Today I hit 300 bank accounts reports, in total, with the quarantine total reaching 173 (April-August).
Here's the quarantine stats update, if anyone's interested:
Tools used:Number of bank accounts - 173
Number of individual lads - 79
Number of different countries where the bank is located - 21
Top three countries where bank is located - UK (55), US (52), Nigeria (29)
Total amount of money my character pretended to send to lad-land - ยฃ386,110 ($515,497 EUR432,954)
Most bank accounts collected from a single lad - 10
My modality - straight baiting, covid-19 has been good for telling lads that I can't go to the store/WU/MG etc. Once I have exhausted the lad with bank accounts I send him down the MG calling route
A fictitious private and exclusive bank, with an address that cannot be looked up. If the lad whines I say that the bank is so exclusive that it is not advertised. Obviously the bank is too posh to have bitcoin or money transfer facilities!
Microsoft Word and Excel - I use a spreadsheet to record the data and Word templates, with the mailmerge function, to create the receipts. The spreadsheet holds the parity rates to convert the currency to the relevant location. One benefit of the list is that if the lad sends me a bank account that I've been sent before, I can reject it and insist on another.
I send a bank statement when the lad whined, also using the mailmerge function. The spreadsheet has the details of income and expenditure on the account for the day of the transfer, including the amount sent to the lad, for authenticity.
I send a bank reject notification so I can ask for a second, third (10th...) bank account from the lad.
I use a separate reporting document to compile all the info required to send the account to an Eater mod.
Photoshop - to create folding lines in the receipts etc.
Skype number - for the lads to call me.
Googlemail schedule send - I always send my emails at 3am, so that when I get up in the morning, I normally have a clutch of emails to respond to.
Googlemail templates - good for the initial stages of the bait.
Once again, shout-out to the wonderful oscarpiles, who has been patient with me and diligent with all the reporting! Thank you! I am back in the office full-time from Tuesday so this little project is over, but we'll still keep plugging away...
