Hello I'm New here! Joined: 29 Apr 2007 Posts: 11

Been baiting a guy claiming to be Prince William for a few days now. He asked me to contact a man named "Danny" from the bank with the amount of money to be transferred, my phone number, and a copy of my passport or ID card. Not wanting to send an ID card I send them this:

Danny,
The amount to be transferred to me is $10.5 million, and my personal phone number is 206-350-****. I don't have an ID card, so I've sent you a photograph of Telly Savalas instead. I hope this is acceptable.

Yours,
*********

Oblivious or what? Very Happy

As of late I'm beginning to think that in some cases when you think you're working on one lad, you're really working on two or three of them sharing that email addy, with only occasional supervision by the oga.

I've said some weird things to a lad lately, and they may take two or three emails before they react to it.

I don't know if they're working in "shifts" or not, but I am getting the impression that the second or third shift lad hasn't really read the email traffic that you had with the lad on the first shift. The style seems different.....either that, or that's an indication that you've gotten them off script and English isn't their first language.

I know that in a recent check bait, the communication between the lads at the other end seemed to be very sloppy. One lad went to Moneygram and didn't get his money, after which the first lad complained about it in one email, and then sent me more fake money orders even though he didn't get his payment on my first "job". Go figure.

Whenever I get pulled over for speeding I always just give the officer a picture of Telly Savales instead of my drivers license. Gets me out of a speeding ticket every time!

When Chipmunk sends bogus stuff and the Lads are oblivious to it, I try to find a way to make them aware, so we can have a few more go-arounds with MORE bogus stuff.

"I made a mistake, I sent a picture of Telly Savalas by mistake. We look similar, hence the mistake. What was it I was supposed to send again?"

They hate my NINJA moves! Hehehe!

@worldmap- Laughing

That is great! Lads only care about $$$, not Telly. I'm always amazed at what they'll reply to. I usually send the spam filter fooling text that gets sent along with spam ads for Cialis and other "enhancement" drugs ;and the lads play along for the most part.

@capt_kipper- Laughing

and yet he is still on the hook! That is great stuff, keep it up guys! beers!

Dupes^^

I like your Jack Torrance better than the one for Telly.

Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 1:10 pm

That is great! I love how you just said that here is a pic of Telly, not even trying to claim it was you. Laughing

"Who loves you baby!?"

Like us, they may not really be looking for smart people.

Maybe some of them feel encouraged when their potential vics do strange things.

I had one recently asked me to fill in the usual form and at the end a request for my "Genuine Identity". I wrote against this, "Yes the above is my genuine identity". Next reply he thanked me for sending the form... and my identity!

Wilburwright, please don't post on old threads. The last post on this thread before yours was over two years ago. Wink

We prefer that you start a new topic and post a link to an old relevant topic.

I'm not going to split this off to a new topic though, because this is one my favorite old threads at Eater. Laughing

I'm glad you didn't split it. I never saw this one and I am laughing so hard it hurts.
