Everybody gets these guys, the ones that are executors for some distant relative in the Middle East, and a sudden death has left you loaded. Normally, I just delete them, because I really don't have the time or desire to bait these guys. This one, though, contacted me not through my email, but through my personal message board at an online magazine I write for, which for some reason really pushes a button with me. So, if anyone wants to bait him, feel free. His name is Bharat Muhammed, and apparently, he can be reached at

I'm not used to reading the forums. I usually just come here and read some good baiting stories, so I hope I'm not breaking any rules or overstepping my bounds listing him, here.

Hi there

Apart from posting in the wrong part of the forum you're not, but could you please provide the full script? It's standard procedure when posting scammer addresses. Thanks, and welcome!

Sorry, it had not occurred to me that in order to bait this guy, one would need to reply as if they had actually been contacted by him. The script follows:

Sub.:I want you to stand as a next of kin to my late client:

I think what Caligula meant is that it is usual and customary to also post up the header information along with the script the lad sent. If you need help finding the header, use this link for more info: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=190170

You can also use this tool for ascertaining where the email was coming from (unless of course they used something like Gmail or other email stripping provider) http://www.iptrackeronline.com/header.php For using IP tracker, just cut n paste what you find for the header information and paste into the block for email header analysis and hit the submit button. In seconds you should have a location unless of course they are using the aforementioned email stripping provider.

This is the only header that exists for the message, because he made a Suite101 account and, I expect, messaged several users. His account no longer exists.
