Is it worth it to post stock pictures (at least I'm guessing that's what they are) sent by a lad(ette)? If so, where is best to post them?

1i1ian Ne1son has sent me a few stock looking photos so far. They have no Exif data. I want to make sure I've go the hook set well before I start going for trophies. "She" has introduced me to a couple of male figures, so if "she" is unavailable for trophies maybe I can get him to do one instead.

After all, at some point, they're going to have to convince me they're not scammers Twisted Evil

IP addresses so far point to Senegal, as do most phone numbers she has given. One was a UK phone number. I don't have any phone capability set up, so I have just ignored them.

I did send her a nice 8MB Laughing

pic (of nothing) to show my appreciation. I tried something bigger at first, but it looks like yahoo will only accept up to 10MB.

It's always good to post the photos, often they will use the same photos with a variety of names and email addresses, right here in this thread is as good a place as any, you'll find instructions on posting pictures in the sticky at the top of the forum if you are not sure how to do it.

Writing used by scammer accross the photo will prevent misuse

Also not a bad idea to post the scammers details including email address, if you are concerned about your bait just be sure not to post any thing from your end about the bait when you do it.

You could also post those details on another site, scamwarners, romancescam or romance detective to name just a few places you could put it.

Hopefully any real victims who do a google search on the email address will find your post and not become the next victims

If you want others to leave your lad alone for the moment then clearly write that on your post, generally others will respect your wish, (those that dont are very rude and soon get found out and bannished Twisted Evil

)
