Hi people,

I've been tagging along eater for a while now, reading what other baiters posted - and now, I finally took the leap of faith (assisted by my dear Mentor Inspector Gadget - but, of course, should there be any mistakes, they are entirely my fault Embarassed

) and started baiting... a lotto lad - because that was the first thing to fly into my catching mail box.

There's a lot of people who should be mentioned here. First of all, Inspector Gadget, my mentor, without whom this bait probably would have been not half as long as it was. Thanks, I hope that I don't embarrass you.
Second on the list, B8er, who took down a lad's domain after I submitted it (Thus ending my bait... but that is OK). It left the lad clueless what went wrong.
Third: All the baiters who published their baits here. I read lots of them, too many names to write here (after all, I don't want to overload this board Smile

).

And now, resisting temptation to still write about who I am, why I bait, what made me bait, how my chickhood (You know, when I was a chick) turned... but I'll leave that out...

So, initial contact of the lad was this (Standard script?):

I know what you're thinking. But 4dolf was a common name in Germany before 1945, and the mugu I made up here is way over 70. I'm by no means a Nazi or racist or whatever, trust me.
So...
OK, I'm embarrassed to say that I must have deleted the email where the lad asked me to contact the courier service. I did, though, and this came back...

So, Eddie, you want the payment made to Guam? I demand explanations.

J0hann wrote:

Dear Mr. R!chards,

I don't quite understand. Should I mail it to Guam? That is expensive and the German Mail forbits sending more than 30 Euros via letter. Plus, it is insecure. I don't have much, I don't want to send money twice just because some criminal stole it.
Also, what is a western union transfer slip... Sounds naughty. Please tell me what that is, I never heard of it before.
Maybe you can just deduct the money from my winnings? I hereby allow that to you, that's no problem. It is easier for both of us, I mean, sending a letter takes time, and that western union thing probably as well.
Please advise, I am clueless.

Mindfdisk. Now it's Nigeria. Would you please, kindly, get your story straight? Anyway, Eddie, don't get used to... swift replies. Anyway, besides being mindfdisked, I also must have eaten something bad, because, I had gotten fever and... well, the other unsatisfactory side effects from bad fish (It actually happens less often to us than you humans might think, penguins are quite healthy because of their diet). Still, though, the lad just couldn't care less.

Hi,

I must have eaten something bad, yesterday, I didn't get anything done but patrolling between my restroom and my bed. By now, my stomach has calmed down, though, at least I feel good enough to read my EMail. I don't know if/when I can leave the house, though, as I don't want to infect half my town.
There's something about your instructions: In one, you want me to send the payment to Guam, in another one, you tell me it's Nigeria. Which one is it? I'll happily send it to either of them - but I have to know which one it is before I have to send it twice...
I'm sorry for asking so much... I just can't remember winning anything ever in my life (I mean look at me. I spent 20 years filling shelves and now, some 25 year old whatsoever takes my post as a branch leader - but that's history soon, anyway, after I got the lottery winnings and open my own supermarket) and now that I finally am in luck, I just don't want to screw it up.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon

J0hann 4. €uler

So, I decided to have Joh4nn share my... fate of stomach problems. Also, I'll add to the look of Joh4nn, being old, unhealthy and unsuccessful (Sorry, it IS that way).

The header with that Humility, Integrity blabla were inside every lad email. I'll spare your eyes of them,though.

You say now - I say 3 days later. I mean, look at me, I'm a penguin! All I do is sit around, eat fish and look cool. I really couldn't care less about a Lad's schedule.

Joh4nn wrote:

Dear Mr. R!chards,

I went to the bank today to make the payment. The bank didn't offer WesternUnion, but the young lady there told me that MoneyGram would be fully compatible to it. I wasn't asked for a security question, though, but you and I are the only people knowing about the transaction, so it should be safe. I attached the confirmation.
Perhaps, before you send my winnings, could you send a photo of the money to me? There have been problems with the customs about sending things to Germany lately (maybe because of Oktoberfest, you know, there's big scare about terrorism this time of the year... I don't know why it affects Cologne, but still...), so it'd be good if I could show the officers proof of what is inside if they ask.

