Best ways to get spam?

ragnar14 - Apr 26, 2002

			In a bout of utter boredom I've started a hotmail account and I'm trying to flood it with as much spam as possible It's kinda hard to do as there is no real way to contact spammers. So what I'm wondering is where do you think you've had spammers get your email addy from? In case you're wondering how I'm trying to get caught so far I've left my name on the Hotmail member directory (I'm pretty sure that's harvested on a regular basis) and I've signed up for nearly every newletter I can find (I'm getting 100+ per day). Any suggestions would be appreicated.

			Post on Usenet, enter your address in all those "you are a winnah!"-popups, etc. Getting spam is one of the easiest things in life.

			go on the internet. lol most spammers could probably trace where you go...

			Get a couple geocities, xoom, homestead etc. accounts, then just put the email addy in them. Make some meta tags and submit to some of the big search engines. The spiders will come crawling. /me can't help but wonder if you're doing this to someone else's account

That's why I haven't told you the account name or asked you guys to send it spam, I didn't want to make you think I was spamming anyone else.

Freesites + Spiders is a great idea

Hmm, usenet is a great idea. I think I need to crosspost to a bunch of pron groups

			Just signing up to Hotmail was enough to get me plenty of spam.

			I find it easily enough next to the corned beef, Does Hotmail come with email forwarding? i can think of some people who would deserve that account being forwarded to them

			I've had that happen too, 3rdman. Worst part was, almost all of them were from the same mofo.

			Hmm, I put together a crappy webite (took less than 5 minutes to build) and submited it to search engines. You can look at it if you like (but be forewarned, it's not worth looking at). http://www.geocities.com/flooodmenoow/index.html... Now I need to go give my addy to pron sites ::ewww::
