I've recently rerolled on a high pop realm and get 2-3 spams a day and i've been trying to figure out creative/fun ways to deal with them so its not such an annoyance.
Heres one of the best so far, When they ask if you'd like to buy gold, simply ask: "Can I have a free sample?" though you can mix it up any way you'd like.
What about yours?

These gold sellers are paid $3.00 an hour to spam just one message in trade and in selected pms. There is a least chance they would even know english or know what they are doing. So I will feel guilty for messing around with them.
By the way. I did spam "selling 20x of Ebonweave for 20s" right after someone spammed the gold pam. Not sure if thats messing around with the gold seller.

Well i'm not talking about the automated ones where you can tell its just someone copying and pasting, or a spam bot, i'm talking about the ones that actually talk to you and try to sell it.

Having spent many occasions emptying my ignore list of gold spammers such as 'mgdxnmmnd' and 'sukbdrkgeb', I now have taken the advice of a friend and get myself on their ignore list. Conversation goes like this:
whispers: Hi! We have 35k gold on this server! Can me intrest yoo in buy some cheapest wow gold? If not thankyou for time!
replies: Spam?
replies: Spam!
replies: Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!
replies: Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!
replies: Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!Spam!
is ignoring you.

My account was keylogged about a month before battle.net became compulsory so I detest gold sellers to a greater extent than most. The pricks changed my password, then changed my default email address, then created a battle.net, so recovering my account was quite involved.
If it's in trade chat I usually just /2 and start ranting, abusing the sh!t out of them and all the trade trolls join in and we make the gold seller feel about as loved as a trodden-on cigarette butt.
If they whisper me, i usually /w Fu<k off you piece of sh!t.
In both cases I right click and report spam.
Not the most imaginative way of doing things, but I enjoy it anyway.

I know when a Gold Seller is whispering me, simply due to the broken english. Such as...
"Hi ,are there? <playername>?"
If currently busy, my replies are usually...
"No, i'm not here, now bugger off!"
"NOIAMNOTGOINGTOBUYGOLDRIGHTNOW!SOGETLOST"
"No, not buying gold, pester some other lowbie" - My, 'Polite' response, and I use 'lowbie' because they never whisper me on my main...
"How, my good sir, would YOU like to buy some gold? I have plenty here! why not buy some! it's all for sale! Buybuybuy! You still there? Helloooo..." - I did this once, on my main, I never got a gold spammer on that toon again.
You mean you OVER DID this on your main and never got a gold spammer on that toon ever since.

I'm curious how they got your password... unless of course you got a keylogger from going to one of their sites...
On topic: I just got the addon "Spam me not" Ignores there spam and it also will report them.
Easy peasy

I block the spam, and auto-report them using
BadBoy: Anti Spam Automatic Reporter
. As a result, I no longer see these messages, and am much happier for it.

On Moonguard my first response to gold sellers on trade is normally "SUSAN!"
Then I promptly report spam.

2 phrases always make me feel better when im bothered by them, since 99% of them are chinese it seems
"ni ma de ba shu gei wo ri" - your mother is a stupid wh*re
"wo cao ni ba bei zi zu zong" - f*ck eight generations of your ancestors
^ my personal favorite
