a symbol to post to the lad when we are eventually caught out.

Im not sure if anyone leaves a bait without saying a farewell but Id like to give my lad a parting gift a symbol to say goodbye but I gave you the runaround for several weeks.

Something on the lines of a picture of a with a message or the words 419eater displayed so the scammer knows that you were playing him all along.

Any ideas, im sure someone must have thought of this line of goodbye before, or do we just leave the bait silently

We don't as a rule tend to let the lad know that we are baiters, just fade away or strenuously deny his accusations.

Then keep baiting him

You want to keep his mind as muddy and confused as possible, tell him he's been really rude and then ignore him, keep him guessing as to if perhaps messed up a real victim.

That would do no good, as they might eventually learn more about us than we would like them to know.

Please don't do that. Better to leave him with some doubt that he's lost a real mugu. We don't want him able to recognize baits, and thus quickly drop the baiter and go on to real victims.

Yes, you get a chuckle out of telling him that he's been had; but in the long run, you're educating the lad and helping him do his job.

If you are not bored of the bait, but it is getting tricky, you could just ignore the lad's questions and write mails like, 'I'm stressed right now' or 'I'll get back to you.' And repeat until he changes subject. Then you can tell him all about the recent problems in your life......

If you are bored of the bait: just quit writing. Leave the lad wondering what went wrong/where you went. I've done that with all my sandtimer lads - and they still keep writing and hoping. I just ignore them. I'm not so much bored of them, but bored of playing my same old characters, and I want to do different baits now.

If you tell him that you have been playing with him, though - as others have said - he might go back over your mails to look for clues ... and make it more difficult for the next baiter who comes along to distract him from real victims.

^^^^^^^^^all above^^^^^^^^^^

i know you are right and to be honest i have never said to any of my lads 'Sucker!!' its just kind of funny to slap a big red hand on them and say 'Got ya'

^^But you MUST resist that urge to do so as it could ruin other's (who are baiting him) baits and the lad would drop them too. It would be educating the lad in a sense and we DO NOT do that here at Eater. Please re-consider like the others have said.

insults and more · Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 8:52 pm

Yes, funny. Until you realize that you have just made him a better scammer because now he can identify real victims more easily. And instantly avoid any and every technical modality you used.

It's an incredibly dickish thing to do and we really hate helping the lads just because it might feel good for a few seconds.

Why not kill a kitten instead? It'll offer the same catharsis, and be less likely to cause someone to lose every dime they have.

^^As all the above have said, plus we don't want to educate them about Eater Wink

If you just want to let off steam, you might slap and insult him for something he supposedly fu**** up. Suggesting intimate relationships with goats is something highly appreciated by the lads.

^^^ lots of good advice above.

I never let the lad post the last email in a bait, even if he goes on a rant, unless I want to end it. If you leave him wondering there is a chance he may come back in a few weeks or months.

Just yesterday an old friend named Rosemary came back after I had warned her over a month ago that her "lawyer" was trying to scam her out of the inheritance that she was trying to transfer out of the UK. She has "fired" her "lawyer" and wants to resume business.

This after I got her web site closed down and demanded changes to a series of "documents" she sent. Laughing

I second that!! The transaction is never over for my character, that leaves a seed of doubt, no matter how slight, in the lads mind. Always leave them wondering!

Without beating this horse to a pulp (sorry sunshine) If your bored or simply dont have time for the bait, you can always just end it by saying:

1. I found a better interest rate for this loan
2. I found a better price for gold
3. I found a girlfriend and she doesn't want me to marry you
4. I found another apartment/job

etc etc

Those replies will likely rejuvenate some interest in your bait as your lad may try anything to get you back on board...
