Date: Wed Jun 14 20:23:20 2006 From: geoincidents at nls.net (Geo.) Subject: Phishing and Spammers I would appreciate hearing a little feedback on this idea. It strikes me that phishers and spammers have a vulnerability that we have not yet exploited. They collect information, granted the returns are small but since email is cheap they send out tons and those tons net them a profitable return. Why not encourage everyone to reply to phishers and spammers with fake information? Get a spam, order it using a fake name and credit information. Get a phishing mail, go login to change your ebay/paypal password with fake credentials. GIGO, you know? I mean if they are getting a 1% or 2% return then if the same ratio were to respond with bad information it would make a lot of work for the folks profitting from these activities. Geo.
