I am just curious, has anyone ever baited a scammer and gotten the scammer to send you money? Is that wrong or is that just the ultimate prize?

What is the weirdest thing anyone has ever gotten sent to them?

Actually, yes, a few baiters have successfully cash baited, but it's not something that is supported anymore...it places you on the same level as the scammer. Nothing wrong with asking questions though. Wink

I was thinking that it did put you on the same level but then I was thinking about the fact that it takes resources away from the real scammers.

I guess if you cash baited and gave the money to charity it would be okay Wink

Not quite... Smile

Either way, you still take $$$ away from a real victim.

So I guess it would be a case in which the victim goes to offender and the offender becomes the victim.. hmm ... Interesting..

Regardless of whether cashbaiting is right or wrong, we don't discuss it here. 'nuff said?
