Yes, I get them regulary, I already baited one, but it was a boring bait.

I think they try the faked check trick.

btw. do not bait from AOL, it is not save. Use a provider that hides your IP.

I'll get them over to my Yahoo account. AOL is pretty good about screening this crap, so I was a little surprised to see it. I'll play this one out and see where it goes.

Thanks for the info.

Okay, I got this guy over to Yahoo and gave him my information.....at the Department of Homeland Security. He's still asking for ID, which I don't have time to mess with. Any suggestions?

Mr. Pang,

Well, I guess this sounds easy enough.

My information is:

Jack Mehoff Hinton
PO Box 9209
Albuquerque, NM 87119

I was laid off from my job, so I'm not exactly working right now. However, I'm in the computer business.

My phone number is 505 346-6425 ext. 250

I cannot send a copy of my passport because my scanner is broken and besides that sort of thing is against the law with Homeland Security and all.

I hope this will work out for you!

Thanks,

Jack Mehoff Hinton

Okay, this dumb ass mugu actually went through our phone bank that talks about the Department of Homeland Security and dialing "0" for a law enforcement emergency and dialed my extension. I just told him I was too busy to talk. He didn't sound Chinese either! Go figure.

I may be being dumb here, but are you meaning that you gave this lad you real life work phone number, and posted the same on this site? Because that is very unsafe. It would be very easy to get your name from that phone number, and lads have turned up at places of work before.

On the other hand if you mean that you've set up a baiting phone with a menu system then kudos to you.

Edit: Just found the post where you explain why. I still think it's unnecessarily dangerous to expose your RL identity to this extent.
