Afternoon gentlemen!

Apologies for the lack of well...anything over the last few years, however after looking through my old posts on the site and laughing very heavily, I have decided to have a new crack at baiting.

I have got my old baiting partner involved (the guy who helped me with my "wrestling" baits a few years back and together we've come up with a new modality that involves our character heading to Transylvania on business and falling victim to a character who has a lot in common (though not so much that it may breach a copyright) with Dracula.

So, in saying that, how are the lads these days? I still hold faith in my ability to lie and frustrate them to an Olympic standard, however has there been any advances in lad technologies that I should know about, or can I just jump in at the deep end?

Welcome back Gaz! Quite a bit has changed, a read of the stickies is probably indicated as there have been some shifts in terms of policy - also some changes to CC and bank account reporting, for a start. That said, our objectives are much the same, and with some sweet new tools and imaginative modalities, we are more effective than ever. Have at them!

I am really intrigued about your not-quite-dracula character hahaha

I'd say, they changed a bit:

they are less patient, and demand money within 1-3 mails. and they love to call and being called. on the other hand, they can be easily diverted from WU/MG to bank transfer, some have even several bank accounts at their disposal.

oh, and there are more, since there are more desperate people in lagos who try to earn some money through any means, and it's easier to get internet-access (cheap via mobile phone, not so cheap in the cyber cafe).

so, have fun, and I love to read something about a victim, who turns into a vampire. maybe that character tries to avoid sunlight, garlic and a few other things (try to get a night-only-flight europe-usa?).

My character is off to visit ...

Quote:

Dear ,

Good morning to you, and thank you for the very convincing deposit certificate and pictures of the trunk box which, although appear to be totally different batches, one with yellow bands and one without, both appearing to be far too small to possibly contain $9m in $100 bills, appear completely legitimate.

Now, if you could forward my details on to the hard working chaps at the Daumnet Security company, I would be very grateful. May I ask, Sister Rebecca, how do I go about receiving payment of this money? I see that the Daumnet Security company is based in the Ivory Coast, but I’m here in England and can’t be jetting off to the luxurious surroundings of West Africa at the drop of a hat.

I look forward to hearing from them. In the meantime, I need to get going. I have to attend to some important C.L.I.T business. One of our oldest business partners, i has purchased an estate here on the and I must go visit him with the papers to get his signature – unfortunately he’s a rather elderly man and doesn’t use modern conveniences such as fax machines, so I need to get his physical signature.

He’s located on the e, so it is quite a long journey for me. I may be gone for a few weeks – I won’t have my portable telephone with me, but I will have my laptop so you can still contact me via email. In all honesty, I don’t much care for the e – I’ve heard stories about the place and it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Anyway, I hope to hear from your shortly.

Regards,

Welcome back, Gaz. Smile

It's getting good now. I've sent a few emails heavily hinting that the person I'm going to visit is a vampire, however they've now asked me for $8k. Obvioulsy this is where I'm going to start making them jump through hoops, but she's claiming to be a widow who has terminal cancer. At first, I was going to give her sympathy, but then I remembered it was a filthy, lying Lad and decided instead to reply in the worst possible taste...

Dear Sister Rebecca,

My lady, I must admit that I am quite surprised by this amount – far be it from me to question the intricate workings of the Ivory Coast’s legal system, however this amount is more money than I have. You see, Sister Rebecca, I am not paid for my work here at C.L.I.T – instead, in exchange for my work, they provide my lodgings, cover my household bills, food, travel and give me a small amount for personal use, but nowhere near the amount required to cover fees at the level you speak of. This leaves us in quite a predicament, doesn’t it? I think the best idea is that you get in contact with either Mrs Mongolo or Dr Bakayolo at the security company and instruct them (you have my permission) to open the trunk box and take whatever they need from the $9m. Failing that, the only thing we could do is arrange it via C.L.I.T, but that would require me to nominate you for membership which could add 2 or 3 days on to the process of getting the funds and as much as I don’t like to dwell on your illness, it obviously limits your time, since you’ll be…well, y’know…pretty soon. Not that I like to be morbid, but if we start delaying things now then you could be lying, cold, on the table in the mortuary before you have the chance to see me spend all this money – and that would be a real tragedy.

