Hi all,

I can't imagine this not being discussed here before, but I couldn't find any old posts for it.

Once a lad has determined not to invest any more time in you, is it wise to stubbornly keep up your end of the conversation? Because they'll use the same email address for all recipients in their initial spam blast, they are forced to keep checking that inbox and thus to spend extra time filtering out your e-mails from the ones he is interested in. Because he's not going to read your e-mails anymore, any time spent on the actual text in it is lost, so simple copy/paste work would be best.

The consequence might be that he flags your messages as spam, which might result in your account being blocked in the long run...?

If it's a good idea, then it might be an even better idea to send along some big attachments each time, just to stress his internet cafe bills and help the local community that way Smile

This idea taken to the extreme is to spam the hell out of them once the bait is over, until they drop the inbox out of desperation, which will at least protect any victims joining in later on.

Any thoughts?

Personally, I send a lad a couple of reminders and then drop him. No point flogging a dead horse.

Doing this will actually have a negative affect on future victims. If the email address is listed at ScamWarners or other anti-scam sites, then those warning will be worthless if you get the lad to abandon the email address. If he abandons it and sets up a new one then that won't be listed, possibly until a victim loses money and posts it. That is the same reason why we do not report free email addresses.

You can set up a new account and bait him again with a new character if you want to stick with the same lad.

This has promise - think how and why the last bait went cold. Try and steer the bait in a different direction. If you keep punishing the same lad he might think he is not cut out for the scam game Laughing

For reasons already stated, don't spam his inbox.

Also, generally, resist the temptation to tell him he has been baited. . . leave him wondering if he had just kept going with you, would that pot at the end of the rainbow been waiting for him???

Then, bait him again from a new e-mail address!!!

Some baits are never over, even when you think they are. When a lad stops responding to me, I stop responding to them only to sometimes have them crawl back months later wanting to know what happened and why I never responding to them/sent the fee/cry cry cry. Then I get to ask all the original questions all over again because too much time has passed and my character's memory isn't all that great. Second time around can be even more fun.

I like to go through my inbox every few months and send an email to all the lads that have dropped me. Then I send them something like:

Quote:

Where the hell have you been? Are we still continuing with this deal? Please advise.

Some won't reply, some will start fresh with their formats, and some will go ballistic! The ones that are nicely pissed off, I insult for as long as they will endure it. Then no correspondence for another 3 months or so. Then i will send them:

is to follow a former mentee around and catch him when he double posts.

tell him, you went to a juju or voodoo priest and that you have cursed him (you should at least know a few things like which goddess or spirit you asked to haunt him and which animal you used - animals you've loved and raised yourself work best, for example tell him you sacrifice your dog).

there are many superstitious lads who will do virtually anything to get rid of the curse.

together with a few swears and insults like that he will die as a hungry man in the street will give him even more grief.

I had a bait come to its natural end, after 5 piggies, the SPTS questionnaire and two short (unqualified here) safaris. My character got frustrated and said she was better off spending the money on lottery tickets, then went silent.

A few weeks later she sent this to the lad:

Quote:

I just picked up my lotto winnings from January 22. I won $42,357.00!! I was on the local news and everything, it’s been quite exciting. Next month I’m taking a cruise, something I always wanted to do.

I promised you I wouldn’t forget your kindness, so I would like to send you $2,500 to you personally, not to your company bank. Please send me your personal account or an address and I will get it to you however you like.
Your friend,

The lad replied:

Quote:

I am so delighted to read from and i congratulate for your lottery winning. Also i am much grateful to you for your Kind gesture and for remembering me. I can't express my happiness and gratitude to the length but will pray to God to grant you more years in good health and prosperity. Kindly send the money to the BOA account for me…<bank info>.
