Okay, that's probably a rhetorical question Laughing

So, I'm running a bait with a lad claiming I've won the "UK Lottery", which of course entails me sending some money to Malaysia. I got to the point where I was ready to send him a few forms to fill out so he could get his precious WU (or so he thinks). Then my email to him bounced. I'm new at this, so I really don't know how often this happens. But a couple of days later I get a email from him, using the same name but a different addy. The thing is, he started back at the beginning of his script! Like our previous conversations had never taken place (and the last few had him a bit perturbed as I had expressed a bit of suspicion that things weren't on the up and up). So of course I'm playing along, getting to waste even more of his time. Twisted Evil

It happens a lot, when it does just carry on as if you have not noticed.. Wink

I've had a lad change email address during a bait, but he continued from where he left off. I've also had a lad send me his starting script in the middle of a bait, but it was because I brought in a new character whom he didn't recognize as the first character's wife. That was the Melvin Clark bait.

I am never sure if they are dumb or just running so many scams they get confused.

But, whatever, it is, use it to your favor. Just don't correct them as we don't want to educate them but to de-educate them.
