Hello baiters,

just got ready to bait some of these scumbags. I have various accounts set up with googlemail, inbox, gawab just to mention a few. Originally i am from germany (so please excuse my bad english) and stumbled across your site while surfing some sites related to spam. I decided to give this kind of hobby a go.

Currently my character is baiting some lad trying to do a victim rescam ( i hoope i described it right). So on with the show

Lad contacts me with this mail:

my answer, trying to get it doubled and adding a romance branch here, i although add a little adventure touch. My Character pretends to have a military background

Quote:

Hello Robert Scott Dewar,

how are you? I hope everthing is going well for you.

In fact it is very nice to help out the victims, the amount is rather high. But i won't complain about some extra cash, that's for sure.

Just to tell you who you are dealing with: My name is xxxxxxxx, born in a small town in Germany as the only son of Chr1st0her D0eguy and C3line Ma++++i. My parents moved to the US shortly after my birth because my dad was ordered back ( he was some important member of military intelligence those days). I grew up with military things always around me and now I am working for a company involved in information business. Usually i travel around the world most of the year, therefore i have no real address, that would be a waste of money. I am currently not engaged. Talking about information, can you please tell me a bit more about yourself and your function as the consular of high commissions?

So now i wonder how this ATM Card will find its way to me. I have no DHL mailing account, please could you explain it to me, perhaps i can get one.

friendly greetings

XXXXXXXXX

BTW: What happened to Susan, is she available for mailing contact?

Attention xxxx

I have gone through your personal curriculum including that of your family. I am sorry but I might not have the chance to start giving you a casual explanation about myself, I have less than some minutes to stay in the internet as protocol pemits limited access to accomodate other daily affairs, I am sorry about that but you could earn a little about me via net or with time we will get to know each other.

Since you are Transitional for now, I think the best thing to do is for you to get the fund transferred to you via bank to bank transfer as this delay towards completion of this transaction is really giving me a cause to worry considering the fact that I am being attached to the internet more than as supposed, so I want everything to be finalized asap.

Your fund is already with the HSBC BANK and it is placed on safety at Escrow account: 010110008105.

Contact the HSBC BANK with the information below:
1. Bank Name: HSBC BANK
2. Email Address: [email protected]
3. Contact Name: Jerry Hill.

Email them now and then work out the transfer modalities with them. Susan is my secretary and if you prefer that she should help you in regards to meeting with the bank and sending you update via email, then I will employ her on that, though she is intelligent and beautiful, she is like a daughter and second wife.

Remain Blessed.
Robert Scott Dewar

i think i got him hooked now, read my reply building up the bad guy image

Quote:

Dear Robert,

thank you very much for your quick reply. I'm writing to you just to let you know that i am off to the training ground for the next few hours, my boss wants to see me there asap or i will face some severe punishment. He's one of those old fashioned veterans and i'd better not mess up things with him. As for our business, i will email the bank as soon as i get back to work out the modalities as you stated in your last email.

I hope i did not offend you in asking you about Susan, i enjoy emailing with you as you seem to be a very trustworthy man who is really dedicated to his work. This is something we have in common. Nevertheless i would as well enjoy receiving mail from Susan in my inbox.

God bless you.

yours xxxxx

So that's where i am now, waiting for a reply. Any comments and/or advice are welcome.

greetings BOFH

Welcome to eater BOFH

In fact this section is for completed baits Cool

Of course you can add more if a supposed completed bait continues because the lad reappears after a long time of silence.

Regarding this bait: take things slowly and be patient. You're doing fine right now Wink

I think that among all varieties of 419, these are the absolute worst. They're kicking a man when he's down... way down. And the nature of these scams is that they will most certainly ONLY work on a man who is down and has lost money. I mean, you have a limited number of possibilities.

1) Reasonably intelligent person sees E-Mail and says "Ugh.. scam. *DELETED!*
2) Curiously dumb person prone to falling victim to a 419 scam says "Huh? I never lost any money in this scam. This must be a mistake. *DELETED!*"
3) Guy who thinks he can pull one over on the supposed rescuers, and tries to file a claim.
4) Victim who has already lost money to a scammer, feels terrible, and sees this as his ray of hope. The money loss will be greater, and the emotional pain when he finds out that this too is a scam is too much for me to think about without exploding in tears of rage.
