^^ Most internet beggars are.

Although you don't seem to be a fan of the ASEM method, unless someone comes forward to tell you that they've already baited the lad, your only other option is to drop him.

Another little tip with the ASEM method. Someone mentioned lads using the sick kids excuse a few posts back. A trick I use is to turn that on it's head.
After the lad/beggar has replied to your first ASEM, and if he's demanded the money, tell him that you'll pay but you need him to release whatever funds by the end of the month. Can he please confirm that? You have a sick kid who needs a life-saving operation and without the cash you are sending or will receive back, he/she will die.
That may sound harsh but try it as it will show you exactly who and what you are dealing with.
Invariably, the reply is "Send the money".

Grabbing tons of wisdom from this topic. Im too noob to know ASEM or handle it well, but I am learning. Thank you all.

The ASEM-method isn't really that hard.

Just emailing: "I can get the money needed to release my funds, but I need you to promise me that I have my funds by the end of the month. You see, my little daughter has a very advanced stage of prostate carcinoma and she's getting treatment at the end of the month, and if I don't have my money by then I can't pay and she will die. Can you promise me that I'll have my funds by the end of the month?"

It's a guaranteed success if you're ever having trouble with your conscience.
Just make sure you use a 'clean' address for it (that is, and address that you haven't used to converse with this lad yet) and pretend like you're writing to another lad.

It really can't harm to tried it (especially as you are using a 'clean' email address). If you feel your conscience is at ease after trying this, bait him without mercy, if not: drop him.

I baited a romance scammer for weeks before he suddenly "admitted" he not who he said he was and sent pics to prove it. Then he pleaded poverty and ask me to send hundreds of dollars cos he was a student and couldn't afford his courses. Unfortunately (for him), so am I.

If you like, I have NO qualms in sending the fake "I am about to pay WU fees to you" and see if he runs with it. Seems my romance boi has dumped me

If he is indeed the same young schoolboi scammer, and proves to be running another scam, he obviously didn't learn his lessons yet. Beat the crap out of him some more then, I say. "Crime doesn't pay." needs to be beaten into his skull, maybe. Evil or Very Mad

As much as it pains me to say this, SOOI has the best idea. If you don't want to ASEM him, PM me his email addy, I'll check him out and let you know if he is a fruadstar, or just a beggar.

Other than that, a good rule of thumb is, if it makes you uncomfortable, don't do it. There are plenty of lads out there.

I decided to place a call to our pal Lucas (Chiji) just for shits and giggles.

^^^ Really hope that Lucas comes through with that photo, Nowhere Man.

If this really is the same lad, then here's a link to the video apology from him as he pleads poverty while sitting in his car recording himself on his expensive smart phone. Click to see video of Lucas' grovelling apology

I'm still baiting him from This thread. I told him that my payments offcer was abducted by violent kidnappers while on the way to meet him in Benin City. Never one to miss an opportunity, Lucas is now sending me ransom notes from a new email address demanding money for the safe release of my officer.

Here's just a small sample of what he's sending me now. This one was received yesterday.

From Lucas posing as the kidnappers
