Judging by how lame this scam is, I'm beginning to think that maybe my time is more valuable than his.

I'm kind of a newbie baiter though, and perhaps this is an easy one i can take on in order to learn the ropes a bit, what do you guys think?

This is what's known as a "Lotto Lad" -- the general sense on these guys is that they're not as fun to play with -- but that should not serve as a discouragement to you.

Here's a great tutorial on how to "straight bait" which is a good way to get started in baiting and is particularly good for Lotto Lads.

I would reply to all three addy's
"Thank you,

Your character "
And see what comes out of it.

welcome to this forum Very Happy

yes, lads format vary in quality. Lazy lads are either unexperienced (and hence make good baits) or simpl lazy (and make poor baits).

most lotto lads are no fun, to start a Next Of Kin is most rewarding IMHO.

but the most important rule is: try it out for yourself.

and of course: never invest more time than the scammer.

so bill2's advise sounds very reasonable to me Cool
