So, I was just wondering, going through a few impressive bait stories, has anyone ever baited a lad into doing something on a sort of community service level or otherwise productive? For example, I've seen stories where the lads get baited into doing quite elaborate and ridiculous "religious" rituals, so my thought is, is it a big jump from getting a lad to find 4 people to balance fish and bread on their heads while making 419 signs while standing on one leg, to say planting a garden?

I was just wondering if anyone has gone this way, and got a lad to paint a mural at a school or something instead of painting the baiter's "company" logo.

Oh, and a note, just in case someone takes this the wrong way: I'm not in any way criticizing the funny/absurd baits. They're great! I'm just curious if anyone can claim a sort of double-whammy on scammers by not only screwing up the scammer's job, but also getting the scammer to indirectly do some good for his/her community.

^^I like that idea. Off hand, I don't recall seeing anything like that, but even if it has been done, it would be nice to see more of that sort of thing.

There have been baits where scammers are asked to contribute to charities, but we don't support that because it falls under the umbrella of cash baiting.

If you decide to give it a go, let us know how you manage.

Welcome, BTW. Very Happy

Welcome to 419eater Jessica Anne

Thats a great idea. Maybe have them visit sick people in the hospital and have photos snapped. Good community service. Very Happy

Welcome I just love that idea, there are some very clever baiters who could do something like that!

Photographic evidence of a wall painted with a mural, or a garden planted and growing should satisfy the most particular baiters. After all tattoos are soooooooo 2009! Laughing

MODs might even think up a nice new trophy to award. Wink

^^Sounds like a great idea. Make sure you have the lad really tied around your finger in order to get it to work.

Welcome, Jessica Anne. Hope you stick around and share your adventures in ladland.

Love the idea. If you can get a lad to plant a garden, I want to see video of him working the soil, sweat pouring off his brow. Don't want some lazy punk taking a few snapshots of himself standing in the middle of somebody else's hard work.

Seems like a tall order, though. About the hardest work most lads do is make a trip to the Western Union office.

Yes, mewing_ghecko once made one of our M00seknuckle M0delling lads do some charity work as "punishment" - surprisingly he sent a few photos showing him wih a plastic tray (China food? Chicken & rice?) and many children around him whom he is seen giving it to them. So at least the illusion is there.

The pics are buried inside the 77-page 1 1/2 year long MM thread so I repost them here.

See M0ses Armstr0ng (pretending to) do(ing) a "good deed".

EDIT Oh dear, Bolleboos has found the original post while I was busy reupping them Laughing

Not as good as the above submission, but I regularly get my lads to patronize small/local businesses in an effort to strengthen their countries' economies and create more and better jobs for the people there that actually want to earn an honest living.

For example, my lads will often fly with smaller West African airlines (such as Arik Air) when flying to meet with me. That's no small fee that their contributing to the company, and it certainly helps them expand.

On a lesser scale, since coming out of retirement about a week ago, I'm getting as many lads as possible to order farmhouse beans at Mr Bigg's while (fruitlessly) waiting for me to show up to our meetings.

If you think of any better ways to get lads to contribute to society, why not pull out your keyboard, create an anonymous e-mail account, and send out a few letters to some scammers. You seem to have the passion to make a difference, so go ahead and give it a shot. Very Happy

Good luck and welcome to Eater. Thumbs up
