Hi Everyone,
I'm currious to know if anyone has had a lad initiate a scam via Yahoo! Messenger?
I got an add request on my Y!M that I only use for business. No one but co-workers and clients have my Y!M ID. It also has no Yahoo Email attached to it. When I googled the lad's Y!M screen name, it came back with all sorts of Bank of West Africa money laundry scams.
I wouldn't think a lad would do this since email is their thing. |

Lads will use any means at their disposal; some are still using snail mail, some rely heavily on the phone, many stalk YIM chat rooms, and some even (and despicably) use the deaf relay service. |

And just yesterday I received a chat invitation to Google Chat from a gentleman who even has given a personal address to me ( first time I�ve seen this) - which I believe is not his own since I suspect he is from India and this is a Western African address...
at any rate our "chat" just consisted of me "Preparing his forms for him" and him just typing "ty"
EDIT: Header of his original email says USA |

OK, I�ve learned quickly...this personal address thing in their catcher email isn�t new at all. But it never struck me before. And I asked my guy who needs a business "loan" why he had given me his address when I believe he would have to move anyway. He reconfirmed it.
Probably this chatting thing is for the same purpose: The mugu wants to see whether his /her victim is real or not - same reason why they always dig for your phone number. At least in "my" case this might be true because I haven�t heard from him ever since that chat...perhaps I was not "enthusiastic" enough |

Much fun can be had 'live baiting' lads in the yahoo chatrooms. It's a great mental exercise, you obviously need to be sharper than with email baiting. The 'small business' channels seem to be quite good. |

Aw...I need to learn more about this...the forums tell me surprisingly little about this modality ...cannot be as epic as letter baits I think...so less dramaturgy in it? Less possibilities? More "one-nite-stands"?
At any rate is worth a try for me since I personally am much much more an "everyday-a-long-bait-reader" than an "everyday-long-mail-writer"
on to "small business" tonight Thank you, PsycheDelia_Smith! |
