I'm not sure if this is the right section... Whatever.

I have a theory that could potentially waste a LOT of a lad's time - spamming his email account to death. If he gets spammed, he will have to scroll through countless emails. It helps if it is done with a different title from a different account. He's obviously going to be looking though at least some of them hoping to find a legit one. That way, he is less likely to find someone who has responded to one of his messages.

Just a skeleton of an idea. I'm bad at explaining things until a question is brought up.

For them it would take 5 seconds or so to open a new account and they are back in business. They would never waste time going through a bunch of spam.

Well... They would lose previous contacts
1) Get an account on some place that would attract tons of baiters
2) Make/Steal/Buy/Etc. Bot to spam scammers on multiple accounts
3) etc.

They would still have their contacts. They will move them to the new one and we will lose any way to track him by email. He is freed from any baiter that may have had him in their sights already.

I guess so. Might as well start baiting... Know any good anonymous emails (ones that hide my IP?)

Gmail is what most of us use but I think fastmail and another are also IP stripprs.

^Gmail is your friend as it strips the IP.

I didn't know gmail stripped the ip! I use gmail all the time, and before I found out that emails had IPs I thought gmail was one of them. Wokay then, new google account time.

Hushmail also strips IPs, that's what I'm using, because using Gmail would interfere with my more legitimate online business.

Bombing a lad's email account is a bad idea as previously mentioned, because it costs them nothing to just start a new one that we have no record of. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. Flooding his phone with calls and texts, however, is useful, because those are harder to replace.
