Hi everybody! This is my first bait, it has been going on for several weeks. It's a straight bait of a Next of Kin scammer which has veered into romance. My character, Katra, is a little... crazy. She's unpleasant when she's angry (she doesn't swear, but boy can she SHOUT), but she's really horrible when she's in love with you! Twisted Evil

At one point Katra goes ballistic and points out all the flaws with a picture the scammer sent; we shouldn't do that, of course, and I won't make that mistake again, but it was very much in character -- Katra already has a life of her own!

My husband, by the way, finds this all hilarious. He's the one who suggested I use the "Amazon" thing for my sig.

MY COMMENTS ARE IN RED, KATRA USES NORMAL TYPE EXCEPT WHEN SHE DOESN'T, SCAMMER IN BOLD, 'BANKER' IN ITALICS.

"SORRY TO WASTE YOUR TIME"

Dear
Greetings to you this day.

I am writing you urgently for your cooperation in an issue I need you to handle with me. My name is Mr. R, RICH, I am an Indian Guyanese. I am a banker based in London. I was actually helping a friend Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba, an Australia businessman. He wants to transfer some of his Money from Iraq. Islamic people unjustly destroyed his properties without any form of pity or compensation. Mr.Neenus Y. Khoshaba, was an unfortunate victim of this attack, he was Kidnapped and Murdered .

Before his death,I assisted him to deposit the sum of $12.2 million dollars in a finance vaulting firm. These were proceeds he made secretly from various oil deals in iraq. I had the opportunity of knowing this because I was his banker. He also appealed to me to ensure that the funds were safely kept and if anything should happen to him I should make his fiance his next of kin.

I have made frantic effort to contact any relatives of Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba for the past two months without any success, his fiance died of shock after hearing of his death. At this point I am contacting you to act as the next of kin/original beneficiary to Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshabas fund in the bank because the bank is planning to hold the funds as "uncleared funds" and thus make it banks money since no one has come forward to claim it.
I need you to stand as the next of kin so that the funds can be processed in your name and also transferred to your account. I cannot do this alone neither can I make claims to it myself that is why I need your assistance.

If you agree to take up this responsibility, then I will facilitate the process in making you the official beneficiary to the funds and you will be required to contact the bank to instruct a transfer of the funds to your account. I want to really appeal to you that as soon as these funds are transferred to you, you will be trustworthy enough to
keep it safely and also to keep it confidential.
As soon as this funds is transfered to your account I shall come over to your country for sharing of the funds accordingly.

If you agree to assist me in this matter, you will definitely be entitled to 20% of the total for your participation and we shall use some of the money to charity and help the poor. send mail to me if you are interested in this deal. I await your reply.

Best Regards,
RICH

Dear Mr. Rich,
I am a little confused by your email but I am definitely interested. Is this quite legal? As long as it is legal I would be very happy to help out in any way I can. My goodness, 20 percent of 12 1/2 million is still quite a lot! Poor Mr. Khoshaba. Maybe we could give some of the money to his favorite charities?
Sincerely yours
Katra Holstein

I live in Lubbock, Texas in the United States -- that's in northwest Texas. I work as head librarian at the Lubbock Christian University Library. I'm 36, and a widow. My husband James passed away three years ago.
Is there anything else you would like to know?
For my part, can you tell me anything about what Mr Khoshaba's favorite charities might have been? I feel very strongly that we should honor his wishes if we possibly can, to help his poor spirit rest a little easier. You mentioned that he was your friend, did he ever talk to you about things like that?
Sincerely yours
Katra Holstein

Dear Mr. Rich,
I am a little concerned that you didn't read my last email to you. I have already answered many of your questions, why are you asking me again? Didn't you pay attention the first time? I don't like having to repeat myself. I dislike it more than anything! But I will repeat myself THIS ONE TIME because you didn't know how I feel about that. Now you do. So please pay attention. I wrote:
>

