Hi !
I have been stalking here for a few days, and I just wanted to tell you that you're doing a great work here. I'm a huge fan of safaris...

Without a doubt, you are really skilled to have them spend money, but has anyone here already managed to actually get money from them ? Because using their "logic" (you gotta to spend money to make money) against them, it could be possible, right ?
Also, maybe I'll post about this later, but I would love to give you some help with a french speaking character if you need. Maybe some kind of ambassador / investor / cousin / in or next to french speaking countries in West Africa.

Have a good trip !

It is big time against the rules! Read the stickies.

Trying to take money from a scammer lowers us to their level.

Ancillary to the above:

I want to bait my lad into donating to a charity of my choice, can I?

Not on Eater.
It is effectively the same as cash baiting, except you aren't lining your own pockets. Additionally, the charity receiving the money is an Innocent Third Party (ITP) which neither asked nor consented to be involved in your bait. Lastly, you just don't have any control over the funding source of the donation, be it another victim, stolen credit cards or fraudulent/counterfeit money orders or checks.
