Welcome joker1220

Glad to have you here. If you would like to bait some of the letters you get, sign up for a mentor to help you.

If you do want to bait some of the letters you receive, please do not bait from your RL (real life) email account but set up another one using fake details.

A mentor will be glad to advise you on how to do that and much more.

You will find the mentor sign up panel in Scambaiting, Help, Hints & Tips.

I fell onto your site by accident. The only thing I have done is re-direct other scam emails that I have kept back to different scammers.

Do you have a list of the best scam busting emails?

Welcome to eater, new members!

@notspamalot - What happens here is not exactly "scam busting" although on rare occasions one of us will manage to get a scammer arrested. Eater is more about wasting scammers time and resources to make it more difficult for them to exploit real victims. And we have a lot of fun in the process. Very Happy

: Please read the "stickies" on the various forums and spend a little time in Eater University. Doing this reading will go a long way to helping you understand what we do and how we do it.

Thank you. It all appeals to my sense of humour. I remember reading somewhere about a guy who was spamming people and someone had him hanging for ages asking for photos, especially in hats. Apparently the baiter's bank wouldn't engage without a photo of the spammer in a hat. Of course those images weren't good enough and other things were requested. I remember laughing so much.

I look forward to reading more, and even having a go.

I have a lot of fun asking for photos, and reading the silliest excuses from the lads as to why "she" can't get someone to snap a couple of shots with a digital camera. That this is the only thing standing in the way of me running to Western Union can keep them going for weeks, as they scramble to plead their way around this.

Now, if you'll excuse me, my spiritual advisor has to tell my future wife and subjugant that a photo of her in shorts and a t-shirt is absolutely essential for my "demonstration of desirability while in deep reflection with visual aids," which must be completed before she is approved so that I can send her some money.

Hello everyone. I've been reading this forum for hours now; it's amazing and disturbing! (in a wonderful way of course!)

Before I even knew of this site, I had my own bit of fun with a scammer; I gave him the run around for a few days, and since I couldn't determine his IP address from his yahoo emails, I embedded an image into an email to him, that pointed back to a little web server I ran on my PC. Remarkably I got 1 hit, and the IP was located in Lagos.

Hello, I'm new, but have loved this site for years. I decided to try my hand at scam baiting, and am working a scam bait right now, someone who contacted me about something I was selling on Craigslist. Here's the current state of discussion:

** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY
** Avoid: wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home
** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping
** More Info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams

Hello, I am interested in buying this as gift to someone dear to me. Please, Can you reduce the price for me? Email me back because I am hearing impaired. Thanks

Sophia

Dearest Sophia,

Please allow me to introduce myself; I am Reginald Patrice Throckmorton, esq. The Remo Microfiber couch I listed is a veritable steal at $600. What price are you willing to pay? Also, I have several other signature furniture pieces I am also willing to part with. Are you interested additional items?

Sincerest Regards,

R. P. Throckmorton

I am very glad for your response. I am believing no one has bought it yet and that is why I am offering to pay the full price on the ad. I am very busy I will not be able to see it. If the picture you showed on the ad is what it is, then I think we have no problem with it otherwise, there is something new you would like to say about its condition. I will send you a bank check for both the actual and shipping cost. Don't worry, I will do the searching for a private transporter that you will pay when they come for the pick up. If we are moving ahead, email me back with the name and address for the bank check.

Regards!

Ah, Sophia, you are the answer to a prayer! Yes, full price is of course acceptable. I completely understand very full schedules, I myself, in addition to dealing in rare and hard to find furniture items, raise competition ocelots, have my own vineyard developing 37 different strains of cough syrup wine, and run a benevolent organization where I provide monetary scholarships to deserving people from foreign countries who wish to come and take internships in America learning the fine art of Mylar paper origami. We gave out over $15,000 in donations this month alone!

Anyway, enough about me, let me know when you are ready to proceed, and also if you are interested in other furniture pieces! Just today I acquired a mortar and pestle from the early Mesolithic period!

Best regards,

R.P. Throckmorton

Hello. I'm completely new to this site. I have read through the forums for the past 3 hours and have had a blast. Laughing

Hopefully, I can learn how to bait pro style.

Oh, and yes; Im a cleaning lady/space marine/pharao.

Welcome to all the new members.

We always ask that you read the stickies, the guidelines at start of each forum thread, Eater U, inter alia.

And if/when you want to start baiting, be sure to sign up for a Mentor. You will find that sign up panel in the Help, Hints & Tips Section.

And if you need letters to bait, check out the Surplus Letters section.

If you have questions, be sure to ask.

The following sections are not behind a log in so anything you post would be searchable: Main, General Chat, Love/Dating, Miscellaneous Scams, Publish Your Work, and Surplus.

Have fun. bait safe.

I stumbled upon this site last night after trying to find more information on the scam emails I've been getting every day for at least a month now (I get 3 per day, sometimes more). I've never done anything like this before, but I'm great at taking the p*ss in real life, so why not do it as a hobby? Can't wait to wind these scumbags up! I'd love a mentor to help me out, let the games begin! Very Happy

Hey everyone Smile

Not at all new to the site. Had a rough 6+ months and kind of forgot about the internet. Tried logging in but it wouldn't let me, even though my old uername is still active, but couldn't reset the password (email address got deactivated too) and couldn't find a 'contact us' link anywhere on the site.

Sorry to rattle off that long, boring story.

I was eileen 81, and getting into the swing of things.

Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 3:30 pm

Welcome back, eileen 81!

If you pm a mod, they will be happy to restore your account.

Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 5:51 pm

Hey Dya

I did, just waiting for a response.

Howdy

There's no room for me in the mentor system so I'm going it alone! I just need to find myself a scammer....

Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 8:08 pm

Welcome! Please try again, you can't get a mentor until you've posted.

Master Baiter Joined: 14 Jul 2012 Posts: 247

Ah ok will do, thanks!

Is profile editing for premium members only? Can't find a link.

Ta.

Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:47 pm

^^^ Go to top of page -- profile, click on edit profile. You can edit all of your profile except for the "custom" tag under your Eater name. That privilege is only extended through a MOD and then you are not guaranteed of the custom tag you want. Usually you have to go Premium for a custom tag request.

Also after you make your first obligatory post you can sign up for a mentor. There are mentors available now.
