Sometimes they don't like it...
His character's name is M1ng Y4ng.
I never managed to get which is the first and which is the last.
However, after some e-mails, I began with:

Quote:

Dear Y1ng,

He let this one go.

So after I wrote:

Quote:

Dear Y1ng Y4ng,

I'm sorry, I effectively didn't understand what you mean. It's crystal clear now.

[...]

Which he replied with:

Quote:

Please for your information I am not Y1ng Y4ng as addressed me in your last message.
Send your valid identification again as I am unable to open the one sent previously by you.

[...]

So I answered:

Quote:

Dear Y1ng M4ng,

[...]

He began to boil:

Quote:

I am beginning to think that it is either you have a problem with spellings or it is a deliberate attempt to bastardise my name.

My names are M1ng Y4ng and not Y1ng M4ng or Y4ng Y1ng as indicated in your last 2 mails,please be corrected and stay corrected.Once again I am unable to view your identification.

[...]

I just sent him a message beginning with:

Quote:

Dear M4ng,
I hope I wrote it right this time?

[...]

Now I wait Laughing

I just love when they do it

This shows an important part of baiting; steer the discussion into non-essential areas.

Instead of a linear discussion which inevitably leads to the money shot, divert your Lad with inconsequential inquiries and suppositions of all kinds.

Pick out a minor point in a Lad mail, and demand it be answered. Soon, you'll be so far down a branch line, the Lad will have forgotten why he was there in the first place.

The longer your Lad is on the line, the more he has invested emotionally in dealing with you, the easier he will be later on to manipulate into doing silly things, like travelling to Mongolia or having his ears cut off. Razz

Was it Shiver whose sigline included, "My name is not ahoy matey, thank you"?

Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 1:02 pm

^^^^

I think it was exactly:
"My name is not ahoy matey, thak you"

Edit: I just found it back:
"Please my name is not Ahoy Matey. thakyou....."

Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 1:05 pm

^Ah, thak you very much!

@Albator: Amazing what lad fun you can create with just two letters!

Wasn't it member bunnyrabbit who had a cottage industry mangling lad names on WU forms?

Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 3:56 pm

It's amazing how much fun you can have that way.

I always look for an amusing alternative to a Lad's name and my Russian models always end their mails BiBi Tatyana whatever, and then they come back Hello BiBi, and being so childish it just cracks me up.

i have one that is getting frustrated over me emailing him instead of his contacts.

His name is LT General S@m Edw@rds

so you know i have to reply with

LT General Sc@m Edw@rds

3 emails and he doesnt even note it

Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 7:19 pm

I love this name change thing. You can do it in a suble way too. With gmail and other email systems, you can change the way that their name appears in the From line.

Go to your Contacts and give him a "special" name. I did that with a hit man and it really irritated him because he couldn't change it... Twisted Evil

Albator, change him in your contacts to Y1ng Y4ang, then tell him it is something on his end. In my case it went from "Agent Killer" to "Asian Killer". Laughing

Who knew that a fake name would cause so much angst? Cool

What's even more fun is screwing up their names, and then watching them TAKE the name you gave them! And then...even better...using it in future formats!

It's a great way to get them to appear less believable to potential vics. You never know when someone might reject a scam format from someone with an obviously rediculous name, when they might have accepted it from someone with a normal name.

Often, scammers have no real concept of how Western names should sound (just like we don't know how African names should sound...I'd completely believe some dude is named Mombaba Abubu, when for all I know, that really means "licking chicken fingers".) Wink

Didn't Ima get a lad once to bait using HER name? I recall I thought that was an award-winning moment.

I love those K0ffi lads, my mail was like:

Dear Mr. Coffee....

and he write back and say nothing about it, until his name turn up at the end of his email..

Special regards,

George K0FFI

I'll do the contact thing and change his name to Michael Fishpong and see how he reacts. Very Happy

We need funnyrabbit here to show us the impact name changing can have. Laughing

Some lads make it too easy to screw with their names. My current bait is a prime example. Been e-mailing with Ge0rge W1redu, I've responded each time calling him Mr Weirdo, he hasn't called me out on it after 10+ e-mails. Smile

Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 9:55 pm

^^
Now that is a PERFECT example...if you can actually get him to start calling himself Mr. Weirdo, that would be a name that could scare off a few potential vics.

See how this works? Very Happy

Typo, I'm sure you meant scam, not bait. Wink

Yes. My lad of two years, Ray King, has formats in the name of my Sister Sledge character and even better, Jiminy Kricket. Laughing

Bunny Rabbit's name changing baits are hysterical.

@Wright B: Excellent point and well explained. Thumbs up

I'll be looking for that post to link to in the future.

I've got a lad (Football agent extraordinaire Th0mas Br1cks) who for some reason added the name Solomon to mine when he sent me his application.

So now I'm aspiring young footballer Sol0mon M3rle Solar1s...I think I'll go with it!

edit: Oh, and in my latest reply to him, he became Th0mas Br1ck. We'll see if he notices...

Oops, ya, I meant scam. Embarassed

And thanks for reminding me...I remember it now. It was definitely a banner moment in the anals of baiting!

When I chop dollars, I like to change the lad's name to "BASTARD <barr.koffi@yahoo>" that really makes them feel special. Very Happy

One of my earlier pets became peeved after several weeks worth of 'Dear Goodwank' Laughing

Frank Bobby never objected to being called Mr Blobby, but when Gerald Obialor was called Gerald Obailor, he got cross:

Quote:

Please point of correction,my name is not OBAILOR but OBIALOR

Prima donna!

So much funny examples I see!

His reply today began with:

Quote:

First and foremost I think you are a very obstinate man and you are intentionally spelling my name wrongly. M4ng is not my name.It now seemed ages ago when we were in good terms with each other,
