Hi all, a new baiter here, read some of the baits - great work! Loved the "Get Mapping" one!

One question though - how do you get started? I recieve almost no scam spam - just advertising (lucky I suppose in some respects! Very Happy

)

Thanks

Hi!

Don't bait from your private addy Wink

Sign up for a new gmail addy that is totally unrelated to your RL and sign some guest books with that. To find the guest books you want to sign google for MUGU + GUYMAN + 2009

That will work well in your favour. Most lads love targeting eager christians. Welcome to the remainder of your spare time. Don't worry about blowing the bait. I've failed with plenty but there's an abundance of lads to practice on (sadly).

Golden rules, which you'll find in the sticky's are;
bait safe,
don't involve ITP's (innocent third parties),
no burning the lad.

General advice on how to treat bait lads is;
Prevaricate,
Obfuscate,
Sex ornate... oops sorry, wrong forum Twisted Evil

Hi JBT,

Follow the advice above. Some of the guys here know what they are talking about. Laughing

I would add the following:

Don't rush things. IF you are after a trophy be prepared to wait and wait for the chance. Trying too soon will blow it. A lot of lads are wise to some of the tricks.
Play it straight while you get the hang of of it.
Pretend you are not computer savvy. Ask your lad for help/advice, they like that.
Get a mentor.
Never try baiting for money, its a big NO-NO.
Have fun. IF you want to build a background to your character, and you have the time to spare, that can be part of your fun.

Your initial aim should be to waste as much of the lads time as possible.
You need evidence of who he is, BUT remember, if he sends you a passport, you will have little chance of getting a trophy pic as he will have committed himself to the persons picture.
Ask him for certificates, if he is a lawyer, you need a copy of his Bar Certificate, if he sends an Affidavit try and find an error in it htat means he has to re-do it.
Don't point out too many mistakes, such as grammar or spelling. We don't want to educate him.

And again, have fun. Confuse him, frustrate him.

Hi JBT,

Welcome!

You might want to consider getting a gmail account from google instead of yahoo email. Gmail is safer for you as your IP address will not be available to a scammer. Also, Eater University is a great place to learn about baiting.

hi and welcome jbt Very Happy

Thanks all.

This will be my first bait (Goodbye to free time!), so all I am going to try to do is annoy him as much as possible....

Thanks for all your advice, as far as I know, my IP address is dynamic, so there not really going to find much more that my ISP.

I had this email as well:

Quote:

Dear Partner,

This is to inform you that, I am marketing manager to registered local miners here in Ghana and we sell Alluvial gold dust to respective buyers who are willing to buy from us.
Presently we have for sale 750kg of Alluvial gold dust for sale and if you are willing to buy from us, I shall prepare the FCO on request.

I await your correspondence.

What should I do? Is this a lad I can get back to?[/quote]

These are only suggestions and by no means, hit him with all at once - You would be happy to buy, however, due to green energy poilcy, you will eventually need eco sanitary certificated produced. Anti- child labor laws require proof they aren't making the kiddies work and various other items supplied before sale can occur. Make him convert the kgs to ounces (troy ounces) and have him do the math for the amount for the sale.

Simply start with, "Yes I am interested in this offer. " or something to that tune.

Stickies, stickies, stickies, bait safe!Use Gmail anyway!

After a standard 419, I got this from him:

Quote:

Dear friend,

Thanks for your immediate response to my proposal.The brief remark give an affirmative indication that you are ready to explore this opportunity with me.

Permit me to inquire if you have potential to contain fund of this volume,and that after the transfer no eventuality will befall the fund.

The transfer of the fund is procedural,of which i need to normalize your detail in our system.This require you to give me your full detail as: full names,physical address,a copy of your passport photography as well as your direct phone number.

The detail given is program in the computer database of my branch and by default it will simultaneously reflect in the entire network of the Bank,claiming and ascertaining you as the beneficiary of the fund.

Upon the success of the exercise, i will notify you on how you can formally apply to the bank for the wire transfer of the fund to your designated account.
I will crave your indulgence to follow my instruction to the letter and as an insider i will be here to give you all the needed banker advise necessary to streamline successful transfer to your account in your country.

,i will send you the transfer application form,which you will fill at the same and forward the copy to the headquarter of the bank,where foreign transfer is made.

Regards,
John Moses

I recommend, when you receive the document, ignore it. Send him a re-named .dll or something largish.

Fellow baiters, this return script looks as though it may have been run though a translator! Does it not? Lots of really big non-ladish words! WOW!

jbt, I also recommend you abandon this thread or request it be move to a more secure area if we are to discuss methodology. I'm sure a mod would be happy to help.

Also if you could please provide headers. Very important stuff. There is a how to in the University forum.

As for me I will off with the family for a few days! happy US Turkey Day!