I look forward to hearing from you, soon.

J0hann 4. €uler

Oktoberfest was just over that time. For about two weeks. Lad didn't know, I didn't care. Call it de-education if you mind. Also, I attached a 12 MB DLL file to the e-mail, renamed to PNG. It was an open source library, by the way. Spreading open source software is always a good cause, said a friend of mine. So I do.

And what does the competent lad do, if he cannot open a file? Right: pretend it doesn't exist!

Now... I do know that Germans have a thing for organization and such things. I don't - I have a thing for fish, but that is all. Anyway, if I can slap, why let go of the opportunity (I'm a little sadistic bird, ain't I?).

What?! That file is unreadable? That must have been a trojan horse (or a trojan penguin, but why would anyone do that? It's barbarian)... Sadly, I'm working at Beak&Feathers Internet Security, and this is exactly the kind of callers we deal with, regularly.

Hello Mr. R!chards,

That's very strange, I can read it perfectly here. Maybe your computer is broken or has a virus, better check it, who knows what else that virus caused. I don't want my money to be stolen, so I won't send you any info until you got this checked.
By the way, my daughter is an Informatician, so she surely could help you sort this out. Send me a scanning report (you know, the ones that an antivirus program makes) and send it to me. My daughter can look them through and make sure your computer is clean and no one is hacking this transaction.
And after that's verified, I'll be happy to give you this number.

I actually thought I could push that lad into making up some kind of report (or maybe get one of his own. You know, these scanning reports with all the paths. C:\Users\Lad\Not_Porn. Get the picture?)
Sad, though, I couldn't.

Well, either he is off-script here or I gave him a good scare... He even forgot using the shift key and his email header/footer thing. Funny.
So... time to give him another scare.

Joh4nn wrote:

Dear Mr. R!chards,

I opened the file attached to your email. My antivirus software immediately flagged it and my PC refused to launch it - luckily, I forwarded it to my daughter, she checked it, it was a key logger virus! It seems to be your system is infected with a virus that replicates via email (that's at least what she told me) and you should really clean it before contacting anyone else.
She explained it like this to me: It's a software that allows a hacker to read all that is typed (and possibly also written on screen). While this is the case, I will not send you any information this confidential.
Also, she asked what kind of computer this email comes from - maybe if you could just send this info to me?

Besides, as this is time-taking and you repeatedly tell you don't have much time (and I want my money as well), I propose we use another way to transfer the money. Why don't you take it from the winnings or, if that isn't possible, can't I transfer it via a bank transfer? That's the way I usually pay anything. If I get the parcel, you can keep both of the transfers, the MoneyGram one and the Bank transfer, as a compensation for your inconvenience.

Please, get back to me and tell me what to do. I won't send information as sensitive as this to a computer that is hacked.

Regards

J0hann A. €uler

I know that viruses attaching themselves to emails are SO 90's... but yet, it works to pretend to (of course, there was no file attached to the Lad's email - and I'd rather die than opening ANYTHING a lad sends me).
Still, though, no luck. Probably, this lad hasn't eating anything before, as he didn't sshd his pants.

Dear Mr. R!chards,

are you calling me a liar? You obviously have security issues on this computer, as this email again contains a file as an attachment that was again flagged by my AV software. If you believe this computer is clean, maybe you should have a professional check it.
Anyway, since you don't seem to care about your money's security, I'll happily send you the number, but I have to reassure myself first. My daugther told me that, when confidential information is sent to customers by email in her work, she asks them to get a confirmation. She sent me a copy of this form, it is attached to this email. Print it out, sign it, scan it and send it to me. I will not accept electronic signatures on it. Until I get that signed form, I'll not give you this number.

-- Here, real life struck again, I got sent to another department at work, had to do some overtime, family came over, my tame fish got sick (OK, got me, he got eaten. Tasty, I must admit)... and, I didn't get to bait for a week.
In the meantime, Joh4nn had ran through all of Cologne (big town, hard to miss) in his quest to find a Western Union store. After failing to find one, he just sat down... and had a heart attack. It is unsure if he would survive it. Luck for the lad though, his Lawyer, Mr. G€org Börnem4nn, steps in.

