I keep persuading the scammers to send me their bank account details for direct transfer of money, but now have no idea what to do with them. Do i send all the emails to the bak in question or some authority so they can shut them down and inconvenience them more?

Contact a Mod, the people with the green name

send them the details, including the original email to show it is a scam

wait a few days, or not, consider contacting a Mod as success,

add a pig to your sig line

Irish has covered the bank account reporting, but a few other things for you to read.

A read of this thread would be a good start as it has all the rules and FAQs in it - http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=237673

Then you can read about the mentor program here http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=250146 and sign up here http://forum.419eater.com/forum/cherrie_mentor_program.php

Finally, one of the big things we preach here is safe baiting - making sure your baiting is totally detached from your real life details - if your username here is your real name, it would be a good idea to PM a Mod with a new (more anonymous) one to change it to.

It's not a good idea (but some baiters do it) to use one of your baiter character names as your username on Eater.

The report of a bank account is in this format:

Quote:

ACCOUNT HOLDER NAME:
BANK NAME:
ADDRESS:
BANK SWIFT CODE:
ACCOUNT NUMBER:
ROUTING NUMBER:
IBAN CODE OF THE BANK:

followed by emails. This is from the days when we were sending accounts to Alan.

^^^ No need for e-mails although it's best to keep them just in case

This is the preferred format for reporting

Quote:

ACCOUNT HOLDER NAME:
BANK NAME:
ADDRESS:
BANK SWIFT CODE:
ACCOUNT NUMBER:
ROUTING NUMBER:
IBAN CODE OF THE BANK:
Scammer Posing as "Lad Name" - [email protected]
Type of Scam. IE Next of Kin Scam
