Here's a few that slightly overlap with some of the others, it just depends how specific you want your species to be. :)

The Highly Competitive - The lad who repetitively asks you if you are in correspondance with other scammers, warns that these outside dealings could jeopardise your fund and finally panics every time another person is mentioned, even if you never mentioned any other lads or scams.

The Self Degrading - The lad who makes racist statements about his own countrymen as evidence that his deal is legitimate and not a scam.

The 'happy-go-lucky' - The lad who completely disregards his script as soon as you ask a question and lets you branch him out into a completely unrelated topic.

Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 3:20 pm

The Crumb (Desperatia tohellicum): Scammer who gives up on getting his big cash wad after several if not hundreds of failed attempts, and begs for the crumbs off the plate.

ThankingArthur, get as specific as you like, any strange trait or behaviour seen from a lad is gold. We're also just happy with submissions on this humble post Smile

, and these are great. It's also nice to get corroboratory links to posts, and quotes for extra 'shits and giggles'.

Cool

Yeah totally agree.
Updated Latin genus names in honour of N.O.R.A's earlier contributions.
Also I posted the wrong quote .. silly me, makes much more sense now.

Posted: Thu May 06, 2010 8:21 pm

Oh thank you, Wowwow, I feel flattered. It's a pity I've forgotten most what I learned when I studied at an old European university, including Latin. And it wasn't long ago. Confused

I just read the list once again. It is hilarious. Laughing

Nice work! Very Happy

Posted: Thu May 06, 2010 9:16 pm

You are welcome N.O.R.A.

The Oops (Accidentia tohellicum): Lad who you accidentally give real life information to, such as your cellphone number. Drop them immediately, or if involved in a long running bait, make out you've just had a freak riding accident, broken your neck and are completely paralyzed from the waist down. Then change your name, leave the country and never come back (phew)

The Dialer - Will call you every time he sends an email and multiple times between each one, just to give regular updates. Eager to fill K7 inboxes and leave you with dozens of missed calls while your computer sleeps. May or may not leave voicemail messages.

With it's voicemail subgroups:
The Shy Dialer - Will wait out your voicemail recording and hang up as soon as (s)he hears the "beep", resulting in multiple blank voicemail recordings.

The Verbose Dialer - Will still leave dozens of missed calls in the space of a couple hours, but each one will have a personalised voicemail message for you. Very Happy

The Phisherman (Pisces Dulli): Very common lad who sends out Phishing e-mail, looking to hook bank account and other personal details.

Posted: Sat May 08, 2010 9:28 am

The Melonhead (Crashus masacosii): Likes to race in soap box derbys wearing large items of fruit as crash helmets. Thanks NurseNasty Smile

I've also decided on an entirely new genus after browsing the galleries for the 100th time and almost shitting myself with laughter.

The Photogenic Genus (Lat: Galleriicum): Lad/ladette who sends photographs on request. Utterly shameless and happy to accomodate such embarassing poses that would even make a centrefold model blush.
Often found sporting costumes. Closely related to the masochist but unfortunately without the pain, but hopefully with the hurt feelings.

The Super-Zero a.k.a Ladman (Comicicum galleriicum): Lad/ladette who likes to pose in a herolike stance for pictures whilst sporting pink body paint, red underwear outside of their trousers, and an old plastic bucket with no eye holes on their head.

The "Want fries with that bait" (Burgeria galleriicum): Lad/ladette who poses for fake commercials holding a tray of cold burgers.

The Nudist (Nulclothia galleriicum): Lad who happily poses nude, often with partner, also nude. Often has trouble achieving a full erection.

The Frankenstein (Monsteria galleriicum): Lad who sends photographs of his body but someone elses out of proportion head or vice-vera.

The Thumbnail (Miniaturia galleriicum): Lad who sends in such small photographs that it is almsot impossible to make out what the photo is supposed to be of.

The Clubman (Teamus galleriicum): Lad who poses with all his relatives and neighbours in football strips made out of any clothing item of the same color they could get hold of.

The Doppelganger (Notmii galleriicum): Very common photogenic lad who sends in photos of someone else, usually cut from a magazine or found on the Internet. The similarity between themselves and the photo = 0.

The Uglad (Quasimodii galleriicum): Facially challenged scammer whos photograph causes projectile vomiting.

The Babe (Babus galleriicum): Lad who sends in photographs of beautiful girls. Don't get your hopes up lads.

The Cult (Religius galleriicum): Lad who sends photographs of themselves and their families taking part in religious activities. Often sporting white robes covered in egg yolk.

The Best Dressed (Theadbarus galleriicum): Lad who poses in his best suit, so cheap and nasty that even Asda (Wallmart) have rejected it from their summer line.

The Signwriter (Scrawlia galleriicum): Lad who sends photos with baiter requested lewd or comical messages scrawled on an A4 piece of paper**

** Often the piece of paper is completely blank showing their lack of potential to even be a species in this post Smile
