Ok so here is my first bait ever. No outside help. It is still ongoing so I would love pointers!

For the sake of organization My emails will be in blue. the scammers emails will be in red and my commentary will be in black.

Ok so it all starts right after I set up my fake email and sign up for a few guestbooks. A few hours later I find a new mesage in my inbox:

Attn: John Doe

Ok so I decide this will be a good bait to start with. So I shoot back a email with a blured and fuzzy copy of a passport:

Hello Micheal,
My daughter Jenny needs this money to help with her surgery. My only question is: is this legal? Attached is a copy of my passport.

John

I recieve this email a few minutes later....he seems pretty eager:

Attn: John

I wish to make you understand that this is not a do or die affair,you are not in any way forced to fulfill the obligation of completing this action, rather it is optional,is either you come in person and sign for the release of this ATM card, or you send the fee of $850usd as the delivery charge via money gram.

Mind you we got an email from the FBI instructing us strictly not to make any illegal demand from you are they are monitoring every bit of this transaction from their monitoring network and we shall abide by the rules and regulations governing the banking system here as it shall not profit me or any staff anything to cheat you out of your right.

So, as soon as we receive the receipt of this payment or see you here in person, the transaction will be completed and you shall have your ATM CARD in peace and joy and the pin will be issued to you for you to start withdrawing with your activated ATM CARD.

Note: For More information, Please Call any of these telephone numbers: (+234) 7030484446, (+234) 8032350507 as soon as you receive this letter.

So then I go and set up the fake western union transfer from one of the site (mctn i think) I found here and send him the info:

Hello.

I send the money under the tracking number: 82a0251f7af8137d44bcadcebaa4b94e

Go to the url: http://mtcn.secure.la

If you want me to forward the email from western union I can

John

So now he is interested I think so he sends me an email:

Attn: JoeDoe

The content of your email is well noted and understood.As you were instructed in our previous email.
Send all the payment details as you were told to do and scan a copy of the payment information very clearly now for reference and easy pickup of the money to avoid any delay or hitch in this transaction.

Ok so now I go and generate a fake Western union reciept and send it to him with a little slap because I felt he was talking down to me:

I will not get talked down too. If you want me to comply more I think I deserve a little more respect. Attached are my forms

John

Ok so now they are all happy that they got a nice bait and ask me to call:

Attn: John Doe

The scanned copy of the western union money transfer payment receipt was received couple of mins ago.

Henceforth you are advised to call any of the below numbers for instructions because you should be receiving your ATM CARD before this time tomorrow through FedEx courier service company.
Waiting for your call now.

At this point I'm like "Okay, now to try to start to get him off script". So I cancel the fake western transfer and start bugging him about terrorism:

I want you to keep this to email. I'm not going to give up my address to just anyone. and also I want to make sure that I'm not sponsoring terrorists. If you could consent to fill out a few forms to confirm this then I will not cancel the western union transaction.

John

After this happens I get a fake email from the FBI......But its a bout something from Nigeria.....Yea that makes sense......

Attention:Doe John.

Sequel to the discovery made through our internet network intelligent
monitoring/surveillance team that you have a transaction going on as
inheritance payment in the tone of $850,000usd which have now been
completed by the Central Bank of Nigeria.In an agreement with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and in conjunction with the International Monetary
Fund(IMF) and the United Nations (UN),this is to officially inform you
that we have verified the transaction after close monitoring and found out
that the transaction is genuine and legitimate.

There is a problem with the $850usd which you sent yesterday to the
Central Bank of Nigeria.You are advised to call or go to the Western Union
payment office where you made the payment and tell them to complete the
transaction for the receiver Charles Woodi Osuji by name to be able to
pick up this fee of delivery or else there is bound to be delay in
receiving your ATM card.

person of Dr Michael Dickson for immediate delivery of your ATM CARD
today.

picking up the fee to complete this transaction.

So according to his email he actually went and tried to recieve the money at WU:

Attn: John Doe

The scanned copy of the western union money transfer payment receipt was received couple of mins ago receiver has tried to pick up the money but they are saying that the Money Transfer Control number is not correct.

So now I'm started to get a feel for this (I think) and I send him this little thing back:

Hello,
I canceled the transfer. I did not know what these funds were going for. I need you to fill out forms and prove you are not a scammer before I will resend.

John

So after this email apparently he is angry with me. From the tone very angry:

Attn: John Doe

This is to officially inform you that calling back the $850usd you sent is a neglect to this office.
How dare you do that?

Have it in mind that it will profit me nothing or any other staff here to cheat you for no reason.
No one wants to be an escape goat as none wants to violate laws abiding the rules and regulations abiding the banking system here.

You, stop delaying this whole thing,Go right now and resend the fee.
Please reconfirm to us your house address for the delivery of your ATM CARD.
We are sorry for any inconveniences caused to you by this office in long run of this transaction.

Do this now to make sure that the delivery of your ATM CARD takes place today.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Help us to serve you better,and we also wish to let you know that the FBI are aware of this on going transaction ,we are being monitored by the higher authority so no one have the right as far as FBI, and CBN is concerned to conduct any illegal act.

Please reconfirm to us the payment receipt as soon as you send the money now.

at this point I feel he is starting to get a little off script so I send him an email with the P.R.A.T. forms for him to fill out:

I am aware that the FBI is watching. Also I am aware I asked you to fill out forms and then this transaction will go through. As you as you comply and send me the filled out forms. I will resend the funds.

If you want to reach me my phone number is 206-202-2907

The forms are attached to this email. All 6 will need to be filled out to ensure that I am not funding a terrorist cell.

John

This is as far as I've gotten but I hope I'm doing ok. Any pointers are helpful! Also I would love to get more people in on this but I don't know how, any suggestions?

Thanks,
B&T

So far so good. You're doing everything textbook, which is great for a first bait. He's playing along as well. To keep him longer start emailing him concerns about the business, security issues you have, what he had for breakfast, how long has he doing business... Get personal with him. Stringing this out is your goal, but so far I can't fault the knowledge you have about baiting and our various techniques. Very Happy

Ok so now he got back to me and he's snippy! Hey but atleast he attached a ID! (its pretty bad but I can post if anyone cares to see!)

Attn: John Doe

We have received your email and the forms you have given us to fill.But have it in mind that the Central Bank of Nigeria are above of this negligence and disrespect.
A personalty like me in the Central Bank should be respected no matter what.

We have therefore forwarded copies of these forms which you send for us to fill to FBI for reference purposes.

So for peace to reign, i hereby attach a copy of my staff id card which you have requested for as proof and also a copy has already been sent to FBI.
Feel free and lets have this transaction completed.
Help us to serve you better and try to pick up your phone as we keep calling to communicate you but it keep entering into answering machine.
Pick your calls now.

Note: For More information, Please Call any of these telephone numbers: (+234) 7030484446, (+234) 8032350507 as soon as you receive this letter.

So I send to forms again with a better explaination:

Hello
I am aware of the Central Bank's status. I am also aware of terrorism. I beg of you, please fill out these forms. If I do not make sure you are not terrorists and it turns out you are, I will be fired from my job at the USPS. I beg of you please fill out my forms.

I attached the forms again. Please take the 10 minutes to fill them out so we can continue with this transaction!

I love the way your character has such a creative name.

Anyway, if you need something to waste his time, try Deuzer's receipt generators.

^ Thats a pretty good one. And no that is my not cell. That is my K7. And yea the name is something that I just started with but I will probably change it when I go and do other baits.

Also the story continues: I got a email from the "President of Nigeria". IT was from a yahoo account......
