baiting stories ought to come to mind!
I began a massbait using this article which was brought to my attention by Additional_Orchid_14 (Miss Orchid). She had found an interesting newsstory of the heist and said it might be good for a bait. So I mailed this out to several hundred lads. Each mail was sent out individually to avoid spam filters and included a unique Grabify link tied to each recipient:
Only one lad replied sadly. He had an IP coming from the Mushin area of Lagos:How far bro? I don msg you bcus my boy Chinny talk say you be a good job guy. I need a partner in Cotonou Benin to receive funds from clients. Shey you fit take the job bro? My boys don already hammered well well, this don come from Toronto airport from client to-day: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ ... -1.6817345
