From the JB Strabisimus Autobaiter, I sometimes get interesting replies which I set aside for hand baiting.

I got the email below as the first reply from a lad from my catcher account. Is it possible that he really wants a meeting (i.e. ransom/kidnap scheme) on his first email? Is this a possibility for a safari? My character lives in Ghana, but of course I personally do not. I am baiting safely.

Dear Character,
Thanks so much for your response and in my anticipation of a long term business relationship with you. My clients are still serving as government officers and based on sensitivity of their position they hold in the society and the unstable investment environment of their country, they want to evacuate majority of the funds into more stable economies and developed nations where they can get good yield for their money.
Do you have any Knowledge of business interest in the following sectors: Banking, Real Estate, Stock speculation, Film Industries, Mining, Oil, Transportation and Tobacco, please write me for possible business co-operation.
I think the first step is to have a meeting to discuss this matter and then sign a contract agreement that protects our interest.

Have a nice day.

Regards,

KB Lad

I seriously doubt that the lad is willing to travel to meet someone he hasn't talked to yet. I would bet that this is just a way to add to his legitimacy.

But only the lad knows for sure. Respond that you would like to meet him and see what happens.

Many lads will say they want to meet in the hope you say you can't get there. They'll then move on to you paying their travelling expenses or hiring of a legal representative to do the deal for you. Either way they'll want money.

This is almost always a way for the lad to introduce his barrister character: "Oh, you can't travel to Nigeria? Well then you should hire our accredited barrister to act on your behalf", etc.

You have to remember that lads are lazy. They're not going to travel unless they are confident that it will pay off for them. For this reason, it is difficult to get even fully hooked lads to travel.

^^ And that is mostly because they can't afford to travel anywere.

As said before, this is just a script and there is no reason to think that the lad is willing to travel. But on the other side, there is no reason to think that the lad wont, and his script is promising.

Since he wants to check out the investment possibilities in a "stable economy", then it is kind of built into his script that he needs to travel to you. He can't very well check that out with you in Nigeria can he. I would dangle a ridiculous amount of money in front of him and tell him that he (or his representative which is more likely) can travel to you. After all, you know the ins and outs of your country better than him. So have him send a lad from Africa to your place (which can be anywhere where there are lads close by, but not too close).

Obviously he is not going to send his rep from Africa but he will instead find someone close by. In this way you can get his rep to travel to Plymouth for example from London. All you need to do is to have him find someone in London that he claims travelled from Africa and then get in contact with him and ping his location to London (or wherever) and then send him on his merry way.

Or you can have your own rep, (un)conveniently located in his neighbouring country. Then all he need to do is to travel there to get his cash. Both things are doable with the right modality. And your lad already have a need to travel built into his script.

But first thing to do is to hook him thoroughly, and that will take some effort, there is no way around that.
