Although stronger language is always tempting (and sometimes satisfying) it's not effective in this quest. Here's my modified custom message:

HEY SPAMMER! Stop your spamming. Because I am tired of receiving it and it's really annoying. How about doing something useful rather than resorting to deception in an attempt to sell? Like, how about getting a real job, or actually doing something productive instead of clogging people's e-mail accounts with tons of electronic garbage! When you were a little boy, did you say "I want to grow up and be a huge annoyance to millions of people all over the world" ??? Well, it seems that's what you've become after all.

Good idea ... I also replace letters as well e.g. o by 0 (Zero), l by 1 so your the text wood looks like this:

Thought that might be a good idea to talk to 'em in their language *LOL*

[MrEguy]

I'll use that version, thanks oli32de

[SpamItBack]

lol..

I think you just gave us an idea for creating new "messages". We can create a 'spamvertised' message style, that replaces all "o"'s with "0"s, "l"'s, with "1"'s, etc. How does that sound?

Please post here all the different letters/variations in spelling, etc, and we'll add something that will create a 'spamvertized' style message.

I.e., take:

"Stop your spamming please!" and make it say:
"St0p y0ur sp4mm1ing p1e4se!"

Dear spammer, i am veri sick and annoyed by your stupid messages. Nobody cares about your pills, your mortages or your winning lottery tickets. Your electronic garbage tells me that your life is a complete failure. Do me a favour: get a real job and a real life also! So, here you are a taste of your own medicine... enjoy!


That's my message, spamvetised version follows:
De4r sp4mm3r, i 4m v3ry si(k 4nd 4nn0y3d by y0ur stupi|) me554ge5. N0b0dy c4re5 4b0ut y0ur pi115, y0ur m0rtages 0r y0ur winning l0ttery ti(ket5.

Actually i'm using the "usubscribe" page of a spammer with the emails owned by spammers. A spammer that spams a spammer: that's awesome!

Ha ha ha ... sounds good to me. Here are my (international) suggestions:


a @
c (
e é
g 9
i î
l | (Pipe)
o 0 (Zero)
s $
u ù
w vv (twice v)


So that would be my sample text, good choice
