My favourite ploy is that I'm a CEO of a pharmaceuticals company and I've been trying for the last few days to make a lad take a photo of himself holding a sign that reads the name of a made up medicine: MYCOXAFLOPIN but he always finds some excuse to get out of it. Does he now what it means?

It really depends. There are a lot of dodgy meds about, I wouldn't like to mix that one up with my Viagra Smile

Suggest you make it slightly more cryptic.
Also you must be aware that scammers are shy of photographing themselves for obvious reasons. Suggest that he takes a pciture of a nice young lady doing the same instead, your marketing department has decided. Outside a mall with nice big glass windows. If he's daft enough you'll get his relection and his goofy m8's as well.

Hi snakeman2 and Welcome to 419eater

Normally you won't get a trophy photo until the lad trusts that you are truely a victim that will pay. Take your time, build some trust with him and he may do tricks for you.

Probably not. It is just that the mugus are very hesitant to allow themselves to be photographed.

I have had some success asking mugus to have themselves photographed holding the current local paper (for wherever the mugu happens to be) to "prove" that the mugu is actually where he says he is. Of course, from IP info, I already know that the mugu is "there". Maybe if you broke down his resistance with a newspaper photo, he would be less stubborn about giving you a photo with a sign.

Not as many lads as you'd imagine have digital cameras (as they don't have computers for them to be useful), and even where they do, it involves some effort to take the pic, load it onto a cafe computer, and send it to you. Lads are *extremely* lazy (or they'd work for a living...) so you really need to form a bond of trust, over considerable time, to secure a trophy. Some lads will never come up with any kind of trophy, in fact. The longer you straight bait, the more likely you can get one, but it's never a given. Those baits like Nurse Nasty does, which get loads of excellent piccies take huge amounts of work behind the scenes to get there...but keep trying, one will oblige sometime!

Welcome to Eater, Snakeman2. Very Happy

Why not study at Eater University? It's free and very useful.

Church baits have - time and time again - proven themselves to be the easiest way to get photo trophies.

It's highly unlikely your lad is privy to what Mycoxaflopin means. Heck, if I read that on a medical website I probably wouldn't even bat an eyelash myself. Lads are not bright, and you can get them to write/say/photograph lots of ridiculous phrases or words (see my avatar). Like others have mentioned, the key is building trust and having a good excuse for why you need the picture.

When I first started baiting I wanted trophies right off. I was asking for photos of the lad with a sign held after an email or two. It rarely works that easy. I learned I had to really work to get what I wanted from the lads, and even then you sometimes get lads who will just refuse to send you trophies no matter how good you bait them.

Hi, snakeman! Does your company also make Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and Ibepokin? Welcome to the nuthouse Very Happy

snakeman2, If it will help, feel free to use my spoofed Yahoo News story on your lad as a convincer that your request for a photo of him holding a sign is perfectly normal in these days of fast moving e-commerce.

Here's the link to send him.

Good luck and don't forget to post the results and the photo if you strike lucky.

hey guys, I have finally managed to get the desired photo but have been unsuccessful in uploading it onto this website (it's a blatant fake but still a trophy nonetheless and my first bait at that) if anyone wants to see it I'll happily email to them.
Oh and thanks for all of the advice guys.

Try one of the free picture-hosting sites. The one I used to use regularly seems to have turned unreliable, but http://imageshack.us/ is still good (so far, anyway).

And I love the fake drug name. It's actually a very believable name with the "myco-" at the front (usually relating to drugs that have been produced from fungus derivatives---if you didn't already know that, of course).

Mycoxawhopper. So naaaah!

Hmm...

Hall of shame, perhaps? Confused

That's terrible!

In the good meaning, of course.
