Hey, just signed up on this forum after rolling on the floor laughing at the letters archive. Comedy gold.
Actually, I'm not entirely new to this. Back when I worked at a computer e-tailer on college (a competitor to newegg), I worked in the accounting department, and I dealt with most of the credit problems on the orders.
I was mostly looking for fradulent orders and cancelling them, but occasionally, we'd have a little fun with the guys. Our website used to pull data from FedEx if the package was shipped, so we'd generate fake ones to make the mugus think their stuff had shipped. They'd email back several times trying to pretend to be "upset customers" that their goods had not been delivered. Hilarity ensued.
Uh, sure pal. An order of 37 laptops to be shipped overnight to Lagos, Nigera, with a credit card that was reported stolen 6 months ago. Let me get RIGHT ON THAT!
Anyway, I have a few fun ideas for scambaiting that we used to do at work that I'd be more than happy to share with you all. Look forward to hanging around! |

Welcome to Eater, hoorah!
Sounds like you will fit right in here. Glad you joined us. Hang around, read the stickies, get a mentor, and bait safe. Any questions, we will be happy to answer.
(I think those are the right words. )

I was actually involved with some of the very first of the "bank address switcheroo" fraud.
It was very very confusing for us as merchants because the only tool we have to verify orders was the AVS system, and we were getting matches on the addresses. Then, when we found who lived at those addresses, they said they "took a job online" to repackage items and send them to egypt, russia, nigeria, etc.
Anyway, once we caught on, the lads (although I'd have to say those were slightly smarter lads) were NOT happy with us. I wish I could have taped some of the calls that we had. |

Welcome to Eater, hoorah. Do as Dora says. She's looking out for your safety, while bill2 is away. ( @ Dora) Don't forget, these guys are criminals, and have contacts around the world, perhaps even in your neighborhood, so use a safe IP stripping addy, and all fake details. Have fun here, and we look forward to baiting with you. |

Thanks guys. Yeah, I definitely know they are criminals. I have a pretty good idea of keeping myself safe, but an IP stripping email address is new to me. Will have to read up on that. |

Well, in for a penny, in for a pound. (Thanks, Slap and the vampire! )
hoorah:
I know you will find what you are looking for when you search. But for a little head start, try this from the Nastiest Nurse's thread here:
http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=118738
Quote: |
Before you start. Bait safe. For obvious reasons, this means all your details must be fake. Use none of your personal details. This includes using your home phone or address. You are conversing with criminals. Please bait smart.
Follow this check-list and then jump on in:
* Set yourself up with an anonymous email account that strips your IP. Use gmail, fastmail.fm or hushmail (you can google these yourself)
* For this exercise set-up an account with your baiting character prepared. Make this character believable. You can play any role you like. (Just not a vampire, robot or plank of wood - which has been done, but you'll lose your lad unless you"re careful)
* Set up a web based phone number. This number you can set up with a personalised message for your lads to call and leave messages. www.k7.net or www.J2.com |
And to sign up for a 100% free and wonderful mentor, check out this thread: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=122306
Happy Valentine's Day! Dancing tomorrow, Slap? |