Ge0rg wrote:

Dear Mr. Rich4rds,

I am Barrister G€org Börnem4nn, who is taking care of Mr. €uler's heritage. I am writing you to inform you about the things that have happened since your last e-mail contact with him and, further, to inform you about what is going to happen now.
After your e-mail to Mr. €uler, he rushed through town, looking for a Western Union store. During this, he has suffered a heart attack caused by the stress, dehydration and fatigue. A bystander (who, as Mr. €uler has instructed me, will receive 10 percent of his lottery payout) has given him a CPR and called the ambulance. He is still in critical condition, but out of immediate risk of death. He is already awake though, and he emphasized that he does not consider it your fault. With the help of his daughter, the password of his e-mail account could be recovered and the e-mail exchange between him and you was found.
Now, while Mr. Eu1er is in the hospital, I am taking care of his business, authorized by his daughter according to $ 5 StVO. Also, I inform you that Mr. €ulers heart attack is considered a higher power (according to § 20 Par. 4 GG) and does not permit you or COCA COLA to forfeit his winnings. I was further authorized to spend up to 7.5 % of the expected winnings sum (7,500 US-Dollars) for the delivery to him.
From the e-mail exchanges still saved in his e-mail account, it is not quite clear what exactly he has already sent to you. Please inform me about this and also about any payment which is still required by you.

Regards

Ge0rg Börn€mann
Fachanwalt für Erbanlagen

I'll have to explain some things.
1. § 5 STVO is the law prohibiting drunk-driving. Nearly every German knows the STVO, and those who don't will likely google it.
2. $ 20 Par 4 GG is a section out of the German constitution. It permits every German citizen to resist actively against anyone who endangers democracy and freedom.
3. Fachanwalt für Erbanlagen translates to Lawyer for DNS. Pretty sure there is no such thing.
So basically, this is a bunch of B.S. Also, I tried to make the lad's mouth wet here, dangling a 7.500 $ Carrot in front of his nose (and over a cliff).

Lad wrote:

Dear, J0hann 4dolf €uler,

Good day to you, thanks for your mail, i want to let you know that we are really sorry about his illness, we the Coca-cola company is very very sorry, i think we caused it because we told him to act fast about this transaction because we want to confiscate the winning funds before, but due to what we have just heard, we are really sorry about his illness, we will be praying for him here so that he can get well, and i also prayed that God will deliver him as soon as possible.

Prior to all this, we told him that he will have to come up with the shipping fee before his winning funds will be shipped to his home address, the reason why he will have to make the payment of the shipping fee is because,his winning funds has been file up and protected by the hard cover insurance police whereby we are not allow to deduct any fee from the funds, so since then, we haven't heard from him.

So Barrister G€org Börnem4nn, the fee he has to pay so we can proceed with the shipping is €100 Euro, as soon as he make the payment, his winning funds will be ship to his home address immediately without any delay, we already have his full details about his home address, so we are just waiting for the payment so we can proceed.

I want you to get back to us so we can email you the payment information and also tell you on how to make the payment.

Lad, you feel sorry? You better do! He still doesn't want to use Ge0rge's name, though. Maybe he has grown an affection to "4dolf". Who knows, stranger things have happened. No payment details? Is he dropping his greed?!

Needed to put his mind to ease here, I feel the risk of being dropped grow. Anyway, about here, I noticed the fact he was writing me from a @chr0nopostlogistics.com domain. A .com domain? That must've been costy... Takedown?

But, you're not the only one who can write B.S.:

Dear Mr. R!chards,

as much as I'd like to finalize this transaction as quickly as possible, there is a problem. As a barrister, I am a person of law, and as such, using anonymous transfer services like Western Union or MoneyGram is prohibited to me. This is to prevent corruption - as you will understand, some barristers (not me, but some) might see bribing a judge as a legitimate mean to defend their client - and any anonymous way to transfer money, like using Bitcoin, Western Union, Money Gram, LibertyReserve (when it was up, you may remember it) is prohibited to barristers, especially while working for their client - which I am doing right now - and even when there is no court involved. I am sure you understand that, as a man of law, I would never bend or break the rules.

