While moving our suite of offices this past weekend, I can across some WU receipts belonging to my supervisor addresed to "Jane Smith" in Nigeria totaling about �850 Rolling Eyes

He is recently divorced and dating so it didn't take long to sort out what happened. (He doesn't know I bait, and I would never tell him I found the information.)

I've mainly been baiting the Lotto Lads and cheque mules, but I thought I'd give this scam a try (the emails between him and "Jane" were...interesting).

What can I expect from these scammers? The emails between him and "Jane" were primarily about her Mother being in hospital and needing money before she could fly out to meet him.....

Thanks in advance for any information Wink

I start off straight baiting to gather information on them and to waste their time. Some lose interest in a few weeks and disappear, but others will hang on for a long time. Create a good back story or personal history. Anything that makes you seem lonely, slightly dumb and have a source of money is ideal. Usually within a few messages they start to claim to love you. Slowly fall in love with them, but not too fast. Inquire about visiting their country or ask if they would like to visit yours. They usually want pictures, but don't send any at first. I use them as rewards or bribes. Find a set and add text or graphics to them so they can not be re-used. Ask them to prove their love. Don't start with anything too big at first, but pictures, poems, letters and drawings are good ones in the beginning. All have asked for my phone number which I have come up with lots of excuses not to give out.

I have two love baits (lads) that are 4 months old and only one has just started to involve any talk of money. Another lad finally dropped me after 4 months when he got tired of all of the tasks I was giving him (he got tired of looking at numerous pictures of wedding dresses, shoes and hair styles, and telling me his choices - he was in bridegroom hell Twisted Evil

).

PM me if you would like details of the script I'm currently using on the lads.

^^Like many others in here, I am baiting vlads and laddettes, will your scripts be of use to the likes of us?

I will drop you a PM as I am interested in your style if you are getting drawings. I assume they are scanned to you.

Most of my vlads, I get them to change their email address. They still bait from the old one but logging on to two accounts seems more wasteful. What am I saying... I log on to 5 to bait! Tsk...

Sherlock,
Did you happen to get the email address of the scammer? Maybe you could even email your boss or ask a mod here to do so and an anonymous email could be sent to hopefully wake him up. It would be terrible to watch it happen and not be able stop it.

^^^ He had air tickets reserved London to Lagos to meet "Jane" about two weeks prior to me finding the emails, etc. He can juggle his time, and has the money, but he never took the trip, so I'm guessing (hoping?) he sussed it himself. If I see anything else though, I will definitely pass it on for an anonymous email.

Truth be told, I wanted to bait Jane immediately after finding the documents, but felt a bit strange under the circumstances. Now that the office move is behind us, and he's engaged in other projects, I think I will Wink

Will need help with this one; first lovescam. FIRST, I'll have to remember which box I packed the shite in before we moved....

You answered your own question there Wink

Lads will ask for money for anything they can think of. A sick relative is pretty common, as is being stuck in a hotel without any money and their passport confiscated, owing money to someone or needing a check cashed. This lad goes with the sick relative story, so don't expect anything different if you bait "her".

Hello

I have been talking to a guy in London and he said he had a business trip in Nigeria. He said he would come to the US as soon as he was finished to met me? Well he has got some problems and he wants me to open a credit card and empty it so he can put money in it to leave? I told him could open a prepaid credit card himself at Western Union but he says he can not do that? Then He called me telling me that someone hacked into his computer and now I am talking to two of them. I think they are both the same person.
Well I asked him for a cam and he is suppose to get it today. I want to know who this guy is? I have checked his IP address and one is in London and one is in Nigera, makes not sense.

I am the one that he is trying to scam. How can I out smart this jerk?

The London IP address could be a red herring. It usually shows the HQ of the internet provider. If the ISP's HQ is in London, but they cover Nigeria (where your other lad is) then the IP address will show London and not Nigeria. It could just mean they're using 2 different internet cafes that are supplied by different internet service providers.