>
> Is there anything else you would like to know?
I also asked you a question, Mr. Rich, could you please answer it? Here it is AGAIN:
>For my part, can you tell me anything about what Mr Khoshaba's favorite charities might have been? >I feel very strongly that we should honor his wishes if we possibly can, to help his poor spirit rest a >little easier. You mentioned that he was your friend, did he ever talk to you about things like that?
>
I would like to assure you that I always check my email every day, except when I go on vacation, which is very rare. Also, I am capable of handing funds, my late husband left me with a good deal of money (MMMM, YUMMY YUMMY MONEY!) which I am managing well. I do not really need to work, but I was so lonely at home since James passed on, and we did not have any children. The Christian University library was the perfect solution for my life. I've been voted Favorite Librarian by the students for two years in a row now, which warmed my heart.
May I ask what you mean by 'relocate'? Are you planning to move to the U.S.? May I recommend you consider Texas, it is the best state in the Union. I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE'S FROM TEXAS. I'VE NEVER EVEN BEEN THERE!

I am reluctant to give my contact information until I know just a little bit more about you, Mr. Rich, so could you show me some form of identification? Or maybe a photo? I would appreciate that very much. I will send you a photo as well.
Sincerely yours,
Katra Holstein

Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 6:16 AM

MY DEAREST KATRA,
PRETTY GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU URGENTLY AND I AM SORRY FOR REPEATING THE QUESTIONS.
YOUR MAIL MESSAGE IS 100% OKAY AND I HAVE ALREADY SET THE BALL ROLLING BY MEETING WITH THE LAWYER WHOM I CONTRACTED TO HANDLE THE LEGAL PAPER WORKS DOCUMENTS IN YOUR NAME AS THE OFFICIAL NEXT OF KIN BENEFICIARY OF THIS FUND.
SO HE HAS STARTED THE PROCESS AND I WILL KEEP UPDATING YOU, AFTER COMPLETING THE PROCESS, THEN THE DOCUMENTS WOULD BE SENT TO THE BARCLAYS BANK LONDON WHERE THE FUND IS DEPOSITED AND THE BANKER OFFICER INCHARGE OF THE FUND AND INTERNATIONAL REMITTANCE OF THE BANK WHO ALSO IS A FRIEND OF MINE WILL CONTACT YOU AND THE PROCESS OF THE TRANSFER WILL COMMENCE BY THE BANK WHICH WILL BE SPEAR HEADED BY MY FRIEND THE BANKER OFFICER.
2] ABOUT THE PHOTO, IT IS OKAY BUT SINCE I WILL BE MEETING YOU AFTER THE TRANSFER IN USA I THINK WHEN I WILL SEND IT WHEN I AM SET TO COMING VISITING YOU SO AS TO IDENTIFY ME AT THE AIR PORT, SO LET US BE COMMUNICATING AS FAMILY FRIENDS, BUSINESS PARTNERS AND AT THE END WE SHALL SMILE AND USE PART OF THE FUND FOR GOOD INVESTMENTS IN TEXAS AND I WILL THEN HAVE A BASE IN TEXAS AND HOPEFULLY LOOK FOR A WIFE SINCE I LOST MY FORMER WIFE JUST AS YOU LOST YOUR HUSBAND.
3] ABOUT LATE KHOSHABA'S WISH OF CHARITY, WELL HE USED TO THINK OF SETTING UP AN OPHANAGE OR JUST BE HELPING CHARITY ORGANISATIONS WHICH HE WAS DOING ONCE A WHILE. SO WE CAN SET UP AN OPHANAGE OR WE DONATE SOME OF THE FUND TO DIFFERENT CHARITY OUTFITS. THAT WILL BEN PRETTY GOOD.
4] YOU FORGOT TO SEND ME YOUR PHONE CONTACT FOR MORE COMMUNICATIONS. SO YOU CAN SEND IT AS YOU RESPOND AGAIN.
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

Dear Mr. Rich.
This is Katra.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

But I have some small concerns with the picture you have finally been so kind as to send me.

I was very interested to see it.

Now, I will speak to you sir from my heart.

