I got this email in my catcher account today - my first! It looks fishy enough to me, but I wanted to make sure that this was a valid target for baiting before I started.

Standard money laundering / mule recruitment.

Because this one deals in wire transfer instead of fake check, it might be a bit difficult to bait, as you obviously can't give him real account information, but this type is certainly fair game for baiting if you can get him hooked.

I would say, this is a lad searching for a mule.

be careful

Ok - I'm using gmail, so I've gotten my IP stripped. What's the best way to proceed with this type of bait?

depends on what he wants (never baited this type of lad)

If he supplys you with credit card numbers, forward them to the moderators
If he want's you to make an account, and forward the money via western union, there might be other people here to help you.
you could ask him to explain every detail to you (one question per email).

maybe this could lead to an interesting dollarchop.

What is a dollachop?

A dollar chop is an event in which a payment destined for a lad is intercepted by someone else. The payment may be real and the interceptor another lad, or the payment may be imaginary and the interceptor a fake lad played by the baiter. It has become traditional to name the chopping character Gоmеr.

Ok, so this is the response I sent.

Mr. Burns,

I'm a poor old man, and have no one to watch out for me anymore, since my lovely cat died two years ago. Thank you so much for your generous job offer. I would love to accept this.
I have one question, though. Will the payment be in U.S. dollars, or Malaysia?

Blessings,

P. Oors App

Any other advice?

Bad news, you can't give him a real acount traceable to you, or some victim/baiter will report it to Allen for closure.

Also bad news because they will give you the bank account of a Malaysian national who may also be a victim!

As Morgaine said get yourself a mentor!
