Hey you
I see you there, just lurking or wondering if nonsense like baiting works.
The Economist, while not talking about baiting per se, had this interesting quote
[Cormac Herley/ Microsoft Research ]
"He argues that scammers are rational actors. A big cost for them is the time they spend coaxing fully into their net those who show initial interest. So they need to select the most promising targets, rather than timewasters or the wary. “By sending an e-mail that repels all but the most gullible, the scammer gets the most promising marks [victims] to self-select,” he says. But the absurd stories and rum prose are not necessarily works of art. Scammers may simply reuse the e-mails that work best."
(Blatancy and latency, Why internet scams seem so obvious, Jun 30th 2012 )
http://www.economist.com/node/21557726?fsrc=scn/gp/wl/ar/blatancyandlatency
so baiting in all it forms, Strait baiting, warning, site killing is effective. |

| One implication of Mr Herley's work is that a little bit of public-spirited scam-baiting—wasting the fraudsters' time by pretending to be a potential victim—can increase the scammers' costs and undermine their business model. For those with some time to spare, joining a cyber-posse may offer an amusing way to make the world a safer place. |
I like that term much better than being called a vigilante.  |

mis-read that as cyber-pussy and though you'd been looking in SOOI's private closet again. |

My boss wonders why I'm typing so much and switching tabs, it's because I found a faker and am running down a site, looking for a frame and/or separate content. I've another window open writing a report.
It is not a pursuit for the lazy.  |

I've Learned how to dictate and type responses. Multi-tasking, as it were. I really like "cyber posse" . Way cooler than "baiters". |

Cyber-posse is another one to add to the list. Baiters have also been referred to in th media as:
Cyberspace Cowboys
Click-mob
Cyber-warriors
Online Vigilantes
Online Good Samaritans
I like the first on the list best myself it sounds kinda sexy. The last one on the list is the least sexy IMO. |