(taking a deeeeeep breath!) Smile

>I HEREBY SEND YOUR MY PICTURE WHEN I WAS AT MY FARM IN MY TRUCK >IN LONDON.

Your truck in London.

Really.

Did you know that the truck in the picture is obviously not in England? Do you know how I know that? The steering wheel is on the wrong side for England! Are you an idiot? I am not!

Everything about the picture -- the truck, what he is wearing, and the condition of the picture itself -- is obviously at LEAST 20 years old, probably more. And obviously not in England. All you did was find a random picture on the internet. And this is the best you could come up with?? You are either crazy, stupid, or dishonest -- or, it seems, all three. It's also insulting that you'd think me so stupid that I would fall for something so ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!!!!!
DO NOT EVER CONTACT ME AGAIN.
YOU ARE A LIAR, AND QUITE A POOR ONE AT THAT

LEAVE ME ALONE AND GO AWAY NOW
LIAR
LIAR

LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely not yours,
Katra Holstein.

MADE SURE TO 'SHOUT' IN HUGE LETTERS IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD BE VISIBLE OVER HIS SHOULDER IN HIS INTERNET CAFE.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD END HERE, BUT HE KEPT RESPONDING, SO I KEPT GOING.

How could anyone trust you enough to do business with you? You didn't even try to defend your picture when I said it was not yours. If it was really yours you would have said so, would have told me I had it all wrong.
Don't bother emailing me again. You are a liar. And you know it.
And you're not even a skillful liar.

Mr. Rich
I just don't understand why you are still emailing me. Yes, sir, I have insulted you, because I feel you have insulted me and my intelligence with your picture that can't possibly be you. I hope you notice I am a lady and do not use swear words. That would be beneath both of us.
Please, then, express yourself now. Please explain your picture. I already told you why I don't believe it. But perhaps I am wrong and judging too hastily. Please explain. I wanted to believe you.

NOW YOU SAID ABOUT THE SIDE OF THE STEERING OF THE TRUCK, WELL YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE USE BOTH SIDES ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU BUY THE CAR FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY, YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE WHICH I HAVE NOT BECAUSE I USE THE OLD TRUCK ONLY FOR MY FARM.

Dear Mr. Rich,
Thank you for taking the trouble to explain. I am sorry I was rude. As I've told you, I am a woman alone in the world since my husband passed away and I have to look out for myself. When I feel I'm being lied to, especially by a man I like, I just get so terribly upset. You must have the patience of a saint. I am so sorry for the way I behaved toward you. I hope you will forgive me?
You mentioned in your recent email that "the banker has written me", but I don't know what you mean. I looked carefully though my inbox and I don't think I have received any email from any other banker than you, Mr. Rich. Perhaps there was some mistake? Could he try again? I assure you, I am definitely interested in this relationship. Please don't worry. I'm just grateful you're still talking to me after the way I blew up.
I am attaching a picture which was taken last year at the Cooper family reunion. (Cooper is my maiden name. I took the name Holstein when I married James.) I am in the middle, between my twin nephews (they are my younger brother's sons). One of them (Kent, on the left) is a pilot, and the other (Kurt, on the right) is in law school -- I am so proud of them!! I only wish they lived in Texas so that I could see them more often! James and I did not have children. I wish now that we had.
Please feel free to call me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Remember I'm in the U.S. Central time zone, which is 6 hours behind where you are in England. I look forward to hearing your voice, do you have a British accent? I love those!
Sincerely yours,
Katra Holstein

Dear Mr Rich,
I am fine, thank you, I hope you are too. It is so terribly hot here in the summer -- I felt a little faint this morning and have stayed home from work today. I know that when I return tomorrow I will find books in all the wrong places -- it always happens unless I watch those kids like a hawk! But I was worried about driving my car when I felt light headed. I am much better now.

Yes, I have just now sent the email to Mr Hong Fong as you asked. I feel a little bad claiming I am related to Mr Khoshaba -- what if he asks me questions about Mr Khoshaba that only a relative would know? I hope that if they do, I'll be able to have a chance to ask you, as you were his close friend. I don't want this money for myself, I want to help the unfortunate victims of bad things all over the world. I guess I should just focus on that.
I must confess... you made me blush when you called me an "Amazon." Thank you very much -- what a very nice thing to say! Smile

You are a very nice man.

