Hi all
Just got into this whole thing
I set up a myspace account after someone at work was going on about it
Didn't take long for all sorts of attractive females to take an interest in me.
talked to about 3 but one really cottoned onto me, didn't really feel that we had much in common but chatted anyway.
Began to get suspicious when she said she was working in America but was from the uk, and hadn't heard of a very famous comedy program on the bbc.
Didn't take long before she had a big sob story about being really broke and wanted to come to the uk and see me, but could I send her some money.
Wisely decided to do some digging, her ip address didn't reveal anything but Googled the yahoo id and it sent me to romance scams forum.
There was "her" pic and yahoo id so cut off all communication. Luckily didn't part with any money but have set up a bait id on a social site to get some revenge.
Any tips? I am macweasel on romance scams by the way |

Welcome...
Learn some basics about baiting....particularily Nigerians, since you will run into them, over and over....
The Russians are a bit different....
A basic knowledge of safe baiting will help you a lot.
Ask for a mentor here if you want. |

I have already read the baiting faq and am switching any baiting to a false guy I set up on a networking site.
I will use him to do any baiting.
Might need help with false Western Union docs if I ever make a bait get that far |

After I read this thread I thought I would try setting up a MySpace account for "Meredith" who needs a man in her life. Dear lord!!!! I did this just last night and woke up to 14 friend requests and 4 messages! Sure didn't have that luck when I set up my own real page, lol! Better get to cracking on these boys and see what I can come up with. Any tips on how to tell the "real" guys from the lads? |

Yes. Be patient.
Your 2 day lull covered the weekend, and even Lads, Vlads and Mugus need to get drunk and party on a weekend. (Or whatever it is they do to relax).
I've only been baiting 2 weeks and each weekend has been quiet, with lots of replies early the next week.
As a fellow newbie, take this tip:
Get a mentor. They're good chaps and chapesses here and they have months and years of experiences.
I'm doing straight 419 scams at the moment, but you seem to be hell bent on romance, and who's to stop you!?!
Have a good read of the Love scam forum threads. Get a mentor. Bait safe.... And enjoy! |

@WhiteWolf
Did you put a pic on your profile? If not, then the chances are that you won't get many "real" guys; you'll get flagged as a timewaster very quicky without one. If you did, well, unless it looks like the creature from the black latrine, expect a few hangers on. For further security, you could throw in a few disgusting personal habits into your profile that should turn off anyone whose first language is English.
Other than that, look out for people who want to get you off the dating site and onto e-mail (or instant messenger if you're lucky), have sudden business trips to West Africa, and don't seem to care that you've sent them a bunch of DLL files instead of a pic. Once you've got an e-mail, check the headers too. |

^^^ never thought about the picture being a problem. Hm. No wonder I have a million and one guys wanting to be my "friend". Well, guess I will have to start new since I pulled my model pics out. Dang, I hate starting all over with a new girl. Now I know better at least.
Do have a couple that want to chat on IM, but they didn't come across as being possible scammers. Guess ya never know until ya talk to them though. |

thanks all - I am trying out the dating scams cause thats how I was nearly conned.
also the whole idea that the girl was really a Nigerian bloke just adds insult to injury.
Perhaps 419 weasel should be my mentor since we are both weasels
Have done a lot of research, have got a blank WU form but if I need help I will ask.
If the weekends are quiet that's OK - gotta attend a big family party this weekend and my old Aunt doesn't have puters or that Interweb thing
listened to some of the phone wind-ups yesterday (satan) and had a good chuckle |

Yeah, that's the biggest kick in the crotch for some people. That the person they fell in love in was really a guy. It's the same with Russians scammers too.

You could do a whole lot worse If you haven't already, put your name down on the list for a mentor. Learn from the voices of experience here. |
