Anyone know any reason why mail.com shouldn't be used for catcher/baiting accounts? Is it not IP safe?
They have some great free email names and they are really easy to join and set up. Currently I have accounts using therapist and financier with job specific addresses but I'm also tempted by priest and rescue team! |

mail.com DOES offer some nice domains but doesn't strip your IP.
Why not setting up a test account, send a mail to one of your other accounts and check the headers through http://www.iptrackeronline.com
If the result doesn't pinpoint you to the street where you live you might decide to have a go with it - if you're too paranoid about it, let it go then |

Thought that might be the case, Bobdemol. IPtracker pinpoints my area but not street specific. That's good enough for me. I think used sparingly as side characters these type of addresses that aren't gmail or yahoo or all the other ones lads are familiar with can lend a useful air of authenticity! |

^^ Thanks for the warning!
They do say "Where there's a will there's a way".
Mind you they also say "Where there's a will there's a Dakar orphanage." I will take both on advisement. |

It definitely depends on whereyour IP places you. For me, for both my home and work it locates about 2 - 3 miles from where I live/work. However, for my work, the information returned from the IP address gives the company name. |

The problem I see with using mail.com addys is they are VERY well known by lads. Searching @lawyer.com on scamwarners produces 198 pages of results.
Lads may peg you for a joker pretty quick. |

I have a lad using @consultant.com for his lawyer. I tried contacting mail.com to have them close it, but no luck. It unfortunately does seem rather credible to a potential victim when a lawyer contacts them from such a domain. |

I think mail.com addresses still fall under free email addresses that we do not kill. Unfortunately it really is a lads dream true. I see a lot of @USA.com used for military romance scammers. The good thing is since they are used a lot there are tons of search results found on the interwebs. |

@Duffy Duck:
for a victim any email address seem legit if it has fallen for the scam - I hope I don't have to remind you that we are not killing email addresses (see our guidelines for that)
