One of the reasons why to not spam/chainmail mailing lists.

I believe that some of us have received at least one email from scammers where they make mistake with carbon copy/blind carbon copy (CC/BCC) where you are able to see their mailing list. Some of us maybe send out warnings to victims, some leave it where it is, some start baiting the scammer, but there are times where people (even people that call themselves "scambaiters", even fans of "big youtube channels") with "very little braincells" decide to do this.


They chain mail and spam that mailing list with nonsense and tell that they very well know that he/she is a scammer. You may ask why does this matter? Well this is why.

Because of the chainmail and spam, scammer took down his email. Now as of the result, this Ugandian scammer will just take his mailing list with him and move forward with new email address and be much clever next time.

If someone ever decides to warn people that are on these mailing lists, at least do it this way.

Make sure you avoid sending your warning email to scammers and explain to people why it is a scam.
