looks like my lad has already been baited in the past

it's still early days with my new pet, so thought I was just getting warmed up when I sent him a dll as a jpeg of a payment slip

given his reaction, I guess he's had this done to him before

"Maven or what ever you are called, stop playing with yourself. You have not sent any payment slip. There is nothing to display on the attachment. Send the payment slip or stop further communications with this law firm. This is not a child's play. A word is enough for the wise"

he's playing as barrister Edward phillips in a fake compensation scam - anyone else baiting this lad at present?

he's in line for a slap pretty soon - I mean, is this anyway to talk to your new client? Twisted Evil

Nice work.

This is a prime example of why we never "burn" the lads at the end of a bait, it only educates them and you screw over the next potential baiter. Let them keep dreaming of "what might have been".

Ah, my favorite past-time activity...

Looks like your lad was indeed a victim of unserious gmail jokers in the past! Altough, given that lads change their names, emails and even formats, it could've been different name for a different baiter. Smile

Phone numbers are often a good way to see if you're dealing with the same lad, though. Wink

yes, that's what I have seen too.

bait a lad until he is angry and drops you.

use a new account and repeat.

the lad will be more cautious.

then screw him with a different modality, rinse and repeat.

the funny situation afterwards: if a real victim has just a single question, the lad will drop that victim. and dropped victims are saved victims.

^^^^
This.

I think one of the greatest benefits of baiting is getting lads so paranoid that they drop victims at the slightest provocation.

I would ask to deal only with his superior at this point. This barrister does not have the customer service skills to continue the funds recovery.
Always blame the lad. Does he not have Windows 10 Maxipad Edition? It may soon be time to spend a few moments sending him a very small thumbnail of a Western Onion transfer. He asked for it did he not?

Short tempered lads are the most fun to work with. I enjoy a good rant.

I have had few lads call me a joker.

I come back with asking what he's talking about and cuss him out.. I question his seriousness and why he does'nt want to continue our business... many times they will pick up and continue.. Seem like the more outraged i get the quicker and more trusting they become.. I also suggest they call me.. they seem to trust me much better if they can even hear my voice for 10 seconds and hang up..

In this situation, I would play confused and ask the lad for help with how to send the attachment properly. It depends on how you've established your baiting character.

I usually pretend that my character got confused because he is elderly, has never used MG before, and is not good with technology. After I tell the lad I sent the money by MG, I stall by using some variation of the following sequence:

Asking what a reference number is
Giving the lad a reference number with too many digits
Asking what a payment slip is
Oh they didn't give me a receipt, were they supposed to?
Asking how to send the receipt
Asking how to attach it
Sending a dll
Sending the reverse side of an MG form
Giving the lad a bogus reference number with the correct number of digits

Once the lad realizes that there is no money under that reference number, it turns out that the MG clerk was crooked and has stolen the cash. If he's still with me after this point, I start asking for bank accounts and get my crooked banker involved.

Of course, if the lad gives me an opportunity to waste more time during any of the above steps, I take it. If you stick to sending only one email a day and waiting 24 hours after each reply from the lad, this can easily get your bait past three weeks.

thanks to all of you for the advice

I've been playing confused but compliant, such as sending payment by cheque to his office address (which oddly they don't accept!), which in turn got me a quick UK piggy

I've been stalling to give time for the account to be closed, but either the bank isn't taking notice, or the lad hasn't noticed yet

what surprised me was the speed with which he got riled up, so early in the game, so clearly he's been someone else's pet - whoever you are we salute you for creating such a level of paranoia in the lad

he's not getting away that easily though, and I like the idea of asking for his supervisor - the mans clearly incompetent and i'm just about to tell him the bank details he gave me are wrong Very Happy

I am finding that much more common, hopefully due to our efforts. I bait old school, email only, and I am finding it more of a challenge.

this lad is definitely losing it!

I told him the bank details were wrong so the transfer didn't go through, expecting at least a rant if not another mule/piggy

instead he just told me that my money's not needed any more

who'd have though it - a fake lawyer prepared to work pro-bono! Laughing

Is this a common mis-phrase? I've had exactly the same phrase from the lad in the "Loose attachments" massBait

In the same boat and I don't find it too difficult, huh.

^ I meant as opposed to using Skype, FB, Twitter, text messaging, smart phone app stuff, and other unicorn devices of the 21 century other than email.

I enjoy using barbed wire, duct tape and WD-40. It seems more challenging to get the same results as just a few years ago. Not bitching, just an observation. Maybe I just suck at baiting more betterer now.

^ doing it old school too Frank - mobiles don't work here - to many hills in the way, so I just use e-mail and lots of time wasting forms/fake receipts

just sent my lad a reply from a new character to see if he's still active, before my old character drops him, and try a ramp the paranoia up another level

who knows - he may decide his nerves cant take it anymore and goes and gets a real job

looks like the lads thrown in the towel

he's not replying to my first character, and an attempt to re-hook him with another character goes unanswered

of course, the upside is that if he's had to abandon his fake barrister account, there's a chance any victims in play will have been dropped too
