I think I dodged a bullet on this one. I was expecting one of my current baits to contact me via IM at what would be 4 pm in Massachusetts. So, when at 4:15 I got buzzed, I started in as if it were the lad I was expecting. You can see for yourself what happened. I think I pulled the stick out of the fire, but we’ll see for sure tomorrow.

Keep your fingers crossed that I haven’t stupidly lost a lad. (BTW, he says he’s in UK, but his IP comes back to Israel – no doubt a satellite.)

I wouldn't worry. If anything it might work in your favour. They COULD thing they are being baited... they will probably be thinking you are being scammed by someone else and fear a chop.

Don't sweat it and don't mention it again with the lad.

Just go invisible on him for a few days, ignore him and then come back like nothing ever happened. Remember, you're doing several lads at one time but they're probably trying more than that in victims. They don't archive chats on cafe machines and he'll probably only save your contact details in his email. By Thursday he won't even have a clue.

One thing I wouldn't have done though is apologize for anything. You could have even slapped him for not reminding you who he was from the beginning, skipped all the explanations and went right to drilling him about what he's been doing.

LOL, and once when I was baiting a lad, a friend of mine came online and wanted to chat with me. I typed out, "Just give me a second to get rid of this idiot scammer who's trying to get my bank account information and I'll be right with you." I hit send and went back to the lad's chat window. Ooos! Embarassed

There was the message I thought I'd sent to my friend. I didn't eve try to rescue that one. I just killed the account I was using, created a new one and came back an baited him about two weeks later.

Lads are disposable.

When I first started this (just last year but it feels like a decade), Wayne (my adopted mentor) used to slap me all around for being timid and apologetic with the lads. Now when I chat and email with them I always remind myself, I am in control. I'm the boss of this bait.

You've been doing this less than a year!? But, but, but -- you're so good at it! You've even reformed a scammer!

I will remember your advice. Cool

Titania, Seeing as it is a guy, next time you see him on, cater to his ego a bit. Ask him how was the club? he didnt meet any other women there, did he? Act a little jealous and be just a little more receptive to him. I am sure everything will be on track then. Dont even mention the mistake, like the others have said.
