Well, I finally got around to posting my first bait...

http://www.easy-sharing.com/285371/Correspondance.pdf.html

It went really well. There are definitely things that I would have done differently, but it was fun. I definitely did a lot more work than I should have, but everyone is overeager when they first get going. I did get a bit spoiled by this one. It was like a trophy machine. Very cooperative, very fun. I was a little disappointed on my next bait because they were not nearly as cooperative. Anyway, feel free to read and look at the pictures. Make sure to read the induction form- it is class!

Hopefully the link works for everyone. I downloaded it last night to make sure it worked, and it did. So if anyone has problems with it, let me know.

I like the part where he admits to be a scammer and then tries to scam you again... He does it quite good though, you might almost fall for it. Smile

They are however very good beggers I already noticed. I have a account in which I pretend to be a scammer and brag about all my collected money to other scammers, 9 out of 10 I get a 'please send me some money, pleeeaaase?' reply. Smile

The bait was well done and rather funny at times. I agree with you in that you did a great deal of work, but I don't think that there is anything wrong with it if you are the one calling the shots. For instance, I would NEVER fill out a form for a mugu but I am more than happy to spend a few hours creating some for him the fill in. You can re-use those forms that you made.

Who was the girl in the second photo? The one with the fishing hat on? Did I miss that somewhere?

I love it when you get them to admit that they are scammers. I have had a few admit it too. They also asked for a handout. You should have asked him for his actual photograph. Oh well, can't wait to see your next one.

The girl in the hat is the same girl in the pictures... she just looked a bit different because the other first pictures she sent were from a few years ago. My how she aged! In only a couple of years! It was amazing how she changed, shape, height and SKIN colour. But a few years of scamming could actually do that to you.

I tried with another forum poster to get her/him to call once he admitted to being a scammer, but she never called at the right times.

I did do a lot of emailing though. It was definitely a lot of immediate responses betwee us.

As soon as my safari bait is done I will have to post that.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Is that screen capture (the one saying that you can only send 999$) really what you sent to her? The taskbar caught my attention Laughing

Yes, did you like how the 419eater website was up there? I was thinking of cropping it and cutting that out, but then I thought it would be better not to. Never got any question about it. Very Happy

I figured it was a nice gag.
