Hi guys Im Nate, and im glad to be here and love what you guys do!
I have never had more fun than looking at the pic in the trophy room!!! HA!

I am to new to this to do any good and still need to read up and get lots of advice before taking on a scammer. I have received one that looks like a good one and I want to give it to one of you pros to bait.

I have the email saved in my email acct. What do I need to do to hand it over to a pro? I want to see how it gos and watch a pro do it so I can follow along and learn the trade.

It appears to be coming out of Malaysia,and this is the gist of it.

"My name is Mrs Elizabeth Smith.I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I have to you. I am 69 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,i lost my husband and i was left alone i have no family andI will be going for an operation,and i pray that i survive the operation I have decided to
WILL/donate the sum of $10,500,000(Ten million five hundred
thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord."

So let me know who wants it or what to do to get it to a pro so I can forward it to or post it where it needs to be.

Thanks guys! And sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, Im a newb, and I will catch on! Embarassed

why hand him over to a pro?

new gmail account, and answer him from there. he has no recordings to see, if he really sent the mail to your account.

follow the basic rules, which are

bait safe, let no real life data be involved

never pay money

don't tell, that you bait him, don't educate him

western union and moneygram are bad, you need his bank account (alan likes bank accounts).

stall him

read the stickies, eater univerity and get a mentor Wink

welcome to the board

by the way: those dying widows survive extremely long times, and if they really die, you can't be sure that they wont resurrect.

Welcome to Eater! A couple more suggestions:

Read dying widow baits in the Publish forum. I did one called Tickling the Spanish Ivories.

Make sure your IP address is hidden, just in case.

Use a plausible, but nonexistent, street address.

My first reply goes as such:

Id be happy to help you. Praise Jeebus! That is very good of you to think about the lives of others in such a trying time!
Im always willing to help a fellow christian.

If you want someone more experienced to follow along & help you out, get a mentor Cool

Welcome! Dying widow, classic format... If you want to survive a plane crash wrap yourself in dying widows. Them things are tough!

As an aside, don't send them ID, fake or not. They will re-use it on victims. Ask tons of dumb questions about WU and moneygram, and they will give up a bank account to shut you up. Faff around with moneygram, ask for another bank account (the first one was invalid) and off you go... A trail of dead accounts and a very sore lad.

Get thyself to Eater U.

I would say that and the mentor program are the two greatest resources added to 419eater in the past 8 years.

Take advantage of them. They are free, easy and 100% risky free.

It is like when you are a kid around the time of your birthday, expectantly waiting for Postie to deliver your birthday cards.... And then all you get is a generic one line answer!!

Welcome to eater!

There is no reason to hand him over to “pro”. I know when you start your nervous, but this will soon be replaced with delight.

This place is a great resource of knowledge and also we have a surplus section to try your hand at different formats.

I remember when I hopped into the pool and went after my first lad. Was terrified I'd somehow make a huge mess of things. No such thing as Eater U or any of the other wonderful resources that we have now, back then to help out.

Managed to stay afloat and made the lads life a misery, along with a lot of lads after that over the years. Sure, there's been a few fallen off the hook, but then there is always the Surplus Forum to find another lad in Twisted Evil

Pick another from surplus. Sometimes they get more replies than they can handle.

I remember my first, I didn't know about eater or the community of people making life hell for these scum, I just thought it was funny to mess with him and knowing the email I was using had no real connection to myself I did so. After some fun I wound up here, I tried to quit and leave once, but it didn't work, this stuff is addictive.

Nowadays I know to play a little safer and use a IP hiding email and all that, but it was still a great way to lose my virginity.
