    Ideas for auto-respond e-mail to spammers for pokerfraud.com

    Since I registered pokerfraud.com, I am getting tons of spam from obnoxious web developers (some domestic, some abroad) who keep offering me their services.

    I get several per day.

    My first inclination was just to turn off that e-mail account and bounce them back, but I thought it might be more entertaining to send an auto-respond message to these guys.

    Post your ideas for the auto-respond message here.

    I don't want anything obscene or threatening, but anything else is basically fair game.

    Newly registered or recent whois changed domains see spam for a couple weeks, it stops almost entirely eventually. No need to do anything, not worth the bother.

    I neglected to enable domain privacy on a new domain recently and my gmail spam folder went from 200'ish to 900'ish within a week and hasnt dropped since.

    If you auto-respond, you will end up on a list of 'validated' emails, eg attended live email addresses, at which point you get punted to the 'premium' resale lists.

    You done goofed, dont make it worse, and I say that from personal experience.

    The e-mail is a forwarder -- pokerfraud@raregamepiece.com.

    I don't use it for anything else.

    That's why I didn't mind listing it publicly. I can shut it off at any time with no consequence.

    I don't want to pay for domain privacy services. I just slap up a PO Box address, the phone number for radio, and a throwaway e-mail, and that's basically the same thing.

    Ahhhh nice one. Set up a .forward and pipe it to a random perl script that generates a subtly randomized "Really! Tell me more!" type response.

    Spam the spammers.

    Find the least believable Nigerian Prince Inherits $20M from father email you can pull from the interwebs, and use that to send out. Set up a script to post any responses/replies in a forum here somewhere and let users have fun with the email addresses.

    What could go wrong?

    Have the form letter state that you have a budget of $5,000 and are very interested, but that you only discuss business over the phone. Leave a number that goes straight to voicemail for a Skype or Google account.

    In the voicemail prompt, tell them they only get one chance win your business, and have 30 seconds to make their pitch, starting now.

    If any messages are particularly funny, play them on radio.