Please provide another way of payment to finish this transaction as soon as possible.

So, my second attempt to get a piggie. Although I could almost smell the pork, the lad refused. Sadly.

Hey, boy, do you have any idea that trying to intimidate a lawyer isn't a good choice?! And trying to intimidate a penguin ain't one, either. And to prove it, I didn't reply.

The smell of pork went away. Turned out my neighbours were grilling.
Still, lad, I'll be persistently not replying...

Dear, J0hann Ad0lf Eul€r,

Good day to you, I want you to get back to us so we can email you the disclaimer letter so we can end this transaction because we have already return your winning funds back to the coca-cola company.

Mr. Edw4rd R!chards

OK. Now, you will notice how quickly lads can turn around to contradict themselves.

Dear Mr. R!chards,

your behaviour in this matter is inacceptable. I have asked you for an alternate way of payment which you failed to provide - and these threats are your reaction?
Be assured that this incident will be reported to the Coca Cola Company and that I will personally file a case against you if you are attempting any confisication or withdrawal of Mr. €ulers lottery jackpot.
I trust in your interest to further do business with Coca Cola and me, so either you provide a bank account that the funds can be transfered to or I will make sure the Coca Cola Company will find other means to transfer the money to my client.

Now, of course, the lad wouldn't want me to contact Coca Cola and to find out it is all a scam. Fdiskface.

Dear, J0hann 4dolf Eul€r,

Good day to you, Thanks for your mail, this mail is to inform you that the amount you are to pay for the shipping fee is too small to give you an account, we are very strict dealing with our client, This winnings is only registered in Nigeria, this winnings is not register in your country, so we are giving you an option, you will have to make the payment via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER or MONEY GRAM. if you cannot do that, then your winning funds will be confiscated, which you do not want that to happen.

We have tried our possible best to make sure that you get your winning funds, but it seems that you do not need it, so if you cannot make the payment via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER or MONEY GRAM, then consider this winnings cancel and we will email you the disclaimer letter to sign.

Get back to us as soon as you see this mail so we can proceed, we don't have much time.

Mr. Edw4rd R!ch4rds

I won't comment. I fear that, no piggie will walk into my sty. Yet.

Dear Mr. R!chards,

Although I have absolutely no understanding for your company's business policy, please send me the details for the Western Union Transfer. I will pass them on to my client's daughter, so she can make the payment for her father.

I can reassure you, Mrs. €uler jr. will not take a role in this bait, but not being permitted to send the payment myself, I needed to find a way to talk myself out of it.

OK, lad. At this point, after a brief discussion with B8er and some other folks, I put the chr0nopost.com email address to "Fake banks and sites" - and shortly thereafter, it was killed. I should have done that earlier - I know - and the next time I'll run across a fake site, I will submit it the second I see it. Promise.
My bait ended here, although I was happy about it. I probably wouldn't have been able to continue this for much longer - so this kind of end leaves the lad clueless about what happened, me happy for making this happen to a lad and - hopefully - a victim unscammed because the lad was busy with me.
Thank you for reading this. It became lengthy, and being a 2 month straight bait, it actually is (took me almost three hours to type it up).
(What you might want to know is that penguins have the habit of mentally replacing all strong words with UNIX commands. I have no idea why, but it is quite helpful. When I talk to customers on the phone, I can insult them all I want and they don't understand it).
So, as always, I look forward to reading your comments, opinions and suggestions. Quite a wall of text, thanks to all who climb it.

This is a good bait that made me laugh, and its always nice to see a lotto lad been given the run round.

It may be that he'll come back either from a new email address or with a new format. Or if you want to continue try sending an email to the address that asked you to contact the courier complaining that the courier company seems to have disappeared.

If not, I look forward to reading your next bait, this was a good start!

Penguin --

Very good start indeed -- congrats on keeping the donut-heads occupied. And, don't worry about the pics and the piggys -- they'll come with time.

I think my favorite part of the bait was the lad's response:

Quote:

we the Coca-cola company is very very sorry, i think we caused it because we told him to act fast about this transaction

It's so rare for a lad to take responsibility for anything so that's a score in and of itself.
