It has been many years since I have baited, but since I have been back, I've had several people ask about that bait. We never published it properly. I do have a synopsis of it, however. It has the highlights and pics and the whole story.

This was a collaborative effort between YW, Professor So and So and myself.

Here is the link to the podcast from This American Life.

For those of you who asked, hopefully you enjoy. And I hope those links work.

If you ever wondered where the words stredded and hash conditions originated... Here ya go. The characters in this bait are about as complex and deep as a Shakespeare play.

I'm actually just finishing reading about that bait in the Greatest Hits section. Brilliant work.

^^^^
I didn't know it was in the greatest hits section. This is a link to the original bait.

Hmm. Maybe not. Well, if it isn't there, it SHOULD be.

It was there. I just linked it in that last post. I really wished we had saved everything from that bait. But we are missing phone calls and all that. Sad

There were so many good calls on that bait.

Is it allowed to ask what the death skull means on your signature jojobean?

You're allowed to ask yes. Wink

One of them was for this bait here, with Adamu.

The other was a not very publicized bait... It involved an arrest and some other stuff that's scarier than USMAN B3ll0. (Is that still a thing here?)

Oh my Lord, that was awesome. I guess I now need to spend another weekend re-reading the bait.

Heh. Stredded.

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2015 8:08 pm

So I will ask, who or what is Usm4n B3ll0 and does anyone have a link it the bait?

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2015 9:24 pm

Usm4n B3ll0 is known as the Axeman. He's not good. He's been known to cause havoc on lads as well as baiters. He was around when I baited, but I don't know if he's even doing his thing. I would think he would be done by now. You can probably search under Axeman for more information. I don't like to talk about him. He's been known to take off some lad fingers.

Yes. This is where stredded and hash conditions originated.

Ah, memories. This is the bait that forced me to buy my first laptop. At the time, when it came to desktops I was a big believer in rolling my own. Something fried on the motherboard, but no big deal. Could keep up on things at work while I was figuring out my next build. But it was July 4th weekend and I had to keep up with this awesome bait. It was worth ever penny I paid for it to be able to watch this unfold. Laughing

Reading this bait is what caused me to join Eater. I read an article in 2012 on internet scams that referenced scambaiting, and linked to the Adamu bait thread. Even without the links to the calls working, it was hilarious to read through, and after lurking for a bit, I joined up.

So jojo, I guess the lads who have lost 9000+ sites to me have you to thank for it. Very Happy

Thank you for posting this. That was a fun hour read Smile

Makes me want to read the bait of the guys who stayed three years.

You guys made Abeche a destination. The Adamu bait established Abeche as the other end of nowhere. We sent Hector there. He did not like the guy who ran the internet cafe and complained when we sent him on to Adre to meet Colonel Bob. And, of course, the entry of "Stredded in hash conditions" into the lexicon of baiting is gold.

^^^ That was my reaction when Jojo first sent me a copy of The Road to Abeche. I was like "Holy shit! You're the 'stredded in hash conditions' guy?!?"

I watched it unfold. It was an act of brilliance. Top notch stuff. It was inspirational.

So far at the Magazine part...been reading this on and off for a month.

Jojo..I know the audio clips are gone, do you still have the fake magazine?

Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:25 am

Awwww. So glad to hear you all enjoyed it that much. It's awesome to hear that this bait encouraged some of you to join. Or to buy laptops. I feel like a grandfather. Papa Jojo. Smile

I do have it. I can host it. I have to find a place that will allow some really NSFW pics. I'll do it tomorrow maybe. They're hysterical pics.

Wasn't Usman replaced with the almighty and all powerful and very malevolent Mr. Gomer? Anyway, is Mr.Gomer still a thing here any more?

Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:20 pm

Gomer is still a powerful force for Lad anguisb and breast-beating.

Great bait with so many twists.Great co working.
It's funny that i wanted to suggest in Omars thread to do next time a durian instead then bananas while years ago another sick mind suggested this in adamus thread.I am happy to send one over evey time a lad leaves for this holliday destination.
Do you keep contact with this internet cafe owner?

I think you can upload to google drive/dropbox as a ZIP/rar.

I had never heard the radio feature before. Pretty well done actually. I expected that it would have the tone of the scambaiter being the bad guy, but I do like that they ended it with the lad telling the victim to send the money rather than give medicine to a child. The true colors exposed...

When you read out what the note you gave him said in Arabic I pretty much lost it. Laughing
