I haven't done love baiting before. This email arrived to an address that gets plenty of spam. Is this just another spam trying to drum up business for a Russian bride site, or is it a scam I can bait? The link doesn't bring me to any individual's profile but to the home page that shows 8 hotties of the day. My uneducated opinion is it's just spam and I should ignore it.

Hi sugar

I have not heard from you for ages!
Are you forgotten about me? Hope not!
How are you?

I am still single.. all of my friends are hanging out with their boyfriends and I am alone ;-(
Though we might get to know each other better and perhaps this Spring will be the last lonely spring for us?

I have registered my profile at http://onlinerussianbrides.cn/?idAff=67 - why don’t you come and see my new photos? And perhaps even email me..

Will be waiting…

Looks like spam to me too,

If you are after a new love of the scum sucking scammer variety put together a profile, no pic or ugly person, no profile or mention all your worst habbits and you should soon be inundated with new love interests that dont want you for love.

Or you could go through the romance section and pick out a few email addresses

Just delete it, It's total Spam. They want you to sign up.

Not a chance in hell of baiting it. If you respond you will be sent the same crap over and over.

I tried every angle on this one. It's a dead end.

If they give you an email address to reply to, it's usually a scam. If they give you a web address, it's usually a spam. Mentioning pictures is usually a good sign it's spam too.

It is spam...and rubbish spam at that as the link no longer works.

Good to be back fellas!

I was wondering if there is a list of dating sites for adding characters for love-lad baits? I'm really struggling to get any of these guys on the hook!
Cheers

We often avoid puting the name of dating sites up so I will send you a PM with details of our favourite one. PL. It has been enough to keep a nice steady stream of vlads coming in for me, it is alledged to have heaps of lads for your amusment as well.

Edited to add;

Needless to see google have a huge list of dating sites that scammers frequent, take a look Here

Taking a quick look through the list there are a few on the first page that are favourites

Ta muchly! Love-baits look like fun! I've only ever done straight baits before, so it'll be an education...
