I'm already involved in some baits and didn't need another one, so I just wrote back:
Quote: |
Get a job and quit scamming people, low life!! |
He responded:
Quote: |
PLEASE SEND ME MONEY SO THAT I WILL USE IT AND FIND JOB
|
I wrote back:
Quote: |
If I sent you money, how would I know that you would use it to find a job instead of using it to continue trying to scam people? How could I be sure? And what kind of job would you find?
|
And finally, I received this today:
Quote: |
My brother i am given you full promise that i can never do it again i will started something and send you the picture of the job i have start just believe my word i would do it now because of our country things is very bad please if you can help me to start something GOD IS GOING TO VISIT YOU AND YOUR FAMLY AND GOD IS GOING TO REWARD YOU FOREVER IF YOU DO THAT AND CHANGE MY LIFE GOD IS GOING TO VISIT YOU FOREVER
|
What if he really is wanting to change his life? I mean, mircales DO happen sometimes. How naive and stupid am I being? I'm so tempted to send him $20! Help me! |

Very.
Don't send money. Instead, promise him money, he has already offered to provide the trophy. Trophy first, then money (not).
[edit] If you really want to give away money, there's lots of people in Haiti who can use it a lot more now. |

You are joking right?
Do you think $20 would stop the lad from scamming?
Hell, he's just made $20 from sending out his format. He's got a job!!!
You want to send the lad something? Send him a fake WU form for $20 and have the little bugger jump through a few hoops. Maybe he can do a bit of gymnastics for a living. |

You do realise that "be strong" is a secret code phrase of a right wing South African group dedicated to world domination, and total dictatorial control of Eater.
Assuming you were ignorant of this fact, and not a fellow member of this most secret of societies, I will give you this piece of advice:
Send the money to me.

Maybe this lad's real goal is to work a 9-5 job -- it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility. But to have him go from scamming you one second, and the very next, begging you for money so that he can eventually come visit you and praise your generosity - I mean, only in a scammer's mind does that sort of logic hold true. He will take your money and then ask for more all in the pursuit of this mythic "job" -- when the only job he will then have is finding ways to get more money out of you.
Instead, if you are so inclined, offer to be his mentor and give him advice on how to find a job, look for ways to obtain grants or some NGO money that will be local, and have real strings attached. This will undoubtedly involve actual legwork and filling out (real) forms, etc. See how fast he drops you... |

If a miracle has happened and this lad has given up his scamming ways, I'll grow wings and start flying under my own power.
Plenty of other more worthy causes to donate your $20 to Cece. |

@ klaas - ummm, there are no nuts to kick me in...
@ NN - lol @ smurfette. And I really was serious. There must be a scammer every now and then who feels terrible about what he's doing or believes in karma or whatever and will try to change his life. Don't you think? I definitely think there are more good people than bad. How can it be so different in Nigeria?
@JM - Excellent advice!
@ Hitch - Your money's on the way. Will send tracking number.
@ Slightly - No, I wasn't joking, unfortunately.
@ wokabo - You're absolutely right. Haiti needs money, and I sent them some!
Thank you all so much for your comments. I will not send him anything. I may offer tips on finding a job. |

You need a to study up on Nigerian culture.
What's bad to us in the West is matter of fact to a country that is mired in corruption.
You're onto a loser if you ever try to apply Western standards onto some African nations. |

Come sit around the camp fire while I recount a tale of horror and wonder...
About a week after I joined eater I was baiting scammer who was proving me his love by displaying his love tackle for all to see. After several weeks and more pictures of his lap taffy I accused him of being a scammer, which he confessed after a few emails. I was shocked at his honesty and he started telling me all about his life and his real name and so on. He promised me that he would never scam anyone again, and would repent for all the pain and misery he'd caused other women. In the next email he promised to turn over a new leaf if I could help him get back to school and better himself. Initially I felt odd that he was being so forthcoming and genuinely felt sorry for his situation. I also wondered if it was possible that he was lying and believed it was all part of his tactic to get my money.
At the same time I had contacted him with another persona, which low and behold, he sent his format, and I continued to trophy bait until I broke him and once again he confessed of his dire situation.
Sure his country is fucked up, but it doesn't mean you're only option is to waste all your time, effort and limited finances on stealing from others. No-one, regardless of your origin or situation is going to give you and quick and easy life-fix for long-term solutions. You want something out of life, go do what the rest of us do. Have a goal and bloody well work for it.
Yes, of course the opportunities are limited, but there are hundreds of different ways of making a life that doesn't involve living off the misery of others. |

