Is there a certain threshold of pissed off the lad's have to get before trying to get revenge?

Are there different levels of retaliation, from hate mail to actual attempts to find out your identity?

If you just waste their time with inane emails, they should be fairly used to that, no?

But I'm sure if you send them on a safari, that could really wrankle some feathers!

Just wondering

Of course each lad is an individual, you can never tell what each one's breaking point will be. I guess it depends on his personality, history, previous baits, contacts, private life etc.

Hate mail, death threats and voodoo curses are all part of the deal... if you don't get these after a few months of baiting then you're doing something wrong Very Happy

They are pretty much unlikely to try to track you down, partly because they usually lack the skills, but mostly because there's no cash in it for them. But its possible the odd one would attempt it, so we always bait safe.

Read my siggy (and those of lots of other people on here), feel the love.

Nothing like wasting their time and cash to put them in a good mood, I'm sure most are empty threats, but I wouldn't like to test this theory by giving away personal info, I can think of a couple who'd love to find me (even if they can't do me over in person, they will probably know a man who can, for a small consideration via WU, of course)

That's rather like asking "So, how much taunting will a polar bear take before it rips you to shreds and eats you?"

No way of telling. A well fed one in a zoo might not ever bother. A hungry one in the wild who hasn't seen a seal in a fortnight might be a bit quicker on the trigger. Remember that you have no way of knowing how tech-savvy the lad is, what connections he has, where he has friends, or when you might make a mistake, much less what his individual tolerance for fun and games is, so bait safe.

I am an incredibly straight baiter. I don't tell them they've been baited, I twig it's a scam and refuse to pay. Which a real victim could do. Upon my twiggage, one lad sent me the most aggressive email I've ever seen, where, among other things, he promised to hunt me down and rape me to death. Lovely. Even if it was just empty threats, it was still a bit chilling. After all, there have been confirmed lads and lad-friends in a state that's not a terribly long drive away from me. He was definitely not the "Oh, just part of the game, no harm done, ya got me, good one!" sort about it.

He never knew I was deliberately wasting his time, yet that was his reaction to my calling him a scammer, which was, frankly, the truth. Because he did not have my IP, real name, real state, a traceable email address, or any other way of finding the real me, of course I wasn't worried. In that case, it was just talk. Don't make a mistake that could allow the lad to make it more than just talk. If you do, burn that bridge posthaste. Politely and promptly.

A baiter on this board had a lad who was smart enough to track down the fax number the baiter used to their place of employment and show up there, asking for the baiting character. He wasn't alone, either, he brought two (I believe it was) big, burly friends. I don't think he was there to discuss the weather.

I had one "smart" lad once. He even searched the Internet for my person... Theodor Robert Bundy Laughing

I guess he got many hits Twisted Evil

This is probably my most angy mugu to date, but made no attempt to track me down AFAIK:

Really great stuff Laughing

Wow! That's good stuff I can only aspire to.

One angry mugu! and so chatty!

EPH:
I believe that a lot of that has to do with the following factors:
1) How much you have cost him. (time, documents, fake checks, etc...they pay for those)
2) If he has confederates in your country.
3) What his normal violence level is to start with.

Unless they are working in a gang where they have confederates in your country, it is neigh well impossible for them to attempt to wreak their vengence upon you. All they can do is gnash their teeth in their internet cafe and send threats...and hope that the threats will scare you enough to pay. A good example of this is the thread of Jason's mugu lawyer threatening to sue... and the numerous voodoo threats... all those particular lads have is bluster.
The check lads, on the other hand, normally do have people who can travel to you. This is why security and safe baiting is so important. It is another reason why we don't involve innocent 3rd parties. An outraged lad who has invested a lot of his time and hard-stolen money trying for the big payday from you could hurt a lot of people in some case of mistaken identity.

Classic. What ever happened to those guys?

Of course he tracked you down, You're in Scotland, you just don't know it.

I've got to get me a sim card so I can talk to my lads, Shiver that was so funny it brought a tear to my eyes!

Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:52 pm

Talking to lads is always fun. Pity I cannot record my lads. Some of them are really quite amusing. Specially when you get them annoyed.

Also, read my sig.

Unless you were across the street, I doubt most lads would put out the effort for any real tracking. It takes time away from their "job" of scamming.

I like what some said, "it all depnds upon the lad." Lad with easy access to you will most likely put a bounty on your head. These are the lads with friends or other gang members near your 'address'. Same lads snap easily, while others take alot more abuse. I guess Lads who lost money are the ones that put up bounty.

As long as you bait safe, you have nothing to worry about. My lad can google search my address and baiting name... but he will never find me. Very Happy

It leads him to a house number that never existed the only option is to knock on every house on a particular street. There are over 1000 homes on that street. And I'm no where near that city. Good luck mr. lad.

on the pissed off mugu scale, he's hitting 9.5

Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 11:50 pm

If I use an email account with a fake name is it possible for my lad to track me? I don't really know much about internet tracking, but isn't there a way to do this? Granted, my lad probably doesn't know enough to do this, but still... better safe than sorry.

Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2006 12:10 am

Shiver That's comedy gold!!! Do you still keep in contact with those gentlemen? Very Happy

@aliengurl_2006

If you are using something like hotmail, yahoo, etc, or using outlook express, then they can backtrack your IP, at least to your city and provider. That is why gmail and Fastmail is so popular here, since it strips the headers off your email.

A really tech savvy person could track you right to your door, but if they are that good, they are not sending out spamscam.

How on earth did I miss that one! Laughing

I could swear that when Shiver finally gets him to shut up and listen, he replies to "Where are you going to come to kill me?" with "I know where you livin', we follow you off of the bus one of these days" Very Happy

Dang, it's not fair to make a grown man cry Shiver, even if it is with laughter...!

Care to share his email address. Sounds like he has a low pain threshold, exactly my type of lad.
