Hello I'm New here! Joined: 23 Dec 2011 Posts: 1

Just wanted to say hello, always lurked around as I hate these muggy scammy lowlifes and find it amusing how you are able to string them along and give it them back. I run my own online business and receive around 2 of these emails a day and decided I would have a go myself.

I still don't get how in this day an age people fall for it , but obviously they still do.

Anyway hope to get to know others

That's right if they didn't the lads wouldn't be sending out all the emails. They seem silly to us but its a big world out there. There are a lot of people out there that do not speak English as a first language, new to the interwebs or just plain gullible. It's a huge misconception the lads just target rich Westerners. They target everyone.

As Baitsamurai points out, one doesn't have to be stupid to fall for a scam.

A lot of scams targets the greed of a person, but certaing scams, such as love scams, hitman scams and charity scams are a different kind. They target something entirely different are can that way be much harder to defend yourself against (hitlads make up for it by usually being really god damn stupid, which is why we love them here)

and in many cases there is a difference between greed and the idea that one finally got lucky... and some only want a good job...

best thing a baiter can do is to post mails at scamwarners and then show the lad that some victims can be very complicated...
