I dunno if this has been done or tried before and if so excuse me.

I was thinking about doing a bait with several baiters.
The idea is that I will create and email account, let those that want in on the bait the name and password of said account.

My idea is that each included baiter would reply to the lad in turn taking the bait in new directions as it progresses.

I would find the lad and do the initial bait until he is hooked.
Then the next person in turn would reply to the lad.

Once the lad replied to that baiters email, The next person in turn would reply next.

Of course everyone would have to stay in character to the original email.

If this has been tried... again, excuse me and forget this post.

If anyone is interested, let me know.

PS: I saw another post that had a similar idea but not quite the same so, please forgive me if I am stepping on toes.

There's an endless supply of lads and so you should feel free to experiment on them as much as you like - in fact why not set up a few boxes and play several lads that way?

There are no toes to step on, all we want to do is cause pain and chaos in the world of scammers - your plans are no less valuable than anybody elsest and indeed we encourage experimentation! If your modality works well more people will benefit from your ideas Smile

Everything we tend to do here is based on experiments that went right. Go for it!

^^^ Already doing that. Although I am new to this site, I have been baiting for a few years now on and off.
Just thought I might try something different is all.
And thanks for the encouragement. Smile

^^ I remember some members did this a year or two ago and they really had fun doing it as each baiter would put their own attitude into their turn at the mailings.

No need to worry about stepping on toes. Feel free to reuse other baiter ideas, that's why they are posted.

Have fun running it and making your lads miserable Very Happy

Not so much about your particular idea here, more about group baiting in general:

You have no idea how much FUN it can be! We've just got a 3800 mile safari, which wouldn't have been possible if we weren't in a group.
In a group, you can bat ideas about, learn from each other, share the workload, use other's resources (& vice versa)

The benefits go on! Go for it, you'll love it Wink

I was around when some others did this very thing and it went down well if I remember.

I would be happy to take part.

Ok then. I will start my luring of a lad.
Does anyone have any preference for what type of lad to bait?

Check lad?
Lotto lad? is out
Inheritance lad?
Romance lad?

I was thinking of keeping the number of baiters around 10.

So far it is:

1. drbo
2. smartbomb
3. Master of Puppets
4. mr.scissorkick
5. bruckner
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

I will update as the list grows.

Once the list is full I will take an unscientific poll to ask
1. is the baiter m or f
2. the baiters name
3. baiters occupation
4. modality

any other suggestions are always welcome of course.

^^^ Im easy. Just one thing I would mention is that we're more likely to string out a successful bait if choose not to opt for a lotto lad. My experience of them is the vast majority of lotto baits tend to be a bit on the brief side.

I wish I could get in on this, but time keeps me down to only 2 or 3 baits at a time at this point.

It'll be fun to watch the bait unfold & check in on your progress though Smile

Any idea on how to notify the baiter that it's his turn?

Count me in anyway Wink

I take it you will notify us when the fun's gonna start?

EDIT: I'd say either go for romance or inheritance... Especially with romance it might become confusing is we change attitude every so often...

Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2009 5:11 pm

Yes, I will notify everyone when it is about to start and when it is their turn (if they aren't paying attention)

So far, 1 vote against lotto lad and one vote for romance.
no, make that 2 for romance. That's my vote also.

Make that 3 for romance... I also have not done a romance scam bait yet.

*bump* hope that is ok and all is understood well? if not, listen listen... calm down, calm down... here is what is going to happen...ok? ok?

What is it with certain mugus that always end a sentence with "OK"?
I have three of them now that do that.

I wanna yell at them for it but don't wish to educate them. It's frustrating. Evil or Very Mad

I'll jump in on this. (I don't know how I'm gonna follow Master Of Puppets though)

Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 3:38 am

count me in. and I vote 'romance' too. Mostly because I haven't done one of those yet Smile

Keep scrolling up for updates.

@drbo: You should add a poll to properly record votes, otherwise I will demand a recount no matter what the outcome.

What are our options?
-Dying widow
-Next of Kin
-Romance
-Dormant Account
-Misc. trunk box
-Charity
-Loan Shark
-Hit Lad
-FBI choppers

Understandably, some of these are rare breeds, so unless we have one in the works, we may not find one.

Mr.scissorkick,

I had thought of this before but not sure how to add it to this thread.

Could you perhaps do that for moi? and make it 100% risky free

BTW... I am still leaning for the romance bait but am open to options.
Charity and loan shark options are good also. Even blackmail...

Pretty sure lotto lads are out... inheritance lads are kinda boring but may be pliable...

trunk box lads.. hmm.. no

I will let you make the poll if that's ok ? ok? ok?

Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:08 am

You have to do it, just edit your first post, and I think it lets you add one.

I don't even think it matters which lad we choose. They'll end up being whatever we want in the end, right?

Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 7:02 am

Romance Baits or Charity baits seem to be the best (in my experience) when you are looking for longevity. The more you can bring emotions into the mix the better.

Cheers!

Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 7:20 am

Right now it's a tight race between romance and romance. Very Happy

Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 4:13 am

Yes, Thank you for pointing out my ineptness in creating polls mr.scissorkick.

Still need a few people to jump aboard!

Ahem.... just checking to see if anyone wants to join in.
