I'm new to the forum....I've seen some of your projects, the
guys doing the dead parrot sketch was classic. I get quite a few
Nigerian letters, sometimes several a day, and I've always been
answering them with a non-committal "thank you very much" and a
hopefully fake sounding address and name, usually one of the
six Three Stooges. I think I'm ready to try for a more pointed response,
trying for more of a time-wasting dialogue..... Razz

Welcome to the site! I'm new here as well, but in my few days of doing this, I've found that everyone is extremely helpful, and willing to help. And you shouldn't be afraid of asking anything or looking for clarification. There are stupid questions that you may get insulted over, but you'll get answers! (But really, you won't be insulted. There really are no stupid questions, just stupid scammers lol)

Hi Moe, Welcome to Eater! Please be sure that you are baiting safe and not responding to the scammers with an email account that is tied to your real name. Read the stickies and you can sign up for a mentor in this section: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12

Good luck and have fun!

Welcome both. There's lots to do around here so find a mentor as suggested and then figure out what kind of baiter you want to be when you grow up. Wink

Greetings to the pair of you. Read the stickies til your eyes bleed while you wait to have a mentor assigned to you - there's nothing we like more than a prepared student Wink
