So I recently got a Facebook Friend Request from an old friend of mine, which I accepted, not realizing we were already FB friends. I quickly realized that his account had been spoofed. I actually pretty strongly suspected it on the very 1st FB Messenger entry (“Hello”). Somebody you haven’t spoken to in years who friends you doesn’t just say “Hello”. They’d say something like, “Hey Andrew - Long time no see. Thought I’d say hey and see what you’re up to.”
Just “Hello” almost ALWAYS means it’s a scammer of some kind. But just in case, I figured I’d ask a few questions to see if it really WAS Jason…
Jason <Snipped last name- bware419ers>
Jason
Hello
One more thing: The REAL Jason is a great guy from my hometown. I don’t even think he got hacked. I think they just look at random people’s Friends lists (which is public) and then create a spoof account. Nothing Jason could’ve done to prevent this.
The “Jason” who’s talking to me here is NOT the actual Jason.
You sent
Hey. Long time no see. How many years has it been?
Jason
Yeah
Jason
How are you doing?
You sent
Good. Where you living these days?
Jason
Currently living in Vermont
Scammer knew that because it’s posted on Jason’s actually account that the guy duplicated.
You sent
I was just there. Just for a day and a half.
Jason
Glad to hear from you I’m doing pretty good and feel extremely happy with the way things are in my life now and that remind ms me have you heard about the (CSBG) program yet
Yep. Scammer. I could just say “Up yours, Scammer” but I decided to have some fun with the guy, because: a) I was just in the mood for to entertain myself at the expense of a scumbag, and b) The more time he spends dealing with me, the less time he has to actually succeed in stealing money from some poor unsuspecting person. Let the games begin!
You sent
What’s the name of the place the Midway Diner used to be?
(At this point I already know he’s a scammer, but thought I’d ask a question he doesn’t know the answer to, to put a little pressure on him.)
You sent

Jason

Jason
Missed audio call - 8:02 AM
I’m not sure why he tried to place an audio call. Maybe he accidentally hit the Call button (the little phone icon in Messenger) or maybe he just wanted to see what I sound like, and would then hang up. Who knows.
You sent
CSBG? What’s that?
Jason
I meant the cash was donated to people by the community service block grant to help and support them financially to pay bills and buy home or starting up a business to eradicate poverty and maintain the standers of living. Haven’t you gotten yours?
It amazes me that these guys don’t realize how NOT American they sound. Insert foreign accent here. He thinks this is how a white guy from Vermont talks.
You sent
What cash? I don’t know anything about it. You got some kind of grant?
You sent
What kind of grant did you get
Fri 12:47 PM
Jason
Oh really I’m so happy I got the sun of $25,000 deliver to me when I applied for the grant and it dozen require a pay back it was indeed a great blessing. You can also apply for it before the program get closed.Do you know how to do that?
“Indeed a great blessing” Hahahahah
You sent
No. How do you do it?
So now, “Jason” sends me to the Facebook page of the “Government Agent” who is going to help ME get the great blessing of a $25,000 grant…

You sent
Okay. Thanks J-dog. I really appreciate your help. I’ll let you know if I get the money!
Jason
Ok.
=================================================
So now I went ahead and clicked his link to the other fake account. Another note: I have no idea who the woman is in the photo in front of the American Flag. Obviously just a shot they ripped off the internet and gave “her” the fake name of “Agent Ginnete Julian”. Nowhere in this scam bait do I make fun of the woman. She’s a victim of this POS scammer too.

Wait, you got $25,000 and you’re down to your last $200? What happened to the money?
Seriously, I’ll pay you back as soon as they bring me the cash. And I’ll throw in another $500 for your help. So you’ll make 500 profit in a couple days. It’ll be a Win/Win for us both. And thanks again my brotha- you have totally saved my ass here. I’ve been hella broke!

Anyway, yeah, if you could Venmo me the 200, that would be a big help, and I’ll still pay u back double. I’ll call you tonight - I gotta get Lil Ricky home from rugby. He got bashed in the face and has a bloody nose. No tears, though. He’s a tough kid

Hi Agent Julian.
I’m not sure about the hospital because I don’t want to get hit with a huge medical bill if bloody noses don’t count as Obamacare. I changed out his snot rag and he’s still bleeding but I think it’s less than last night. Hopefully it’s not that he’s running out of blood. If it doesn’t stop by lunch, I’ll bring him to one of those cheapo clinics. Do you know what time they’re planning on delivering my grant money? I don’t want to be at the cheapo clinic with my son (we call him Lil Ricky but his name is just Ricky) and then if I’m not home they leave and I never get my grant money. That would be horrible

Agent Julian- Looks like I might be able to get one of the ladies next door to give me the fee dough. But she has a question. Are there any more grants? I didn’t get the last one did I? How many more are they. And are they all for 30 Large, or is it a different amount for different people. I think she wants to apply for one. And then she’ll also loan e the money for my fee. She’s really nice and in my opinion totally deserves a grant. She’’d do a lot of good things with it. Mostly to help the community. Her name is Mrs. Streissand. Maybe it’s just one S. I’m not sure of the spelling. She goes by the nickname Babs.

It’s literally just a phone. Can I apply for her? And also, if we get our deliveries at the same time, could we use the same $500 fee, or does it still have to be $500 for each person?

Damn, girl! That took FOREVER! Babs is a talker. Okay, so here's the deal. She wants to apply for one grant for herself, and one for her "friend" who she lives with. Minnie. I don't think Minnie is her sister. So what she wants to do is have me apply for a separate grant for her, and one for Minnie. And then she'll pay the $1500 for the delievery fees for all three of us. (500 + 500 + 500 = $1500). But she also wants to know if ALL of the grants are for 30,000 each, or if they're different amounts?

