Hi all,
I have somehow a special request with regards to my gullible dad that once was scammed by numerous lads at once. While back in the days after we had some kind of family intervention he seemed to have understood the problem and stopped his activities lately he is back in the saddle again ...
The good old days offered also a lazy person like myself with Mugu Marauder and Lad Vampire a chance to drain some of the bandwidth without much effort.

But nowadays I just want this whole mess to stop and I am unsure of how to convince him. The best idea I can currently come up with is another intervention to maybe refresh his memory.

What I currently have is some of the email communication from his current lad with a Hotmail live.com address and some bankers with a yahoo.com hosted domain.
Basically I think also because of his financial situation he is doing a quite fine bait ... but the big problem is he is doing it with his real personal data and bank accounts.

I know this is kind of an odd request in a scambaiter forum ... but I am open to suggestions ... also maybe where to put this if this is not the place.

Scamwarners may be a better place to ask for help on this. http://www.scamwarners.com/ They are great working with people and will have plenty of good advice.

Also you could maybe give him a Link to this site, maybe if he reads about safe baiting !

Baiting is not an option for a victim.
He needs to go to scamwarners and educate himself.

Thank you for the tips... after reading through the Baiting tips again I realized that I never made it to the last section "UPDATE: IF YOU SUSPECT YOU ARE A REAL VICTIM OR VICTIM-TO-BE!" where Scamwarners is clearly the forum to go.
Will keep the account here tho in case I ever feel the need to follow up.
First I need to beat some sense into the old man again Rolling Eyes
