Hello all. Call me Gary, call me G but prefer you call me Gunfiter. I have been screwing with scammers for a long time. I was certain I was not alone with my hobby but I had no idea it seems to becoming an organized sport. This is great and I look forward to reading some stories and sharing

Thx
Gunfiter

Hello all,

Having recently been an avid reader of this forum and nearly wet myself with laughter over the many funny scambaits posted here, I just had to join and take part.

Admittedly I am rather green in this field but due to the influx of 419 hitting my spam account trap plus the missus inbox, I feel it is time to fight back and turn it from an inconvenience to a positive.

Will be reading the tuts for further giudes etc, sio wish me luck in my ventures Smile

I recently posted some items for sale on Craigslist and as you all know, I have been barraged by scammers. I have decided to turn the tables on them, I am working on one right now. I have had fun with some of these folks previously but because of me recently finding this site, I have come to the realization that I have been doing it all wrong. I hope to learn as much as possible from you all and in the process laugh my ass off.

Thank you for making me laugh all of last night reading some of your masterful pieces of work.

Welcome all! Bait safe and be all fakey now, hear me?
Very Happy

Craigslist scammers send to everyone for everything, so just make up a new name, email, item, and ridiculous price, and they will send you a fine fake check for double the amount, or something.... Wink

As long as it has the bailing attachment, it should sell. Very Happy

re-edit: Like one of these....

Hello, I'm not completely new, but I did finally register myself an account. While I'm neither a pirate nor a lesbian I am a female who does enjoy a good one-up-manship, so Mary Read seemed an appropriate nick for this forum!

Welcome to the monkey house MaryRead, Maire Ruadh may have been as good as well.

Settle in, read around, bait safe, grab a lad from Surplus if you need one, and remember to read Eater U.

Hi there
I read quite a bit and decided to register. I appology just once for my english, as my mother tongue is german. Very Happy

I have been scammed by a guy trough facebook. The crazy thing is, I did as much research as I could, but unfortunately I did not know the word SCAM and FRAUD.
Anyway- I lost some money- learned a great lot. I'm not ruined by this story- (but it hearts) and I do have quite a few information about this rats.

I do know another lady from Canada, she lost much more money trough the same guy.

He said he is mexican living in New York- I didn't even think he could be someone else. The address/name from there is real.
He was really good, knew exactly what to say and so on.

The best thing about all this is, I really got trough my anger into my power, can stand up much better now for me and now I put more effort into my little business. And I guess it did heal my pattern of needing to help others.

I would like to provide you my information and I would like to send them some really nasty sms. Cool

wouldn't mind a bit of help.

Enough for the moment?

Orange Rose

PS. To read some of your storys made me laugh- you are doing a great job!

Good morning/afternoon/evening all. I hope this is in the right topic. I've been lurking about and reading a lot in here the last week or more, and I like what I see. I'm working on getting a mentor. I'm not sure that I am ready to start baiting yet, but having the know-how of an experienced baiter may push me that direction.

Welcome next victim (i hope not... Laughing

)

Try to register for a mentor now, you need to have posted once before it will allow you to do so !

Aren't I supposed to live in that victim mode? Or at least create victims on that other side? I will sign up for a mentor now that I know the drill. Apparently I got ahead of myself and try to sign up for one before I ever posted here. Bad career my move I reckon!

Thanks for the welcome! Now I have to go organize all of the bookmarks that have built up in here.

Hello, i'm in the process of starting my first few baits. I have a few long(er) term goals (involving a modelling company and some trophies my friends bet me i couldn't get) but starting off steadily. Very impressed with the resources in the Eater U by the way...

Welcome Bagelman1. Feel free to read, borrow, and get some tips at the Moosechuckle Modeling thread.

It's a difficult modality to motivate the lads, but with enough effort on your part you will surely win your bet with your friends. Best of luck finding your gems. Smile

Welcome to all new members, too. Smile

Hey all!

I've been lurking the forums for a couple of days, and reading the letters archives for longer. After stopping a couple of people from work falling victim, and unfortunately knowing someone else who has, I've decided whatever little time I can get out of them is a little less time they can get at others.

Time to swot up and use Photoshop for something other than tennis!
