Not sure if this has been discussed in the past, but I figured it would be a fun topic of discussion...... So here it is:

What's the most amount of money you have forced a single lad to waste on a bait? Obviously you will have to estimate, as it's impossible to come up with an exact number. For sake of argument let's not include internet costs (let's just assume they would have the internet whether they were scamming or not). So internet fees aside, let's total up some bills.....

I have a few safaris under my belt and those can be costly for the lad. But the ones that have spent any length of time away from home have not had the luxury of lodging at a hotel. They have slept outside, which tends to make it cheaper.
I had one lad who claimed to have spent over $500 a night for two nights in a hotel. That is of course bullshit, especially since he blew more money on the trip then he was supposed to receive. But it gives an idea that it is very hard to estimate these things.

But a few hundred dollars for a international safari is probably not a bad guess, at least if the lad flies, which some do. But as i said, very hard to estimate.

Very hard to confirm but I'd say the safaris by far I've been involved with cost the lads the most money.

You never know what's true. Most tell you they lost all their money from immigration crossing the border. They also all seem to have had to sell their watches.

^^^ Or their kidneys Rolling Eyes

If the lads only didn't lie...
My lad claimed it cost him 2600$ to get from Ghana to Togo with his cousin (the only safari in my sig Laughing

)

If it really did (of course it did not) it would be really nice expense...
