Spam the spammers

[hoyaguru]

Did you ever want to get back at the spammers? Well now you can!

I received an email today titled "Your website is not optimized for Search Engines", and the email went on to tell me how I could have my "Ebay Motor Website" listed higher in the search engine. I don't know what an ebay motor website is. In the email, they give a toll free number, which if I'm not mistaken, costs them money every time someone calls them.

So, if you have a minute, give them a call at 1-800-628-0418. Hit *67 first to block their caller ID. Tell them what you think about spammers, I sure have, probably about 50 times today. They are in California, and they are open from 9AM to 5PM PST. Here's the email:

Does it cost to make a call from a cell phone? (sorry for my ignorance, I don't own one).

It uses up your "anytime" minutes. After 9pm you are using "nighttime" minutes, which are generally unlimited.
