That was really cool! I'm glad that I caught it!
Congratulations Raga Man!

Thanks all. Hoped for a better show but what they heck...

Here is the lads parting shot (after I threatened to call the cops):

Ok call them. Go there and take your money. You said you were watching me from your room right?? Did you see me take money??? How stupid you are. Idiot

Did anyone make a note of the time scamboi showed up? I can trim the previous 3.5 freakin hours of video I seem to have recorded and just hand out the good bit Smile

I was in a position, I couldn't watch the chat room and stream the video at the same time, or we'd have double bandwidth jeopardy (video coming in, then out to the streaming server, then back in - I didn't want to risk it, even on a measured 5,500kbps!

^^Ooo MBL i love when you talk dirty like that.

Sorry I didn't catch the time, but it was probably about 15-20 mins before you closed the stream? Raga Man can describe him and his movements to you.

I didn't see much of him on the web cam. I was flipping back and forth between my email and the video feed. Between that and the web cam being so herky-jerky I only saw a few seconds of him. I believe he was the tall, black guy with black pants and a dark coat. He was the only guy I saw pay any attention to the bale of hay. According to the time on his emails, that should have been right around 1:23PM.

Cool - I think I found the guy - he's only with us for a few frames, so have done you a few jpegs, video doesn't add anything except more heartache Sad

Yep - he was visible for exactly 3 frames, I know, I stepped through every frame. I have decided not to apply for a CCTV monitoring role.

Congrats on the webcam scammer though!

Too bad we didn't catch the frame of him bending down to look at the straw.

Maybe he really did jump on the side of that truck and make his getaway!

I recall watching a program on NBC a couple of years ago about Nigerian scammers who had moved to Atlanta. Some kind of check scam.
They had the local Nigerian community up in arms against them.

Bohigal, I'm at a loss - if you were watching the livestream feed, I have literally every single frame of that recorded - most frames 25+ times (as the cam was only refreshed once per sec, and that before page dropouts etc), and I've got nobody bending over straw. Did you cheat and watch the cam feed itself? Can I blame you for the poor cam performance Wink

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:10 pm

Nope I was watching your feed (and chatting) and I distinctly remember him bent at a 90 degree angle with his ugly ass to the left, looking at the bale. It was right after one of those refresh things. The truck went by pretty soon after. Maybe it was the image shearing or something? Too bad, it would be a good trophy picture for Raga Man.

Damn

I was virtually online the whole afternoon and missed this thread.
But thanks manbiteslion, for recording it Very Happy

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:28 pm

Thanks for the pics and video, mbl. Very kind of you to do all that.

I think I saw that bend over as well. I remember thinking at the time that the jerk didn't make much of an effort to search the straw AND he was on the wrong end of it. I specifically told him the end near the traffic cone. I was really hoping to have him searching all around that corner but it seems like he took a quick peek in the hay bale, didn't find what he wanted, and high-tailed it out of there. I guess he didn't want to mess his nice suit up. I tried to get him to come back and look more carefully but he wasn't having any of that.

Good job you guys were keeping track - you're right, after he went away, he came back!

Thanks for the prompts and hints, or this would have been lost in the mists of time and data - for your delectation, lad bending over hay bale!! Woohoo! Then he walks away, and the fscking camera freezes up *again*!

But we got him!

Mr. Phill1ps is ROYALLY pissed I brought my "sister", freaky Phoebe (it was she who got him to Savannah), into this deal. I just got a message from him in the old email account - the one I used to bait him under. Haven't heard from him on that account for over 3 weeks. He got right to the point:

Quote:

You are a bastard!

I have no idea what he is talking about of course. Twisted Evil

I asked him to explain. He obliged:

Quote:

I just drove back fromsavannah now. Your sister is a dumb ass. She never showed up. Call her. Am tired of all your mess

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:19 pm

Brilliant - kill confirmed Wink

How many miles did he manage? Did he get you a Safari

?

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:19 pm

BEAUTIFUL! Thanks again, mbl. I wish he was on his hands and knees grubbing around in there but thats OK. Thats a keeper!

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:23 pm

Round trip Atlanta to Savannah is approximately 500 miles. Blew his whole day and a couple of tanks of gas. Breaks my heart.

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:26 pm

Poor baby...

Quote:

I don't know who to trust again. 4hrs trip wasted. She's mental. Well. I sent her my address in georgia to fedex it. So you work on her on that

But this a-hole still wants to deal. Anybody want to be a FedEx agent?

Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:33 pm

Marvellous! Oh well done Smile

Happy I could help!

If you go back to edit your first post, you can update the thread title to say pics on p2, it will increase the footfall and people stroking your ego Smile

If anyone wants the video files, they should be available in the video on demand bit of the livestream.com/scambaiters site, dig around a bit. But I warn you, you can skip the first 3.5 hrs or so, and literally get those same stills at the end of it!

'Scammer searches for money in a haybale' - that is so brilliant!

How amazingly clever you have been, Raga Man, with the whole scenario of the freaky sister. I've loved following this today, and wondering whether or not the Lad would show up. And then all the pictures too - superb, manbiteslion.

A good day. Well done!

If only you were premium - GP5 E-Tr4ck is just what you need for him to trace and track his package as it arrives, goes back to the depot, goes to a storage location, gets lost on the wrong van, and leads him up another garden path...

500 miles (That's 805 KM for the rest of the world that's moved to the far more efficient decimal system) just to look at some hay.

That's great. Laughing
