Hello I'm New here! Joined: 17 May 2010 Posts: 2

Hey guys, happened upon your site a few days ago and I'd love to join in, only problem is I have 3 email addresses and I've NEVER been sent a 419. Is there something I can do to attract them, or could someone forward me a recent scam email that they recieved so I could act on it? I'm a creative writer by proffession and keyboard warrior by nature so the idea of screwing around with scumbags through email appeals to me greatly as not only a test of creativity but as a public service. Any help would be appreciated. Keep baiting!

Welcome.

Take a little time to explore the forum, read the stickys, etc. You'll find many resources for contacting lads. Also, make sure the email addresses that you use are dedicated to baiting and don't contain any personal information.

Have fun, bait safe.

Welcome to Eater, Benslye!

You can find scam emails in the surplus section:

http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18

As EP said, read all of the stickies and make sure you're baiting safe. You may also want to sign up for a mentor, mine really helped me get on my feet.

Most of all, have fun!! Laughing

Hi, you can always get lads by singing some guestbooks with your email address filled.
You can find those guestbooks by searching in google, or similar.

Read the stickies, bait safe - dont leave a trace to your real life.

And if you want PM me, i can send you few emails, if you want to. Smile

I suggest this hitlad for a first bait:

They're pretty rare and can be a lot of fun.

Definitely sign up for a mentor. Mine has taught me much.

So did mine.

And yes - hitlads are very rare. Never encountered any of them. Never had chance to bait them Smile

Hitlads are fun. You can negotiate the price of your life down from $70,000 to as low as $50. Once you get the price down, then demand copies of the correspondence ordering the hit.

^^I agree, they are hilarious. The first line in my sig was a hit lad who turned into a lover lad, eventually twigging, terrified that I was going to move to Nigeria to spent my life with him. Twisted Evil

Welcome to Eater Very Happy

Have fun, grab a beer from the bar, and don't forget to eat and sleep sometimes. This can get addictive!

I'm jealous of the hitlads......mostly all I get lately are boring loan lads. Confused

Of course I do get lots of mail from Robert Mu3ller 111, but he's getting pissed off at me and now is threatening "severe consequences." Shocked

Yeah. My hitlad is out there in the jungle waiting for me. Somewhere. Twisted Evil

Ah, how is Robbie these days?
Haven't heard from him in a while. Since his last mail where he threatened to "Bust my house within 24 hours" if I didn't "corporate" with his agency.
(He never turned up though. Maybe that fake address of an invisible house in the middle of nowhere caused him to get lost somewhere...)

Welcome benslye. Don't worry too much about Creative writing early in a bait for instance this was a reply to 70 or so assorted emails I received on Monday. I didn't read any of them.

Quote:

Thank you for your email please give me more details on how I can be of assistance.

Regards,
xxxxxxx.

Here is a reply I received today,

Quote:

Dearest One

I have read with keen interest and concentration your romantic worded email where you exhibited your intellectual powers/talent as expected from a well educated man like you.

Needless to say I think I have met the next Mrs R.S.
It takes an email or 3 before they seem to even bother reading them.
Enjoy your baiting and GIVE EM HELL Twisted Evil

Oh and get a mentor. Very handy to be able to fire off questions.

On the other hand, creative writing can be a fun way to start baiting - even if the lad doesn't join in at all. But I agree that a lot of the quality is lost on lads.

Hi Technomancer, Hi ScammedOut, Smile

Lucky Bugger, ScammedOut. Half your luck would suit me.

Technomancer I am spending more time than I can justify on this Forum. Addictive, is an understatement. I would tend towards obsessive.

Keep it up baiters, its fun just reading about your experiences.
Through this I am already learning a lot. I have a helpful and friendly mentor. Allow me to make my own mistakes at first. I think in time I will contribute a worthwhile bait that consumes a scummers time and confuses the heck out of them.

Cheers

I've never had one contact me either. It's not a problem though, as people here are quite happy to share them.

Oh dear. I was wondering what the "severe consequences" would be, and now I"m really scared. I don't want my house busted!! Shocked
