Hi guys and girls!
I am new to the scambaiting profession yet incredibly keen to take these suckers for all they've got!

I looked in my hotmail junk folder where it automatically puts junk e-mails and lo and behold, there were plenty to choose from!

I replied to oceanic bank yesterday and was excited to receive their reply!

You can see I have taken ideas, inspirations and lines from baits I have read in the archives on here! Desperately seeking advice on where I can take this now and what to reply with Smile

They don't seem to be taking any bait so far... I haven't really got any personal response to anything i've said so don't know whether this one is just best left!

Thankyouuu!

cat + pigeons

see below for convo so far... I'd replied a bit too excitedly from my own personal e-mail (though tbh its just a junky hotmail account full of rubbish anyway and with no personal details on... so quickly created a new miscellaneous account to contact for my baits. My reply is in bold. I made a lovely company header for P.O.O technologies too! Very Happy

Dear Mr. White,

Thank you for your email, and I feel sorry for your plight. It is very good of you to be so kind to try and ensure that my FUND reaches me. I am very interested in receiving my FUND and want to help you in any way that I can to ensure that we can properly carry out this transaction.

The only thing I ask is that I must be 100% assured of your honesty and identity. I am a multimillionaire businesswoman. I own my own IT (Information Technology) company, POO, providing practice operating and online IT systems to companies, and I NEVER enter into any business deal without cast iron security and confidence in my partners. If you are able to prove your identity and honesty to me in a 100% reliable way then I will be happy to help you and would be keen to pay the $77 dollars you need to enable this transaction to take place. I am a generous woman and recognise how much hard work you are putting into this to ensure my FUND reaches me and I want to make sure that you are well rewarded as I don't imagine that the bank pays you very much. Therefore, provided you help me as I require, I should like to pay you as a thank you bonus a sum of $500 dollars. Would this be acceptable to your bank and your managers for me to do this?

Unfortunately though sir, we may have a problem. The way I like to have proof of identity of my business partners is to meet with them. Unfortunately this will be impossible for the next couple of weeks as I have urgent business that needs attending to. I am in intense negotiations to buy a factory in Singapore that makes incontinence pads and laxatives, and so flying out to meet with you is not an option at the moment.
I am afraid a passport or personal ID will not be suitable as I know that such things are easily forged. Here is my suggestion that could lead to a quick and profitable solution. Would you agree to have your picture taken holding my company logo? If you are able to send me a photograph of yourself holding my company logo then this would be irrefutable proof that the person in the photograph is you. In that case I would be very happy to continue with the transaction to make sure my FUND reaches me.
Please signal your agreement to this proposition and I will forward the relevant logo/information to you.

Sincerely,

Mrs Emma.Royds

Best advice is to go over to Eater U in the forum and sign up for a mentor. You'll get assigned a veteran baiter who will give you private 1 on 1 tuition. I did it a few years ago when i started.

Well done on choosing to give these heartless criminals a hard time.

At this stage you are still in their scripted stage. They wont take any bait because the lad sending you these probably doesnt read your response at the moment. He just sends out loads of these, most go nowhere. If he gets a reply he sends the next boilerplate email in his series. if he keeps getting replies he bumps it up the chain and either passes it off to his boss or if he is on his (or her) own starts to read the responses.

At this stage I normally just reply with a subject line of 'Funds' or 'Deal' and text of 'Tell me more' or 'how interesting' etc There is someone in another thread who reckons they send back blank emails and still get through to the next stage.

Once you have been explained how you will send them WU payments in return for millions and once they have asked you for some validation forms etc and once you start getting back stuff that is shorter, not pre canned and possibly in even worse english, then it is time to start manipulating the lad.

Good luck!

I have had reasonable luck with the recent acquisition of that bank by Ecobank. Google the real Ecobank. Find the press release and ask the lad why they are still using the old name. To add to the confusion, ask for the address of that branch. Then get a WU for the lad and FAX the info to the bank branch, or to the bank head office with instructions to get it to that lad at his new not yet listed branch. Email is not secure. A fax is much better. Enjoy the fireworks.

Oh, and get a mentor. Never send money for any reason. Do not give any real life details.

When they tell you that the fax is broken, have him explain why you got a reply fax back from the bank. Of course the real bank dolla chopped his money to open your new account. You can give him a MTCN, but it is already gone.

Another varient if you are in the UK, you opened a new account in your local branch as the bank is international and has branches in the UK.. You saved the Westy fees that way.

Like bluebaiter said, your still on the script stage, and its going to take your greedy lad a bit of persuasion to get him off, hint that you have money, or that you are in any way vulnerable, you'll make his pupils turn to dollar signs!

Seeing as its your first bait, don't try any trophy baiting, learn their reactions and how they work, and if he gets serious, start going for those lovely trophies Very Happy

Goodluck!

Good spot!
Its vital that you follow this rule, especially with Hotmail not being capable of blocking IP.

Is this a Fake Bank I see before me ?

If it isn't already there - post the e-mail, together with the expanded headers in the Fake Bank Forum and I'm sure our FB Killers will have a look at it.

Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2011 7:46 pm

Welcome to Eater!

Please don't post identifying details of a bait in this forum; some baits have been lost for doing that. Post it in Hints and Tips, which only members can see.

^Seconded. Post the email with the fake bank URL in the fake bank forum and kill it.
