Way back when we started a "Brag Board." Think of this as the place where you can share baiting accomplishments that might not show up in a normal thread.

Hey there! I just had a lad give me a Wells Fargo account/routing number, so I reported it to their fraud team. It wasn't a sophisticated bait by any means, but I'm proud of myself and wanted to share. Let me know if this is in the wrong board

Certainly something to brag about! "Trophies" may be entertaining, but receiving a lad's bank details and reporting it as fraud really hurts the lad - in their wallet! Congratulations.

Not sure if this qualifies as something to brag about, or if I've put it in the right forum at all, but:

I very recently managed to squeeze a piggy out of a lad who had been insisting for some weeks on using MG, WU etc for his fee... when I suggested online bank transfers were better, he countered with the suggestion that I go to WU on-line and do it there. Normally, at this point I would ask the learned people for advice on here, but instead my two remaining braincells somehow managed to strike a spark, and I searched online for some sort of browser security error screen shot.

Lo and behold, I found a suitably generic one which had no actual URL details on it, but with a big red triangle and a geeky error code. I sent that to him (in the form of a nicely inflated bitmap image) with an apology for not being good with computers, and by return I had an actual bank account!

Ta very much! (Reported, of course)

I managed to keep a lad on the hook for about 41 emails and I managed to get his bank details, which I reported to Capital One.

Well done!

Bank accounts can also be reported to the Mods. We are in direct contact with the proper authorities that can take action immediately.

Are you?

We are.

Suppose I managed to push a lad away from scam currency (like Western Union or Moneygram) and managed to get his bank details. If I decided to hand the bank details over to a moderator, what would I need to do?

Follow this tutorial https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=253518 to report Bank Accounts.

Cheers.

Not me I'm sorry to say, but whoever's baiting Michael Adjetey should be blowing their own trumpet here. Poor Michael kept the MoneyGram hotline busy all by himself yesterday with 18 calls, one being a stonking 1:13:15 long.

I set A New Year's Resolution to hit 6000 bank accounts this year. I just crossed the 7,200 threshold for total number reported. I'll be taking a bit of a break for the remainder of the week.

Happy baiting y'all.
Hugs and cuddles.

Woah. that's quite an achievement!

Incredible! What an achievement!!

Thats awesome, Bware.

^^^ 7,200 accounts in just 7 months is amazing! Do you track the # of accounts per lad? If so are there any high roller lads that gave you 100's of accounts in the same bait? Are any of those still stuck on your hook that may provide some more when your "breather" is over? It still amazes me how well connected some of these idiots are when they join forces to screw victims over. Many can barely put two words together that make grammatical sense but yet many of them seem to have multiple pathways available to help them funnel cash from innocents into their own filthy coffers

No, not 7200 in six months. That is the total. I have collected 1200+ for the first six months of 2020.

Yes, I do collect the number per lad. High rollers? Yes. One current lad is closing in on 100 with 78, iirc. Several lads have provided 100+ and one lucky lad, who still shows up once or twice a year has provided over 1000 (tbh, I lost track).

What is the trick to get so many bank accounts from one lad?

Usually when I tell a lad for the third time a transfer failed they become suspicious and refuse to give more accounts.

And then what? Do they start to twig and turn the tables, so that instead of you trying to get information out of them, they try to get information out of you? Or do they just send you a message along the lines of "Do not contact me again" and clear off?

Then they'll ask for payment via Western Union, Moneygram or (steam, google, itunes) gift cards.

In the case of WU/MG, I tell them that I have been banned from using them by Homeland Security. In the case of a gift card, I ask them if they're a child and if I need to buy them a toy too.

Usually they stop replying until a few weeks/months later when they come back asking if I'm still interested in the deal. Of course I am, I just need a new bank account to send the money to . Rinse and repeat.

I've seen a few campaigns on here where the baiting character gets the lad to go off script by pretending to work at a bank or the accounts payable department at a big company. That character is crooked and needs a partner to transfer/launder the $ through. Rules & regulations scrutinize transactions of let's say $1k or more. The character plans to retire and plans to make 100+ fraudulent transfers of $999 on their last day. The lad can keep a % if he provides the 100 accounts etc.

That's the only scenario that I can recall. Are there other modalities good for collecting mass amounts of bacon?

Oh, so they'll switch to standard lad currency.

These replies could come in handy, one day.

I thought about telling the lad, that due to all the problems I had in the past, the bank only allows me to send a maximum of $1,000 to a single bank account. If the lad wants his $7,850, then he MUST give me 8 bank accounts first.

The reason why I haven't done that yet, is because I'm afraid that if the lad only has 3 bank accounts, that he will give me 5 fake ones, hoping to get at least $3,000. In that case I'm wasting the time of the people investigating these accounts.

^^^ that's a good point McMarz. There are SWIFT and IBAN checking sites to help mitigate that sort of thing but lads can obviously use them too and provide fake account numbers with valid routing codes etc. It sucks that there's a chance of wasting a bank employees time but fortunately the reports come across electronically so they probably just copy and paste the number and move on if the account doesn't exist. Better safe than sorry IMO.
