Hi all

I was wondering if anyone has seen this pic before, or knows of a way to somehow find specific pics on the internet.

My scammer just sent it to me and I want to prove to her that I know she's lying.

Any help would be awesome

I've seen it many times before. It's part of what we often call the "lad starter kit" -- pictures and formats that are standard. But it's actually a bit old now, I haven't seen it used in a couple of years. Unfortunately I don't know of a source where you could turn to find it again.

Why do you want to educate your lad by proving he's lying?

We tend not to educate lads as it makes it harder for real vics to spot 'lad errors' etc...

I am not sure how showing the lad that he is lying will further your bait. HE knows he is lying. You know he is lying. If he knows that you know he is lying, you will not be able to bait him any longer.

As the esteemed Juan said above it would cause the lad to look at his script and be better able to fool a real victim. Tell him it is a great picture and move on. You want to cause his brain to hurt, not help him be better at scamming.

Welcome and I hope you understand that this in not a jab at you, rather we are trying to educate you so that you are a better baiter! Very Happy

I tried your pic and it had no matches. I have seen it before. If you need further evidence, perhaps to prove to someone else that it is fake, try posting or running a search from some of the scammers email text.

And as they said: bait, don't educate Wink

As above dont educate but be impressed, it inspires you to greater efforts to get money/WU payment etc etc.
You could also offer some extra for the lady to get a decent haircut and some conditioner.
A load of hair straighteners and hair products to try out in the African humidity coming her way, a laptop or two for her to report back on how they work, via our speedy couriers of course.

If only there was a way of searching the pictures forum for a photo you would find it there.

A lazy lad, next he'll be sending the photo of the trunkbox full of cash, lined with ghastly 1970's wallpaper. Smile

As the others said, never call a lad on his lies, the satisfaction is only temporary, the dumping is permanent, and he may improve his format.

Someday there has to be a thread on the photo most often received - whether it's the classic trunkbox, the coffin scene, or the one EPlochman just posted.

If you really want to prove that your lad is lying send back this picture. The man in the funny hat is Worf's dead barrister. Shocked

ETA: but I agree with the others you don't want to point out their mistakes.

Fake picture????

That's me on the left, handing out a check from the Inheritance Processing Dept of Barclays Bank to the woman on the right, who just won "Scammer of the Month" award for her portrayal as a dying cancer patient.

The woman in the background is a good friend of mine who travels with me throughout West Africa.

Since we are talking about seeing pics...
Has anyone seen the "I AM SERIOUS NOW" pic?

It's a nude lad straddling 2 chairs holding 2 torches with a laptop hanging from his manhood by a string and he has a sign taped to his chest that says "I AM SERIOUS NOW"

I haven't seen any claimants for that one yet.
