Don't stuff beans up your nose, and I definitely do not condone anyone trying anything like this, but it seems like you could use the army of scammers out there as free labor in launching a DDoS attack against someone simply by crafting an email sounding like you were raring to shell out some money if only they were to contact you.

From: Adolph Hitler <adolph@hitler.com>

As we discussed, I am ready to invest $400,000 in your company. But I am still waiting for you to {call us,contact us,come to our office} at {1-800-HITLER, 333 Third Reich Road} to let us know if you accept the terms we agreed on.

[etc etc]

Sincerely,

Adolph Hitler

Set up an automated process that replies to as many spammers as possible using your newly minted message (getting scammers to email you is trivial), and the army of email scammers in the world would surely roll into action.

Maybe you could make some money if you had them call a 1-900 number?
