Hi!

I read an article about a norwegian guy who Baited two nigerian dudes to make some Billy Cart's because their International Billy Cart Racing Association was looking to expand in Africa. And in that Article I heard about you guys. I've been surfing the pages now for a few months, and I am impressed of your dedication.

I was wondering if you ever heard about this story? And if so, could anyone point me into the direction of the thread, if it even excist's here.

I am going to try this baiting thing myself. Seems like a funny thing to do.

I found it! At least I found a post that leads to a dead link. Sad

That's the one! I think that bait is hilarious. Since the thread is dead, I can try to find the blogg so people can read the story if there is any interest to it.

Here's the blogg. The emails are in english. But the notes he puts in are on norwegian.

Tell me if I am doing anything stupid now. I'll delete the post then.

I have been baiting this one guy, and I think I have his real name and adress. What do I do with it? I can find this guy on facebook too. Smile

Is it the real guy, or is he just using some random name?

^^ Real life information should be given to a MOD for further investigation and tell the MOD why you think it is his real name/etc. MODs are the ones with their names in GREEN or find one here under "Members" http://forum.419eater.com/forum/groupcp.php?g=497&sid=ea1076cb3adab38971b0aa9054843e5e

^^^ According to my experience there's no need to look the mods up - Just look at the lower right corner of any post and click on "Report to a moderator". You'll get a message window where you can write to the mods.

I've reported inappropriate posts myself this way, but also contacted the mods for other reasons in this way.

I believe that in this way your message is just picked up by the first mod who sees it, which may be a lot quicker than if you PM a specific mod, who may be delayed by RL-stuff.

And mods - Please kick me if I'm wrong in my assumptions.

^^ I was given to understand by my mentor that the "report to moderator" was to be used for a specific post and not to be used as a general way to PM a mod.

Sometimes people like to see a listing of who all is a MOD. That is what I was suggesting

Thanks for the help guys. I am not sure if it is his real name, but thou I think so. He thinks he is getting a brand new laptop, so he sent me his name and adress.

@Morgain Le Fay

I should have been a bit more specific - I have reported posts this way. When directing some other questions or concerns towards the mods this way, I clearly state that I'm not reporting the post, but that have some issue that I want mods opinion about.

I never had a mod complain about this procedure - My philosophy is that the first mod available will deal with it.

Again - Mods, kick me if I'm wrong here Exclamation

EDIT: Clarification: I don't use this method to just PM the mods in general, it's in the case that I want a mods opinion about some issue in a specific thread.

Welcome to the forum, Hoochie. Enjoy your stay Smile

.

Was it a scammer's address or a potential victim's ? Any victim information should be forwarded to a MOD (or an admin). I

It was a Scammers Identity. Still haven't reported it, but today, I got meself some stolen Credit Card info to. So I am going to report that to. And get myself a black piggy!

Thanks for the Welcome!

^^^ I assume, you are talking about it reporting to The Man, just do it as soon as you've compiled the evidence - The Man will let you know if he needs anything further.

Claim that piggy, and show it off Smile

@Hoochie

For clarification, bank account details are sent to Alan.

Credit Card information is sent to a MOD.

If you decide to go gold, there's a CC report function at the gold members forum.

CC's are reported to mods or admins

personal informations about victims are reported to mods or admins

bank accounts are reported to The Man.