My dear Mr Rich,
I will wait patiently for Mr Hong Fong and do as he advises -- I emailed him earlier today, but I promise I was very polite, just assuring him I was ready to go forward with everything.
But I am so glad to hear from you. I was sitting outside on the patio -- it is raining here today, but it is nice and refreshing feeling because it's been so hot. I took today off, so that I could go to the doctor. Don't be worried to hear about a doctor my dear Mr Rich, everything went well, I was just worried about when I felt faint last week. Thank goodness I have good insurance through the university, or I would have had to pay for nothing since the doctor promised me I am healthy as a horse and I just must be more sensible on hot days. I bought a cute new sun hat to shade my head, but I don't need it today! Smile

JUST A MINOR HEALTH PROBLEM IN CASE I WANT IT TO ESCALATE LATER.

You have been so sweet to me and I can't stop thinking about you. I cannot help but smile when I think of being your Amazon. Wonder Woman is an Amazon princess, do you have those sort of comic books in England? I always loved Wonder Woman as a little girl. She had a golden lasso that could make people tell the truth, I always thought that would be the best thing in the world. IF ONLY SHE COULD USE IT ON YOU, SCUM LORD.

You must think I am very silly going on like that... I'm sorry. I wish I knew more about you. I am very sorry that your wife passed away. How long have you been alone? I don't mean to pry. But I do know just how you feel, I really do.
Your Amazon

A special poem selected for you!
I Couldn't Help Thinking
by Caroline

This morning I was walking
Upon grass sprinkled in dew
When someone unknown came and said,
"Let me walk with you."
He knew no consent was needed
And so in silence we walked
Comfortably we went nowhere HEH HEH
And nowhere is where we talked
Fields were all around us
Morning sun was shining through
And even now I remember
That someone being you
I couldn't help thinking
How beautiful it was to me
To walk so very far with you
And sit with you by the sea
The sun was rising over the waves
And your face was kissed with light
I couldn't help thinking
How this moment was so right
The silence was so beautiful
And I loved how it went unbroken
Heaven is remaining with you
Where no words must be spoken
With you, hours are like minutes
And fly by till it's night
So we stare up at a sky
That possesses stars so bright
Staying here with you
Proves how I love you so
And this is how I tell you
So you'll never let me go

My darling Rich,
It's past my usual bedtime but it's so hard to rest, I can only think of you and how happy we will be! I will never leave your side, I am a faithful woman who has a lot of love to give to one man. I want you to be that man, I want to look into your eyes and say our vows together!! Darling did you see the picture of the dress I sent you, isn't it beautiful, I want to go and order one like it on Saturday so that I can be ready as soon as you are here, and not have to wait for stuff like fittings and finding the perfect shoes. I will take care of all the arrangements here, and I will treat you like a prince, always! I am a good cook and I don't mind if you like to watch sports.
I emailed Mr. Fong again, since you said it was OK, but I think I had better not keep pestering him or he will get mad, maybe you could email him and ask him if everthing is going OK? I want to get married!
When I finally get to sleep I will dream of you, sweetheart. I know I will. We were meant to be together, always.
Love
Katra, your Amazon

And you didn't say anything about the pretty wedding dress I sent you a picture of! Not one word!!! I thought you wanted to get married!!
Why is the bank taking so long, aren't you bankers all friends, I think you are playing some game with me! I AM VERY UNHAPPY

Awesome work! Something tells me the lad has bitten off more than he can chew...

Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 8:55 pm

Nice first bait. clapping

One small thing to remember for next time is that you can keep your first few emails a lot shorter. The lad will have a script that he's using on you and won't really come away from it until you force him off. Short and sweet and let him do the work.

There's loads of different ways you can take this lad. Chop his dollar, introduce another character to mess him around, start sending him fake WUs, take the insanely jealous lover route: it's up to you.

