The old thread was too long, so starting a new one.

Jose's words still ring true, so I kept them. Very Happy

Welcome aboard to any and all newcomers to 419eater.com. We hope that you will find this forum a land of dreams, where you can be anything you wish to be, be it a Glamour Model, Company director, Movie star etc. You will only be limited by your own imagination.

All that the MOD team asks is that you follow forum protocols and post sensibly. The forums, as you are probably aware by now, are working forums, so the less clutter the easier it will be to navigate your way around.

The one thing we do stress here at Eater that maybe different from other forums...is that your post count doesn't count for anything. So please don't post just for the sake of posting. The quality of your post and date of joining will count for much more when it comes to your credibility as a member.

Now that you are here, please take time to look around (it can be a very entertaining experience). If you feel inclined please use this thread to introduce yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the warm reception received by all new members, so please don't be shy...after all, if you intend on sticking around, you will be amongst friends. So feel free to take the first tentative steps into the baiting world by saying hello to your fellow baiters. Remember though...don't post any personal details that would enable the scammers (or trolls) to track you down.

If you feel unsure about posting, the MOD team are always on standby to answer any questions (they are the ones with their usernames highlighted in green) so please feel free to drop them a PM...We don't bite!

Once again a warm welcome, please enjoy your stay.

Welcome to the monkey house Johny.does.

Read around the forums, Eater U is a good place to park up and read through.

When you're ready to dive in, remember, bait safe, no real life details, use a disposable email address, one that is not linked in any way to you. Gmail is good.

And mainly, Lads lie.

Hello,
I'm new to scam baiting and was looking for some tips on where to start and how to go about this. Could someone make some suggestions. I'd like to know how to I get my email address out to scammers or how can I get the email addresses of scammers to write them directaly.

All the best,
Louis

Hi

I started visiting 419eater about a year ago as a guest and finally decided to sign up. I can only hope to become as great of a baiter as some of those on here! I'll really try not to be a pain in the behind by asking too many questions.

Hi piglet7073. That is a cool handle.

Ask away as we are always willing to help but you can also sign up for a Mentor and annoy the Heck out of him or her if you choose. This link has almost everything you might want to know while you are deciding:

Welcome Piglet! Hopefully you'll get a piggy in your siggy soon (a bank account that a scammer sends you; when you report the account, you score a piggy).

Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2014 1:26 am

Thanks! I just figured out how to get my email account out so I can start working it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get some soon because I'm anxious to try my first one!

There is always Surplus you can check out to pick your own custom lad.

Hi all, just a quick post to introduce myself. I found this site while I was at uni around 6 years ago but never got round to baiting due to studies. Stumbled upon the site again at the weekend and am now looking forward to starting my first bait!

Welcome to Eater.

Take a read of this thread that has a load of FAQs http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=237673

And then you can sign up for a mentor here http://forum.419eater.com/forum/cherrie_mentor_program.php and read about the mentor program here http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=250146

Finally, if your username is your real name then PM an Admin to change it to something more anonymous.

Hey!

I've actually followed this site for a few years now and I have some free time to actually try baiting finally.

Before, I had time, but didn't really have the drive, because I figured I had much better things to do with my time than hope for spam mail, though I've spent the past year and a half or so working at a call center and can't tell you how many people have told me they got scammed by these things. I figured, heck, if I can entertain myself and simultaneously prevent Gertrude down the street from losing all her savings thinking she was doing hurricane relief, I might as well!

Right now my avatar is a corgi, partly because I like corgis and partly because usually my avatars are things I make myself but I need to make a new one here so a lad doesn't somehow find me on this site and trace me to my real info based on where my avatar comes from. Reverse image search can really come back to bite you!

Dear all,

I'm new at 419 eaters - but have been baiting on and off for the past years, time permitting. I have been lurking this site getting some good laughs and some inspiration. I have been doing some straight 'time wasting' bating, closed some bank accounts, and a few safaris too.

I am from the country where my nick names author is from - take a guess should you need some one from this part of the world in one of your baits I'll try to help.

I'm currently setting the scene for a bait where my end goal is to have a lad travel to Europe...still early days, but will post when things get interesting

Rolling out the welcome mat. Don't eat the apples when they fall from the trees- I bake them into pies for the love lads.
Read read read. Post a few. Grab a mentor and enjoy

Hi, I was a member some years back, but got too busy to keep up. I love this site, and had a great time scammin' the scammers. I started it due to my mother almost falling into one of these scams. (It was supposed to be a missionary in Africa, but it was a Lad)
I thought I'd dip my toes back into the shark water again as I now have more time to spare. Twisted Evil

Some of the new safaris blew me away!! Wow, great stuff, and great work! Laughing

Hello Folks,

I'm new here, ended up here after watching a channel 4 documentary on scamming featuring a few of your members.

Peace, Love and Unity!
