Hi there
I am new to the forum, but not to the site. I've been a visitor for a number of years now, from when the site started.
I am currently engaged in a scambait with a person who claims to be from my own country, but we'll see about that I have a hunch...
I am looking to up my game a bit, as my routine is getting a bit boring I think, and I am in particular looking at improving my Photoshop techniques. I absolutely love the images that some of you have sent scammers, particularly the newspaper ones, but I have no idea how to pull that off in Photoshop. I've done well with creating fake documentation, but I guess I really I need to spend time learning the software.
Anyhow, an introduction from my side I feel was in order. I am based in Southern Africa, and con-artists and 419 scammers are increasingly basing themselves here and conning the gullible public out of a lot of money.
My current ratio is low due to time constraints as I own a small electronics company, and I often don't have much time to devote to baiting in general, although my company and companies I deal with we constantly have to be alert to scams, which are of a somewhat different nature to these 419 e-mails appearing on this site. I won't bore you with the details but the common routine we are on the lookout for are fake computer/electrical/electronic companies that place large orders for goods with us and they want the orders "immediately" and want to pay "immediately" usually with a stolen check or a forged bank deposit.
One of the crooks who does this to us, has been scambaited on this site. I forget who he is but when I remember I will let you know. I am almost 100% sure it is the same person.
Best Regards and happy scambaiting

There are fake newspaper sites on the web. Do a google search. Just make sure when you save it, to chop off the website addy on the bottom of the "newspaper"! |

What sort of documents? Sending lads fakes that can be recycled for their own scams is a bad idea. |

Welcome Knuckles. I can imagine the scams you have to deal with in that line of business. If you want to know if the lad is from your country, check his IP from his email, or ask him something you think would only be known by a local. |

Thank you. About time I signed up and contributed I think
Thanks a stack for the info. That was really useful.
In terms of "fake" documentation by this I mean "fake" invoices to ensure my subject thinks I sent him some dosh, etc
I am trying a different routine at the moment with my current bait. The lad made me wait almost a week before replying. I thought he had either given up or bust me but today I was pleasantly surprised. He's using similar routines I've read about here.
As for the business scams, it is a local, the fool uses prepaid cellphone SIMs. We hand over his number usually to a local IT geek forum and they "take care" of him for us. Can't mention the forum name here, too risky since I am one of the admins there. |

be careful about sending anything a lad can use on a real vic, as they can and will. I'f you want to send an invoice thensomething like this:

Indeed.
Making sure its something they cannot use on another victim is an absolute must I concur.
I use a different method, which I gleaned from a real invoice a couple of years back, but the result is the same. |

Thanks a stack.
Feel free to ask for any info pertaining to my country such as customs, local traditions and facts about ZA. This place is a crime capital, so to survive we have to be one step ahead of the mugus and lads. However that said tons of people in ZA still fall for these 419 e-mails every day. |

Welcome to the Eater, Knuckles. Do me a favor and eat some good old braaivleis for me. Barbequeing is less popular in America than I ever thought it would be. |

I suggest you do. You never know when it's going to be taken away. Hell, I even miss listening to Nimrod Nkosi reading the lottery numbers! |

^^ This is really getting eerie. I wasn't aware that scambaiting was so popular with the South African diaspora. I personally started long after I arrived in America. |

As mentioned, great to be here ppl. Am rather glad that some of us are from good ole ZAR
SA forums are so dry at the moment with politically correct BS. Sorry but that is how it is back here at the moment. Nice to be amongst real people again
As for the braai, going to have one this weekend for a change. Thanks for the inspiration LOL. |

Thanks
This week my baits are going really well, hence lack of reply. I've been busy at work and on my one bait I've had to really concentrate. |
