To all the spammers
Published May 21st, 2009 by Eli GundryRecently, I posted a small ad on Craigslist offering up my web design skills for free. This is an extremely generous offer, conisidering my jobless situation. My generousity aside, I’ve gotten a couple of spam emails instead of offers. And for each spam email, I have responded politely and professionaly. But today, the camel’s back broke and I decided to take my revenge.
It all started with this email from “M.Falsetta984@gmail.com” (feel free to spam him, he deserves it).
Hey.
I saw your ad in the services section. Noticed you put a phone number. I highly recommend using a professional phone system that will have a call in greeting (with a nice voice over). The system I use allows for ringing to my computer, cell phone, land line, or multiple people. It has voicemail boxes, 800 numbers and much more, it is basically a must for anyone taking phone calls. They have got a free trial you can use to try it out. If you do not already use something like this definitely give it a shot.

I also have a friend who is a radio DJ and does voiceover stuff for phone on hold and greeting intros.
It is nice because no matter how small your business is it screams professionalism to the caller which makes them more confident in dealing with you.
If you need a voice over done let me know, and let me know what you think of the service. I have been using it for quite some time for my web design business and it makes a world of difference.
Thanks
You’ll note that I broke the link. This is because my hosts file flagged it, for whatever reason, so I feel that it is in my best interest to protect my readers from it. So let’s see my response.
Hey.
I noticed your email in my inbox. I noticed you put a link. I highly recommend using working links when sending spam. Or maybe it’s my modified hosts file protecting me from obnoxious ads. Whatever the case, it’s obvious you need help with the internet. That’s where I come in. I can provide affordable web designs at a rapid pace.
Just for you Miguel, I’ll give you a special a special offer that I rarely make.
For the next 30 days you can take one step back and FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!!!
Miguel, you are scum, so I doubt that you have a friend that is a DJ, or that you have any friends at all.
And don’t talk to me about professionalism. I eat professionalism for breakfast and piss excelence.
If you ever need someone to hold a gun to your head while you dig your own grave, let me know, because I’d be more than happy to do it. I’m sure everyone would be much happier if you were dead.
Thanks
I know that I’m supposed to put up a front and just move it to my spam folder, but sometimes you just need to unwind. Maybe next time Miguel Falsetta will think twice when he reads that little block of text at the bottom of Craigslist that says:
It’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
Or else you will get this:
