Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me, I am Jeffery Dummers, a military surgeon attached to the Randolph Air Force Base, San Antonio. I am on duty at the moment,i Had thought i was going to be in your town to come check it out but my plans got changed impromptu as am embarking on a few weeks trip to NY tomorrow morning but However, am still interested in purchasing the item and i will like you to consider the item bought by me and i will also advice that you remove the AD on CL so as not to be disturbed by other people. Am actually getting it for my cousin and i will mail you a bank official check to cover the cost and also add funds to cover the shipping to where it will be needed as soon as possible. I'll also make arrangements for a shipper/mover to handle the pick up and delivery after you might have confirmed you have your cash at hand in fairness to both parties.

You can Email me back with a name, address and your phone number to whom and where the check be drawn to. I'll be more than glad if it can be sold to me. My phone number is 269-245-0212...I wont be able to entertain your calls at the moment due to the nature of my job,i can only receive text messages and i will reply soon after.

Write back soon,

Thank you.

My reply:
Sounds good to me. How long before check arrives?

To where? Did you ever give me your details?

My reply:
Yes I replied with my address in one of our first emails. Did you not get it or don't have it? I'm getting really nervous about all of this. I feel like I am being set up for a scam. You wouldn't do something like that would you?

(I didn't reply with address, just trying to keep this chuckle head busy). I'll update if he replies again.

Its ok if you are not feeling good about this. Thanks for the waste of time

Here is my reply to him:
Well you have to look at it from my point of view. You're a scamming south African piece of shit claiming to be a US MILITARY soldier, being a veteran, I don't appreciate it. I hope you get aids and die a long slow painful death for everything you have done. I would love to meet you in person but I know you are in South Africa, not Texas, or Oregon. You're a fucking idiot and you got played for a week like a puppet. Hope you feel stupid. At least I kept you busy long enough to keep your hand out of someone else's pocket. Goodbye scumbag.

how long did this bait last?? in order to make these kind of baits last for months you need to just send one email per day at a time, rate.

Other than that it's pretty good you made him made. Smile

Welcome to Eater! Please don't tell the lad you baited him; this is called "burning the lad" and is discouraged, as it helps the lad learn to recognize baiters. Stick around, get a mentor, and keep on baiting!

This only lasted 4-5 days. It was my first, but I'm learning.

Well on!

The Vet line had me gagging too.

Welcome proudvet. Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Veteran's day. Bait your lad again from another box, stretch it out and dangle lots of cash. I often tell the lads that I am flying to Paris for the weekend to pick up some fall/winter/spring fashions. Actually I might be working on a plumbing issue in the house or have some painting that needs to be done.
