Dear xxxx,

It is very sad that i could not collect the money this time, again for the third time. if i may ask why is it that every time you send me money the refrence numbers are also invalid.

I called Money gram customer care but was told the refrence number was invalid. If this is for real please kindly send it via western union so that it could be picked up.

I anticipate your response.

when there's no one around.

Yes, very sad.

hehe, way to keep him going

Very sad indeed Laughing

You'll just have to send the "correct" one. Why not use Scrooge's wonderful tool to ensure he get's it this time?

My pet is acquainted with 1TV$. Smile

Next, I may ask him to call customer care. Unfortunately (as far as the lad knows), I'm on vacation -- auto responder on gmail.

This bait has been going on for over 18 months now. He was one of my first. The first time is so...special.

I've got other plans for him as well.

How the HELL do you keep a lad going for 18 months...and never send him any money?? I mean, I can see it if you have a really elaborate bait going like some of the masters in here, with the lads jumping through hoops to convert to some bizarre church, or traveling all over the place chasing down a car deal or whatever. But how did you get him to last for 18 months with 1TV5 and stuff like that?? I'm impressed!

Hand offs to more than one character. It started with an "old" granddad-type guy stringing him along for week after week, month after month and then...POW, the old geezer dies.

Next, his granddaughter takes over the finances and guess what? Ol' granddad has written the mugu into the will! Granddad has left the mugu $100K! Lawyers get involved, the daughter is a bit reckless with money and a spendthrift. She also takes a lot of vacations. I think I'm going to have the old man's lawyer contact the mugu to see if he's received the money yet.

You see, the lawyer has entrusted payment of the old man's funds (theoretically supposed to go the lad) to the granddaughter. Unfortunately, as the mugu will find out, the granddaughter has actually spent the mugu's money. Chopped by the old man's granddaughter. (This part of the bait recently occurred to me and has yet to be executed.)

Etc., etc.

And the mugu is wrong. He's been given way more than three MG numbers. The old man gave him three (before his untimely demise) and the granddaughter probably did three or more. I've lost track myself.

Not anywhere near as much fun as my demon soundboard baits. This guy kind of bores me and just when I think he's done, he writes back---AGAIN.

Desperation is his middle name.

Wow! I've been baiting a couple of lads for little over 10 days and it seems like ages!

Question: After exchanging e-mails with mugus for so long, have you developed any muguisms when writing your normal e-mails? Laughing

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 7:11 am

^^^ there are no muguisms Laughing

the characters in the bait become so real to the mugu, that he actually believes what is going on. Call it a soap opera, where the mugu is just one character that it is being manipulate by greed Laughing

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 7:23 am

He really, truly believes he has 100K coming to him? Oh my...there is going to be one freaking-out mugu when he finally realizes that after all this, there's no money coming to him. It almost makes you feel sorry for him......NOT! LOL!

I have got to get more creative with my baits. I've got a couple that I could spice up over time with some creative plotting...time to put my writer's hat on! Very Happy

Yes, it's a real tragedy that your lad hasnt been able to steal your money. Poor little fella Crying or Very sad

That is interesting. I always thought that the lads had to physically turn up at a MG office to verify and collect the cash, unlike WU which can be checked online. Unless the lad is just lying to cover his embarrassment of having to trudge to the MG office three times.

Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 10:21 am

^^^^^ Yeah, I was going to mention the same thing. I've had a number of lads complain about getting chucked out of MoneyGram ("i was embarrassed in front of the entire office" Very Happy

) but this is not something I've heard before. Maybe the lad has someone bribed who'll check for him, or this could be new, or maybe - just maybe - he's lying. Although they'd be more likely to lie about making the long walk.... in the snow.... uphill..... both ways..... to the MG office tp try to make you feel sorry for them.

I have baited some idiots for 3 months+ solely by straight baiting by one identity (and I am far from experienced). All it takes is the little dangle of a big juicy carrot......

That's awesome! I'm an old grandfather at the moment, my eyesight isn't too good though - I keep mixing up the MTCN numbers! I've been wondering where to take it next, you've given me some inspiration Very Happy

17 months? Congrats! Twisted Evil

Send him a scan of the MG receipt slip. A dll file of about 1.5 MB renamed as a jpg file should do nicely. He'll waste so long trying to open it, and then you get to blame his computer, his computer skills, etc. Plenty of opportunities to abuse the Lad over his incompetence, no wonder he couldn't clear the MG transfer.

Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 10:20 am

@jgalt^^ your mugu is obviously an idiot [which is a redundancy] for questioning ever-so-politely why 3x the WU #s didn't jive. Usually by the 2nd time they start calling you a jokester..

@cachuma^^My record is appx 14 months with one Edith Calabi/Oberti in Accra--Bujumbum refugee camp.
Could have kept it going even further but I needed minor work on my pc and a jackass techie slob fried my hard-drive and there ya have it. I'm still pissed over it all. I still occasionally email Edie back to let her know I played her derriere for all that time. But alas, much data lost in between.

Point is tho', as another baiter so succinctly pointed out, it's really all about the carrot-on-the-stick approach. More importantly if I might add--my aim is to always get the lads off their script and onto mine. Letting them know that you yourself have millions and don't give a hamster-fart about what they offer is something they rarely can resist.
