Are Lads getting more and more stupid in this new year.

I got an email from "Google Customer Support" with a subject "Help me!" that turned out to be a love scam.

I also got an email that implied the country of Haiti made me a lotto winner (even though they are in need of some real life lottery wins).

I also got the buttplug email which you can read about if u see my threads, which makes me wonder, are scammers falling more victim to de-education, or scambaiters having a sick joke or are the lads generally getting more mentally unable as the days go by?

I know there is alot of fun potential to be had amongst unruly scambaiters, but ive just noticed ever since I got back into scambaiting after about a year, nearly all the emails ive received come with major common sense errors, and I mean, beyond lad common sense mentality.

It could be a sign 419 is no longer becoming profitable or workable due to new laws and technology, but I really do wonder about this.

Hi blackninjabong Welcome to 419eater

Yep, I've been getting some really screwy mail lately. Scammer claim 3 different names in one mail, and another that changed scams midstream. Rolling Eyes

Ive had the whole change scam things a few times before.

I find it kind of ironic how even though they are "prominent and well off officials" Rolling Eyes

they get offended if you in any way put a halt on their business transaction which they are so desperate to put forward even though they "say" they live in great big palaces.

Im sure im gonna have a completely off the wall one stare me right in the face and I wont notice it Laughing

This could be a result of massive de-education. Don't question this, because this is actually a blessing in disguise. If baiters encourage them to claim even MORE names/orgs in the same email, it will make their scams appear that much more outlandish and potential victims will be more inclined to ignore and DELETE said scam.

Are lads getting dumber this year? LETS HOPE SO! This could be a good year for de-education. Lets forge ahead, remember EVERY LAD LEFT BEHIND!

Here is an example of such good work done by a hard working de-educated lad.

Lad-de-education is a noble trade. We need more de-educators.

While that buttplug one is extremely hilarious, I'm still not sure if it's not just someone having a laugh. Just sounds a bit too funny to be true.

Although I guess there's a small possibility it's a massive case of de-education, in which case the person who caused it is a true evil genius mastermind and has earned my undying respect and free beers! hehe
beers!

I think this is simply proof that scambaitng is working. It used to be that they got only 1 or 2 real vics and could keep the thread straight.

Now they have to find the vic in a couple dozen baits all at the same time and it becomes much more difficult to keep a thread from getting screwed up.

This is evidence of overworked lads.

Keep up the good work. Real vics can see the screw ups too.
Very Happy
