^Totally agree deadk1ng. The idea of a baiting difference engine where you feed scammers in and get 'tire and fraustrated' lads out seems like a sweet prospect to me. Good luck Persius.

I understand how this is preventing scammers from using their time wisely, but doesn't this take the fun out of baiting for you? I LOVE baiting them just for the crap they say, and I think this just takes out the hilarity. Anyways, it is still a great idea, hopefully it works out

Well, I thought about this a bit. The mission of the site, and effort in general, is to reduce the effectiveness of the scammers. only a small percentage of them will fall for this bait, anyway. And as for 'fun', how is this taking away from the fun of, or need for, a 1-on-1?

I'm just a geek with a few baits going on, and this is a system I'll setup to run automatically. In fact, it will help you all as well!

When I get the email parser up (mainly to prevent the auto-responder loops), it will recognize forwarded mails (such as those from all of your SPAM accounts), and fire emails off to each of the original senders.

I think it sounds like a lot of fun to just make in cooperation with you all. And even if it can waste the time of 1 scammer per day for just a small amount of time, it is worth it in my opinion. And once ready for prime time, it can be templated, customized, and create custom messages for each kind of scam/SPAM.

Isn't that still within the bounds of the 419 baiting community's mission statement?

Thanks for the feedback. It is good to explain, as everyone then understands.

Yes, it is a great idea, and I'm not saying it isn't or anything like that at all. I just like baiting and getting funny emails from them personally. This is totally along the lines of the mission and it definitely will be successful.

I have a question about the future of this idea, will we be able to "dump" lad emails into the machine so that this starts automatically? Example: If I have 200+ lad junk emails (which I do), instead of removing them and in turn possibly sending them to a real victim, I would be able to send them to each other?

This would be amazing.
