Hey all, another returning baiter from numerous years back (username Claus Shaeve)
I've resurrected my interest as a result of several recent run-ins with some very obvious scammers on the running social media site 'Strava', where it seems that people who are desperate to obtain an entry to a race are regularly relieved of their money by these scumbags. WhatsApp appears to be the primary communication method of choice for the scammers, who will publish a number for contact - usually foreign, but all too often UK numbers are also offered. I'd be very interested to learn of any baiting formats that might fit, and if some bank accounts were to be closed down in the process then that would be a welcome bonus.
Thanks.

Hi folks. Returning from the old forums! Doubtful anyone here remembers me, but my most successful bait was the "Sookie Saga" where I had the lad on the line for about 4 months I think? I got my first (and only for now) piggy. Trying to figure out how to get my siggy line back from the old forums- any help is appreciated.

Bait safe folks! See you around the forums!

Hello Baiters! I spent some time in Germany in 2003-2009 and it was lonely as my ex-husband was deployed for half of it. So my love of reading this, started then. Thought I would get back to it, and maybe start a new bait myself. Just learning for now, but hopefully someone will take me under their wing at some point and co-bait with me. Anyways, hello to all! :D

Welcome @mochaloca. I'm always up to tag-team a lad. Admittedly I don't have a lot of baits to my name- only one straight bait that lasted for a few months- but I am happy to help! Like you I disappeared for a while and just recently came back. Been trying to bait a lad but all I can't get him to move away from his script... just script letters from multiple emails.

ETA: I'm decently proficient at photo-chopping if anyone needs some help!
