Welcome back!

I'm not technically new, but as I haven't posted since 2012 and you've got new shiny forums since then it seems I am essentially new.

I had a lot of fun with a "barrister" some 15 years ago and as I have a bit of spare time again I have reactivated my old accounts top see if I can waste some scammers' time and money.

I look forward to following what people are getting up to these days.

Hello everyone

this is actually my second return here. After the first pause I was still able somehow to remember at least my nick so I got my account reinstated and used it until sometime in 2018-19. This time I'm totally lost and I'll just start over again/. No big loss. I only had one piggy in my signature then.
On a more serious note, I've witnessed some people getting scammed, although not with the scams we deal with here, and I decided to dedicate some of my time to be a royal PITA to our beloved lads.

[bware419ers]

And they will appreciate your return!

Welcome to 419Eater. The best place to start is right here: Baiting Basics for Beginners

[TheRageBaiter]

The scam warners site is blocked on my computer. is there a different site i can use, or just a email to sned a message to?

[ErasedCloud]

hello everyone.
New to this whole realm but found Monetized Youtube Baiter and Im just hooked on the whole idea. Currently getting some really annoying scam emails that are just bad. "cloud account deletion by tomorrow" everyday for months, just delete it lol, and payment goes to a fabric company SMH. Like who falls for this stuff? But Im aware people do all the time and most scams look better then that one so I want to help. Will start reading all over the forum before I start asking too many questions, if anyone has any other scam baiter starter links please share.

thanks, yall really are modern day heros

[Kitty La Gore]

Welcome, Erased!

Sometimes it's best to get started with a scammer someone else has generously donated to the cause - check out our sister site, Scamwarners.com, and you'll find all sorts of email formats there. We recommend you not reply via your own email address, of course, so once you've set up a fun character you'll be set to plunge into the world of scambaiting.

Don't worry... it's totally not addictive...

If you're using an adblocker, you can turn it off for that site and it should work. Are you seeing this through the browser? I would try a different browser just to be sure. Let us know if you still have troubles and we'll see if someone over there can help!

[TheRageBaiter]

No, it's like a restriction on the computer,

[Kitty La Gore]

You can try emailing them at [email protected] but I'm not quite sure what that is all about.

[TheRageBaiter]

I think its a fix on my side, i think i know how to fix it!

Hey 419eaters,

I go by duublox3 and would describe myself as a straight-baiter (pretending to be a perfect victim, I'm not good at wasting the lad's time, no phone calls involved but if: I use phone-bots the lads can call to make them believe my char exists).
Of course I never "burn" lads by telling who I really am but I do have a little fun now and then by "pushing their buttons" especially if I got everything I wanted from a lad, if they get angry: I can ditch them "for being rude" and move to the next one.

My main goal in baiting is to collect reportable info as soon as possible (with a little luck: IRL info about the lad but mostly bank accounts as reporting and cutting of the money flow is important imo and if LEOs take it serious: can prevent real victims from being scammed).
I started baiting seriously around a year ago (prior to that I dipped my toe into some forms of baiting, Mail baiting is my safe-heaven since then).
I collected around 370 bank accounts so far and the number is growing. To save time in baiting multiple lads at once I use LLMs to draft Emails (especially in the early stages where it's always the same yada-yada)

so cheers to E&E1 here, will give the forum a deeper read now.

Herzlich Wilkommen hier!!

Glad to have you around. Let us know if you have any questions, want some help, or whatever!

Shutting down bank accounts is an effective way to harm the scammers. We have a direct link with ' the banking world' and the reports of our members go a long way in having accounts shut down on a regular basis.

[bware419ers]

Welcome! We've spent years establishing great relationships with banks all over the world. Reporting these helps to damage the scammer's relationships (with other scammer's and their mules, who are often victims, too).

Here's how to get them reported:
