I'll see your "Metro Police" and bet THE "F.B.I." Twisted Evil

metropolitanpolice-online.com looks like a fakey domain. You can take the email headers and content down to the fake bank forum a little further down and post it up to be killed.

I have never successfully baited a fake lottery scam.

They tend to ask for all the info right up front, and every time I've tried a delaying tactic, they have just ignored me.

Can anyone point me to a thread with successful lotto scam baiting strategies?

This fakey domain generates both a 403 and a 404 at the moment.

Since it's not a fake bank, I wouldn't recommend this. Instead, see http://www.met.police.uk/fraudalert/contact.htm

Jammy, lotto lads can be quite pushy and impatient but they can still be successfully baited. One trick I like is to use templates to simultaneously bait a whole lot of them at once. Some will drop out but some will stick with it and with a little effort you waste a lot of mugus' time. Gomerpyle has some instructions for doing this at http://members.419eater.com/%7Egomerpyle/Templates.html

Among the lotto lads I've baited (and I'm far from an expert), I baited one actively for a month or two, then dropped off the radar (other interests pushed baiting out of the way; I'm tentatively back after an 8-month hiatus) but still got the occasional email from him over the next few months. So it can definitely be done.
