Hello,

How are you and your family? I hope you are all doing fine. I have been contacting you for the past few months on how to get the your late uncle's estate across to you but I have never heard from you. The good news is that his bank has agreed to release everything in their possession to you once you are able to provide the necessary document.

He has a large amount in his bank account and the bank want you to come forward with some vital documents I will guide you on how to get it done as soon as possible. Please reconfirm the following information listed below to me immediately.

Name
Current Address
Contact numbers
Occupation

The amount they told me is about 15.2 million and it would be released to you within 10 working days according to the director and I working to make sure you receive it with the same period. I await your immediate response.

Regards,

Gerard Elias QC

Gerald,

Thank you so much for your email.

I just can’t believe that my uncle is gone. I still remember the days when we would kick a football around the park and throw bread for the ducks.

Why God?! Why must you take the one’s that we love?!

It is a cruel world that we live in Gerald. A cruel, cold world.

As you can imagine, I am simply too upset to handle my late uncle’s finances at this moment.

Therefore I hereby give you my permission to use the 15.2 million left to me to erect an enormous statue of a duck balancing a football on it’s bill to commemorate my uncle. Preferably in a park.

Regards,

One very upset nephew.

Im my 'pre-419 eater' days I would have responded to scammers like that.

After spending lots of time in the 'eater university' and reading 'eaters greatest hits' Ive realised that baiting is more subtle and far more rewarding than just firing a f@ck off at them.

Haha. I am a new baiter. This is a very rewarding way to waste time. Boring ol' Gerald replied with this same message as before. Gah.

^ Lads rarely bother to read the first replies to their emails, they just stick to sending out their script.

So, short and simple tell me more / I'm interested / Wow, really type replies at first quickly move things along to the next bit; the fun really starts when they are off script.

Welcome to Eater, Hairy Guy. Have fun and bait safe.

Welcome to Eater HairyGuy!! This is a rewarding way to waste the lads time!! Are you emailing Gerald from your personal email? If so it's best to drop him and start anew from an anonymous email with none of your real life or personal details tied to it. You can email Gerald from there as a new character and he won't even blink. Or start over with a new lad. There are many to choose from in the surplus section.

In the meantime, sign up for a mentor, read all the stickies and read the things here:

Bait safe and have fun!!

I thought the same thing! Evil Lol

(is it bad that I clicked the link?)

Welcome to Eater Hairy Guy! Hope you stick around, get a mentor and bait some more. Say goodbye to your old life and welcome to the best community on the net. I have some links in my sig line (none of the baits are mine, but those are some of my favorites) give those a read and see what we do here to pass the time and give lads pain***. Very Happy

Since he didn't apparently notice the DUCK* statue reference the first time, let it go for now. Let things move along... and then mention it later.

Tell the Lad that you've set up a trust to have the statue built. That allows you to bring in another character - the head of the trust, who thinks the money should be sent straight to the trust to minimise the tax bite.

Just when that's sunk in - a grass-roots group objects to the building of a huge phallic symbol in a public park (seems someone misread the proposal and, well...) The trust is under investigation by zealous local government officials and its accounts are frozen, so it's back to square one!

*Just making sure...
