That's 3000 - 5000 emails to sort through in the hopes that one person sent his personal information.

The bogus email volume should be smaller/a believable size, and should contain auto-generated bogus personal information, which should make it a complete waste of time for the scammer. Especially if the Fuzz are alerted to watch for the personal info they're about to try using... ;)

A smaller volume of bogus emails would defeat the purpose, which is to overwhelm the scammer and force him to give up on that particular scam and start all over with a new return email address.

With a large volume of misc. mail, they know they're being attacked. But with a small volume of valid looking garbage data they're being toyed with in a cat and mouse fashion. Think about it. Their 'product' is bulk quantities of stolen identities. If their 'product' can be tainted...so will their reputation be. Making them a paria to their buyers.
It's like giving them a full clip of blank ammo in the middle of a fire fight.

If you have free long distance call [REDACTED] and fill up the mailbox. It is a scammer phone number. Don't forget to block your caller id. The goal is to fill up the mail box so no real victims get through

So now DoCo is a DDOS service?
mouser:
As much as it might be justified to call and harass spammers into stopping, and as evil as spammers are, we can't be posting people's phone numbers or emails on this forum, sorry.
