Hello folks

Think I have a live one, this is my first attempt, but sure I'll get better

Here is my response followed by the scam email (just have to wait and see how it pans out)

My dearest Mr.Hamidu Idris.

This sounds like a very interesting proposition, a once in a lifetime opportunity (I have never dared dream of so much money)

Please tell me more, I am very happy to help you in any way I can

Yours respectfully

Ran-Sid Flange

Hello...I Need Your Foreign Asistance,

I work with a bank In West Africa,Burkina faso .I have a business
transaction for you.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5 Million US
Dollars .In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who
died along with his entire family in a Bomb blast in irag
Since his supposed next of kin died along side with him at the Bomb
blast,there is nobody to claim the left over balance in the account.It
is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department decided to seek your assistance and present you to the bank
as his Next of kin. If you accept i would give you the guide lines of how we can achieve
this transfer of the balance (10.5Million Dollars) to your account..and
we will shear the money 50//50%.and note that this transction is 100% risk free
that you should not entertain any atom of fear as i have some docments to back
you up for the claim.I expect that you will give me your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication with you and for more details.

Trusting To Hear From You Urgent,

Mr.Hamidu Idris.

Thanks for the replies guys, I keep checking my inbox to see if he takes the bait (itching to go)

My only weak point is I answered his emal from my aol account (after finding it whilst clearing out my spam folder earlier today)

Is there a risk in baiting from my normal email account (have read the advice on here about using yahoo etc)

Hope he gets back, I have some great ideas to try on him Very Happy

^^^ Send the same email from a gmail account and 'block' him from your regular account. Not ideal but no lad will bother with an account he can't get a reply from.

Its pretty standard procedure to inform you that no, you shouldnt be baiting from your own account. We practice safe baiting habits, so that means, your email should not be connected to you in anyway at all. best is to use a gmail or hushmail as they hide your IP, which in turn means your location. this is not only great to not be found, but it means you can say your anywhere in the world, even next door to the lad Laughing

dont stress to much about losing the lad on your real life account, just re-bait him from a baiting account, he wont even notice that he never mailed you in the first place if you copy the mail contends in as if it was a reply.

anywho.... Welcome, pull up a lad or two, and make yourself comfy.

Edit:shouldnt have written so much, DW beat me to the punch Laughing