cece he's a lad. All he did was respond to your Email by saying exactly what he thought you needed or wanted to hear. That is what lads do. They will say anything and promise everything to get you to send them money. That response was very typical lad too. I worked too. I know you didn't send money but the fact you even considered it, even for a micro second means the lad got to you and that is what they want to do.
If you bought that outright silly lad lie, then I strongly suggest you read a lot more before baiting any further. Sometimes when lads figure out you are "joking" with them they don't indicate it but instead confess to being a scammer and tell you they are quitting then try to get you to feel sorry for them. I am worried about you.
Also please do me a favor and apply for a mentor. I'll assign you one immediately. |

Lads say that kind of stuff all the time.
I'm not trying to belittle you or anything, but if you don't believe them when they say their mother died, they're in heavy debt, they got beaten up, they got sent to prison (and are writing from the prison cyber cafe), they have cancer, they're being hunted by rebels, they're orphans, and all of the other relatively ordinary stuff that lads say, why are you so quick to believe that they'll stop scamming, especially after they've said they'll do it after you fall mugu to them? |

Try baiting him from another addy and see what happens-you will quickly loose whatever trust you had.Your sympathy speaks well of you,but in my experience is badly misplaced.As I said try baiting him again and see what happens. |

Corona is my mentor, and I guess I should have talked to her about it before posting this post, but I didn't.
I feel like SUCH an idiot now, lol. You guys are right. I was too quick to believe him, and I'm sure it's just another scam. This one has probably worked for him much better than the form emails most people send.
Thanks, you guys. |

Indeed! This lad is begging to be trophy baited!
I can't quite see how to work this as a modality though. I mean, if I sent out "Stop scamming! Get a job!" to 100 initial scripts, I'd that would just mean 100 lads I never hear back from.
Cece, you've got a real gold mine here! |

That would be a 100% strike rate, where as this lad seems to break your factual percentages.
You can't see the modality?
Lad: Send me $20 and I will stop scamming.
You: $20 isn't much to get you back on your feet.
Lad: How much you want to give me then?
You: I can do much better than that.
Lad: What can you do?
You: My uncle runs a scholarship program through his company... My friend has a advertising advancement business... My brother runs his own circus and is looking to do a trip around <insert lads country> ... and so on ...
Lad: I don't understand?
You: Well, let me explain it to you... I will help you get through it with him, but you can't tell him I am involved. It would be seen as favouritism and he won't like that. You need to contact him and I'll help as much as I can.
.. and so on ....
You've bypass the entire getting to know and trust each other and move completely off script. Once a lad realises you know it's a scam he has nothing left to offer you. He'll either disappear or latch onto your idea. |

I have already started using the "cece modality"TM. Although I did only start last night by sending 100 emails, I would guess that at least 1 will reply.
The best part about the "cece modality"TM is that once a lad admits he's scamming, he effectively ends his prospect of asking for a WU until he has done everything the baiter requires. His questionable past can be used against him every time he even hints at a westy and the pain will be completely self-inflicted. |

Oh I see the trophy modality once the lad gets to the "I've reformed! Send me $20 to stop scamming" stage!
My fear is that it's a rare lad that will jump right to that stage from "Get a job, scammer!"
To clarify: I'm interested in any modality that brings them efficiently to the "Send me $20 to stop scamming" stage.
^ I see Jose is experimenting with this. I've also got at least 100 opening scripts in my catcher account, so I'll give it a try too. I'll split them into a good cop and a bad cop group. Half will get "Get a job and quit scamming people, low life!!" (or words to that effect). Half will get "Please don't take offense, but I'm very familiar with internet scams and I can tell you are a scammer. If only you would please consider getting an honest job, brother." (or similar)
Here's hoping for success. |
