So, trying to brush up on my African geography studies, I was playing around with google maps to see where we could send lads to, send them places with no roads, how far airports are away, etc.

Anyway, I came across some really interesting info. There's not a lot of info in google maps, but there are lots of blue "placemarkers" that contain user added content. LOTS of them are piracy reports, as in real pirates, in lagos and port harcourt. Here are a few:

So my thought was that you can use this to play into your baits. If the lad is too lazy to go on a safari, you can maybe send stuff to the ports for pickup - maybe it will get him arrested by the port guards, whom I imagine are not too friendly.

Uh, yeah, the suitcase with the money is on a grey boat. Hop on board and tell them you're looking for "Allah!" really loudly.....

Please don't double (or triple- or any other multiple) post. Just edit your prior post. Thanks -- JMR

My bad, will remember for future.

Hey.. That sounds like a good Western Union Question.

Whats the money for?

Pirate ransome

or something similar.

Actually, on a similar note, I was wondering if anyone had tried putting something like that as a security question?

Sec question: What is the money for?
Answer: Lottery winning fee or:
Answer: Advance Fee for Large Money

See if they like that answer Smile

I'm sure they'd rather give it a try then tell you to go to WU and fix it, but they still wont like it.

I can't find the thread, but one of our baiters here had the Q&A field with something pretty fiery.

I believe they went something like this.

Q: What are the funds for?

A: To build a bomb to blow up in the marketplace.

Naturally the lad was not happy with it. Laughing
