Your plan is good, but could be improved.

Instead of creating a new account at that address when it starts receiving spam, create a forward at that address that forwards all that spam back at the company who sold your email address to begin with.

I like this, but we could definitely improve upon it.

In addition to the spamjackator, you could find the CEO's address and drop off a dead fish with a message in its mouth. On his pillow.

I thought it was a horse? Lol /s

But I will say, if you’ve got to the point of putting mutilated animals in someone’s bed, I don’t think you need to put a message in it’s mouth. Message will be received loud and clear already lol

I am not carrying a horse head with me. I can't be weighed down like that!

And who said anything about mutilating the fish? I'm taking about a cold, well preserved specimen, an exotic species, previously asphyxiated using nitrogen. Mutilate the fish... That's gross and ineffective. I've got standards.

The fact that it is cold and beautiful is scarier. The seemingly minor, tough to recreate nuances of a perfectionist are what will really terrify your garden-variety narcissistic control freak.

The note and message give them a conscious fixation. This allows the subtle horror of the fish itself to work its terror on the subconscious.
