So I've got a few baits going at present but I'm really new at this and just playing. I've got One Guy who is adding me to contact a fake bank email address for him. This will help set up the offshore account we're going to use of course!
I feel like it's doing too much for him. I don't think it's a risk but I'd rather try and avoid.
What advice?
I can give more details on lad and mails so far.
Just wanted to chat it over

Is the fake bank just a gmail or yahoo email address or is it a paid for domain that has a website attached to it?

If it is the former, then you can just go along with him and contact them (or play a bit of ping-pong first by trying to get him to do it) as that is where the request for money will come from.

If it is the latter then take a look in the fake banks forum to see if it has been posted and if not post it there (do a search on the domain first) to be killed.

One mail option which you might consider would be to send an e-mail to the fake bank's address, but alter the e-mail address by one digit. The e-mail will bounce.

Then, on the bounced e-mail, forward it to the mugu's original e-mail address. Complain that the bank's address is not working. Be sure to FIX the one digit error you made in the bank address when you forward the e-mail (so it looks to the mugu that you sent it to the correct address).

Repeat as needed until maximum frustration is achieved.

Thanks to you both.
It's just a regular address @live (dot) com so no dodgy domain. I like the idea of faffing around with the address and bouncing it around. Also think I'll try and make him do it after.
Fab!
Thanks people.
