When a lad gives away a phone number does anyone publish it here so others can SPAM his phone?

Well, on one hand “lad pain”, except that he’s only going to switch sim cards. The problem there, is that we lose touch with the known numbers, and he’s going to know that the original card has been rumbled as belonging to a scammer.

“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”

I recently picked up a scammers email from surplus, only to find the account already closed – this is fine for the scammer, as he can easily work from another account, but for me, not so much as I lost sight of him

Opinions will be divided on this, and I can respect that – but if all it means is getting another sim card, then the damage to the scammer is negligible. If we put in a flag to “scam warners” for instance, then shut those details down, we achieve nothing

Now, that doesn’t stop you from introducing him to “Lenny”

“Never burn a bait” is the only advice I can give you, and as frustrating as that is to the baiter, the lad will be even more confused over what just happened over the course of your conversations with him

Keep calm, and carry on ……

Thanks for the reply. I think I am reaching the end of this Lad's patience with the Money Gram security form. It may be time for Mr. Gomer to chop his dolla and see if that motivates him. I should mention that this lad appears to be in TX so I'm not sure he will understand igbo.

The subject of spamming lad's phones has been discussed recently - https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=297589 so rather than going over old ground, I'll just link to the previous topic.

What makes you think that he's in TX?

A somewhat disappointing response – but then I didn’t have any delusions on this place being a democracy. B8er, this in no way reflects on you, your responses to the quoted thread stand for themselves …..

^^^Perhaps I'm a bit confused as B8er's advice in that thread mirrored yours.

I'm also curious about the Texas bit.

It depends on the lad, and the reason why you're doing it. I have run lad phone numbers through my lad phone chain before, getting hundreds of other lads to call them.

But it was always to serve a purpose in a bait, such as giving me an excuse for why my character couldn't call the lad. (I would claim that his phone was busy or off, or that he cursed and hung up on me, when actually I hadn't called). Or a couple times I did it to raise a lad's blood pressure with useless calls while he was on safari. Either way, they were generally very hooked lads, who were not likely to drop me or change phone numbers because they wanted me to still be able to call.

I wouldn't do it just for random lads who send me their numbers, for the reason that B8er mentioned.

I want to know about the TX connection. I lived there until recently.

If he really is in TX get with a mod. Could be a mule that doesn't realize its a scam.

Of course this is just standard advice without knowing details.
