Hi everyone, I have two scambaits in process. I hope to share some pictures soon. These two are my very first scambaits. I hope to solicit some fresh ideas on time wasting endeavors to send my mugu friends on. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Once in a while you could send him junk text.

Open up any file using notepad, pdf files work well. Go to windows options and make it display file extensions. Change the .pdf to .txt and it will open up in notepad (do this on a copy of the file).

Delete the recognizable / readable bits from the start and end and you have a block of unrecognizable text. Just copy into the mail window and send away.

He will write back to ask what it was, and you can waste a few mails explaining what happened, and then put in place procedures to ensure it does not happen again.

Just tried it, and am still explaining to my lad how, what, and why. Strangely, he does seem to want to talk about it ...

I recomment the verbose modality

Write to your Lad that you have just received a strange e-mail from one Williams Dagogo, of Lagos Nigeria, offering you 30% of $25 million he has in a trunk box as an inheritance from his dead father.

Ask your Lad whether he is working together with Dagogo, or what is the story?

Sit back and watch the sparks fly as your Lad scrambles to assure you that Dagogo is some scamming lowlife Internet fraud star and should never be contacted again... Laughing

You should be able to waste at least a week on the Dagogo sidetrack....

Welcome here Millhouse! If you want to waste your lads time just ask questions, lots of questions. Ask one question at the time about every detail of your "deal". If the lad sends you a document or a form you should fill in tell him you didn't receive it and ask him to send it again. Read the sticky's, bait safe and above all have fun!

Welcome!

Top tip is to just start reading...read more and more of the site and you'll see all sorts of wonderful inspiring timewasters - I'll bet they inspire some things you can try out for yourself too Smile

If the lad is hooked enough and can smell the money, ask him to call you. I sometimes give lads the number to some random organization or hotline with notorious long waiting time saying that it is my work phone.. sometimes I send lads battling with a voice controlled information board for the national railroad system (not in english ) Very Happy

They burn phonecredits and waste time.

@LADBUSTER: We don't usually condone having the lads call innocent people and real phone numbers.

Here is a beautiful customer service phonebank created by a member here (sorry I don't remember who atm): +1-206-905-9742. It has endless menu options, smooth slow voice, and Achy Breaky Heart. What more could a lad want?

Edit: Oh no, that customer service bank is gone! Sad

Sorry

Bohigal - Here is a my master list of phone numbers to use - - WARNING - it is probably wise to test these numbers to make sure they are still (not) working before sending them to a mugu:

Quote:

PHONE NUMBERS
1-206-343-0011

He will get a telephone company recording that says:

Quote:

"This call requires a coin deposit. please hang up momentarily, then redial your call by first depositing the local rate posted on the instruction card, or dial zero for the operator."

When he complains about not being able to reach you, tell him that:

1) He must be dialing wrong because all of your calls are coming through.

2) It must be the phone that he is using. Maybe a surcharge is required to make a call.

3) There is road construction going on in your area, and all of the phone lines got chopped and messed up. Laughing

I do know some "ring busy" numbers. Dial "1" then:

216-421-9887 - Cleveland, OH
310-665-1119 - Santa Monica, CA
877-362-5400 - an extension # can be added to this one

for england:
I saved these from a topic ages ago, dead phone numbers in London to give to 419 scammers, select any of these:

020 7946 0001 all the way up to 020 7946 9999 are unasigned and will be for some time yet.

It's the so-called 'Whistling pickle'. It doesn't literally whistle, but it's probably one of the oddest noises you'll ever hear on a phone

In an other thread, somebody came up with that number:904-241-1080. It seems to be a test line in Florida.
I have not tested it, but a lad has already complained about it, so it seems to work

@bohigal yes I know about that.. what I do is place the lad in either an endless telephone que ( if he waits for 20 min he will get to speak with an operator.. )

or the modality I use most often: have him call a voice controlled, computerized information system. He will waste sometime, get confused and also waste some credits. And no human being will have to speak with him. SInce it is not in english he will not understand what is going on. And then you slap him for not making an effort to call you at your job, you were expecting his call so call again stupid Laughing

I also have an extra cell phone with a prepaid card that I sometime ask lads to call me on.. I set a "phone date" for when walking to work. It is a cool way to start the day, talking to for ex, Charles Soludo or any other cool scam character. It puts a smile on my face anyway.

Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2009 9:24 pm

Ladbuster - I think the problem that Bohigal is pointing out to you is the very possibility that, if he hangs on 'on hold' for 20 minutes, he "gets to speak to an operator."

Annoying an innocent operator is normally viewed as a violation of the ITP rule.

@Ladbuster

when I started baiting, I did the same as you recommended. It took the eater community a while to convince me that pestering innocent 3rd parties with lads ist not a good idea.

Of course only you are resopnsible for you actions and we cant make you stop using this modality. But please dont bring such stuff to this forum. I guess the line between companies with endless telephone que and companies that annoy me for this or that reason is small. Even the question, if KKK or other evil organisations deserve the pain of lads calling them, is discussed controversly.

As there are so many funny alternatives to giving away real numbers, above all the pimp phnone numbers offered by some baiters, I see no need to molest 3rd parties (not even 3rd party voicemail systems Wink

).

I make an exception though with services like automatic announcements like e.g. a bible cite hotline. The people who offer it, explicitly WANT the number to be called. When called it gives out an automatic announcement (e.g. a sermon) and gives the lad no oppertunity to leave a message. The reaction of lads to thi is extremly funny, especially when I ask them to leave a message on the tape. And I bet the church people are happy about the line's success, too.
