I am baiting one of my favorite lads of all time, mostly because he is so gullible and easy to manipulate. It started off as a loan lad, but problems arose when I sent money through Western Union. He needed to produce security photos, but his dolla kept getting chopped. It happened several times before he told me to do a bank wire, but my character isn't very bright and has managed to screw up time and time again. In short, I have gotten this lad to produce 11 trophy photos, which actually allowed me to make a music video of him holding lyrics to a song on signs. (I'm trying to figure out the best way to post that on here without having to use Youtube). Some of you veterans may remember my "Africa" by Toto scammer music video from a few years ago before I took it off Youtube. ( https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=213458&highlight= )

Anyway, it's sad to say, but after 11 trophy photos from the same lad it actually got quite boring. He just gave them up so easily that they lost their mystique.

So.... I decided to change the bait up. My character (named Kerry) has lost nearly all his life savings to the dolla choppa, but is holding onto the last $500 of his savings. Kerry told the lad that if the $500 was lost without receiving the loan in return, that Kerry would lose his home and be left on the streets to likely die. The lowlife lad still pushed Kerry to send the fee. So Kerry said he would send the last $500. That's where Kerry's wife comes into play. She had been briefly involved in the bait earlier, with the not so bright Kerry often needing help from his more intelligent wife. Now the wife has found out about Kerry having an affair. Kerry's wife has taken to signing onto Kerry's email and contacting the lad about how she plans to file for divorce, but wants Kerry to drain his bank account first as punishment. She is pretending that all is forgiven with Kerry, but really she is going behind his back and helping the dolla choppa get the rest of the money.

I tell you one thing, it is quite humorous to watch my lad flip flop back and forth on his approach. He tried to warn Kerry by saying how evil his wife is. Luckily Kerry's wife told the lad that she is monitoring Kerry's emails, and will delete the lad's snitching email before Kerry reads it. The lad then changed his approach and tried to take the wife's side, offering to proceed with the transfer with her and letting her sneakily take the loan out from under Kerry's feet. Kerry's wife turned down the offer, and the lad has just been confused on what to do ever sense. He even tried the guilt trip road, with the threat of the wife losing the divorce case. He wrote:

Quote:

Hello Mrs Kerry,

Thanks for the confession and one thing you should bear in mind is
that God will not forgive you for the evil you have done and you will
never find peace in the sight of God for this company is a Christian
finance company, well since you have decided to tell me the evil you
have done and you will lose the divorce case with your husband.

I will be expecting your mail.

The last $500 just got chopped. So Kerry is about to lose his home and his wife. I haven't really decided where to go with this bait next, and my lad certainly doesn't seem to know what to do anymore either. Thoughts?

Hm...maybe your character could have found a shelter who is willing to help him out, giving him shelter, starter money, and even a job, but first they need verification from a trustworthy source who can attest that he is simply a victim of hard times and not an addict of any sort. The person attesting this must answer a short questionnaire, and then write out a note.

Gigglesworth:

I like your idea. I am thinking that may need to happen. This lad has been so willing to provide security photos, I bet I can get him to provide some more trophies in the form of writing. We'll see though, as the lad is starting to get frustrated and actually refused to do the last security photo that Kerry asked for.

On a side note, I love this approach of contacting a lad from the same email as two different characters. I know it is a common approach to contact the lad from two separate emails posing as two different characters, but posing as two different characters using the same email account has led to hilarious lad confusion. He just doesn't know what to do. The best part is that whatever he writes, I can either pretend to be Kerry responding or I can be Kerry's wife getting to the email first and respond as her sabotaging the whole deal. I also have the lad convinced that the wife still believes the lad is legit, but doesn't want his loan offer to come to fruition. Poor lad doesn't know how to approach the situation.

If trophies have gotten boring, why not go for a safari? Here's how I would do it: Find a reason to introduce a crooked banker character, and then reveal that the banker is willing to work with the lad on a WIMP style modality. If your lad is really gullible and you play it right, you should be able to send him on safari.

Let me know if you need any help with it.

Big X:

Years ago I tried a handful of lads for a safari but came up empty. I tried using the WIMP model but I forget how it works. I will have to refresh myself on it. If memory serves me correctly I believe Bruin invented it. That may be something to freshen up on again and try to pull off. Good suggestion.

Lads are so heartless. I know it's been proven time and time again but it never ceases to amaze me. My character, Kerry, sent thousands of dollars in the bait described above. The money kept getting chopped and now Kerry is about to lose his home as he now has no money left. Kerry has told my lad multiple times that he is about to lose everything and likely die on the streets. Looking to my lad for guidance my lad responds with:

Quote:

Go and sell something in your house to raise the money or you can as
well look for someone who will can give you the money $2000 so you can
get your loan immediately.

I. Guarantee you that you have nothing to worry about once you have
made the payment you get the loan immediately.

Perhaps we could do both mine AND Big X's idea since the lad is such a scumbag. Kerry could mistakenly tell his aid worker about the deal (after everything has been filled out and Kerry was approved of course). The worker, also being gullible says that he'll talk to the director about having the shelter send the fee so Kerry can get his money.

Cue the director getting involved...as it so happens he is going to a speaking engagement in -insert location that is close enough to travel to but far enough to be a pain in the ass to get to here-, and he would like to speak to the lad about setting up an agreement between his loans company and the shelter to help get people on their feet. Of course the director will be bringing some payment up front so they an just settle the deal then and there...exactly how much are his fees up front? Twisted Evil

I honestly have no idea how WIMP works (I'll get around to reading it!) but perhaps this might work out?

BTW, I'm glad you liked my first idea! Smile
