I recieved two scam emails under different names that both asked three identical questions in the same order, and I gave the following response:

Dear Nike Abani, or is it Rose Williams because I forget. By the way, how
many aliases DO you have? Only God would know what your REAL name is. Not only are you a theif and a fraud, but you are also a pretty dumb one at that. If you send two very similar emails to the same address, the recipient will know its a fraud. If you have any morals at all, you will GET A JOB!!!

Then I had a reply when the lad actually thanked me for responding and went into detail about the $3.5million.
My question is, do these mugus actually READ the email before replying to you, or are they just retarded?

No, catchers often don't read first responses, they just send the second script mail. In this case, that's a good thing. Please don't tell scammers how to improve their performance:

We want recipients to know its a fraud, don't we?

justin,

NO

It's a numbers game. They send out a mass email and ask you to respond to a new email addy. If you respond to either the original addy or the new one they listed in the mail (ya thats right there was another, did YOU read the email) then they have a response that they just paste into it.

Once you get past that point they may respond to you or they may send you on to the next addy. Either way they are sorting prospects.

I never respond more than "tell me more" on the first response because I know they won't read it.

Henry Ford invented the process, they just use it.

How is good old Rose? I lost interest in her after 3 or 4 emails Laughing

So if you tell them to #@&% off, or call him a donkeybonker, chances are they will still reply?

Some will, yes.

^^^ It's always fun to test those things out. I replied to some first emails with this "yes, I do. Thanks you. Please, yes. I love you". . . and got replies.

I was considering trying this. "No thank you. Money. No thank you. Money." I'm betting I'd probably still get some replies.

They don't read your emails anymore than baiters read theirs. SF is right, don't tell them how to improve, if anything give them a pat on the head for their mistakes, slap when they get things right.

I usually reply with I am interested in your offer please tell me more.

When I was really bored I answered with "

bla bla bla money bla bla bla interested bla more"

Welcome to the Eater Justin!

You'll find that many people have asked your question - how dumb can a lad be? I'll bet that if you ask Shiver (the grand guru of all baiters) that same question, he would answer that their stupidity hasn't been quantified yet.

I've copied a lad's into letter as my reply, I've typed "yes" and sent it, I've even typed "Actually I'm a baiter and I intend to mess with you", and I get a "contact my barrister / security company" every time!

How dumb can a mugu be? Bait a few and let us know!

Just remember it is the Lads who are making money out of these scams, so maybe they're in fact not the dumbest people involved.... Confused

i know the lad that i have right now is pretty dumb. I think he has a brain the size of a pea. So there are some dumb ones out there and then there are some smart ones out there.

i had a sweet bait going but my lad had figured out how to google his name from previous baits-he found this site-now the lad is extremely wary and no fun-who says evolution doesnt exist Evil or Very Mad

Oof... good to hear. I just got a 419 that started with "Hello Dear," (followed by the usual drivel) with my reply starting with "Dear Love,"

And whadda ya know, as I am typing this, I just received the scripted reply! Very Happy

Question remains what to do next. My character will be mute, half-blind, and of course terminally ill (hey, this is my first baiting thingy so kindly forgive me for using all the usual clich�es Wink

)
I think I'll first spend some time reading up on tactics here. This ought to be amusing, wheeeee!

I sent a satanic message following an address supplied to my H3ll-0nline.it.tc Guestbook with the simple message "your Soul is Mine"
and she replied telling me all about the money I had coming, her cancer/stroke problem and wanting my details.

So the answer is there are some dumb scammers, and some even dumber scammers, and they don't bother reading replies/email addys.

Well... A little of A and a little of B Wink

I accidently sent two emails to a scammer, and received two carbon-copy letters.

I told them I own a bank, too. They don't miss that Wink
