What's the best way to get a feck load of spam to someone's email, house addresses and phones??

Reason I ask it a good friend had his card cloned, and someone has gone off buying a couple of 40" tv's with it, now dont ask me how but my friend has found out this persons details. (really not sure how)

Revenge is needed other that kicking his O/H's back doors in.

it might be illegal, i forget under what exactly, but be careful.

Anyway, i might as well be an accessory, so google "free newsletter" and maybe ask scientologists for more information.

[Apparently] if you leave an email address on forums, free ad sites, they get picked up by the 'robots' harvesting email addresses for the spammers.

Sign them up to the chocolate tasting club. My dad left their club and told them he had been diagnosed with diabetes and they STILL send letters and call him up to renew his membership every couple of months.

Someone cloned his card and spunked thousands, so he wants to send him some junk mail. Why don't you go around to the local police station and ask them to pretend to arrest him for obtaining money by deception? That would be a great send up.

Vistaprint,
don't order anything, meerly think of said email address whilst looking at VP's website and the victim will very soon need a dedicated server to cope with the monumental barrage of 'offers'!!

Really?

Not some spam e mails.
Doesn't seem like the type of vigilante justice I would be going for, but each to their own.
I would suggest kicking him in the bks may be more gratifying than sending him some unwanted emails

All this had been done, and money has been credited back to him now. Person has also been caught and due to be sentenced next year (for a load of other offenses too).

This may seem very small and petty, but its part of a larger plan of which i wont divulge on a public website.

Worst part of this is its a fairly close family friend too, who knew said friend had come into some money not too long before it happened. rage

Thanks for help peeps, will forward the info on.

It's a boring answer, but don't sign him up to lots of mailing lists. They're all companies who don't really need to spend their marketing budget on sending info to non-customers.
