It's been a while since we've had one of these threads. I like them because it's great to get links to something we might have missed or to reminisce together.

What are your Eater favorites?

Do you have a favorite:
bait
lad quote
trophy
fake site kill
Eater thread
custom tag

or other category I haven't thought of . . .

Please post them!

Jojobeans bait of Kevin Will Tony is a high point to me. The bait is spread over a lot of threads threads here at Eater (it went on for 2½ years), but the pdf of the finished bait is right here (CLICKY).

Safari USA has to be the best for a long time, almost as good as the Road to Chad.

I'd also like to praise the site killers for their work, which may not make for exciting reading, but really f***s the lads off.

Then all of those people doing boring straight baits and gaining bank accounts, CC details. Again, it may not make for enthralling reading, but as everyone knows, one of those straight baits can easily turn into something exciting.

My favourites have to be the straight baiters who may not post because they may feel it isn't interesting, or exciting, but they keep turning up bank accounts, Cc details,and a host of leads that can be passed on to LE/Banks etc.

^^^ I agree with Irish. We do so much more beyond the high profile baits to be praised for. It's a multi-faceted community that we work in here. Like spokes of a wheel we all play our part within our interest and talents (and available time).

I still believe that our combined efforts are still more effective than traditional Law Enforcement is. (Yup, two more cents please)

So many possible victims saved by the warning reports we do. So many victims helped after they have been scammed by those who care enough to do it. So many Sites killed and lost victims because of the kills. Credit cards reported that have been compromised, Fake checks taken out of the hands of Scammers.

I'm proud of all you people who do this "Hobby" with commitment of time and resources.

Music man's location cracks me up everytime I see it;

@The Dane: I miss Jojobean! He pops in from time to time, but I have never succeeded in talking him out of retirement.

@Irish and Big Al: Yeah, we're awesome. We are more effective than law enforcement, and it's not just me saying so: https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/tag/scamwarners/

Quote:

Based on my experiences, I recommend to anyone who needs more information that they contact the Internet Fraud Center of ScamWarners, which seeks “to protect, inform and assist victims and potential victims of internet fraud.”[6] They are the best that I have seen, and they are free; and they are better than most if not all the government agencies that try to protect us.

^^^^ That was my favorite article about SWs. Cool

While I fully agree that some of the great work done here doesn't have a link to post, it's nice for newer members to have links to things on the forum that have helped make Eater what it is. I also like remembering that we change roles and focus on different things over time. I no longer trophy bait, for example.

The links don't necessarily need to be to a huge safari, just something that you love.

One of my favorite baits is luckey's simple, yet very entertaining Molehill/Mountain bait: https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=168689

Best Safari? Has to be the Road to Nowhere...

Me too! He's my big baiting hero! In fact, reading that very bait is what got me hooked one late August evening, and here I am, 5 years later. Very Happy

Ima, I hadn't seen that article before, just posted it in my RL FB page, so hopefully it will get spread around even more.

I'm involved with SeniorNet NZ, anything I find in here and SW that helps me protect the people I deal with helps

Thank you

Irish

This baiter inspired me to trophy bait. I loved all his baits but this is my favorite.

Thanks for all the kind words!

My favourite bait was by a guy who I actually think passed away. His name was bombraider or something. I can't remember. It's been like 10 years ago. But he did a stuntman bait that was hilarious. He got videos of scammers doing ridiculous stunts. Jumping off buildings and punching each other in the face. Nothing made me laugh harder than that video.

My favourite quote was when YW was called an unimaginable bastard pig.

The funniest picture I have ever seen are Big Worm's Lads That Stole Christmas. Hahahahaha. I still laugh.

Of my personal baits, my favourites were the following:

1. Adamu in Chad. That one was just epic and had so much attention.

2. I had one safari that I sent someone to Timbuktu. That makes me laugh, to this day.

3. My one scammer Kevin Will Tony... He has six tattoos thanks to me. That makes me laugh.

"Swoon" Jojo Very Happy

Bombadier did some classic stuntman stuff, the lad jumping off a building with his trousers on fire and then running around his yard screaming, classic

A Baiter that sadly passed away before his time

The Lad to Chad, I will drink your piss,
and left stranded

He is still there I think?

We all miss your insanity

Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 2:09 am

Bombardier's stunt lads also a favorite of mine

There is one guy that, as far as I know, got stuck there for years. I don't know about now, but last time I checked, he had been there for about 4 years. Chad is kind of nice, is all I can imagine.

Bomb was a class baiter and there are few things on this earth funnier than that stunt bait.

Curious George. The photography and $$ turned into a social experiment.

Edit: It did, and I loved it.

Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 3:37 am

Sorry, second post.
When I realized that site killing meant saving potential vics, and yacking with others who knew what I meant...It was as though I was hearing the same language for the first time.

Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 3:50 am

My favorite has to be The Lad Who Stole Christmas YeaWhatever got him to build a pyramid in front of his house out of cement bags Smile

The pics still crack me up

I don't think you are going to find an answer now Ima, Eater has evolved so much even in the few years i have been a member, SW started, we have links with LE/Banks,
All of those baits and publicity have lead to Eater and SW being the "go to " places

For sure the "Glam" baits, the "safaris" draw the people in, once they get into the actual work, and realise those glitzy posts are actually a lot of work, if they stick around, they can get there as well

@ Rover, lolol! The little dog with the string of leaves!

Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 5:15 am

Hector. What an incredible and long-running bait. Epic in the grandest sense of the term.

My favorite Nurse Nasty bait was probably his last one here:

S.C.A.M.M.S. - A Comical Adventure!
https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177394&highlight=comic

This one had me in stitches! And to think of all the work and co-ordination to get different lads from separate locations to meet and do the wacky things in this one was mind-boggling! Laughing

Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:34 am

A thread with lots of oldtimers posting, the right place for me then.

My favorite baits started by the best baiter of all times:

Taoreed part 1: https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=211615

The Road to Chad and Rushforth the Lame are my favorites-the sense of impending doom in both had me in stitches.

But it was Shiver's classic art baits that inspired me to sign up. Haven't pulled one off yet but one day....

Site killing: Occasions where one site was reported and the host replies "the customer had X other sites and we have taken those down as well". It shows just how far things have come in developing relationships with hosts, thanks to the huge efforts of the sitekillers.

Some of my favourite trophies have already been mentioned but another important collection is the photos by Jwoods: getting lads to dress up and perform charitable acts:

Curious George/Man in Yellow Hat

Spongebob

Santa

My favourite baits are those that get lads to sing. User ironman hasn't been spotted around here in a couple of years but got some great ones and took requests from the peanut gallery (lad singing Dolly Parton's "Jolene" was my request). Unfortunately those files are no longer available (formerly on 4shared, now dodgy looking links).

Custom tags: my favourite was Baitsamurai's "Not allowed a custom tag". It's not really a custom tag but I also like Tsnerd's postcount.

Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 11:59 am

^ Talking about custom tags, i liked TheFae's custom tag "depriving lads of their fortunes", as she probably does with a lot of lads as soon as she finds a scam website. First class site killer!
