A thought recently occurred to me that a lad under a great amount of stress due to being mercilessly baited (especially one who has been spending hours on S3cure Sh1eld/ M7CN S3cure/the Vault, or one who is being mass-baited) might be less effective at scamming even during the time they still have to do it. If the lad is sufficiently irritated and exhausted, is it possible that he will be less willing to write his emails carefully when corresponding with real victims, to the point of filling them with typos (more than usual) and being less articulate? And if so, how likely is it that this could, at least occasionally, save victims some money?

Although lad pain is still its own reward, it would be nice if increasing their suffering actually had a directly proportional effect on their ability to get money from victims.

I have thought the same thing. Especially after sending a scammer to s3cure sh1ld or some other freaky program and getting tons and tons of frantic hysterical e-mails after getting locked out. I assume that they aren't faking it. They probably are pretty freaked out and I assume this will affect all of the scams they are running at the same time.

I just had to comment on this quote in your signature:
"Also note that from the record in your payment files, your overdue outstanding balance is US$100,000,000,000,000 million dollars." -Sanusi Lamido Sanusi

That's hilarious. Laughing

Did he later write "US$100,000,000,000,000 (ONE HUNDRED TRILLION DOLLARS)" in a later e-mail? So you could respond "Actually, US$100,000,000,000,000 million dollars would be $100,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars. But I can settle for 100 trillion bucks." Laughing

I think stress can impact a mugus performance. Stress levels can increase the more the mugu is hooked.

I do notice that some lads can be a bit more prickly and shouty than usual, for no apparent reason, and not because of anything I've done. I do wonder who's been rocking their cradle. Very Happy

Yeah, he only meant to say $100 trillion, which is still the highest offer I've ever seen a lad make. I got him to say it by claiming that was the only amount sufficient to get me to continue with the deal, because of severe inflation in the United States.

The ultimate aim of every baiter should be to obtain a mugu cardiac arrest at the keyboard.

Well I think the most stress inducing thing is the fact that after the million or so emails they send out they only get two replies, one being from a 5 year old, and the other being from you the baiter.
After failing to snatch the 5 year old's pocket money (always go for the easiest option first) they turn to you.
When you dangle the golden carrot in front of their faces, they are prone to do just about anything ..
To some of them it must produce the same elation as if they had just won the lottery .. thinking that the cash is just moments away.
They might even go out and celebrate that evening, or break the bank of a new pair of second hand sneakers, even borrow money from even nastier people in lieu of payment . Of course they are going to tell all and sundry what a lad they are for scamming you, and receive pats on the back from their cronies and hangers on, who like vultures would be skulking around to help enjoy the lads ill gotten gains ..
Can you imagine their feelings after months and years pass and they are still hanging on .. desperate and resolute that they will still some day get the money ..
Giving them stress is not what i'm driving for , more like suicidal depression
you never know they might go postal and kill all the other lads in the Internet Cafe

^^ I like to dream that they brag to their oga, and when it dawns on them that there won't come any cash the oga does something really nasty to the lad.

Good thinking! I'm not at my best when under stress... why should a lad be? Question

I think most clearly first thing in the morning - I write important letters then as a result. I giess there's nothing like an hour or two of SS to reduce clear thinking ability... Laughing
