I have a new lad who has obviously just had his dolla chopped by another baiter because he insists on using a code word for every email and phone call, I had to make one up on the spot and "bat squirrel" is the most absurd I could come up with at short notice. So now every email I get from him has bat squirrel in the subject and he says bat squirrel every time he calls, which is often (I need a lot of chasing up about sending my details etc).

So I was wondering if anyone else has come across this code word thing, and if so any funny ones?

I used "shiver metimbers" as the code word in one of my baits.

You know I used to do that and forgot about it.

My personal favourite was with My Sarah as 'she' couldn't quite get it right and we spent days upon days arguing over how the Super Secret Code Word should read. Sadly my Barrister the Honourable Richard L Icker has not made an appearance for quite some time.

Once I gave a Scammer a list of Code Names and he chose Mr. Bukake as his moniker. Personally I would have picked Guy La Douche but that's just me....I can't really remember but I do like to think that I was Baron Von Raschke!

oooooooo

So do most lads after a while no mater how keen they are initially. Especially when they start getting flustered because the money ain't coming through as planned, naturally at that point you demand they give you the code or your not talking to them Twisted Evil

I just introduced the idea of a code phrase to one of my lads, and he's interested because he's worried about getting chopped by my Gomer character. What should I give him for the code phrase?

Edit: I had a good idea, I'm having him use this supposedly "random" group of letters and numbers: B8DBYB16X

I might have to have him make a sign for me with it.

From my limited experience so far, it seems to pay to establish a code word or phrase quite early on. They seem to appreciate your attention to security and that way, later into the bait, you can ask for photos of the lad holding up a sign with your well established codeword clearly displayed, thereby reducing any suspicion on their part.
My most recent one is 'Isle of M1nge', particularly nice when held up by a 'lady'. Fnarrr, fnarrr Razz

You can have a lot of fun with passwords. Wink

First, get your lad to suggest something, then argue that it is too easy and can be guessed without any effort. Then try various other ones but insist none of them are secure enough for this important business.

Then suggest a combination of numerals and letters. But oh dear. Now they are so hard you'll never remember them. And it's important you delete all emails after they have been read, just in case your box is 'harked' and the hoodlums get it that way. Lads hate you deleting their important emails for any reason. Wink

You could suggest using 'I am not a scammer' and see how he likes it.

Finally, you get serious and realise that the only way your mail will be safe is to encode the whole blinking email. That's when the fun starts:

Ceasar's Cipher

Your lad will have to work it out. You use the script to do all the hard work for you encoding and decoding Ceasar's cipher. Normally known as Rot 13, this site lets you displace the letters any number you like.

You know it makes sense. Very Happy

This is the lad with our email code phrase in a 4 month bait last year....

I've got my lad using the code now, and he's so fastidious about it that he even reminded me when I didn't use it. I do so love seeing him telling me who's baiting him in every email.

I read this thread last night and behold! Today I got my first password lad. Very Happy

It is hard not to laugh when I see his email title in my notifications, do I don't try and just let it out.

EDIT. just removed my baiting name due to it showing up on a google search @419 despite me removing bits of it.

Code words?! What? I guess they work, but I keep forgetting the code word. This means arguments, rereading emails, and other delays.

I have chosen a few that would alert what email monitoring software the government has. Not that I really expected anything to happen. I did have one of my personalities “arrested” for terrorism. Due to the code word, I then sent threatening emails to the mugu.