I have arrived at the inn. The weather outside is now even worse, with howling winds that only increases the misery of the rain. I really hope it clears up before I go to visit i tomorrow. I had a chat with a few of the regulars at the bar downstairs – they’re an odd bunch, they seem to know a lot about the island, however they are very unwilling to talk about i. They surely know of him – he lives on a huge castle on the north coast of the island, it would be impossible to live here and not know of him. Maybe they’re just jealous of his wealth, but in chatting about him I’ve been given another 3 more crucifixes by people when I’ve mentioned the Baron. The people here are very, very generous indeed.

Anyway, I should probably go and get some supper before bed. I have included a copy of my passport below, if you could forward it on to the security company and let them know of our arrangement regarding the trunk box I would appreciate it. I bid you goodnight, my dear lady – it has been a long day and I am terribly exhausted from all my travelling.

Regards,

The "tragedy" line is horrific but really cracks me up for some reason Laughing

what a buch of pious people you have found! giving you crucifixes just because! I hope you don't leave them in your inn room when you go visit the baron (I am having so much fun reading this)

This bait is going swimmingly - so far I've haggled my side of the payment down from almost £5k to a mere £900, trashed her religion, mocked her terminal illness, all whilst being totally oblivious that I'm walking into a real-life horror movie.

Dear ,

Greetings and God Bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to let you know that since it's night here no need to bother Mrs. Mongolo for her copy of identity. I collect my doctor's international passport copy and below here is his receivers details I think it's better to send the money to him direct so that he will complete it before paying it the security company at once.

Also, I latter think about that it's not good to pay security company the money two ways payment, is good to pay it at once. So take my doctor's receivers information below to send the money through western union tomorrow by the grace of Almighty God.

Receiver name complete. Mohamed Ali
Receiver Address. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Receiver Country Name. Cote d'ivoire
Question. Okay
Answer. Okay

Below herewith attachment is doctor Mohamed Ali, copy of international passport. Almighty God will surly bless you. Amen!!!
I wait your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.&Be protected by Almighty God.
Yours Lovely Sister Rebecca.

So, my reply - anyone who's read Dracula will see the similarities (apart from the part about the horse...)

Dear Sister Rebecca,

Good day to you. You’ll be glad to know that I’ve safely arrived at castle. It was a very strange journey – after I last spoke to you, coachman was waiting on me. He wasn’t a patient man – I pointed out his horse’s huge phallus. Not in any disturbing way, but honestly Sister Rebecca, it was massive! Morbundi’s coachman was very eager to leave, but I stressed to him “Just look at it! It’s enormous!”. He then barked at me “Mr Andre! Please! We don’t have time for this! Please get in the carriage!”. He was very aggressive indeed – not the sort of fellow you should be sending to greet your guests.

Anyway, we took a very long, narrow road up to the castle. I didn’t get a good look at the drivers face since he was wearing a dark, hooded cloak, however in the glances I did see, he looked very pale indeed. I suppose the north of the island doesn’t get much sunlight. He dropped me at the door of the castle just before midnight and I had to wait a few minutes for the Count to open the door.

He greeted me with a warm welcome – the hallway looked very old, with stone walls and an uncovered floor made of wooden planks which creak loudly with every step. The count shook my hand, his own hands being icy cold though surprisingly strong for a man of his age. He was completely bald, with glowing green eyes and a rather dirty face – which is not surprising considering the amount of dust in the old castle. He served me a delicious meal and we stayed awake till dawn, the room lit by only the log fire and candles since it has no electricity. He spoke avidly, mostly about celebrities – I believe he writes for a newsaper about Hollywood stars – for many hours. As he spotted the sun coming up, he told me I should go to sleep and took me to my room. He informed me that I could sleep as long as I wished since he would be out on business for most of the day and would not return until this evening.

I have not been awake for long. I had planned to make the payment today, however the count has left the castle and the doors are locked, so I have no way of getting out at the moment. I should hopefully be able to send the money later, assuming the Baron returns before sundown.

When I send the money, when will Mohamed Ali be able to collect it?

Regards,

You'll notice I point out that the Baron "writes for a newspaper about Hollywood stars"...if the scammer had bothered to search, they might well find that this is actually a crossover with my own website, where the Baron is our Hollywood gossip

Some shameless self promotion there. Laughing
