delete the email, if u reply it will be a good idea normally to bock email addy's or get a new address!
 
The 419 guys aren't as much spammers as they are scammers. I've started getting these 419 scam emails for the past 3 weeks or so. It's really frustrating. I wish I had the time and energy to have a little fun at their expense, but alas I don't.
 
Thanks and God bless.
Thats the typical line, I'm sure people can build a 419 blocker just by searhing for that line in all your e-mails.
 
Hi TheRoDent

Usually we will not publish any IP’s for reasons of anonymity, but since this is a scammer (banned now) here is the IP for security reasons:

Looks like the US (Virginia)

Seems like they're targetting forums now, since most of their IP's appear to have been blacklisted.
 
Go Ajax!

Internet access in ivory coast must be real slow, those 100 free newsletters things should really tick that tool off.

I wish these people would get caught and put in jail for attempted fraud, people like these screw the internet up and force the governments to regulate our free speech arena!
