"Listen to me, and listen to me very attentively"
Why do 419 scammers use that quote so much?

They want control of the conversation and of their victim. Scammers are not laid back or shy and we, as baiters, can use that to our advantage! Wresting control away from him can put him/her off balance and allow us to get him/her to do what we want. On the other hand, by being passive we can lull the scammer into believing that they have us right where they want us right up until they're, once again, doing what we want them to do.

Like Just Cold said, the scammers prefer to be in control of the conversation.
I have myself experienced and seen other's experience where scammers will nuke their whole scam over the fact they are not in control.
Normally (not always) your Ghana or Nigerian scammer will put up with a lot over time and not reveal... some do. The Indian scammers are VERY quick to nuke their own scam and actively harm their own scam and creditability if they aren't in control of the conversation.
I always find it amusing, when a scammer does everything they can to ruin any chance they could of had to scam someone just because they weren't in control of the conversation.

I have some theories about "Listen to me." One is that Lads are often using voodoo when they say it, believing that the victim will be forced to listen; another is that Lads act in a dominating fashion to compensate for their own inadequate lives.
On a personal level, Captain Mal takes being told "Listen to me" badly ("I am listening!"), particularly if the Lad is uttering "Say what?" and the like. "I've got a perforated eardrum, what's your excuse?"

Pricky must have been smoking Indian hemp and editing posts again, he quoted me but I never said "seems like it’s a way to scare the victim". I think someone was quoting me , and Pricky tried to consolidate the post and mistakenly quoted me saying it.  |
