5. fill it out
with bad info. waste their fucking time. set up a hotmail account with fake info and send your reply out of there. yeah it'll cost you some time, but it fucks them up bad. they do this because it is quick and easy. If they can be slowed down-it also draws attention to them when they try to use bad info.

I hate these people. They cost everyone money.