Babs says that Minnie will go to the bank on her way home from work, and withdraw the money for our fees. But she wants to make sure she and Minnie (Minerva) are both approved for grants. Can you apply for them?
Agent Ginnete Julian
YES
You sent
Thanks. Let me know if they’re approved. They’re really nice lesbians, and very kindly neighbors.

Also, my friend Jason Beims (he sometimes goes as “The Beemer”) says he sent you $200 of my fee this morning. So that would mean I only owe $300 now. Can you check?
Agent Ginnete Julian
YES..OKAY
Agent Ginnete Julian
I RECEIVED IT?
So now he’s gonna get $200 less, but he doesn’t care. With my two neighbors, our scammer is about to get $1300 from me!!!!

Are they both getting 20,000, or just one of them? There are two of them: Babs and Minnie (Barbra and Minerva)
You sent
Minnie is going to get the money on her way home from work. She works a some kind of a school for gifted people. She usually gets home late afternoon
Agent Ginnete Julian
TWO OF THEM QUALITY FOR THE GRANT?
You sent
So 20,00 for each of them?
Agent Ginnete Julian
YES?
You sent
I’m lucky that I got approved for 30. Maybe they give less to women because of the gender gap. That makes sense
Agent Ginnete Julian
DID SHE KNOW HOE TO MAKE THE PAYMENT FOR DELIVERY FEE?
You sent
Anyway they’ll be really happy.
Agent Ginnete Julian

She’s just gonna give me $1500, end then I can give the money to the FedEx man, unless you still need me to go buy some Gift Cards. I’ll do whatever you think is best

I just told Babs that she and Minnie both got approved for 20K grants. She hugged me for like a full minute! You have made 3 people VERY happy. Sounds like you have a pretty fun job, giving away US Government grant money and making peoples dreams come true. We’re all super grateful for your help with the applications. I’ll let you know when Minnie gets home with the money this afternoon. And then you can tell me what to do with the $1300 (remember J-dog already paid 200 of my fee) Thanks, Ginny! Talk to you in a couple hours :-• XO

Howdy Agent Julian. My neighbor just got back with the cash. I just have to give my son his bath and massage. (His nose is bleeding way less now - Yay!!!) and then I’m gonna head over to the store to buy the gift card. Talk to you soon

HELLO?

Agent Ginnete Julian
ARE YOU BACK FROM THE STORE?
You sent
Hi Agent. I’m at the store and they want to know if I want a Point Of Sale card (POS) or a Secure Card. The secure card just has a chip so that no one can steal the numbers off the card. Only the person with the physical card can use it. That sounds safer. But if you’re a POS only(that’s the regular card with the numbers printed on it) let me know. I’m about to buy it
Agent Ginnete Julian
BUY THE GIFT CARD AND SEND WITH THE RECEIPT?
You sent
Are you a POS or should I get the Secure Card
You sent
(Secure card has no numbers. Just a chip)
Agent Ginnete Julian
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN TO YOU?
You sent
But which card should I get? Chip-only, or are you a POS where you need numbers on the card?
Agent Ginnete Julian replied to you
Original message:

Okay. I told him you said you’re a POS. I’m buying the card now. $1300. I’ll text you when I get home

At first I thought it was a typo, but the guy keeps calling it “Goggle” instead of “Google”. Wow. Just, wow.

Nope!
Well that's it! If you actually read this whole thing, I'm super grateful to you. Took me a little while to get my sea legs on in, but I'm hoping other people think some if it is funny. I had several good laughs doing it. And I hope that I "waisted" enough of this scammer's time that maybe at least one potential victim got spared while he we dealing with me.

I did a bit of editing and snipping. We reserve the color green for Mod use. Additionally, your friend is an ITP and their surname was removed, as was yours to protect you. You might have a look at the Eater Rules for additional explanations. We also caution against ever baiting from anything connected to your real life. When you do engage from something like a social media account, you connect the scammer to everyone in your circle.

Re: Proud of my very first SCAM BAIT (Whatcha all think?)
Thank you for your suggestions and cautions! I'm new to this sport. I had planned on rubbing the scammer's face in it at the end. ("Haha you scumbag scammer, I wasted your time...etc.") but opted for just disappearing at the end so that he probably just thought I got wise to the scam just before giving him the gift card numbers. That way, hopefully, he'd just move on disappointed, rather than having a vested interest in trying to get revenge on me. At this point, it's been a few weeks, and I haven't seen anything on my FB or other socials that looks like any kind of response from the scammer, so it looks like I'm in the clear. But yeah, in the future better safe than sorry on that. I'm psyched that this has been published in such amazing company. (A lot of other brilliant scam baits in the forum. Pretty addicting reading!)

Re: Proud of my very first SCAM BAIT (Whatcha all think?)
You definitely made the better choice by not "burning" your lad - we don't want to teach them that we know they are scammers, because once they get over their frustration they'll ask a dangerous question: "How did they know I was a scammer?" We really don't want them to learn and grow in their craft, so we NEVER burn a lad by taunting him for being a scammer. The worst thing we could do is make a scammer think about how he can be more subtle, crafty or realistic... right?
Here's another fantastic reason not to burn a lad.
Hopefully you've seen this already? -- it's a fantastic place to pick up great information.
Addicting??? Never. I've been doing this almost TEN YEARS and I can stop ANY TIME I want!!1! Just because I haven't yet doesn't mean I'm addicted. I know lots of people on this forum who spend hours and hours baiting lads and coming up with more sinister ways of wasting their time, but it doesn't ... mean ...
Oh who am I kidding. Yeah, it's addicting
