You can have some fun with them and make their life a little miserable, here are some tips: http://www.419eater.com/html/baiting.htm |
I have lots of fun with them. I have about 50 baits in my email that are funny as hell. I got one guy that wanted to join my fake church "The holy browneye worshipers" with the notion that he would be eligible for a "New member donation" Of 26,500 usd. I told him that in order for him to join he had to bare our church name " Holy browneye worshiper" and slogan "Never wipe your faith away" in the form of a tattoo on his left arm. After trying to come up with reason after reason as to why he could not bare the mark of the browneye i finally gave up..... A week or so later i got an email from him saying he has QUOTE "Found his way through the evil shadows and is willing do what ever it takes to join my faith" Long story short there is a scammer i Lagos running around with a tattoo on his arm that says "Holy Browneye Worshiper Never Wipe Your Faith Away"
