As a way to move the conversation along, I have set up an autoreply on my catcher account that says "Yes I am very interested, please tell me more"

I get all sorts of great responses like this mess of the english language which made me chuckle:

Quote:

First of all, we the promptitude with which you answered our message of invitation at our international fair of the richnesses African, this being you would like to thank you sour and are interested to take part in this living room?

If SO, it is important stipulated you that this living room is with a limited number of guest privilege, that even which receives several privileges then as the word means it, it is important and effective that you know that with this living room, several opportunities open with you for businesses which you want to make and there in the field which you quite simply want by meaning us your community activity but by filling out the information sheet that we to you will forward in our next message!

It may also rank as the best run on sentence I've read in a while. I just hope their information sheet is as exciting Laughing

WOW that is a horible script. I'm sure his original script made more sense. This lad seems fun.. pm me his addy if you dont mind sharing. I would like to check out the richness African fair. Wink

I want my catcher account to be just black as seen from the outside world.

And yes I do know that it might be easier to get good baiting material this way. I did sometimes reply from from my catcher in the past. And all of a sudden I had a hitlad in my catcher - That was a response to a polite decline of some big amount.

I'm currently testing to see if polite declines (from baiter accounts) can produce hitlads. It would be nice to have my own "hitlad factory" Laughing

With all this said - Have you got the opening mail? - It could be fun to get whole picture of this.

Sure- the opening is just as bad. Hopefully a bunch of us could attend the international fair of the richness on Oct 17-23. Maybe 419eater could even have a booth. Wink

Trade show scam just when you thought you had seen it all. I think a 419eater booth is a great idea we fall under the last field. This must be one big living room. If you dont mind I may see if they have room for a Clown University booth.

This starts to look like a "script", supplied by a baiter Laughing

Does anyone recognise this??

Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:43 am

Oh, please, drop me a PM with his addy.

@candy-factory

Can you try to see if you could add something like: "(Baiter supplied script?)" to the tittle. I believe this should be moved to the help forum if it really is a baiter supplied script.

Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 10:41 am

Actually I'm guessing that this is machine translated French and it's turned something like "Exhibition space" into "Living room". The scam is based in Ivory Coast which is a Francophone counry and there's a couple of French words that didn't translate like "Hévéa" (which is a rubber tree)

So I doubt that this is a baiter script.

I dont believe it's a baiter script either. I think it's a bad french translation but it does sound too ridiculous to fool anyone.

I'll keep you posted on what they tell me, or the "information sheet" I need to fill out.

@TheDane: Email address is at the bottom of the original scam letter.

^^^ It wouldn't be the first time a baiter's fake lad supplies a real lad with a hopelessly ridiculous script Laughing

I just wonder - I've seen it before here at Eater Smile

Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 11:14 am

Searching for the word' valorization' gives no hits at Eater, searching for a key phrase on the interwebs shows no hits, not even this thread, so it does look like a good 'un.

Time to see if they have any trading spaces left.

Could you post the full header (edit out your own address) so some baiters can get to work on this lad?

Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 11:28 am

^^^ What I meant was that I've seen baiter supplied scripts before - Just not this particular one.

Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 12:43 pm

^^^Hmmm. I´ve received this one in my catcher recently.
It reminds me of another 'trade show' last Winter which provided us with fun, 'going' as a group from some Charity Foundation.
Good times.
Obviously, the fun was in having one baiter organise the invitations then the individual

Under arts and crafts, I see woodworking, but not the areas which most interest me. Wink

I´ll have to drop them a line.

Ok well I recieved the information sheets and already this is the strangest bait I've ever had.

There were two Word documents attached. One of them was a contract format document in the same horrible english and the other was six different pictures of the rooms I could stay at while visiting the Fair!

Here's the email I received after asking "please send me the information sheet"

Quote:

Yep this one is weird! Is the scam getting your money for the hotel resrvation? Or travel? One of the scripts said something about plane tickets but it is so hard to understand what the hell they are saying.

Fill out forms? How can I do that I cannot open the files. Wink

I want to figure out where they go with this though I hope we can get around the forms.
