SPAM idiopathic animal product and mail box fodder

Okay I'm really writing about email spam but how could I resist a reference to our favorite canned protein source, (I know everyone one prefers soylent green but that's not canned and it gives me gas). Ooo shiny!

Okay Internet spam. To generate most spam the little social deviants send out computer viruses that turn your computer into an email sending zombie. These silicon powered drones then fill our mail boxes with offers of various forms of enhancements, cheap medication, or fake emails from your bank. So people ask why do they do it? Simple, there are enough people that respond to these things that you can make a great living. Simply put, its stupid peoples fault. If no one answered they'd quit and move on to better schemes.

This is also tied to identity theft. Because it's also how they steal credit card numbers and so on. One article I read said the going rate for all the information you need steal someones identity and empty their accounts is $20. Obviously there is no shortage of supply, and also speaks to the sad state of most of our bank accounts.

Throughout history no society has been able to eliminate stupidity. So long as Spam and Identity theft depend on it they will have ample supply. Since you can't fix stupid, I propose an alternative approach. My solution depends on a group effort (yes I know it's an inherent flaw). Since cutting off the flow of information is unfeasible, we should flood the spammers with bad information. I declare a processed meat war, let us fight fire with fire, give them a taste of their own medicine, and spam the spammers. If everyone replied to two or three spam emails a week with bogus credit card numbers and fake names the vermin would be so overwhelmed they could never actually find the poor saps looking to enlarge their manhood. Banks should leave laptops with whole databases full of fake accounts in cars just waiting to be stolen.

So am I a genius that has found the first viable solution to both unsolicited emails and identity theft or should I go back to Immunology?
