Hey everyone! I'm glad to be here.

I ran into a bunch of really wild and crazy baiters from this site in Chicago over the weekend and had a blast listening to stories about messing with scammers and getting funny pictures and stuff. I had a realy good time talking with a couple of the gals but when I asked for their names they just laughed and said they couldn't tell me. Anyways, this looks like fun and I am looking forward to playing along!!

Welcome poisson!! I'm sure you were told in Chicago about safe baiting and getting a fictional email character and signing up for a mentor if you want to fast-track to the fun. But tell us more about these gals...

Hi all, new to this site (only found it a few hours ago), and I like what I've read so far. I have done some baiting of my own in the past, but that has been on the phone (Microsoft call anyone?).

I don't think I'll be doing any scambaiting via the interwebsuperinformationhighway because I don't have the time. I will, however, be visiting this forum to cheer the rest of you on. Because it's funny. Give 'em hell!

Hey guys,

Been baiting for fun for a while. I found this site (about a month ago) and relised that im a little fish in a big pond. A question, is there a forum where i can put fishing emails i get. I have a very old email address which can get 10+ fishing emails from 419 scammers evey day and i might as well share. Before i started baiting i stopped using this email adddress because of these bloody emails(didnt know at the time i could bait them).

Anyhow, I looked and am I right there is no mentors at the moment? Is there a way to get on a waiting list for the waiting list:P

Hey guys! I'm rather new to scambaiting. I've heard of it but never did anything in the field.
Recently the mails for money transactions and romantical involvements with people from several African states are getting too much (and annoying). Not that I don't have another email- account... Wink

Anyway, I admire the work you are doing here and I'd really like to help. I may be just a small fish- but I'm already happy if I can steal some lads' time and stop him/her from fooling other people who see hope in those mails. Smile

I run my own email server for my family. After spending all the energy, time and $$ required on filters and the like, just to make (email) usable, I've decided to look into this as a form of therapy.

It will be a while before I am comfortable "baiting", but I will definitely enjoy reading and learning here.

All the best.

Hi! I'm a new member here, looking veeery much forward to have some baiting fun Very Happy

I think i'll enroll in the Mentor program and see how this goes Smile

Welcome to Eater Smile

.

@litho - are you using personal information to bait the lad, or just some stuff you've thought up?

Here's my general list of advice to newbies
- read the stickies
- get a mentor
- read ongoing and finished baits
- bait safe
- have fun Smile

I actually replied before registering on here - but all i wrote was "i am very interested, please send more information". After reading the stickies i see that i didn't go wrong with this Very Happy

I did read through the newbie info, i know that's not a lot as there's so much info on the forum, but it did give me some useful ideas about what to do next Smile

Some of the baiting stories i read on here are simply too hilarious - you guys have the best imagination Very Happy

Mod edit - No need for the full quote - just make it a conversation Wink

^^ - As long as you're not using any information on your e-mail account that can be tracked back to you as a person, you're doing it right.

The newbie info is a really good start, and reading some baits gives a good pointer by itself. Eater U, and mentors are highly recommended, and for a good reason.

Hello everyone,

I'm a noob when it comes to actual scambaiting, but hopefully I'll get to the point where I can share a story with you all.in other words I will IMMEDIATELY share me mugu ok.

Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:20 am

^^ We were all noobs once. If you follow the advice I posted a few posts up, and get a mentor (they're really good to get), you'll become a good baiter, and hopefully have a nice sigline to show for it Smile

Hi, I am new to this game, I have baited before but before I knew of this community, so very unprofessionally. I have two lads on hooks, right now, one who wants my church to sponsor his orphans, one who is offering me unknown millions.

Here's the thing, being ambitious I aim to get the orphan lad to get a tattoo, and the getrichquick lad to safari. Yeah, yeah, I know, but there's no harm in trying.

The getrichquick lad is most interesting, as we are both flying blind. I replied to a generic scammail to the effect that I had paid 7,500US by WU, had the final cash ready for the agreed meet (UK), and lost contact.

He of course thinks I have been scammed, and that he is picking up on someone else's trail. He tells me not to email the original person (naturally) but of course has no idea what I have been told.

This has not got far yet, but I would appreciate any advice in how to force him off the elec payment script and hurry up with getting some UK cronie to take my $22,250 cash off me.

I am begging to be mugged, will hand over cash in return for an envelope of papers, and even prepared to bring more cash. Having spent $7,500 already, I am clearly easy pickings. Any thoughts ??

For a tattoo or safari I suggest slow straight baiting to really convince them you are serious.

Hi everyone. On-and-off scambaiter here. I've been playing with scammers for around half a decade now in various degrees of intensity, as distant as random insults and as near as shoulder swipes. Figured I might try the community thing for a while. Smile

Hi!

I an new to this forum and am running my first 419 baiting with Mawa Mamba (she has past form). I am thinking of sending a REAL £1 via Western Union and then changing the authentic transfer document to £1000 before scanning.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Sending them money, regardless of the amount, defeats the purpose.

And welcome to all since my last post!

Welcome WormBaiter and everyone:

In the attached link, a baiter suggested spending $1.00 to get a live MTCN, which, by the way, would cost $14-$15 + the $1.00. http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=216269&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=april+fools&start=0

This is the MOD (Ima Baeder) response:

Quote:

It isn't good practice, nor something we condone here at Eater, to send live MTCNs to lads. They can, and will, reuse them on victims when they realize they can't pick it up. A live MTCN is a tool we don't want baiters handing to them.

Therefore, I think it is the end of the discussion of spending a small dollar amount for a "live" number just to send to the lad.

Hey friends

I am a 25 year old college student here in the states majoring in Meteorology and Archaerology, although that is subject to change as I take more classes that catch my interest. Anyway, I came here after my friends dad, and first real boss fell victim to a love scam after his divorce from his wife. (Who my friends and I have had a crush on for a very long time..) He got burned to the tune of ten grand, hints the name, chipsrevenge. I have been rustling around in the amateur world of craigslist scams for a while and decided after this to move into the big leagues. Although I have a heavy class load I hope to hone my skills during breaks and free time. Reading these published baits makes this seem like a worthy use of my time. I look forward to being a worthy member here.

Hey y'all...I'm a newbie. Been doing this since yesterday and with my seeds that I planted on guest books I must say they are coming in like flies on shiite....lol

Any tips are always appreciated, and if anyone mentors I'd be interested in that as well.
