I like what you guys are doing, very nice work.
But I don't have the time (or even enough interest ) to read through the whole "letters archive" on the main page, could you maybe point me to a couple baits that you think were the most successful/entertaining of all?
(btw. found my way here from a thread on the 2+2 forums where someone tells a story of a person who was successfully scammed by one of these guys) |

Not very motivating
I don't read much in letters anymore. I prefer some of the in-progress stuff right here. Like THIS. |

Well, 419 could probably publish several books with all that material.
Maybe I'll read everything sometime.

Goto [main menu] [audi files], just sit and listen, that's easy Some not really keyboard safe, so stay alert
After that you either got the bug or it is not for you, no problem.
Have fun |

There is a book!
I can recommend it, since I was hooked on 419eater and couldn't log-on at work. I read the book on my break. |

That's where something is so funny or outlandish that you spew what you are drinking onto your keyboard.

Rog,
We tried (from the Eater Admin Room) to email you some links worth reading, but your email address bounces with the message: "The address had delivery problems: Permanent Failure"
You will therefore not receive any important messages from us. |

@Breddan Butter
Uh, yeah, sorry, I habitually use fake email adresses (10minutemail or similar) when I register on internet message boards, I hate spam.
No offense meant to you guys.
Mod edit: removed the quote of the post which is right above this post. TS |

Here's my suggestion. Just jump straight in. Get an IP addy that can be traced to your front door. Don't bother requesting a mentor or reading the stickies, they suck and are a waste of time. Oh, and go for a carving trophy after the second e-mail. How can you fail?
Isn't sarcasm brilliant!!!
If you are really interested in baiting, do exactly the opposite of the above and you won't go far wrong.
I look forward to your future posts.

Interesting forum, my head boggles from all the abbreviations.
Here is the Eater pitch:
Quote: |
As an aside, this site has some funny stuff (pix, very long email exchanges, etc.). Remember when people used to make beggars take pictures of themselves with a sign that said "SIIMP"? It's like that, but much more involved, and with Nigerian scammers instead of poker beggars. |
So.......what's next? truckload of 2+2 people? Feel welcome |

~Tommo Shanter,
To be honest, I didn't come here to learn how to bait scammers (although I have to admit that I'm intrigued by now, I despise these people), but just for the entertainment value of the stories, so doing that in a half-assed/stupid way is not really a concern. |

The point of this board is to fight the scammers, and by reading the baits here, you're depriving the scammers of a victim. Read away, and tell your friends about eater as well. If your serious about baiting and really want a mentor, get in touch with Cherrie. He runs the mentor program here. |
