I wonder how many of you can remember the name associated with the first 419 E-mail you received. Mine was R0sa Fuma and it was the old help me get my money out of the country scheme. I tried to google the name and not much came up.

Maybe this has been covered before in a previous thread. If so, I'm sorry.

Mine was Ge0rge Padm0re, the charitylad who gave me my first two piggies.

Mine was Peter Wong. He gave me a flag and a piggy. He was so incredibly naive that, if I came across him now, I thing I could make him go on foot from Honk Kong to San Francisco.

My first lad was Kevin and he gave up a piggy and a flag. I just read the bait the other day I have it in a word doc. It's funny how much you learn with some experience. I'm just glad I had my mentor Raga to help me stubble through my first few baits Smile

IIRC, my first poor attempt was a Mrs. Charity Innocent.

I fondly remember Mr John Dickson, who was my fist lad. Odd thing is that he got his dolla shopped some time in to the bait and i had two people that i dealt with promising the same money. Very confusing for a new baiter. But i did get a piggy and a nice rant from them. Apparently i am a disgrace to all Germans. Kudos to the now absent mr.scissorkick who mentored me.

Angel Philip. I was far too eager and she dropped me when I tried to get a trophy pic.

I don't know if it was the very first email I received when I started baiting, but my first bait was Joyce Awuse, Senegalese refugee love lad.

Rose Davins, who I had on the hook for two years on and off. She still thinks I'm a Ukrainian prostitute in Barcelona, on the run from crooked cops in Baltimore. Good times.

Paul Arumah was my first. A bank manager who noticed that his branch produced a few million dollars more than they were supposed to. He offered me 30%, but I managed to talk him into giving me 45%. Then he dropped me when I pushed for more. Good times, good times.

On a side note, nice to see you're still around, bohigal!

Good old Leo Stan Ekeh -- the lottery lad whose rant is recorded in the third entry of my signature line below and provided the inspiration for my custom tag. Coming up empty after three trips to WU seems to have left him in an irritable frame of mind.

Miss Gloria Guei. She was a refugee, called me "Dear Beloved" and sent me pictures of herself in a bathing suit.

I had just gotten my computer and had never heard of Nigerian scammers so was a little puzzled.

I can't really remember the first I dealt with since I used to just flame these people until I came here. But the first one I started to scam was named Yai Sata.

Mine was Eric Marshal of Erico investment Plc. Tried to sell me oil.
Because of where my baiting character lived, the guy was going to send it all over in boat-planes, (the sheer quantity in weight would have meant several dozen trips and cost in aviation fuel more than the worth of the oil) bless. Smile

He gave me my first piggy.

We still exchange pleasantries every few months. Now you've reminded me of him, I think I'll drop him a line. Twisted Evil

Linda Ajana, currently being baited (again) for like 3rd time Very Happy

Tom nDaubo in Nigeria: http://www.419eater.com/html/hall_of_shame20.htm Safari'd his 2 cohorts (one called Ahmed Bashiru) in UK twice in 3 days.

Mr. Douif, which I gradually changed to Duffy Duck (hence my user name). I can't really remember what his scam was all about, but I do remember that I convinced him to take pictures of the flying Red District Penguin of Amsterdam, where he lived.

I can remember my Barrister from the UK very well, it was the common NOK scam but I cannot remember his name... I am pretty sure it was something with Chambers...
it was an awful bait but I learned a dozen lessons until he dropped me after one week...
the most important lesson was that lads using their real location for the scam are much more fun...

I cannot recall my first bait.

However I can recall my first mass bait -- the little boy (Henry) in prison with trunks at the airport and the Barrister Peter Wms. I cannot recall how many of us there were (most of us were on the council for the LAD church).

Eventually it simmered down, but not without Sister Lucy having a heart attack due to the porn the barrister "accidentally" sent. She was hospitalized and subsequently had a heart transplant (a chipmunk heart as she was such a small woman).

dwatina, physicbait and I soldiered on and the barrister came to absolutely hate dwatina's character. Many months later, the barrister came back to dwatina's character (sometimes you don't really lose these lads). At this point after some wild phone calls, the barrister now really really hates Jeremiah (doc's character)....................and "hate" is a mild word for how Wms feels

Mine was Elena Zykova a Vlad love scam - "She" gave me 3 months of amusement and a bank account - I gave her diddly squat.

I remember asking if she was a natural blonde and after some explaining she replied "Yes. Hair below dark. I have understood your question." I photochopped a boat with her name on it. The things you do for love...

Can't remember my first bait, it was too long ago, but one of my best was a funds transfer scam where we never even got as far as contacting the lawyer. The initial scammer character fell in love with 'me' and 'divorced' his wife. He then sent me hand written poetry and pictures of flowers that he drew.

My first proper bait was mary Iker from the M.E. Foundation, she claimed she was raising money for the Haiti disaster. I think we all got piggies from her.
