So I just got my first ever catch (yay)

and I was a bit hesitant about this whole thing...but this is just disgusting:

Quote:

Dear James C. Hook,
I thank the Lord for people such as yourself. I would consider it a
privilege to help you do the Lord's work in this world. Sorry if my
ailing condition irritates you but I wish you will be praying for my
health and my wish of blessing others in real need.The good Lord
blessed me with a good wife , bless her soul.For me a long and happy
life with her I hope. And now to do his good works here on earth for
him. I'd say it may have come late in my life,but I've heard, it's
never too late. Just getting started sometimes is the hardest. Words
to action, action to reality. I am a God fearing man , a Christian.
It's funny because I've been asking myself and God for 2 or 3 years
now. About some special thing that the Lord may have me do for him.
His works here on earth for the good of his children and their
salvation. Rules, disclose and transparency not a problem for me.
Helping the elderly, Widows, Abused kids.
The Disabled. I think the Lord would be well pleased in such
actions from men and women like you and me for his cause. I will also pray
for you and for your dream. For the chance to participate in this task,
I will pray also. To the Lord Jesus. To the God of Abraham, Moses and
James ( Jesus' half brother.)
I will have to process the deed of will in your name and i will
forward you a copy when I'm successful by way of email attachment. I want to
try to hurry things up for you to have them because i do not know
how long i would live. Respond as soon as you can. I am starting to be
filled with joy for God putting you on my way at the very right time
that i need someone like you who is strong in faith to touch other
peoples' lives. I look at you as a profile of courage and I thank
God
that he made it possible to achieve this dream.
I will forward your information to the diplomatic office to deliver
the funds to you cash under the diplomatic immunity. all you will
have to do is to meet the diplomat at your airport to receive the funds.
I need your full name, mailing house address and telephone number to
contact you.
Last but not the least, kindly send me your picture, i wish i would be opportune to meet you
in person. this is for the purpose of enhancing God's kingdom and
not
for ungodly purpose. I will wait to hear from you with your
picture,
not an imposition.
Thanks & God
Bless,
Kevin Thompson.

REALLY? Writing about someone dying and writing off their last will and testament to a stranger overseas? These mofos are disgusting...

Welcome!

Stick around, it gets worse; the depths of their depravity are mind boggling and enraging.

So funny, welcome to the real world mintifresh, you aint seen nothing yet. You will get over your revulsion for lads after baiting a few of them. You will learn to understand them, even to have soft spot for them (in the garden so you can bury them more easily ) Wink

You've also found a new species:

The Boy Scout (Dibdibdobus tohellicum): Lad who claims to be always helping the elderly, widows, abused kids and the disabled.

haha, soft spot...nice.

Btw, what does the little pig icon in people's sigs mean? And the flags?

Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 5:50 pm

There is a sticky here in the main forum, titled 'sig icons explained'. It explains sig icons.
Piggies are for reported bank accounts. In the help forum is a sticky titled 'reporting bank accounts to alan'. It explains how to report bank accounts.

ETA: Oh, and welcome to the nuthouse. Make sure you bait safe and have fun!

Welcome to Eater Mintifresh Very Happy

After translating his strangely-worded script there, seems like another charity donation lad.
That's actually quite a common one. Over half the ones in my catcher account are variations on this.
Basically laddo is pretending to be dying of some terminal illness, and in a sudden moment of spiritual inspiration decides to give their vast riches away to charity.
Oddly enough, even though the lad is always claiming to be at death's door, slowly slipping away, they always seem to be able to cling onto life long enough and retain enough mental capacity to figure out ways around whatever delays you're putting in their way. Must be some amazing doctors out there Rolling Eyes

Just don't hold back on him. These guys deserve to suffer! Wink

Have fun!

Or to put it another way
you found an example of

Interuptus Boringus - Baiter who interrupts every thread with their own pet theme. Closely related to Allaboutmeus...

Quick question, from your personal experiences how long on average does it take a scammer to reply? I just want to know when I should be expecting an email and when it's safe to assume he's dropped me.

Also, if he doesn't respond, should I send him an email and slap him or ask what's wrong? Is that playing too much into their hands?

Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2010 4:23 pm

It varies. One of my Lads, if he is online (and mostly he is), will write back within minutes. Another one can take six days over replying, even when he wants to say something important like, 'Please send me the MTCN.'

Normal Lad routines can also be disrupted, just like anybody else's: illness, child's illness, Granny comes to visit, football on TV. As well as no spare money for the internet café.

What to do, though? What would your character do? If your character is expecting some money to benefit themselves, then they would probably write a worried 'Where are you?' email. If they were helping someone else, or making a donation, they might write an 'Are you no longer interested in receiving my help?' email.

If, however, you think the Lad's absence might be due to a previous error/rant/obstruction on your part, then a 'Thank you for passing my email address to Barrister Johnson, I'm sending the money to him on Monday' email just might work wonders.

Don't be suprised if things slow down in Lad-land over the next few weeks and any lad you're communicating with takes time to get back to you.

It's the Football World Cup and most lads are soccer fanatics. They'll be watching the games and amusing themselves with all the crap that comes with it.

Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 2:00 pm

The Football World Cup is NO excuse for a lad to be slacking off from keeping us all highly entertained Mad

Next they'll be wanting to taking time off to watch the Melbourne Cup (on the first Tuesday in November) and the AFL Grand Final.

The cavey now hops off its soapbox and goes back into hibernation again.
