I have lad who has agreed he/she claim - Could somebody suggest a good location and maybe even take photos or video of this, or does anybody know a good webcam for this?

This is my first attempt to set up meeting, so I could need some help on this.

My idea is to stand the lad up by pretending to have forgotten al about time zones.

I have a (lousy) passport scan and a photo. So this might actually be a ladette or somebody who knows this girl.

My character got horny over the passport photo and has invited her on a date Smile

BTW - I am not in London

Update Aug 7:
This lad is not likely to show up after all. Two things convinced me that it would be possible: I mistook the lad for being London and he keeps offering to come to my house.

Now it shows that he is Nigeria based.

The mistake of a newbie - Sorry guys!

Maybe I should get a mentor.

Get your mugu to print off all your emails to date and carry these to the meeting.

Then arrange for the boys in blue to be called to a suspicious looking male/female a few minutes after he/she shows up? Hopefully, the police will pull him and look in to the emails that he is carrying and see from the very first one that it's all a 419 scam, or failing that could even drop the MET police another line indicating that they are a 419 scammer? Shouldn't be too hard to get the police there, in London they are ultra paranoid about terrorism as it is. Even though he/she is just stood there they will still question him under the anti terrorism laws....just for looking a bit shady.

Perhaps even arrange for someone in that area of London to keep an eye on things and maybe get some souvenir pics or video too?

The usual modality is to find a place rich in webcams and then we all watch when we can.

I recall one baiter got a Lad (or more than one) to agree to meet on the museum ship HMS Belfast, and then a group of baiters shadowed the Lad(s) to take covert pix.

The scan and photo were probably supplied by one of his earlier victims. Lads don't need to use pictures of themselves.
Lads do travel sometimes, but it's more likely that he will make up some reason for not making the meeting. A reason that needs you to send him money.

A London webcam meet is a fun participatory event for baiters, and we haven't had a good one in quite some time.
Here's a Leicester square webcam:
LINKY

The linked page also has some other good ones like Belushi's and the famous Abbey Road crossing.

I would urge people to avoid covert photo opportunities (in person) unless you seriously know what you are doing and what you are getting into. Having done so myself in my more naive days, I was very surprised to see not only the lad but to run into one of his minders (practically face to face).

Not a good idea. What are you going to tell the police- the truth? The Met have better things to do than respond to stupid phonecalls. It won't be the lad who attends. It'll be one of his mates who lives in London. What offence has he committed? At that moment- none.

Best idea is to get the lad on a webcam.

that Leicester Square Camera looks pretty good. But he'd have to carry a large stuffed pink elephant to make sure you recognize him. Smile

Taj Mahal

I do agree, and found a webcam in Edinbourgh, it is front of a church - I almost have it prhased now: "Let's meet outside the church and then go in in and say our prayers" - Or maybe say our prayers before.

The beauty of this is that it would be a safari if the lad is London based, wouldn't it?

And the bad news - Haven't heard from the lad today. But patience is the keyword here, at least so I think.

Just one thing: I would like to see this lad busted and then again, we have exchanged less than 10 mails to get to this, and I see a lot more fun in this lad.

So can somebody tell me what is the priority: A bust or have fun with the lad?

I have an offer for a gold mine - Only 15mil$ for full ownership - Is that a bargain? Smile

Picture this. Set up a meet somewhere and invite all the baiters along.
Perhaps in a small alley somewhere.
Imagine the Mugu when he sees a large bunch of people decending on him down the alley screaming, all caught on camera.
whos in ?

Update:

The lad might not be UK based after all - I got this a while ago:

Quote:

I am very sorry for the short mail, am very busy..i will take the 3.00pm flight to central American for a legal assignment, i will be coming to meet you from there on one condition, you are going to pay for my flight to meet you in your house or office. then we can continue of the business over there.

What do you think.
I will tell my best food personal, do you know how to cook? If yes You will do that for me.

I will you to tell the city you are now and your house or office address.

Have a Lovely Day
XXX

Or maybe this indicates a US-helper?

An then leaving Friday afternoon for a "a legal assignment" - I guess she's going to spend weekend in Vegas, or something like that Smile

This also his first begging for money, but I have told my Sam that she will no trouble like that, because I will come to meet her in London.

This is the reply, he got:

Quote:

My love XXX

I told you that I am coming to London next week and now you tell me that you are going away. Are you calling our meeting then?

You can not be too at geography as I do not live in America, my address clearly states my country.

I have a feeling that you are trying to avoid me. If it is so then please tell me, that is the least you do for me. Is my assistant right when he says that you do not care about me at all?

I am getting confused over this, please explain.

I still love you

I know I missed out on a word or two, but the basic meaning is clear enough.

Am I losing this bait?

At least I think he is frustrated that his "victim" is more after the girl than money Smile

If it comes to it after much hesitation and he just won't buy the ticket himself, you could buy him a ticket. Go to Travelocity or other ticket site, go through the steps until it gives the ticket info, capture a screen-grab of the ticket info, and then cancel. Then send the screen grab, tell him all is good, he just needs to go to the airport with packed bags and hop on the flight. Perhaps ask if he could pack a few things for you first.

Chuda, the killer cat: I would get his email headers and run it through a site like ipadress.com (yes the site misspelled "address" for some reason). That way you can find out where he really is so that you can get him to safari or if a webcam is possible.

Perhaps something like this:

Pranksters convince a random guy off craigslist to go to a restaurant visible on an online webcam. They then tell him to hit a nearby car with a chair. He is then confronted by the car owner and ends up in the back of a squad car.

Links removed- this sort of thing violates the innocent third party rule(ITP) and is therefore inappropriate here -MM

Yeah, no dice there.

Not because of the arrest; I'm all for a lad arrest if it happens. But a bedrock principle here is to not damage innocent third parties. I don't want someone thinking that their car is damaged because of scambaiters.

EDIT: Now, if you were to park your OWN car there in self-sacrifice, then maybe. But then you'd be looking at making a false report to police officers, which would be criminal, and so it's still a bad call.

Just an update:
There will no meeting as it turns out that this lad is in Nigeria - Sorry guys.

I made his character backfire on him. So now he is writing love letters to my male character. Have a look:

Quote:

My dear xxxx, i cannt lie to you, i have love you so much, i can't do any thing without thinking about you.

and this

Quote:

I love you so much.

It must cost on his macho self confidence Smile
