Fully aware that this could fall all to sh*t, I thought it might be fun to post an art bait from the start.
The movie bait worked out alright: https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=273529&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
So why not?
My character is Brad and he starts with a simple format. Nothing new to it really. Borrowed, when needed, from great baiters here past and present.
Quote: |
Hi. My name is Brad and I run a private art import company. My company is in need of representation in W**t Africa.
Blah, blah, blah ..
If you are interested, please email me promptly so that I can share more information on the position/pay/benefits.
Kind regards,
Brad |
Responses come quickly.
Quote: |
Hello Brad, I feel a little bit insecure doing business online but I think I'm gonna try this one...Yes I am Mr Brad |
Quote: |
I am here and would like to know more about this thank you |
Quote: |
Sure i am interested let me know whats its all about kay |
So. We have some interest. It's all about baiting now, right?
(padme my guy u no vex ooo) |

My company sells high end, original, indigenous artwork.
We pay the highest prices for quality art in the business. 75% of the selling price blah, blah. Our average selling price is $82,225.00.
You, as the agent, will procure the artists and *yaaaaaaaaaaaawn* respective country.
We need native wood carvings, paintings and sculptures. The artist may be asked to do commission works based on the buyer's design.
We, the company, pay upfront for the artwork plus shipping fees once the artist sample work is accepted by our board. Sample work is the responsibility of the agent.
I look forward to your email.
Kind regards,
Brad |

^Get Robert on the phone. Business is picking up.
The lads are busy this morning.
Quote: |
Good Morning Dear Brad, i am a nice honest man but i am poor but i am
very hard working man age 37 i am living in Benin Republic west Africa
but i can handle this issue and found a very nice site in Benin here
or Nigeria i can do it better sir,
Best Regards
Mr. Joseph |
Welcome aboard!
The next quote is from the lad claiming to live in Slough, UK. He sent some internet pics and I chastised him for it:
Quote: |
Those ARE the types of masks that I am referring to. Beautiful.
The next step is for you to find a superb artist that will make them. I do NOT want carvings that anyone can buy from the internet. I can buy them all day long for 150 USD.
We require ORIGINAL carvings, remember? Please find a local artist that will make them. Take some pictures of the masks and the artist. Then send the pics to me. I will show the pics to the buying committee. I can then tell you what we are willing to pay.
Thank you so much!!
Brad |
Then he did a drive by phone call to verify my character and decided to get serious ...
Quote: |
Okay thanks you i already am scouting for the Art work right now an would get some samples by today |
and we have a few other agents out in the field
Quote: |
i will not disappoint you |

Hey JC! Here is my daily devotional to you!! I know that I will never be able to even carry your jockstrap AND I'm the very definition of a cockwallet, but please keep mentoring me. My Mom and sister send their love. ~b8er~ |

Good afternoon George!
We are interested in Ceremonial War Masks from either Igbo or Yoruba. The artist will need to be of exceptional talent and must produce excellent pieces.
You will not need to rent a shop and you will be provided with the latest technology (iphone, laptops) to communicate with us in the United States.
Please find a maker for the masks and send me some pictures of his work. Once we determine that you can carry out our instructions, we will send you a Contract for Work via email.
My company already has the network in place for importing. Do you have access to skype?
I look forward to your prompt email.
Sincerely,
Brad |

I've edited out some of the usual banter for easier reading.
Quote: |
Good Morning Mr.Johnson:
- Yes i will provide you dose kind of mask here because in Nigeria i can get many of it
- you can even need some old oracle and some old mask the business we
work out if you can be serious and trusted we can make it by the grace
of God,
- so i will be happy dance on your tune if you want (I've heard that from a couple of mods here )
- i believe with trust we can move a motion thanks for your understanding
Mr.Gorge |
Quote: |
Hello George!
Yes. The older masks would be very exciting and we could sell them quite quickly, but I worry about taking such older masks out of Nigeria as they are part of the country's heritage.
- please do look at this mask. It is of the style that we are looking for.
**Inserted pic of carved Igbo war mask**
- We mainly need to know if your artist can do CUSTOM work.
- I am going to put you in contact with one of our agents in Europe. He has sold us many pieces of art over the years
I look forward to hearing from you George. God bless you and your family!
Brad |
This will be interesting. The key right now is to get him to the point where he can feel the new iphone in his hand and start mentally spending the commission fees.
Then we'll discuss samples on his dime. |

Really excellent point about requiring new artwork as opposed to what may be antique or have cultural significance. The piece you received earlier and the replica of the Imperial Walker were clearly legal trophies! |

Hello George!
The pictures you sent are beautiful. Non-spirited please. (no juju!!)
We have three clients, right now, that want CUSTOM carved masks. Could the artist make a new mask to look like what my clients desire?
I will also be sending you a list of phones and laptops to choose from, so that we can send them to you once the artist sample is approved and the contract signed.
I'm very excited and I hope that you are too!
By God's grace,

"some kind of spirit"
sounds great, extra charge for getting the lad to hire a juju priest, who adds the spirit. ask for pictures of that ceremony, otherwise he'll claim that it has happened while he did not do anything. |

Maybe you can ask also for some "Certificate of originality", for to be sure that the masks is handmade, not "series products". |

Since I couldn't stand JC's nagging and constant bugging anymore, I've been basically forced to mail this guy.
Let me introduce you a son of Robert, Anthony - a manager of Kiwi arts & crafts.
Quote: |
Dear sir,
it is my pleasure to get in touch with you on behalf of my good friend as well as good business associate, Mr. Brad Johnson, who had been kind enough to seek new opportunities and contractors on our behalf,
Let me introduce myself briefly, before you will be given the chance to introduce yourself. I am an agent of Kiwi Arts & Crafts for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) who has been working in the field since 1999 and up until now, I have had thousands of succesful art installations all over the world, but mostly in the region I am in charge of, as I have mentioned. We focus on delivering only the finest quality products spanning from decorational items, items of religious or cultural heritage as well as movie props.
Mr. Johnson told me you are experienced and reliable artist we can work with and that is why I have taken it my personal interest to contact you. I hope I have reached the right person.
I await your brief introduction as well, and I believe after that, we will be able to discuss our business interests.
Best regards,
|

in my opinion, a juju priest is in the same situation as the artist who actually carves the piece of art. the lad orders a ceremony as he orders the carving. if he pays for their effort, everything is okay. but if he does not pay them, there'll be an ITP hurt anyways.
the only side effect: if the lad does not pay, the juju-priest will take revenge by cursing the lad. until now, there is no proof that a curse actually works, , but if he believes in it, it will work. and it will hurt the lad more than any dollarchop. |

Isn't it possible that the priest, or whatever could use animals, and/or other sacred items in the ceremony? I don't know what angry priests would do, or use, but I'm sure it wouldn't be nice. |

Without going into the intricacies of religion, curses, and sacrifices, and disregarding the ITP argument as that is a deal between the lad and the artist, or whomever (not the baiter and the artist), Justcold stated the following:

It's his bait. If he doesn't feel comfortable with a certain path, why argue for him to do it? |

The lad has not answered further emails. Not a peep. Maybe he found the bait, maybe he found love. Who knows?
He'll have to go to back burner and I'll have to do some more prep work.
But the bait will continue and I'll update as needed. |
