Am I doing something wrong here?

Why is it that about 80% of my lads refuse to cease using scripts?

I introduce myself, they send a script. I ask them a question, they send the same script. I send them a form to fill in, the send the same script. I issue an ultimatum, they send the SAME DAMN SCRIPT!

I especially lean towards questions and comments that aren't covered by their drawn out garbage, but they send it anyway.

Is this common or am I just missing some divine secret to making them engage their one and only brain cell?

Lads stick to a script as long as they can because it's what they're comfortable with and it's less likely to give away their often poor grasp of western culture and the English language.

They also don't want to waste their time with someone until they think they have you firmly hooked.

@sir scam alot: I get that, but do they really expect people to send them money if they deluge them with the same letter countless times without answering questions.

Let me give you an example: (very paraphrased)

[insert ultimatum here]

Lad wrote:

[insert contact details of barrister here]

Obviously my actual letters are much more proffessionally written and the scammer's letters are incomprehensibly longer but the points are the same.

I'm not trying to say, "Are the lads really so stupid?" because that's something I already know. I'm just wondering how they think they'll ever get their money without taking a more personalized approach.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 2:16 am

De-education perhaps. I think they are possibly so terrified of getting offscript that they stick to it at all costs. My guess is you have a rather dumb one and perhaps it's best to let him think his approach works.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 2:19 am

^^Good point. I shall give that a go.

'Twould be rather ironic if it works, though. Letting them believe that sticking to a script works just to get them off-script.

EDIT: Typing error corrected.

Try this: Just send him something he could never expect, a family picture, a picture of a $300.000 Mercedes/Ferrari, anything to make him see that this is different. He might not even read English, but now he has to go ask a friend what the H@!! you want now. Wink

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 2:30 am

Whatever it takes. Even better is getting them to adopt/steal a script that is completely nonsensical like these:

Not a bad idea. I'll send him a picture of a naked lad.

That's brilliant. How would I go about doing that, though?

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:10 am

Make up a bizarre script like that, make it sound like another lad and then send it out to hundreds. A few dumb ones will pick it up and run with it. We like to give those extra special attention so they think they're on to something brilliant. Laughing

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:12 am

Simple as that, eh?

If a lad ever contacts you and the letter is about sex-changes and beastiality, you know where the idea spawned from.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:17 am

Make up a lad-sounding email address like [email protected]

Then, send out the script to as many lads as you can in your BCC field. You'll get some responses back, some will laugh at you. The dumb and dumberer ones will take it and use it as their own.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 7:37 am

They get off the script very quickly once you send them a fake WU receipt. Smile

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:05 am

^^Ah, yes. The joys of having a printer and scanner.

I love scambaiting but I'm not willing to spend any money on it. But what I can do is work on making authentic looking digital forgeries. Thanks for the advice.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:29 am

Tell him what he want's to hear. Ask about his family, his girl friend, his dog.
He knows what he want's, and we know what he want's, but don't tell him he's not going to get it. be kind, be understanding. While it might make you throw up, he will love it, and before long, he will think he's winning. Then ask for a picture [ and we all know it's going to be fake]
as your thinking about him , all the time

But the important thing is to let him think, he's in control

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:38 am

But that's the thing, you see. Regardless of what I ask these mugus, they always send back a script. Be it personal, demanding, insulting, polite, submissive, etc.

Rarely do I get a scammer that puts any effort into his letters. I feel like a cheap date.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:44 am

It sounds as though you need to try the old ASEM ploy to a lad then Wink

He won't have a script to follow. You will be in complete control. IE the name, sex, religion, occupation, even which country he is supposed to be in. Just feed him enough info to work with and dangle the money in front of his nose.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:47 am

ASEM?

Accidentally Sent E Mail Very Happy

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 9:08 am

Accidently Sent E-Mail.

Just send something like this to a lad, as though you have been communicating with him for ages, but this time you have accidently sent it to the wrong person.

Quote:

Dear (Just pick a name you fancy)

What a day I have had of it. I went into town and sorted the transfer as you requested. Yes I will be able to send you the money in cash by Western Union. So what your friend (Pick another name) told us both is a pack of lies. I hope that you will dismiss her immiediately. You don't need someone like that working for you and trying to steal your hard earned money.

I will go to the bank first thing in the morning and draw out the $8,500 and send it to you. Now that we have discovered the truth about your secratary, I think it would be more prudent if we change the security Question and Answer...what would you suggest this time?

I think what you are doing is admirable. The children will be so pleased, and just in time for Christmas too. God will only bless you for your kindness.

Give my regards to (Pick a name) and ask her for that chicken lip recipe she promised. Also how is her foot doing after the accident? I had a friend once who lost the whole leg after a similar accident.

Ok thats it for now. Don't forget to send me the Q & A you wish me to use, and where you want me to send the money too.

Best wishes as always,

(Pick a name)

Thanks for the clarification Duckmeister and Cherrie.

My first reaction was "Does that really work?" but then I remembered that this is the lads we're talking about, after all.

Believe you me, the success of the ASEM is directly proportional to the lads greed.

Read my Eater University tutorial here and you will see what I mean....

Be they NOK, check lads, job lads, romance vlads, hitmen etc , they will all jump on the ASEM gravy train for a quick dolla.

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 11:50 am

Nick:

With regard to the WU receipt, there are lost of them floating around. Look for Obi Wan's posts, he has a link in his siggy, or Mike Hawk. They both have good digitized ones that the lads just seem to LOVE, and they are free Smile

Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:50 pm

@The Man: Thanks, I shall look into that. Do you think the lads would notice if I fill it out digitally in authentic-looking fashion?

Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:15 am

As my current lads were tiring and I fancied a change I could not resist the ASEM modality just as an experiment and had to borrow the script with appropriate name changes inserted...

I love the last one, not only trying to pocket my friends money but wants some up front fees....my script reply to all of these was edited to imply that the reciever was a ladyboy or some such nonsense hopefully to upset the scammers..

Hi Durant you old joker, seems you are using another email address you spudoolick..guess with all that interweb fraud you cannot be too careful..

I was trying to organise your transfer payment for which you asked me to send you $8500 to pay for the urgent medical treatment after you managed to lodge that 'item' where the sun does not shine after the unfortunate incident involving a rubber band, tin of fish paste and teaspoon.

Just one thing I thought you were in Thailand on a search for those ladyboys you so love to talk about especailly that one with the bigh whatsists. I take it from your email you latest one is this [insert reciever name], what is she like and does she have NSFW CONTENT you really want!!!

If you do not need the money then no bother as I am quite happy to keep hold of it. Enjoy you holiday

Poor grasp of the English language, they're mass-scamming and don't have the time to individually reply to everything, etc.

I've got a real village idiot on my hands. He sent me a letter (third or so email) asking me to contact the bank president/king of siam/Elvis/whoever at the email below. He forgot the part that starts with the @ and the gmail.com/yahoo.com stuff that goes after it. He sent four, maybe five emails (I sent a suitably cryptic "Please clarify"), and then he got the last part tacked on. Too bad it doesn't work, as the clickable email says: Email:[email protected]
Sorry, the sec'y doesn't know that you have to erase the email: part. Razz
