I've been reading through the website and forum for a few weeks now, entertaining stuff.

Tried baiting myself, sent a few replies to their emails (not at all outlandish) without success, perhaps they see through the Lambert Butler name either that or I'm not using Gmail properly.

Keep up the good work.

Turah a bit.

Welcome to eater Very Happy

Read the stickies, sign up for a mentor and bait safe (though you already seem to be doing that).

If you just send out a 'I'm interested, please tell me more' you should get at least a few replies.

Hi Wulfrun and welcome to Eater! Very Happy

Sometimes it can be a little rocky at the start, but never fear, just keep going. There are plenty of scammers out there. (Unfortunately. Sad

I think the name might be giving you away a little to be honest. You can get Lamberts just about anywhere in the world, including Ladland.

I do like it though Laughing

it's easiest to start out with a dumb, boring ordinary name. Stick a pin in a phone book. Straight baiting is perhaps the easiest to start with, use short replies of perhaps three sentences - don't work too hard, and give the impression that you are easily led. They like that.

I'm probably missing the punchline, but I can't see anything odd with the name, I'd stay with it, lads have all sorts of names as well.

It's more likely your intro letter, 97% of scammers will reply to a simple "I'm interested in your proposal, tell me more" reply.

after that it doesn't require a great deal of thought till you get to the money transfer stage, that's when the wheels fall off and it all turns bad for the lads.

Otterfan has a terrific straight bait tutorial in Eater U, well worth reading.

I personally went with a name created with the fake name generator website. It even spat out an address which in hindsight has been most beneficial.

It even sounds believable
