If a lad is stupid enough, would it be good to have him buy subscriptions for me, and me promising him payment? Because believe me, I'd love to have somebody buy me a Rapidshare, WoW, maybe Brazzers (NSFW), etc.

Walks veeeery close to cash baiting. I wouldn't.

Fact of the matter is, as soon as you start taking something of value for yourself from the lad, you're no better than they. There's a fine line between what we do and what the lads do, really; both of us like to deceive people via e-mail. We can take the moral high ground because they're out to bilk innocent people of their money, and we're just out to burn them for it.

As soon as our goal becomes getting something for ourselves that has some sort of financial value, we lose that moral high ground.

Also, you'd be committing a federal felony. So that's a pretty big issue as well.

So, I'd avoid doing that. Bait them for the stupid, ridiculous things, but don't try to get money for yourself.

Don't do it! You could get in trouble and this site could get in trouble.

If you need to ask if it's allowed, then it's probably not.

Welcome to Eater jsmos. This is a message from Shiver.

I implore newcomers to scambaiting to never lose sight of the main goal; to waste the scammer's time as much as possible, to mess with their minds, to make them jump through hoops. Of all my most favourite scambaits, not a single one of them involved extracting cash - or even a trophy picture - from the scammer. It is much more satisfying to drive a scammer mentally insane over a period of weeks or months than it is to spend a week or so convincing them to send you a bit of cash.

Your subscriptions may be paid for by a credit card stolen from a innocent third party. Your use of the accounts may put you at risk of prosecution.
