Just thought I would stop by and say �Hello�. Wonderful site, truly wonderful. Signed on a few days ago and have been reading like a madman � hooray.

I�ve been doing a spot of baiting on my own without really realizing it�. receiving the whole agenda of scam emails and then winding up the scammers, getting their blood pressure close to boiling point and slapping them about a bit. Boy�. do some of them get mad � hee hee. How wonderful. It makes me giggle so much. Very Happy

My technique to date has been very amateurish� utterly brutal, conniving, devious, scheming, lying, sneaky allied with the charms of Attila the Hun attending a Church tea party for over 80�s ladies.

Having read many of the posts and tips and the wonderful, wonderful baiting examples, I see I have a lot to learn and need to be somewhat subtler. What fun it is�

Regards, Mike.

Welcome to 419eater. I trust you read the stickies. Wink

Are you using your personal, private email address to wind up the scammers, or have you created different ones for that purpose? Very Happy

@Alligator Welcome

Back again.... Very Happy

Many thanks for the welcome.

A while back I set up a number of 'dummy' emaill addys with some of the well known providers and generally make new addys as the situation dictates.

What I do to keep track of things is to use a spreadsheet... one sheet for each target so to speak. The contents adn comments are in date order and provide me with an instant overview of where things are. I reference that back to their MS Word file containing copies of the emails. Without this sort of mechanism I would get hopelessy lost Laughing

My bwain is only little.

Yes...I'm reading the Hint & Tips along with the Tookit. All good, wonderful stuff. Very professional indeed.

Mike.

I'm not sure of the classifications as formally known on here at the moment but my two best ones on the go are individuals who have large sums of money and want someone to 'help' them claim it, the reward being I get 50% etc. With both these targets I am in the role of an elderly, semi-senile Pastor, who wants to help everyone in the Universe - hee hee. So you can imagine the number of mistakes I 'inadvertantly' make with their requests for this that and the other.

I prefer these types of target as I can also use my own, made up, semi-illiterate language. This is tremendous fun making up your own words and taking the p**s out of them without them realising it. I do like a good laugh Laughing

Other targets have been lottery scams and a couple of others who have been selling various bulk goods such as mobile phones and electronic items. I'm awaiting one person to send me a formal quote for a large order of Indian Food and Spices and so on along with his detailed price list and terms and conditions. Should keep him occupied for a few days hopefully. I'm not keen on this type as such at the moment as their seems to be a requirement for information and forms of various sorts. But we shall see. Very Happy

Regards, Mike.
