You realise that a lot of times they put in random email addresses, and that you've most likely just put some poor guy through a lot of trouble. What you have doene is also illegal. . I'm not certain, but this could also be considered mail fraud which is a federal offense, and has a much stiffer penalty.

Spammers hide behind other people's home addresses and phone numbers, where they would receiv these orders?

Also why the hell would they direct people to someone else's site to take orders? You make no sense at all.

Cameron just launched headlong into one of the most fervent fanciful superiority complexes I've ever seen.

You jumped on Miracle like you're a pillar of intelligence and logic and he cannot possibly stack up to you and why would he try anyway?, yet you seem to be missing the huge gap in logic in your own post.

Let me trace your path for you:

spammers sometimes use fake emails -> the fake email address might actually be someone else's -> this guy positively (most likely) DID use a fake email address -> the email address he used positively (most likely) IS actually someone else's -> this person's email is positively (most likely) active and he is positively (most likely) about to get a ton of shit that he doesn't want

Can you spot the inexplicable leap of logic? How about the other ten? Or am I missing something? Maybe you personally know the person who is spamming? Maybe you personally know the person with the email address?

You just made an argument based on pure speculation and then lashed out at Miracle when he called you on your post. Not cool.

Miracle was talking about it being okay to do illegal stuff if scumballs are involved. That's what's not cool, along with spamming this dude's home address with junk.

Good thinking there. Reciprocity will really teach them a lesson, forget the higher ground. I think you're missing the underlying point, Sandy.

And maybe you're missing the 'leap' in logic. Maybe this spam was created by a disgruntled person that wanted their friend to get a whole bunch of crap and used that person's home address in some fake spam. You don't know that this is legitimate. You could easily be playing into this guy's hands, you tool.
