Watched the movie Rat Race last night, pretty funny film but an Idea sprung to mind......

Now I don't know if this has been done before so please forgive me if it has, but what if a few hundred ASEM's were sent to some quality lads containing a scan of a simple/easy to copy key (with a ruler shown for scale) & text saying something along the lines of "I left the $50,000 in locker number [insert no] as you requested at [airport of your choice]then [insert more padding to asem]
Then see if a maxi lad migration kicks off Laughing

^ you could tell them that the key is in an envelope at a certain location
buried under a rock (Kevin's house?) (see TWAT thread for Kevin's 'biography')

You could tell them you put the key under a trash / bank / whatever that can be seen on a webcam Wink

Then we could what how many people show up and search for the key.

mmmm - I like the idea Buck Very Happy

- but I'm insane. Let me know if you plan anything I'd like to join in and I have some cute bits to add myself. I wanted something to use my new Army.com addie for. That could be a neat fit.

Sounds like a good idea, but that's about all it is. A few weeks ago I surfed a site on scamming, with the emphasis on Nigerians becoming aware of their own plight. I don't recall the name, but the moderator was a Nigerian, so he claimed, and stated that if you sent an email :
Dear Father Miguel,
Bishop Davis instructed me to contact you about where you wanted me to transfer the $70,000 to, for the building of the orphanage and the drilling of the drinking water wells in Nigeria. Please give me your instructions so we can help these kids!
Cheers!

Only two good jokes in that stupid film:

"You . . . should . . . have bought . . . a squirrel"

"BARBIE Museum!!"

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was better.

Anyways, this could involve a number of different lads unwittingly. Each should somehow be informed that "the man" has delivered money in the past to "the Church/Charity/Whathaveyou." He leaves the money in a secure place in a city far, far away on route to where ever each lad thinks he is coming.

Then . . . the car accident/assassination/Ebola occurs just as he is on his way to pick up the bag. This can even be done over the phone to various lads. An assistant can inform the lad after he waits fruitlessly for hours at an airport. When lad is concerned about traveling thousands of miles, the baiter can slap him that there is $100,000,000,000,000.37 in cash siting there.

Now, the baiters will either be contacted by the confused lads or they can contact the "lads" wondering how the hand-off went. The bottom line is that the money must be located in the safe place whatever thousands of miles away.

Sit back and see who gets there first.

Imaginative codewords may be used--"walk up to the teller and say, 'sorry, these are not my nipples.'"

One way to bait this is to have the lads either contact a far away church/organization/buyer in Singapore, Hong Kong or where ever so they can hear that "the victim" has given cash in this way before through this courier.

One could also use the "chopping lad" who has broken into the e-mails who is going to now go an "chop the dollar" literally since he knows the codes and all of that.

Could be fun.

Could have many different baits suddenly converge.

You have to throw your net wider Afferbecklauder. I sent the most stupid ASEM to 50 lads and got 25 replies.

Like most baiter modalities, they need to be adapted with experience. The Lads you chose can probably only handle a script.

ASEM a couple of hundred - and I have that volume. I offered a member 200 less than a week old for that purpose - and you'll get responses, but if you do that, you need the storyline and plan set up, so that the effort isn't wasted.

Niiice

Would be even better if we had some baiter to be the "contact person" (clueless waiter) so that we would be able to hear about what went down...

@Gomerpyle
Your completely right, on a couple of counts. The volume wasn't anywhere near that required to make a judgement. Secondly, the post I had just read seemed so explicit and convincing that I just mimicked it without thought. Thirdly, as they were fresh off the day's catcher tally, the recipients probably had their own agenda. Most likely none had any intention of getting off scripted.
I concede the notion has merit but would need a bit of tinkering.

I hated the movie, but this idea has merit.

Perhaps we can tell them it's buried in a landfill or dump or junkyard or something, where they'd really have to get their hands dirty to find it. Who here knows of an area in Nigeria where they could find that?

Already sent me lads down to the dump Laughing

I'd be willing to help out on this. BA is right, it would have to be scripted out in advance due to the volume you want to talk about. I like the idea of some location involved being on a web cam so that we can all watch the fun evolve!

Then I think that we can ask some of the others here that have good pets to do some survelance for us if they are willing to involve their pets this way.

Let me know if I can help.
