I've been so spoiled lately on baiting my two favorite lads, R3chel M1ke and Br3nda B@rabash (two lads who will believe anything I tell them and jump through just about any hoop I throw at them) that I've nearly forgetten how much fun regular old straightbaiting can be.

Meet Jim. Jim in an elderly man. He has no clue how Western Union works, doesn't own a scanner, and his internet savvy is limited to sending e-mails. Jim also has Altzheimers. Jim likes to respond to NOK scams. The only problem is that Jim sometimes (and by "sometimes", I mean "often") forgets that he's not actually supposed to be related to the deceased person that he's to inherit the money from. It's not Jim's fault. Altheimer's just makes it hard for him to remember these things. Still, it make things very frustating for the mugu who's trying to get Jim's money. Let's watch:

Finance House

Quote:

Dear Esteemed Customer,

We do not seem to understand why you are delaying forwarding the payment details to us to reactivate your late brother's account, what does it take to send details of the payment you made? Normally, you are expected to scan the copy of the payment slip and forward to us, this you have not done... <blah, blah, blah>

Jim

Quote:

What late brother are you talking about? I never had any brothers. I had three sisters but no brothers. I'm afraid I don't understand you.

Lawyer

Quote:

Dear Jim,

Scan the payment slip to the Finance House or email the right digits number in the payment slip to the Finance House so that account will be reactivated and fund ready for transfer to your nominated account as soon as we present the Sworn of Affidavit to the Finance House.

My late client Mr. Larry *DELETED* may not be related to you but as this matter is concern he may be refereed to as may be from the Finance House or even from the Law Court of Scotland where we will be applying for the Affidavit your late Brother because we claiming fund because you bear the same surname with my late client. So let it be Noted and stop questioning the Finance House about you not having a late Brother because i was notify again by the Finance House that you are yet to send the payment information and you are claiming that you do not have a late brother.

I told the Finance House that you forget things easily and that is why you may say such a thing. Mr. Jim my integrity as an Attorney is at stake here. Scan the payment Details or Send the right digits number to the Finance House.

Note Mr. Jim that you are not disclose this transaction to anyone till fund hits your nominated account.

Get back to me as soon as you scan the payment slip to the Finance House.

This is by far not the first time Jim has had this little slip up in this bait. This is only the latest. My hope is that, if Jim can frustrate this particular mugu enough, maybe this guy will think twice if he ever comes across a real victim with Alzheimers. And I'll admit, it's a little personal for me. My mother-in-law has dementia. Every time I hear a story about these filthy pieces of scum targeting someone elderly, someone with one of these disorders, knowing that they can convince them to send payment after payment because the victim will simply forget that the money has already been sent, it makes my blood boil a little. This is my revenge. Evil or Very Mad

That is too funny, would you mind if I used that tactic one day. Also I would like to introduce my self. Music man is my mentor. Im really no good at these forum postings so I probally wont talk much unless through PM. And I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but today I used the fake newspaper found in the tricks section and it worked great. My lad is so excited now that I almost feel sorry for him.

Welcome to Eater deadk1ng! Glad you got yourself a mentor. That's the best way to learn the ropes here.

Feel free to use this tactic or anything else you see here. That's what baiters do that makes us so awesome. We share ideas with each other and help each other become better at our baits.

And try to not feel too bad for your lad. He's scum. I can guarantee it. Wink

Hey, watch it! That last remark perfectly resembles me!!

Unless a bait really calls for a response daily or every other day, I pretty much don't "tend the garden" except every few days, esp. when they are being whiny.

^ Hehe. Thanks. Jim's one of my favorite characters because it's so easy for him to frustrate mugus and they're willing to put up with a lot of his crap, probably because they think that a victim with Altzheimer's will be a ticket to a lot of easy money. Not so with Jim.

He doesn't just forget that he's supposed to lie about being related to the deceased client. He forgets everything else, too. When he was supposed to send the MTCN for the MG payment, he sent an 11 digit number. After about a week of going back and forth, and an abandoned attempt to get his daughter to scan the payment slip for him, the lawyer is desperately imploring Jim to send the correct MTCN to the Finance House. This is Jim's latest e-mail to the lawyer:

Quote:

Regarding the transaction number, I have sent it to the Finance House. I don't understand what the problem is. Why can't they just pick up the funds? Do they not understand simple instructions? I'm beginning to become very frustrated.

One of the best aspects of this bait is that I haven't used any of the fancy baiter tricks. I didn't send anything for the ID request, I didn't make a fake MG form. I did give a phone number but it's one of those out-of-service numbers. I haven't really done anything but send lots and lots of hilarious e-mails. Sometimes keeping it simple can be just as good.

Cheers

I've baited as a 93 year old with alzheimers myself more than once. It's great fun to do (for me that is), and you can just drift off into the "good old days".

For extra shits and giggles, I sometimes pretend I fought them in the war Wink

^ Excellent. I'll have to keep that little nugget in mind. Althought my current NOK lad is pretending to be British and, as old as Jim is, I don't think he's Revolutionary War old.

how about having Jim believing in Past Life Regression? He could have been a Revolutionary war soldier.

Or even better with the dementia he could actually start to believe he is one.

Just a few ideas.

why not have Jim be German then? You get to say "Don't mention the war" over and over again Wink

or have him paranoid that everyone IS a Nazi, and your lad hast prove he isn't!

Hahahahhaha... I love playing Jim so much! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I just got this e-mail from a very upset lawyer:

Quote:

Dear Mr Jim,

We have wasted weeks on a transaction that would take just few days, with all the wasted weeks we are yet to complete transaction. Am runing out of patient with you.

The Finance House are yet to reactivate account because they have not received the payment details you claimed to have made.i instructed you to go back to the moneygram office and demand for only the transaction number to pick fund but have not read from you since, Despite your health condition, it does not stop you from following directives and instructions in getting things done. The Finance House are now doubting your integrity as a person and even me. For my integrity to be questioned i think i have to caceall this transaction and simply inform the Finance House that i contacted and presented to them the wrong person to save my name, reputation and integrity because your actions to the finance house is degrading my personality..

Let me know your stand now. Am Very unhappy with you.

Attorney Sarah Nan.

That last sentence has had me in an uncontrollable giggle fit for the last 10 minutes. Oh God, here it comes again! Hahahahaha!