As you've got a love twist going, maybe you might want to check out the Love/Dating scam forum for a few ideas.

Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 12:34 pm

Thank you! I did have a short first few emails, but after that, the character took over. I know it wastes my time a little, but I enjoy it. I will indeed check out the Love/Dating Scams forum. I'd love to work on those kind of lads, they make my blood boil!

ACTUALLY I TOLD YOU THAT I BOUGHT THE RING IN MY DREAM AND GAVE TO YOU AS ENGAGEMENT RING OKAY, SO I INTEND TO BUY IT LIFE WHEN YOU RECIEVE THE FUND AND I COME OVER THERE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU, THEN I WILL MAKE A TRIP TO PLACES LIKE SWITZERLAND WITH YOU WHERE WE CAN BUY SUCH GOOD DIAMOND RINGS. SO I WILL USE PART OF MY SHARE TO BUY IT FOR YOU.
2] I HAVE SEEN THE WEDDING DRESS AND IT IS OKAY. AND I LOVE IT.
WHY I HAVE NOT BEEN TALKING IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WORRIED AS WHY THE BANK HAVE NOT CONTACTED YOU, BUY I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE WILL CONTACT YOU AFTER THE NORMAL PROCESS OF THE BANK.
SO BE HAPPY AND I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND TO TAKE YOU TO THE ALTAR IN A GOOD COOL ISLAND IN CARIBBEAN.
SO STILL UPDATE ME.

Oooh! The Caribbean! And he'll buy a ring out of his share -- what a MAN!!!!

Good work with your bait -- you turned the tables pretty effectively.

One piece of advice however: you pretty quickly exposed the lad for the lying scum that he is. He sent an obvious sham photo and had other inconsistencies in his scam that were very apparent. You exposed them to his shame and gained the upper hand in doing so.

I would refrain from that in the future as it served to make the lad smarter. While lads are also lazy and he may just re-use that photo and approach later, it's more likely that in the future he will try to be smarter with actual victims so that he doesn't get caught out like he did with you. While it's always tempting to "out" a lad; it's also too easy. And once you do it, he may be more effective the next time he gets an actual victim on the hook.

Anyway, something to consider. Nice bait nonetheless. Thumbs up

Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 2:11 pm

You're very right, we shouldn't educate them. My mentor spoke to me about this too. I tried to put some disclaimers in about the way I handled that wrong... but it's a long thread and it's worth repeating. I won't make that mistake again. I promise!

Also, I will never, never, never reveal any of my characters to be baiters. They will go to the end protesting that they really want to send money to dear Mr or Mrs Whatshisface...

No worries whatsoever, JMRazor! I need all the advice I can get! Besides, I know that I won't be the only one to benefit from the advice, it will help someone else later too if and when they read the post. Thanks. Very Happy

I'm not a straight baiter Very Happy

which doesn't mean I'm gay, but I have baited as being gay. Very Happy

You have to think of what gives you the most sense of fun and pleasure. As it's your first one maybe just running him as long as you can is enough, and is a good aim, but after that it is important for you to keep your interest going to make it go the way that gives you a sense of achievement or plain evil pleasure.

Me ? - I'm an evil pleasure kind of guy and quickly turn any bait into a madhouse as soon as I can. I get good death threats that way. Laughing

When it comes to money love and sex, adding a third party in is very useful and allows many different plot twists. My Russian model has an evil agent who is a Russian gangster who is after her money as much as the Lad - and he wants more than just money, and that appears to appeal to a Lad who becomes emotionally drawn into the drama. It's freakin' hilarious too. Laughing

Lads like their females to be virginal sluts "I am so sorry but the wind is blowing up of my skirt in this foto" sort of thing. The mix of money and lust is irresistable.

What you've done so far is great. As already said calling him on his mistakes is bad, also because it knocks the bait back a few steps as he attempts to regain credibility and it makes him cautious. You're a victim - be stupid (no offence to victims intended) and use other characters to make the bait take the turns you want. A jealous husband who thinks you have an internet lover - a boss who seeks to control you.

