I was wondering if any of you have ever had an impressively long bait for a small amount of money. How did you do that Twisted Evil

I don't know about others but I have had one for more than a year now that has dwindled to her trying to get me to mail a $100 check to s/him. Hana and Jen has had many ups and downs. Most of those were bank accounts dwindling and now money amounts. He just wants something he can wrap his greedy mitts around.

One of my first baits was a Senegalese orphan/love lad. It lasted for a few months, the end of which "she" was trying to get me to send something like $47 for shampoo. If I remember correctly, it evolved from large fees to help with a inheritance that I couldn't pay to her "suffering here" and needing money for basic supplies.

I wouldn't say I have had any impressively long baits in this area but the ones who start by asking for something as low as, say, $50 in the first Email can sometimes be kept on the hook for a relatively long time considering the amount at stake. I kept one lad going for at least a month over the matter of $67.

A good way of trying to drag these initial small amount lads out is by saying you have been banned from WU/MG and so can only pay by bank transfer. If they get on board they usually state they will pay the initial fee for you and then try to get you to send a larger sum for some bigger fee by bank transfer.

Remember, the small fee they ask from you at first is just to test you as lads believe that once a victim pays once they will carry on paying. The trick is to make yourself look as gullible as possible and get them to bypass the smaller amount and get them to the larger amounts that they will be more likely to jump through bigger hoops to get at. I find telling them you were scammed in the past for a very large sum of money works wonders in this direction.
