EKen132 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) Well, I just ended my second scam bait today. It went fairly well, except I would've been more convincing had I given the person a phone number. Instead, I stalled on both sending him money and giving him a phone number, and maybe payed the price...+forged boarding pass and flight to Nigeria+maintained that I fled the United States on account of lawsuit threats from Greenpeace+got scammer to wait for me in an airport holding a sign that read "B4LLS"+signed all my letters "homie," developed my fake identity and pretentious vocabulary-almost, but didn't quite get reservations at Le Meridien, the most expensive hotel in Lagos, Nigeria... they would've cost over a grand US anyhow-ended in about two weeks and the man hates me nowTake a look at all the pictures, browse our correspondence, and check out the nasty burn e-mail I sent him at the end. Altogether a hilarious hobby.EDIT: Well crap the word doc won't attach for some reason... Let me try something elseEDIT: PM me for the correspondence. I promise it'll be worth it. Well, here's my final e-mail to him for now:scambaiting.doc Edited July 1, 2006 by EKen132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenratiophi Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 A possible funny telephone thing: My county has a number you can call that simply reports the current time, temperature, and a bank ad. I wonder if you can give a spammer a similar thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
