A bit of an intermission before the Jenny-Stanley story continues….
Dealing with one's pet is more of an art than a science. There are times that your pet needs some loving, and times when your pet needs a swift kick in the nuts. Most people just starting out in scambaiting quickly become discouraged, as their pet doesn't always do what is asked of them. This series of emails between Penfold and Stanley will show how a swift kick in the groin, followed up by some tender loving care, can hook your lad even further. Plus, it possibly helps you understand how Stanley can do some of the things that he's going to do to try and con this church.
First of all, it's important to remember that in scambaiting there are some hard and fast rules. At least these rules are hard and fast for members of 419eater. They are as follows:
1) No hacking into a lads email account
2) No getting involved in someone else's bait without permission
3) No sabotaging an existing bait
4) The #1 goal of any bait is to occupy the time and resources of the scammer. I've managed to close down 100's of scammers bank accounts. I'm much prouder of that than I am of the pictures and forms that I've gotten from the scammers.
In the case of Stanley I wasn't the one that hooked him. It was another baiter on 419eater that convinced him of the Network. I was invited into the bait to play the role of Penfold Gerbil, an expert computer hacker who worked under Mohinder, the head of IT for the Network. The original baiter got occupied by real life, and I kinda took over, with other experienced baiters joining in. We coordinated all of our plans though, with different experienced baiters taking on different roles. The result was a bait that put Stanley through hell for almost a full year.
Not all baiters subscribe to the above rules, however, and I was getting really pissed off by some assclown that had managed to hack into Stanley's email account, and was sending me 2-3 dumbass emails a day. Not only that, but he made it obvious to Stanley that his account had been hacked. As silly as it might seem, the possibility does exist that law enforcement could actually be monitoring an email account. Hacking into the account and acting like an idiot simply causes the scammer to open another email account, and law enforcement could be out in the cold.
To make matters worse, not only had Stanley's box been hacked, but he had been lax with security at the internet café he used, and other scammers were getting my email address. Below is an email I received from a scammer:
Hello Penfold Gerbil,
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise, But please take your time to read and understand the mindset of the person writing this mail.
My name is Gregory Chigozie Adams, permit to say here that I stole your contact ID from a fellow Nigerian whom I know has been working with you for some time now. I also know you have helped him with a couple of jobs for him to actualize. Some he has been able to work on ,the others he has failed not because of his inefficiency but maybe because he has too many jobs to take care of.
I'm a street boy, that's how we address ourselves here in NIGERIA. A full blown Nigerian, I'm into this thing called internet fraud. You will agree with me that if you must grow or reach your altittude in any endeavour you find yourself, then you must stand in the shoulders of those who has gone ahead of you.
I know you are a man of many jobs and it will be my greatest priority to work with you. I know this might come to you as a setup but it's not, you may tend to look at it as someone trying to cast aspersion on your integrity, please never mind. It's a burning desire born out of desperation.
I will want you to try me just this once with an ESTATE job and see if I have the capabilty to work with you. I know this could be the beginning of a great relationship that will eventually grow to benefit the both of us.
No doubt you will appreciate this move I have made today. I have summed up the courage to talk to you first on behalf of my friend whom I stole this contact from. I have tried to get a formal introduction through him but he has always refused.
I hope when you reply this message it will be my appointment letter from you Master.
Sincerely,
GREGORY ADAMS
Now the fun thing is that Stanley had been pimping the Network to his friends. But this guy had stolen my email addie from him, and was trying to horn in on Stanley's riches. Penfold was not happy that security had once again been breached, and sent the following to Stanley:
Captain
We have a problem. Do you know this person that goes by the name of Gregory? He could be real, or he could be a cop.
Please explain how you allowed our correspondence to be ready by someone outside of the network. This is a major problem Captain.
What ideas do you have concerning this person?
Penfold
Hello Brothers,
I don't know him He is a trator, I think they are rivals in Nigeria. He must Identify himself face to face with me before he can gain identity into the network.
How do we start the church game i have sent the pics to the moon man (moon man is another baiter who is an upper-up in the Network).
lets start the bait brothers.
Captain.
There is no honor amongst thieves in Nigeria. Penfold is still not happy with Stanley:
