I've occasionally had lads give out accounts for $100 or $150, but today I've got one who has hit a new low, he's handed over an account for 58€ Shocked

Wow -- my currency converter says that's about $72.50 USD. Most of my lads won't give out bank info for less than $1000 or so. One of my current lads is trying to get me to pay his attorney fees (or some such nonsense) of $500 and the lawyer lad keeps telling me that it is too small for a bank transfer. I'm holding strong in refusing to use WU/MG so we've kind of been at a stalemate for a couple of months but at least we're still trading emails...

if u happen to be in such stalemate where you're not even trading emails, do you normally just drop the bait, try to work a new angle or just give in to the lad's request but obviously create problems with the WU/MG instead ??

There are a couple of different ways I like to try to induce a lad to re-take the bait, based upon my character's personality:
1) Imply he's not a good businessman (you told me to be serious about this deal and I've done all this stuff for you so why aren't you being serious about this deal, blah blah blah).
2) Apologize profusely (I really wanted to make this deal work but all of these problems came up with my family and at work and even though I couldn't give this deal the attention it required now I'm ready and I hope you'll give me another chance, blah blah blah).
3) Something occurred that causes me to really need the money and now I'll move heaven and earth to bring this deal to completion, blah blah blah.
4) If it's a fun lad who won't respond to you, just create a new email addy/character and start a new bait with him.

Hmmm, this could maybe be subject of a new competition: who gets a lad to give account data for the lowest "prize"?

I have a lad that I am chatting with now. I told "her" I do not do WU and if she wants her $10 -ha! she needs to give me bank info. Let's see what happens...

^^^ I can't believe a lad is even trying to scam you for 10 dollars. I could make more money selling pencils on a street corner.

Even on a street corner in Nigeria?

you'd have to sell more pencils but probably, yes.
