Hi everyone,

I've been lurking a bit, and decided why the hell not join. I probably average about 5-8 scam e-mails per day (not including viagra ads, trust me I function quite well without it, thanks!!) So I don't really have to look for these guys. Though i would like to get a hitlad sometime!!

Hi All,

First post, but been viewing for quite some time.
Just to get it out of the way, I must say - LOVE YOUR WORK!

I found your site originally through a post in a 25+ gaming forum - clicked on the link and proceeded to loose 4 or 5 hours - seldom have I been so enthralled.

Keep it up, and see you around.

Cheers,

Skoville

Hi, Windmanfred and welcome to Eater.

The best way to learn is to ask questions, read the stickies and sign up for a Mentor. The most valuable lesson you will learn is to bait safe.

Good luck and enjoy.

It has to be a real effort to stop these SCAMMERS in their tracks, they are pretty adept at taking advantage of our weak and feeble minded. I can tell you, it is alot of fun throwing them in jail after out-smarting them at their own game. Please let me know if you hear of any victims that may have been scammed by the U.S. Customs Imposters, we locked up in West Palm Beach and Washington D.C. last week. I suspect there are many victims nation wide, and the more loss we can show, the greater the federal sentence for them. Look formard to learning anything I can from the members, Don Guthrie, U.S. Department of Homeland Security -ICE

"Weak and feeble-minded" is a very unfair characterization of scam victims. Many highly educated professionals fall for scams, not to mention countless people who are taken in by charity scams, pet scams, and romance scams. "Weakness" has nothing to do with it.

And as much as I wish we could get scammers thrown in jail, the fact that they work anonymously out of Internet cafes in countries that turn a blind eye toward such activities makes any threat of a US federal sentence virtually nil.

I know these schemes are very believable and many professionals and very smart people fall victim. But they particularly target our elderly and disabled very aggressively, and its hard to access the number of victims out there. As far as enforcement in Nigeria, thats a tough one, but we can certainly attack the conspirators here.

Hello, found this site during my career in law enforcement & have laughed my socks off at some of the escapades you boys & girls hatch in getting one over the scammers. Now I'm retired & have a bit more spare time on my hands & hope to join in the wind-up party when I can!

Hello from Germany! I stumbled over this site from a different (unrelated) forum and spent hours just reading and laughing Wink

So I decided to give scambaiting a shot and started responding to some "lads". But of course I am really unexperienced so I hope to get help here, or even a mentor Smile

Excellent site, excellent concept..!

Have done a lot of reading and received some great advice from my mentor Branwen.. My problem is that my spam filter at work and at home don't allow me to receive any such scam jems anymore. Sad

How can I turn myself into a 'scam magnet'..?

Meanwhile, I have followed up one recently and the 'notebooks' have just arrived in London.. Laughing

Lads credit card and bank account details have been sent to Alan, so hopefully something will come of them.

Anyway, catch you around the forums - I'm off to play some pinball Cool

Been veiwing this site for the last week, love it. I remember about 20 odd years ago my dad getting a letter from some scam dude from Nigeria and we sat around the dinner table laughing our guts off. I joined this site not only for my hate for what these people do, but that I was impressed with the care and time you guys put into this, I am truely impressed. I have had many a good laugh the last week reading your great site, and added it to my i-pod, now I find myself reading the postings on my way to work and giggling myself stupid. Great work and please keep it up. Now, a question, seems these lads are into a gold dust scam, was sent this, is this the latest scam?

@Spiderscam - Open a gmail catcher account (one only used to collect them) and use the addy to sign some guestbooks. Say something nice about the site you visit. You'll have lads in your spam folder and inbox too in no time flat. Google "guestbook + 2010" to find some to drop your address into. While you are waiting, just pick up some in the Surplus Forum. Good luck! Smile

@studleyhungwell - Gold dust lads have been around forever, but we have been seeing a recent larger wave of them coming in lately. They are lots of fun and usually can be strung out for a long time. They like to fill out forms (hint.) Wink

@nzninja - Glad to see another ninja aboard. Thanks for giving us some of your time, and Happy Slashing, or whatever it is they do. Smile

Hey, everyone. I've been reading the site for a while now and I am really interested in getting into baiting. I hope to stick around and have fun as long as I can.

After registering I got the PM that gave me a few pointers and I realized that I needed my username changed. I was going to PM a random Moderator or Administrator, but wasn't sure if that was the right way to go about it. If someone could point me in the right direction that'd be wonderful. Smile

Hi everyone. I've enjoyed reading the forums the last couple of days since I recieved a scam email earlier this week, looks like there's a lot of fun to be had baiting and I'd like to give it a go.

Would appreciate any help getting started.

I am in total wonder at you guys. I love reading this site. I did join the forum a while ago, but what with having a mad busy life I've never really answered in the forum. I may try and get started on the ol baiting thing, but I think I may need a whole lotta dutch courage to start... Will keep reading and maybe get some inspiration from your baiting adventures, they totally cheer me up on a gloomy day Twisted Evil

Welcome to Eater, new members. Very Happy

Just take Seamless' advice up there^^, and grab a lad or two to start in our Surplus Forum. It's not a plunge down into icy waters here, so no need to build up any courage. It's all pretty flowers, pink dresses, sunshine, and cats. If you have a question, just post in the Help Forum and the members here will guide you along. Very Happy

I hope you enjoy reading. Especially the last part is very dramatic and funny Smile

Hi!
Glad to be here and learn from the masters Smile

I've started some nice and safe straight baiting. First one already seems promising. Quickly semi-off script and better than usual English skills... I'll need to be careful with this one.
