I've got a new lad on the go who today asked me for a "consultancy" fee of $2,050 via Moneygram or Western Union. He also told me if I wanted I could do a bank transfer to his account, the details of which he duly sent me. I have forwarded them to Alan the bank account closer man.
I've only been scambaiting for about a week and two of my lads lost interest early on but I feel this is a good result. Of course I'll wait a couple of days and then complain that the account is closed...maybe he'll give me another one or maybe I'll torment him with an unobtainable MTCN via MTCN Vault. Wink

Yeah, some baits do end rather quickly but sounds like you are on the right path with this lad. Enjoy his forthcoming misery! Very Happy

I love lads who offer up bank accounts without even being asked. Very Happy

Enjoy your Closed lad accounts

May they be fruitful and multiply!

Thank you all, I'm going to enjoy roasting this little piggie. Speaking of which, since I'm new, how do I get my piggie if this account turns out to be a scamming account and is closed. How also will I know it's been closed?

Typically, you won't know if the account gets closed and you don't need confirmation of closure to claim your piggy. Piggies are on the honor system so just reporting the bank account is sufficient.

You can claim your piggie by editing your profile and putting "$_lad" in your siggy. No quotes and put a colon at each end.

@Jimlad I usually don't tell the lad their account has been closed. I usually tell them my bank has advised there is a "problem" with the wire transfer and they seem to be unable to resolve it. And I am vague about what the problem is.

Thus, you will need a second bank account.

I have gotten 2 piggies out of one lad like that.

Thanks for that Morgain. For this bait my chrarcter is a reverend who's emigrated from Scotland to Florida and at the moment I'm claiming that I can't get to the bank in time to do the transfer because of the time difference. The bank's always closed by the time I get the Florida branch to fax them. I've asked my lad therefore to contact my retired friend, Ignatius Niblung Goosecreature so he can do it and of course the lad will have to explain everything again from scratch as the good reverend is a bit doddery.

Kudos to the sigline and location, JimLad.

Wait, was that a genuine Richard the Third?

Oh yes! A small brown one.

I need some help here. My lad hasn't fallen for the "your bank account has a problem" line and is saying that it's the only one he has and I can alternatively go to Malaysia to pay him in person. What's the best tack to take here?

Goshdarnit.

I guess you will HAVE to use Moneygram or Western union now...

Thanks! As long as it messes with his pointless head! I'll get right onto it.

Why not ask him to come to you??? You hear Malaysia's such a nasty place now that Australia is dumping their unwanted there. And maybe use the fake airline ticket generator is help and tips to make him a ticket
