I have a new pet (care of Vic), and he is asking for a picture.

What does anyone think of a somewhat matronly, chunky politician as my pic? She has several pic on the website. Is that a too visible figure?

I've used androgynous Pat from the old SNL tv show and they didn't seem to care.

Who are we talking about here?

As OBL says, use what you like. I use Huw Edwards, a BBC newsreader for all my love baits. Sometimes the scammer won't even look, but if they do, it's no matter if you choose a second or third rate celeb.

There is some debate as to whether you're arming them with pics that they can re-use, and in the case of African love lads it's arguably possible. With Eastern European vlads you can use what you like, as they'll always have their own stolen pics anyway. Make sure you use public source stuff, and then you're not making their job any easier.

^^Anything will do and to prevent re-use by the lad, mark it. "From character name to my dear friend/business partner/savior in troubled times XXXXXX " and make sure they can't re cut it so they loose the text and re-use the picture. A nice personalized token of friendship/trust from you to him Twisted Evil

Thanks for the hint - I may try that.

He is an impatient lad - I told him it would take a couple of days and he is sending IMs that he is waiting. This lad may prove amusing - I teased him about patience being a virtue.

I just started back with baiting and am using a Mexican soap opera actress by the name of Adela Noriega, she just screams the pretty girl next door. Laughing

I'm using the governor of Kansas for my "victim's" picture. I really doubt lads would recognize someone like that. They don't seem to recognize famous actresses; politicians are pretty obscure unless you see their picture in your newspaper all the time. (Hillary Clinton is a little more famous than I would try to use, for example, but I am new and not as bold as many other baiters.)

Politicians are great for a variety of formal and casual pics -- the only thing you wouldn't be able to do is a sexy pic.

I use a variety of retired s p o r t s m e n, no lad or vlad is likely to know them Very Happy

It also depends on the bait, as you can have your profile story embedded into it. e.g. One of my characters likes horses, so I have a picture of him standing next to a horse - no photo chop necessary.

I take the safe search off on Google Images and let my imagination fly. I want a person that is a very public but has images that look like a person next door and more than a plethora of ummm... nude photos. I use a image handling program and save them as huge TIFFs and send them away. I wait until they tell me they love me before I send the naked photos. Its generally the third or fourth email. Laughing

I'm not too concerned with reuse as one photo would take the scammer an hour to send.

@Connie

Thanks for sharing that. I have appreciated your baits and I love that tip!

I actually found the perfect woman for the job - AND, better yet, she looks close enough to a certain dominatrix for some of the dom's pics to pass for her. I might have tell lover boy about some of my peculiar tastes after we get to know each other better.

The one great thing about politicians is that they can be real camera hounds. I found some great pics of me with a couple people from the office and me with dad. And lets not forget the corset one . . . . Twisted Evil
