Good evening all! My name is MrMarl3y I am currently in school for cyber security. Today I ran across videos and scambaiting and I live it! I have been personally been doing this for years, although, not as good or in as much detail as I see people doing. After being hooked all day, I am planning my own scam baiting fun. I look forward to reading more and look forward to getting a chance to learn from other people. This is a great way for me to work out my red team skills as my ultimate goal is to be hired for red team.

Welcome, MrMarl3y!

I have been a consultant to a cyber security school so I'm cheering you on there 8-) We are far more under the radar than a lot of the youtubers out there, but I like to think we cause the scammers far more long-term disruption and ... er ... trauma of sorts. One of our fun goals is to get the bad guys to tell us about their bank accounts so we can get the money systems disrupted. That's a very painful event for a scammer!

Read through the site, grab a very safe baiting address, and let us know how we can cheer you on or guide you!

Evening everyone,

Who knows I might finally learn something. :lol: :lol:

'...I think it's an American curse that most of us think we are special. ... everyone believes themselves to be superior to the majority of the population in some way. Sometimes it's their looks, other times their perceived sex appeal (often in obvious defiance of their looks), and other times it is their real or imagined talent for acting, writing, painting or banging on the drums. And because people are so susceptible to flattery, there exists an entire industry made up of scam artists whose sole goal is to fleece the flatterable...'

Welcome, Cossie!

The good news is scammers are also susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger effect ;-)

Great to have you here - read through the forum rules & tips, and please don't hesitate to ask if you have questions!

Hello everyone. I love Scambaiting because it's a morally sound way to annoy someone (more specifically a scammer). I think that the main goal should be to waste the scammer's time and that while getting amusement should not be the primary goal, it should be enjoyed when it just happens to occur.

Howdy all. Its been MANY years since I played around here (maybe 2013 ish?) and remember having a lot of fun working love scammers. No idea what name I used back then so a new profile is born.

For now, looking forward to catching up and finding my way around the new (to me) digs.

Thanks Kitty!

I think I used <Removed - bware419ers> back then. And I just realized THIS username is one I use elsewhere so mebbe I should think of a new one if the old one isn't found.

I like Chris P Bacon or (Captain Caveman to fit my avatar?) as an alternative to an exhaustive email search.

Hello. I was into scam baiting in 2010-2012 and recently decided I needed I could use a hobby again. I wasn't involved in the community back then but I figured why not be now. Things seem a lot different then they were back then, but I have to say those chatbot calls are some of the funniest stuff I've heard in a long time.

Great to have you join us, whiterhabbit! If anyone tells you baiting scammers is addictive, don't believe them. I've been doing this for nearly a decade and I can quit ANY TIME I feel like it. I just don't feel like it right now. Yeah. But if I wanted to, I could. That's how NOT addictive it is. Also, the first one is free.

Read the posts, grab a lad, and join in on the fun!

I'm new here. Just saying hello. I'm not a scambaiter, just an observer at this point, though that may change when I get more into it all.

Hello! I have enjoyed looking at your site, and have shared it with a few friends. I joined so I could find out what some of the things mean, such as "Why do these people have a fish on their head?" LOL. I lived a sheltered life!

Welcome, EmeraldEyes! I believe the philosophical answer to your question is, "why NOT have a fish on their heads?" But you are probably looking for something more concrete. It did have some religious overtones, but the religion was wholly invented by our community. The goal was to get a scammer to do something outlandish in a photo, and it worked! Just as scammers can convince people to turn over their hard-earned cash in a ruse, we can also get scammers to do unwise things, and we have the photographic evidence to prove it.

Nowadays we often prefer to make them do more practical things, such as give us the bank details of their victims so we can intervene before damage is done. It's almost as gratifying as a photo of a fish on someone's head.

The cure for a sheltered life is to learn how you too can get fish photos! (Or better yet, bank account details!) Let us know if you'd like to join in on the fun :D
