Sir/Madam

We've recently been clearing up a scam/spam incident on our server and

found your email address on a list of potential victims.

The scam is sometimes known as Nigerian Letter Fraud, 419 or other

names and typically involves you in helping to transfer millions of dollars.

If this sounds familiar, take a look at the Police website

for more detail http://www.met.police.uk/fraudalert/419.htm

We know that some people are deliberately wasting the scammers time.

If that's you, you may be interested in http://www.scamorama.com/

If you need to contact me, please do NOT write to [email protected]

as that mailbox is not read. Please write to [email protected]

Thank you

Manager 419 Alerts

Im not sure about this one, Gabriel Dickson was an alias of one of my lads about a month ago, I this just a helpful admin or is it the lad.

Thanks alot,
Joe

Just reply that you're a baiter and thank them for their time.

Ok, thanks you, I was wondering if the lads got very smart all of a sudden.

A lad warning a potential victim this way wouldn't be very smart but unbelievably stupid. Hence not even lads would educate a victim about the scam they're trying to pull.

The subject of the email is:

'Gabriel Dickinson is a criminal fraudster'

I cant see the Met using this as the email subject? Why would they use an introduction like this, then warn you?

Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2007 1:55 pm

Why not? And who said it was the Met? And why not simply accept the word of a few long-standing members here who might know what they're saying?

Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2007 1:57 pm

Hell yeah!!!
It's nice to see that they actually acknowledge a baiter for once, instead of closing his account.

Please accept my most sincere appologies. What i have just done makes me deserve to be spoken to like im a 5 year old.

I'm sorry if I have misinterpreted your post. I read your post like you were continuing with a point other members had proven wrong before. Noone did mention the Mets before and I'm sure the people replying to this thread do know what a genuine warning looks like.

So a revised version of my answer would be:

Warning letters are - thankfully - a common occurence, there are various organizations specialising in warning potential victims of advance fee scams. If you receive such a warning simply reply with a "thank you, I'm a baiter" and go ahead with the bait. Lads do never test their victims, they care about the money.

Would that be ok with you?

Yes, thats lovely thank you!!

Just because im new on this site, does not mean im new to this game - please dont assume otherwise.

Cheers

I got exactly that warning about a fortnight back; it's the fifth time I've been warned.

I don't know who he is, but he's doing us a service. I thanked him and told him I was a baiter who posted baits on Scamorema.

Read his message again, akpb1234, and you'll note that he never actually said that he was a LEO. He simply provided an explanatory link.
