I asked him for a picture with a sign. It was my seventh or eighth message. he was already off script by the second or third message.

Tell him you are a guyman too and you can work together.

It's normal, everybody does it in this unpersonal era. Have a look here

Hmm, there's your problem.

A lot of lads (most actually) are wise to baiters tricks these days. Pictures are not so easy to come by.

I've gone 50-60 emails in, and the lad still didn't like my request for a photo with a sign. It takes real patience.

The suggestions above are good, but you also need to be a lot more patient. Trophy pictures are hard won, over many months usually, where real trust has been built up, and most importantly, where the lad believes that the trophy is the only single thing seperating him from his big pay day.

Good luck, and build it up!

F4t4n is pretty clued in mate. He's not a sucker like many other lads.

He needs to be baited from a different angle. More patience is required.

Although I can't imagine he's very successful. He has zero patience himself and is begging for money to go to school. He usually asks for payment within 2 emails.

he seems pretty smart...

@Red- I'm liking what Jojobean suggested. maybe if i decided to "come clean" ( Shocked

) and "confess" that I am a guyman. Worst that could happen is that he twigs... If not I'll make up a hushmail and retry. He might actually co-operate though.

we'll see what happens Smile

^^^ Could be worth a shot, I would be careful with it though, he's pretty sharp.

Personally I would just rebait him from another account and then try it on if that one fails too.

Sent him 2 emails a couple days ago, no reply. I just sent one now to see if he'll work with me....

this is a first attempt at lad-speak... maybe we could do a russian connection? Smile

if he twigs... he gets to get re-baited...

do vlads even know what 'guyman' means?

Is this the same f@t@n that was claiming to be a poor student and needed money for tuition? I was baiting him for a bit and had a sudden attack of conscience that maybe he really was a poor student so I dropped him (but not before I'd reported his bank account and he'd completed a 17 page DHS wire transfer security form) For some reason, he made me just a little nervous, so I played it safe and dropped him. A few days later, I examined the ID he'd sent more closely and it was fake (Was a pretty decent photoshop job)

Maybe I'll pick him up again. I told him I couldn't help because of financial trouble at my business, but I had almost $200,000 worth of checks arrive this week Laughing
