I have been reading a few threads about 'freight baits', and they seem to be frowned upon. Can someone explain to me what this actually is... does this include actually sending goods, or providing a promise only of shipping goods.
I'm cooking up a multi-lad bait where I would create a car dealership in West Africa with surplus models (I'm cooking it up in my head only at this stage). And I have considered 'shipping' a dozen vehicles over, thus triggering a giant cross-border safari. Is this considered a fright bait, despite there really not being any goods? |

Freight baiting involves actually shipping something to the lad.
It is frowned upon because the shipping that the lad pays for will be done with a stolen credit card or account.
What you are doing involves no goods, so there is no problem. |

Plenty of good baits involve nonexistent parcels (and so do many effective scams). Fake tracking services are a nice convincer too  |

Yep, I just found Rev's AfricARSE shipping company. He's developed some great stuff, and I can already see the potential in his freight company, as lads can watch the parcel go everywhere but it's intended destination.
Back on the freight bait - I don't know why anyone would waste their own money, even to ship rocks, it's still a few bucks. Time I have plenty to give against these guys. But money? Screw that. |

One bait I remember, involved a washing machine filled with concrete..
Seemed amusing at the time, but if the lad pays with/uses a stolen CC, who wins?
Creating a scenario that results in a safari seems a good bet.. |
