First I'll introduce myself. I'm a new guy. I actually signed up under a different name but I never posted since I used that name in one of my baits, so I started a new name. Hope that's OK.

Anyway, I did a lot of reading before I started baiting. I got myself a Fastmail account and made up all my contact info. I grabbed some email addresses off the forum and now I'm knee deep in baits. Couldn't be happier.

I haven't been trophy hunting yet, and I didn't make up any long winded replies for the first few emails since it's all scripted and they don't really care what I say. Just a couple quick lines typed in and see what happens. (I think that's what you guys call 'straight baits') Worked out well and now it's getting fun.

The most recent email reply I've gotten was from a lady who (can you believe it?) has inherited a bunch of money and wants to cut me in! I'm so exited.

After she sent me some pretty girl's picture and told me she wants to come live with me, she gave me a whole bunch of bank info. Basically, the name of a bank with a physical address, a phone number, a fax number, an email address, and some guy's name who is the "Director of Operations"

What should I do with this? Just email them and keep playing the bait, or can someone with an untraceable phone call them and pester them for me? I don't have a phone to do that with so I can't. If anyone has some suggestions for this let me know, I'm up for some fun. And I love the site.

Here's my new love, in case you wanted to see.

Hi and welcome. Obviously the 'bank' is nothing of the sort but you already know that right?. The phone number will be your lad's mobile number. What has he asked you to do? If it's just to contact the 'bank' then play along and send them an email, ask for instructions, act dumb and see what happens. Most likely they will ask you for some kind of 'processing fee' which of course you will be asked to send via Western Union, blah blah. It's still a pretty standard script. If they do ask you for money then offer to make a direct electronic transfer to the bank from your bank and wait for the feeble excuses why it has to be cash paid via WU. Obviously, if they ask for your bank details then make something up. Enjoy.

Thanks for the advice.

I just emailed the address for further instructions. We'll see what they say.

In the meantime, if anyone wants the phone number they supplied, let me know and i'll give it to you so you can pester them.

This is a lot of fun, although I've sent out so many emails I'm not really sure who is who anymore. I can't remember when I won so many lotteries in such a short amount of time!

Umm... and since nobody else has mentioned it, if the bank details turn out to be real, and the lad wants you to transfer money to it, check out This Thread for instructions on what to do with real bank details.

Otherwise, Amen to all of the previous advice. Cool

Have fun!

It's all fake, she has no money. She can only afford one chair and no table. Wink

Welcome. Have fun!

Yeah, you'd think with that huge inheritance, she could at least afford a card table and a couple more folding chairs.

I like the little signature in the corner of the photo. I think this is someone's yearbook picture! Too bad the mugu is probably a big fat dude.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Hopefully I'll have a real trophy or something good to share in the next few weeks.

Don't be nasty to her..... this picture was an unfortunate picture taken as the mugu was crossing the road to the local hospital to be treated for an unfortunate superglue accident, with glue on her right knee and both hands.... How would you like to spend the rest of your life like that eh!

How cruel you all are to her.....
