I have baited a few gold lads and they always seem very keen to get someone to travel to their country.
I was just wondering what they intend to do if someone was foolish enough to go.

kidnap and ransom, possibly a side of murder.

The lad logic says Gold buyers are rich.

What I hear is that they tend to get Robbed and or kidnapped.

Doesn't just go for Gold Lads either. I recently had a Dakar Darling that was very upset when I didn't make the flight from France to Senegal. That bait was pretty much lovelad with the intent of me going there to meet her. Someone fielded the possibility than they could be Nigerians or some other nationality living in Senegal too.

I like gold lads. Seriously, I do. They are often smarter than your average next of kin script kid and aim so high that their greed totally blinds them when they think you are really coming there to meet them with a luggage full of cash. And at the same time, as has already been said, they are also despicable in that they want personal meeting, which could very well lead to kidnapping and/or killing a victim. They always get a high priority in my catcher account when I'm looking for new lads to bait.

it's pretty scary really.
To me it's largely a bit of fun,I tend to forget sometimes there are real victims out there,some of who may end up dead.

While on the face of it, it all seems fun and games, underneath it's very dark. You have to always remember that they are real criminals we're messing with here. That is why every baiter here warns against meeting your lads and do everything you can to conceal or protect your real identity,
If you're mad enough to go meet them, they can, will and do rob you blind, hold you for ransom and even kill you if their demands aren't met.
Some of these despicable creatures will even kill their hostage after the ransom is paid anyway. Some of them just enjoy doing that. They don't care for another person's life. They just want money.

Gold lads are great for safari's. You write them back, expressing interest, but when it comes time to cable/western union/moneygram the funds, you tell him that you have heard of internet scams and are worried, and you want to see the gold. Ask if they can meet with you. When they say "yes", tell them you want to get a room at a safari camp, Look up 5imba, and that modality. You then tell the lad you are renting a room at the hotel and you are bringing the money with you. Have the camp be in an agjacent country, and have them meet you at the airport in adjacent country. The next day, when you ave a pile of frantic emails, tell them you ended up on an earlier flight, and now you are at the safari camp, with all the money, and they can come up and meet you. That will earn you a Safari

Gold lads are great to safari.

This is one of notorious cases:

And I don't think they're particularly smarter. It's just they like to follow their scripts and have many official looking documents. Once you get them off-script they will be more willing to lower their guards Twisted Evil

Perhaps I have just stumbled on smarter gold lads then, but the ones I've had have been far more eager than many other lads to abandon their scripts and get actually negotiating stuff with me. Sure, they have scripts too, but I'm yet to write simply "you are an idiot" to a gold lad and have him bombard me with a wall of script text like other lads.

I put my gold lads through my own script. Devised by Dharma and perfected by me. After that half of them are willing to travel to pick up their huge load of cash or to send someone else to do it. One of my current is Mr Koffi that I got from Duckling. Statistically he should have a 50% chance to make it as he is on the last script and he is still with me. I'm thinking a autumn pilgrimage to the chapel.

Either way. I agree with Dharma. Gold lads are neither smarter or dumber than the average lad. But it is easy to use their script against them and make them believe that they have hit a jackpot with a maga willing to pay them 200,000$. And that helps them get their ass of the chair.

Any interest in sharing the script?
