Bambi,

I have some questions before we proceed.
* This is a large sum of money. How do we move it without anyone noticing?
* What is my percentage?
* How much tax will I have to pay on these funds?
* Are you sure that you are 100% homosexual?
* Are you flamboyant about it?
* Is this even legal?
* This sounds very dangerous. Will I get into trouble with my government?

Regards,

Harry Big Balls

Last year I was in a weird mood so I wrote to a lad while acting as if I were inside a bomb shelter, something like the vaults in the video game Fallout 3, and were under the impression that nuclear war had broken out. So I sent emails in all caps, of course, and made sure to be long winded as I asked about how this person (the lad) was communicating with us, where was he located and if there were other survivors with him, and how did he expect me to do a money transfer from within the bunker? The lad dropped me after a couple weeks. I think he got tired of my panicked messages and constant questions that were unrelated to helping him with his money. Sad

Hmmm let's see. I've done upside down text, pig latin, multiple translations from one language to another to another etc., currently attempting a bait in LOLCAT. As far as outlandish storylines... I have claimed to be in prison more than once & they never bat an eyelash, until it comes to figuring out how I can send them money since I can't go to WU. I have been a senile old man in a nursing home. I have been a child on daddy's laptop. I have been a material witness to a federal crime in hiding in the witness protection program. Can't think of any others right now. Funny (or sad) thing is that none of these storylines stopped them from trying to scam me. The senile old man and the child in particular were baits I did in response to one of the laddie hugger ethics nonsense threads.

@wowwow - LOL! That was pretty much what I was doing. I'm going to have to see if I can find those emails.

Fallout 3 was a great game if a little foreboding. Smile

Probably telling a whole bunch of "Senegal orphan in need of a foreign partner" lads that I was a 3500 year old dragon who was fond of tea; I even sent them a couple of pictures of myself (Kilgarragh from the TV series "Merlin", same one as I use in my avatar).

Didn't phase the lads one bit. They were quite happy to indulge me prattling on about tea and my fetish for having young ladies dress up as princesses Rolling Eyes

Putting Rick Rolls into my love lad baits has always amused me.........

Many thanks to the OP. I just got an idea for the next bit of the Insane bait.

Sorry DeProfundisClamoAdTeDomin if you send a bill for this, I will need your bank account to send payment! Wink

I wrote to a lad for a few emails by having my toddler hit the keyboard (it started by copying the "text" Bohigal's baby "typed" and using that to answer scripts). I turned it into a bait with a genius toddler. It didn't last long but there was a lad or two who were willing to scam a baby.

I think the funniest version of this sort of bait that I've seen is when Fatter Siam started typing jibberish to a lad after his character had brain damage, and was able to keep it going for months.

I'm not a Rick roller but I have had a few baits where I inserted band names or song titles into my replies just to entertain myself.

I find it depends on the lad and how long you've been baiting them, in regards to what you can say.

Hmm, here are a few of the crazy things I've said to lads.

I once pretended to be Colonel Kurtz from the movie Apocalypse Now. That was interesting, especially since he played right along.

Another time I was a Deadhead. I was a retired pie taster and was spending my life following the Dead. I don't think he ever realized that the Dead was a band. Cool

During the P0pe J0hn bait my character got hit by a car, and then was never right after that. Rµmpel Stiltskinne was in the hospital for several months and had lots of hallucinations.

With one hitlad bait I pretended that my character, an old Mexican lady, died out of fear, placing a curse on the lad with her final breath before she finally croaked. I then baited him from some other email addresses, and my characters said they had to discontinue the transaction as they had haunting dreams about an old lady who warned them about getting involved with him and how she was going to haunt the lad until death. I had a chuckle thinking of him spending all his money at the local jujuman trying to get rid of the curse.
I then thought about baiting him from 'beyond' the grave but by that time his email address was blocked.

One of my characters won "1.5m pounds" in a lottery and asked "How much is 1.5m pounds in grams?". Another time, she got a message about a Libyan detector ship and asked what it detects. In a bait in Spanish, she said "tengo una radio para llamar a la playa y hacer mi conexión a la red cuando no hay hielo, pero no tengo grey," where three words sound like English color words.

I once sent him a WU form written my best handwriting (i.e. impossible to distinguish any letter).
He dropped me.

Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2012 4:37 pm

I've had a character going to Mars for a geology project, a pirate baiting in Pirate Speech (saying YAARRRR me lad! a little too many times probably caused him to drop me), used stupid names and addresses like EIHAD KNOBETARIDEA 7, 5TU P1D WURSTNAM-EVAR, signed off with FU!!! (short for Ford 'Usband, future husband of my love-lad), etc...
Oh, and I once used the lyrics of Hey Jude in my email to a Barrister Jude, and they actually made sense in the context!
Sometimes it seems like you can feed them any kind of crap and they never smell it. Kind of sad really... Shocked

I have sometimes used basque surnames (Goikoetxea, Cenarruzabeitia, Garaikoetxea)... and try to force them to say them aloud, but they almost always call me by the first name (perhaps Aitor, Beñat, Maite were too easy).

I still have to use the mexican one (Robustiano Quetalpepetocatealgo).

Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 4:35 am

I thought it was a mountain or a bird at first, but it's a sentence! ¿Qué tal, Pepe, toca te algo?

I know "etxea" means "the house" and "maite" means "dear"; what's the rest?

We all know, sending money through subspace from moon to earth takes some time, and there could be money lost during the transfer.

Quote:

I: The money is on the way to earth,
Dai: Alright
So you have idea how long it will take?
I: a few days, they have triangulated the antennas quite well. money flux capacitor was fully loaded. and the relais were maintained recently
so should be quick
Dai: Say before 3 working days
I: I would say so
Dai: Oh ok
I: I just opened the report again, they state, that they even use bioneural gelpacks this time. It could be really quick
Dai: Alright

till now, I wanted to blame the solarstorm right now for the loss of the money (that will happen). but now, I think, it will be the iran, jamming the receiver antenna would be a great idea.

I was on the beaches of Yoshi's Island when the Jellyfish invaded. I lost 3 of my arms in that attack, and now I have to type with a hotdog in my mouth. It got even worse, because when I was being airlifted to the hospital, the General Electric Pterodactyl had an engine failure, I ended up breaking 50 ribs.

The lad wasn't very sympathetic, and just demanded the money sooner so that I could recover faster. Magical gold dust lad.

For those that may be concerned: Don't worry, we have finally started to push the jellyfish back into the water. Turns out they have a weakness: Peanut Butter Cannons.