Dammit - just have fun. Very Happy

Oh and the death threats aren't because I told the Lads I was baiting them (we don't do that either), I just irritated them somehow. Very Happy

I really want to believe you, Rich darling, it's just that if you were in love with me you would want to contact me more. I gave you my phone number a long time ago and you never called it. Please call, I want to hear your voice!

If you don't want to talk to me, you could at least write me a poem so I feel sure that you love me. How hard is it to send an e-card? It is the thought that counts!!

I understand about the ring. I understood it was a dream but I still wanted to hear more about it. The idea of the Caribbean island is lovely, that is true. I love that idea. Please tell me why you chose it. Have you been there before? Did you go there with your late wife? It is very important that you answer me my love! I will tell you anything you ask, I will do anything you say, but you must not ignore me!!

With love, but still troubled in spirit,
Your Amazon Katra

P.S. Will you PLEASE contact the banker yourself my darling and find out why he won't answer me!!!

I can't do anything to help bring us together if he won't answer me.

I want to be your bride!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. ...BE VERY AFRAID, YOU DUMB S.O.B.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE BANK IN MALAYSIA HAVE CONCLUDED THEIR PROCESS WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THEIR BANKING PROCEDURE FOR DEAD CUSTOMERS. THE DOCUMENTS WHICH BEARS YOUR NAME AS THE NEXT OF KIN HAS PROVED YOU TO BE THE BENEFICIARY. SO EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THE BANKER AND YOU SPEED UP YOUR RESPONSE TO HIM AND COMPLY AS THE OPEN AN ACCOUNT FOR YOU THERE.

3] I HAD MY HONEYMOON IN CAYMAN ISLAND AND I PREFER OUR WEDDING TO BE THERE WHILE WE TRAVEL TO FIJI OR CHRISTMAS ISLAND FOR OUR NONEYMOON.

4] YES I HAVE YOUR NUMBER AND I PREFER WE WRITE VIA MAIL FOR NOW BECAUSE OF MY HEARING PROBLEM WHICH WILL BE OKAY ANYTIME NOW AND WE TALK ON PHONE BEFORE MY ARRIVAL TO MEET YOU AND THAT FIRST DAY OF OUR MEETING WILL BE A MEMORABLE ONE BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE FIRST DAY WE MET EACH OTHER AND STAY TILL THE NEXT DAY. SO PREPARE AS I AM GETTING SET MAKE YOU HAPPY FOREVER AND I KNOW WE SHALL GROW OLD IN AGE SO NOTHING LIKE DEATH AT YOUNG AGE.
I GOT ALL THAT YOU SENT VIA MAIL AND I AM HAPPY AND ALWAYS THINK OF YOU.

THANKS MY LOVELY AMAZON,

MY GOODNESS, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE 'DEATH AT YOUNG AGE'. WITH HIS NO-PHONE EXCUSE HE SOUNDS LIKE A BAITER! HE SENT ME PHONE NUMBERS IN THE BEGINNING. I THINK HE DOESN'T WANT ME TO HEAR SOMETHING OTHER THAN A YUMMY BRITISH ACCENT. BUT I AM SURPRISED HE DIDN'T WANT TO CONFIRM THAT I'M A WOMAN. (WHICH I AM.)

Nice baiting so far, Amazon! How about referencing some other characters and then slowly bringing them in? Dead husband's accountant, a son from his 1st marriage, a family lawyer, crazy(ier) sister, the horny cable guy, you get the idea/the list is endless, just make his life hell and make him do all the work.

I did try to bait a Dying Widow first, but there were only a few short emails exchanged; she didn't really want to play. Richie here is my second attempt, and is the first one that really responded. So I think of it as my first. He IS an entertaining pet. Not very smart. Kind of like a hamster.

He has finally had the "bank" contact me today. I'll get around to it tomorrow... maybe.

I'm used to writing characters, because I'm a writer in RL. And I've read many examples of great baits here and elsewhere. I'm delighted to hear I'm doing all right. I am learning from the masters!
