In my experience, there's not that much difference in response rates between old and new emails - old ones will get more bounces, but that is offset by new ones possibly having a lot of mails coming in from their script.

The important things are to grab their attention (use a subject like "ready to pay" or "Re: Payment Details) and also keep it generic, why mention gold, just ask for the payment details to be re-confirmed.

Also many lads are just plain dumb (or don't read replies) - you can dangle a $10,000 payday in front of them, but they'll still carry on with their own script asking for $100.

ETA: Looking at my stats from when I was regularly ASEMing lads, I averaged a bounce rate of about 15%, would get responses from about 25% of the lads mailed and end up with a piggy from about 5 - 10%. I was mailing 200+ lads at a time. So, if you're just emailing a handful, you're not going to see many replies, let alone pigs.

1. Nice job Ben Loding.
2. Nothing to report today. Re-baiting the lines.
3. I use a mix of old and new lads. But, like I mentioned before if everyone sends ASEMs to the same lads, they will begin to get spooked. I use a combination of lads from various catchers, AFF spam from my real life accounts, and old email addresses that have coughed up accounts before (if they could get them then, they can probably get more).

Good point, everyone grabbing the same 20 or 30 lads from surplus and sending them a "ready to pay, send me the bank account" email is going to make the lads suspicious.

Looks like sending ASEMs to addresses from my catcher works better than sending them to addresses from Surplus. I got two pigs today from ASEMs, one who asked "are you send the cash deposits or transfer?", and one who provided a Bitcoin address. I also got a fourth pig (with elephant tusks) from the same lad; unfortunately it is the third account from the same lad with messed-up or missing information, so the transfer will get another error. I reported it despite four characters being missing from the IBAN; hopefully the bank in CI can figure out which ones.

Total so far 11, including bonus points, if the malformatted account is admissible.

Nicely done to both of you!

You're doing fine. Keep herding those pigs along bud.

Three more pigs since last time, and some insults. One lad (whose reply I've posted in the goofy thread) has sent me two accounts with no SWIFT code. He thinks I'm in America. I am, but I could as well be in Canada, Australia, Barbados, or Hong Kong, from what I've told him.

I'm halfway through copying another batch of catcher; when I finish I'll send some more ASEMs. One lad calling himself Tokunbo Abiru has spammed my catcher repeatedly with the same reply-to address.

I think it's safe to say I'm the least successful contestant in this challenge, but I like to believe I deliver a lot of lad pain an embarrassment in other ways. And if not, I'm surely wasting their time.

Linoline, counting pigs is merely a measure of lad pain. You are causing them lots of pain and the pigs are the icing on the cake. It may be a bank account "contest " but competing is the last thing from my mind......it's about a collective effort.
