I forgot that we had several of these in the company in box. A few of them have been messed with by fellow co-workers, but the rest have been unanswered. They all go along the same line as this.

Open for suggestions before I try to set any bait.

First off I am presuming that you will not be baiting from the company inbox Exclamation

Otherwise I would just send off an initial email saying that you can supply the goods and take it from there.

Also I would be very sure that they are scams, because you may just have ITP's there as well, if you can check headers to see where they are from.

I forwarded them to a new email address I created just for baiting.

ITP? Interested third party?? If so, no. We have replied before, and the scam goes along the path of pre paying for shipping. Dingo Express was one of the shipping company's. We googled them, and they were a real company with a scam warning on the home page.

The name in my header on the bait account is
Dr. Dirk Diggler MD, MDMA, LSD, THC. Think its too much?

DirtyMonkey,
I get these all the time at work. Lots of 'want to order from your company. send website link & do you send to the Phillipines/Japan, etc & do you accept credit card.'
I do as you are - send em to my catcher account & offer the biggest range of sexual products available at Bulldog Pleasures. Have 2 currently working out an order. These guys are fun but drop off quick the cards come back as stolen (surprise!)
Have as much fun with them as you can while it lasts.

There are several business specific scams that I see in RL. There are the usual we want to buy your producty will you accept credit cards. The answer is what product do you want to buy? Answer from lad: send us your price list and web URL. Multiple emails no mention of what they actually want.

The variation is check scams instead of credit cards.

The last few months have had about 10 calls a month wanting to process our credit card transactions. All companies we have never heard of.
