Have you ever wanted to reply to a spammer, not to ask him how his life came to this or did he think that this is what he would be when he grew up, but just to taunt him? A
writer for the Boston Globe did just that; when a spammer emailed him, promising him 20 percent of some fake company's profits for just the exchange of his bank account numbers (what a deal!), he decided to have fun with spam.
He emailed the spammer back, playing along for a bit, and got into a pretty funny volley, with gems from the spammer like, "In my last email i ask you to provide me your credit card number and the limit.

As much as spam emails totally suck when they make their way to your inbox - especially
ones like these - I can honestly say I was completely shocked when I read this story on USA Today.
A man from Colorado has been arrested for
sending hundreds of thousands of spam e-mails. His sentence?

Just when I thought my tough and mighty
Google gods would keep my
Gmail account free from love struck spammers luring unsuspecting email users to visit malicious websites — what do I get in my email? Emails similar to the"ILOVEYOU" worm email, that infected ten percent of all computers connected to the
Internet and caused around $5.5 billion in damages!
Ok, I'll fess up, the emails did arrive in my spam folder, fortunately, which was a giant red flag to begin with.
