What about lads like Cheng Lee, who is Chinese, lives in China, runs a business in China and who, when I reply in Chinese (using some spam I got), whines "Write in English!"? Confused

I haven't been on this thread in a while, but here are two I thought of:

The Tacit Murderer: Encourages you to give him money that you need for your daughter's chemo, on the promise that it will be refunded in time for her to recover. Doesn't seem phased by the idea that she might die as a result of his scam.

The Take-It-Slowly: Refuses your offer of vast sums of money and insists you start with his small hundred-dollar fee to begin with.

Welcome back choppa.
The post is still going strong.

The Tacit Murderer (Murderbyproxyus choppaofdollaicum) Lad who encourages you to give him money that you have told him you need for your daughter's chemotherapy, on the promise that it will be refunded in time for her to recover. Doesn't seem phased by the idea that she might die as a result of his scam.

Good find, I've come across one of these lads before but for some reason he never made it into the list.

The Take-it-slowly we do have.
I've really got to get updating the html page and work on the book.

The Image Whore (Giffus tohellicum) Lad who thinks that sending you a bunch of official law enforcement images he sourced from google will help support his lame scam attempt.

^^ That reminds me of one I didn't see on the master list:

The Shapeshifter- Identifies himself with a series of photos that are clearly images of different people.[/i][/b]

insults and more · Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 6:58 am

The Self-Dollarchopper: somehow manages to foul up the Wuxfer on his own by providing completely different payment information than he has been ALL CAPS screaming at you for the entire bait, even immediately after frantically restating that information following your own dollachop.

Choppa unfortunately we have

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.

Unless you mean he sends in images of several different people claiming that they are all pictures of himself .. now that could go in the list
Can you post the pics?

Ok, after digging around in a bunch of old baits, I finally found the guy.

Photo 1:

This, as many people will recognise, is Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa

Photo 2:

This guy is the former Nigerian president, Sani Abacha. I'm sure plenty of baiters have seen him before.

As I was a bit of a newb at the time of that bait, I did the whole "I know you're a scammer thing" at the end. He still refused to acknowledge that he was anything but genuine. Laughing
