So, this is my first bait. Some days ago I was contacted on MS by a 54 yrs. old, graduated engineer, widower since 13 yrs., no kids, last parents, living in NY, working selfemployed in Computers Smile

Already at the first contact I saw it's a scammer. His contact e-mail has had all signs of scam. He invited me in his second e-mail to chat on YIM. I asked him to send me an e-mail and some pics. He did it immediately. I checked out the IP, and yes, Nigeria and even the same internet cafe where the one has been who scammed me in december last year Smile

. Because he contacted me on my profile on MS I told him, that this is the profile of my friend who made bad experiences and that it's me who cares about the account. He stuck it Smile

.

The first e-mail I received then was a questionary with 57! questions.

Here, what I wrote him in answer:
Hi Billy,
did u sent me this e-mail? It seems a bit strange to me. Are you
writing an encyclopedia, maybe?
Please answer the question you sent me first, then I'll give you my
answers.

He answered all the questions and sent them back to me. So I sent him my answers too. Some examples:

01. What time did you get up this morning? haven't watched the clock
02. Diamonds or pearls? gold
07. What food do you dislike? bugs, snakes, spiders
09. What kind of car do you drive? a big one
10. Favorite sandwich? ketchup, mostard and peanut-butter all -in-one
12. Favorite item of clothing? underwear from victoria secrets
13. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? everywhere Smile

22. Are you a morning person or a night person? depends on my mood
23. What is your shoe size? long time ago when i bought shoes
24. Pets? yes
25. Any new and exciting news you'd like to share with us? US? I thought you were ONE person!?
26. What did you want to be when you were little? wanted to grow up
43. Summer or Winter? spring or fall?
44. Hugs or kisses? nothing at all
45. Chocolate or Vanilla? strawberry
46. Coffee or Tea? hot chocolate
49. What is under your bed? dust
50. What did you do last night? sleep
52. Salty or sweet? spicy
53. How many keys on your key ring? several
54. How many years at your current job? some
56. How many towns have you lived in? don't remember
57. Do you make friends easily? yes

Yesterday he sent me FIVE e-mails! I didn't answer one of them. He followed his script in every detail but he seems not very happy to know nothing about me.

His mail:
Morgan XXX
It was nice hearing from you , pls kindly send me a picture of you , i would love to see this woman i am communicating with ............and how was ur nite , Hope u enjoy ur nite , and how is the wqeather like in germany..
much love Billy mark

He even recites the Bible!!!

IS 26:3-4; 3 John 2; let's remember and study Rom 12:1-2 also.
This text is special for you please reed it Numb. 6:24-26
May He bless us all, as we try to do His will and follow His guidance.
I m very thankful to know you love the Lord also, (I haven't said that, until this point I didn't say anything about me, only that I am 45 yrs. old, widow with one daughter, nothing else Smile

)

In his following e-mail he always spoke about how religious he is, who he is and so on blablabla - awful!!!! banghead

Yesterday evening I connected to YIM and sent an add request.
I told him: Now I'm here, you aren't there. You sent me so much stuff to read! I have less time. Maybe I'm back tomorrow.

This morning I went online and he was there. I only spoke a moment with him (spoke? I like to spit!) and told him I'm at work and will be back this evening. Apparently he was talking to someone else the same moment.

I'm going to see what future will bring and I keep you informed Smile

I've found on YIM if you don't answer within about 30 seconds they buzz you (when they're being attentive) ... I have started to do that...buzz them when they don't immediately respond

and if there is a min. lag I tend to tell them "it's obvious you're doing something else, buzz me when you have time to talk" and close the window - generally they're buzzing you right away -- and when they wander off start buzzing them again...

asking "are you there" every 30 seconds or so also gets to be very annoying...especially accompanied with a buzz...

and when you get their full attention (they are actively chatting with you) tell them the door bell rang and you have to answer it, or if you have children - one of them needs you, etc...make them wait for you but don't give them enough time to start a new chat with someone else

Since I'm the first to respond, I'll say it -- make sure you bait safely & read the stickies Wink

they really are invaluable...

Gianna: It is very interesting about the questionnaire. I was also contacted on MS by someone who is obviously a scammer and his email traced to Nigeria. His second email was a list of 34 questions. Some were mundane, favorite color, what are you looking for in a man, but many of the others were very sexually explicit. My favorite one though was "Would you ever hit your woman?" I wrote him, very affronted, but he still demands they be answered. And the gender mistake was because he was thinking about me and typed woman instead of man. He is still waiting. He IMs me every now and then, but I ignore him.

Ivana: Thanks a lot for your tips, I'll try them on him Very Happy

and yes, I took precautions to bait safe. I read all the informations in here and I got a mentor, too. I also have read a lot of your stories which made me laughing :rofl:

Syrinx: Yes, they do a lot of mistakes, so stupid

My lad is a graduated engineer and his english is so bad even to me and I'm no native speaker. Wink

Hi Gianna,
Welcome to the forum. I've had a couple of lads send me a list of questions to fill out. I'm wondering if they re use our answers on potential victims?
I too asked them to send me their answers first, and they are quick to do so. Their answers will occasionally contain gender confusion. Laughing

I then "forget" to send my answers and we move on.

I like Ivana's tips to use in YIM with a lad. I love to buzz them when I know they are chatting with potential victims. Twisted Evil

Hi Gianna,

Glad to see you are having a go at baiting, there are many dedicated romance baiters here who will be able to help you if you have any questions.

I must confess that I didn't read all of the email you recieved but the questions he sent you would already have been answered by the lad as part of his script, try asking some new questions of your own, one at a time of course Wink

Hi, I wasn't here for several days, Gianna caught a heavy cold Crying or Very sad

. I've left this Lad because it was impossible to get him on YIM.

But I got a chance and have a new one. I just chatted with him. I didn't receive an e-mail from him now, but I'm asking for this evening, when we'll meet again.

First YIM-Contact on 01/15/09
(I've forgotten to safe the first part of the text, i was already gone, because he hadn't answered)
He contacted me on MS - yesterday I was swallowed by scammers! -. He's 45 yrs. old, has an 11 yrs. old daughter, is an civil engineer, works as a CEO, living in Liverpool, wife died 3 yrs. ago, but he doesn't want to talk about, puts him in a bad mood.
Note: The Lads seem to learn!!! Some of them who contacted me yesterday have some friends on their profile! This one too.
