If you're in the UK like I am, this can work to drive them out of business.
These guys sometimes spam email and news groups. I always reply to them
giving my work address and home cell phone number. Then they have to goto
costs to mail you out real material, phone you up at there expense to a cell
phone. After a few weeks of ummming and ahhharing about the scheme, just
yell at them that they are spamming toerags and you hate them all!

You a bit of abuse, but it's their money they are spending, eventually they
will learn. One even went and looked up my newsgroup postings and posted a
tirade about me and mr morals and how I shouldn't go contacting spammers in
NANAE
