I'm not trying to say this is some brilliant idea, as it's pretty simple and I imagine other people are already doing something similar to it, too. Anyways, this is a great way to collect Piggies if anyone is aiming for those. I don't typically go for them, but in the past couple weeks I've shot from like 2 piggies to 6 piggies all on accident (about to get #7 too).

Anyway here is what I've been doing. I've been trying to collect trophy signs for a project (trying to re-create Black Dog's "Mrs. Robinson" video, only with a different song). I started off on a good track, snagged 2 lyric signs right off the bat. Since then, I've ran into a stumbling block. What's that stumbling block? Well, all of my recent scammers have been offering up bank accounts to foil my intended results.

I straight bait as a naive single mom (would work for any character though). Then when they finally get to the money aspect, I go to Western Union to send the money. I email back later that day or the next day to tell them that there was a problem at Western Union. Apparently, WU's in Alabama (my characters state) now require a Security Photo for money being wired to Africa due to increased fraud. I even add this link to make it look more legit: http://yahoonews.mailnew.com/ I explain how the WU employee told me that a security photo is simply a picture of the money recipient and a random password phrase that is assigned for the transfer. I then tell them that the random password phrase that Western Union assigned to me was "(Insert Song Lyric that I want)". The next thing they usually do is tell me to go to Money Gram instead. Unfortunately, Money Gram has instituted the same policy. At this point, most of my lads have been unwilling to do the picture, so what do you think they offer up instead? A bank account of course. I've been disappointingly receiving all these bank accounts, foiling my objective, but reporting them all to Alan along the way! Smile

So if anyone baits to try and increase their piggie total, this seems like a good modality to rack them up VERY quickly!

Yeah, I think that would definitely work. I rarely have a lad refuse to give a bank account and few have accounts they control. Alot of them have to get their buddies to let them use an account, for a fee of course and then guess who gets blamed when it gets shut down?

In some cases you just have to insist (I admit I did it on the phone in my harshest voice) that you never ever do transaction by WU or MG. NEVER!
I got my firs account by that.
But it would be good not to be a single mum...
