YOU To XXXXXXXX

Hi Mrs. Carsley thank you for the email sounds like a sweet deal, can you tell me about more about yourself? What kind of contract work do you do? And where are you stationed?

The reply was...
XXXXXX To You

Hi, please fill out the form. My husband is a missionary for the church. We are stationed in Largos Nigeria to help the poor hardworking people there.
Thank you and god bless for the reply.

Replied with....

YOU To XXXXXX

Oh ok, that is good that you are helping those poor hardworking HONEST people. unfortunately I am a non-believer of any religious faith so I hope that will not be a problem. I shall fill out the form soon.

Reply I got was...

XXXX To You

It is sad that you are a non-believer god loves all. Yes the Nigerian people are very hardworking and very honest. Please fill out the form, you send me the deposit and we shall mail you the key.

I replied with...
YOU To XXXXX

I would rather my lawyer speak to a representative of yours, preferably a real estate agent or a lawyer. Would that be possible?

Reply was

XXXXXX To You

Hi, Our real estate agent and lawyer whom we trusted very much turned on us, therefore we are handling this ourselves. Are you done with the form? You may use Western Union if you like to send us the deposit and we will IMMEDIATELY send you the key.

This is where I started having fun..

Very Happy

YOU To XXXXXXX

Ok it sounds like a fair deal, do you mind if my band crashes at the apartment occasionally? And practices there? We are generally a clean lot besides the occasional women and the occasional fight. The worst we've done so far though is throwing a guitar through a drywall wall. Does your house have drywall for the walls? If not it shouldn't be a problem. Still working on the form.

XXXXXXX To You

Hi, you band can stay with you sometimes and practice, all we need is for you to send us the money, our walls are made out of the finest wood so they should not break. It was a really expensive apartment. Please hurry on the form.

YOU To XXXXXX

Well about this. I'll have my agent give you a call and we'll make something legally binding, so it'll be fair for the both of us? Or he can call the embassy in Nigeria and work through a representative. I'm glad to hear that the walls are of wood, you'll be surprised what a Gibson Explorer can do to wall. Or if you'll give me your Western Union account I'll go ahead and send it to you as you seem to be a fine upstanding couple!

XXXXXX To You

Please send the deposit money, it will be used for the people here, the poor HARDWORKING AND HONEST Nigerians need it very much. The Western Union account is XXXXXXXXXXX Thank you, God Bless.

(Notice how "she" forgot the form?

You to XXXXXX

Ok I'll send the money later but I'm finished with your form.

Looks like a good start. I hope you're not calling that done though. There is lots of fun to be had by dodging money requests. Very Happy

Agree- throw a little "I have cash but am to stupid to understand your directions" and you can straight bait this guy for another month!

Thank you all Very Happy

I've tried to reopen the lines of communication, now its down to waiting on him/her Laughing

Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2010 10:31 pm

Good luck- as a rookie myself (first started baiting in November- in fact I only have one ongoing bait) I can tell you that waiting is very hard.

You might want to jumpstart it by throwing out a dolla chop or something- I was losing a bait and a vet gave me that idea...

Look forward to seeing how this one works out.

A good first bait, with some great humour in it.

A bit of advice - don't rush things, send one or two emails a day answering one question per email. That way your few hours bait will last weeks or even months.

i just got done talking on the phone with these scammers.100% pure shit... didnt realize they were in a foreign country till it was too late though.. they scam on craigslist and thats how i got the call. They are too stupid to get away with any of this, obviously way too needy and eager to get your money. should mail them a pic of me giving them the middle finger for the phone bill.

Unfortunately, they do get away with it. They get away with lots of innocent people's money. When I first joined this site, I just did it to screw with the scammers and have fun. Now, after reading some of the sad posts about true victims, I really do think I am helping potential victim's by taking up the scammer's time and money.

@OP:

Nice job on the bait. You got them off-script almost immediately. I still have a hard time doing that!

hey there! very nice work and there is alot more to be done in my opinion aswell...like others said you can do a dolla chop or just start to bait them again with a different e-mail!! give em hellish times Twisted Evil

Hi, I knew I said I'd post and update but, well Mr. Torrent has been shunned by the nice Christian couple Laughing

I am baiting them with a new email though, its a lot slower than last time, but oh well Laughing
