How would I go about spamming someone?

[angler]

I was trying to buy a piece of exercise equipment off of Craigslist and the guy was a total douchenozzle.  Really bad with communication - always with the one word email replies.  Told him I had cash and would buy it and he sold it out from under me.  Would love to send him so many emails his iphone caught fire and burned a hole in his murse (man purse).

Use his email address to "sign up" for just about every pop-up you see.

+1, just sign up for mad shit on a popup website. but if he has a good spam blocker like gmail, hes not going to get any of it.

fandamntastic idea duccarlos!

Google up various forms of internet ownage-you'll see a million ways.


Or you could just chase him when he drives while you're on foot. Then you wouldn't need the exercise equipment.


Also keep in mind he has your email address.

Yeah I almost fired off an angry tirade, but stopped when I realized that.....

i wouldn't do anything.

you want to spam a guy that basically at the end of the day didn't want to sell you something.  he probably got a better deal from someone else. simple as that.


let's put it this way, as another member noted he has your email address too. and also its craigslist, if you don't raelize that 80% on craigslist are not the most motivated of sellers then that is something you have to learn.

not to be mean but general rule of thumb with craigslist, basically respond 1 time to someone and if you dont' get a good normal answer in the next email, its probably someone that is either not motiveated to really sell something or a scam.  yes i know there are good deals there but soemtimes its not worth it.

Man, you should change your name to "piss on every thread." 

Yeah, yeah don't get worked up over the small shit, I understand that. Yeah, yeah I know craigslist posters are amateurs and shouldn't be expected to behave like a real business interested in customer service.  But lack of decency really chaps my ass.

Will I do anything?  Likely not - really this mini-rant served its purpose - made me laugh and redirected my anger.
