And it seems to be my first post too, so hello guys Smile

Well, I decided to go into the scambaiting game, and after setting up a good deal of fake Gmail accounts, I put up my catcher on some guestbooks. I've already gotten several lads write to me, but I'd like to share the first lad-mail with the eater community

This looks like a charity scam. I have one of my characters on him already, but you can take him too. My lad is your lad Smile

Hello, and welcome to eater! Smile

That looks more like a begging email to me, which we don't touch.

I can't see anything that the lad is offering you, but is simply telling you about his charity so far.

I'd be tempted to err with the side of caution and let this one go.

Welcome Probie! Ditto on what Sheep said. There are plenty of dishonest lads out there for the torturing!
Have fun!

Thanks for the welcome Smile

If this proves to be an honest begging letter, I won't be messing with him anymore. It did seem rather unusual compared to what I've read here (lurked a bit before signing up), but I was excited to have gotten a mail in my catcher. If he replies, I'll ask for a website and check if it looks legit.

I have the classic "we offer you this big amount of money" and a love scam in my inbox too, they deserve torturing.

Welcome to Eater, TheProbie!

If you are in the need for other lads, make sure you check out our Surplus. Pick a couple of choice ones that catch your attention from there and just reply away. In a few days, you will have plenty of lads to give special attention to! Very Happy

Actually, I got 6 lad-mails today, and that is 6 lad-mails not counting the one in my original post. 3 classic 419-scams and 3 love scams.

Calvary greetings, Probie! Keep us in mind when you score your millions. Razz

Hiya,
I'm baiting this lad already !! I thought it was a charity scam at first, but he goes to ask for some money to help his church-he doesn't present a scam as such. He sent me about 10 photos and a fake ID, but never offered a scam...so I just let it go !

Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2010 11:43 am

Probie, you might want to google the lad's addy and see if any 419 action shows up. Although e_sheep is correct that we don't bait beggars, some lads use a begging format as just another what to cheat people out of their money. So, if you can connect this lad to clear evidence of scamming, I would say have it him. If not, leave him alone.

Good point Raga Smile

Ah my first lad... I remember him fondly. "Barrister Kinsmann Remmy" ([email protected], bouncing last I checked). He was a great lad, never once complained, till the end. He made good use of the RSOT, and went out in style, with a great rant, all in nice big bold red letters, a la gmail text editor. crying

Happy baiting and great memories!

Today this Indian music guy has replied me, too. Have you continued with him? I wonder if he is only a beggar...

EDIT OK. Elijahsmummy has answered this question Smile

I remember my first lad. I was so nervous. After awhile you get over it and that’s when the real fun starts.
