I like to think I would but I would but I would want some kind of decent reward because if the tables were turned I would be extremely grateful to the person who is willing to return my btc.

This is just someone advertising some bs. Just make sure that you don't spend all that 3 satoshis in one place though! It can be very rewarding for people to send out advertisement spam like that, 1 satoshi is only worth $0.0000035. So if they use 10 dollars worth of btc and send that out, they can send out that to 2,857,142 people. Pretty effective use of advertising if I don't say so myself.

Fees might change those numbers though. I think it's possible to pay multiple addresses at once in a single transaction and pay only a single fee. Not sure if it would be possible to send 1 satoshi to millions of people in this way however.

Not sure if it would be possible to send 1 satoshi to millions of people in this way however. Since bitcoin fee is calculated per transaction size (in unit of KB) rather than per transaction, fitting a huge amount of outputs in one single transaction wouldn't help much. Also, according to the formula found on http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1195/how-to-calculate-transaction-size-before-sending, a transaction with 1 million outputs will have a size of over 34 MB which is way over the current block size limit 1MB.

Size of the transaction (bytes) = 148 * number_of_inputs + 34 * number_of_outputs + 10 0.0001 BTC is required as transaction fees for 1000 bytes http://bitcoinfees.com/

Not sure if such 100-btc mistake/refund happened before, but I have read a few cases of people making mistakes in raw transactions, paying huge tx fee (a few btc), and getting refund from the mining pools.

You don't need to worry about the safety your bitcoin. The spamming tx has nothing to do with stealing your bitcoin. You should never re-use your addresses for better privacy whether there are spamming tx or not.

Sexy Spam using Bitcoin ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif) ... don't worry because transactions are public and so your address can be visible to everyone, but don't worry because it's very difficult to associate an address to a person.

Not sure if such 100-btc mistake/refund happened before, but I have read a few cases of people making mistakes in raw transactions, paying huge tx fee (a few btc), and getting refund from the mining pools.
Indeed I actually did pay (at the time) the biggest transaction fee (around 110 BTC from memory) due to doing a raw transaction after days of working 15+ hours (so a stupid mistake) and was luckily refunded at least 100 BTC of it (I forget the exact figure but it's recorded on this forum somewhere). If the OP is worried about the silly dust amount you can do a combination of "setting your fee" and "coin-control" to "get rid of it". You can see I did this here: https://blockchain.info/tx/4fc1db306120a944324b78e4a299591a61fbc1eeed91bc5b3292d0a2420cec35
