Hello! This seems to be my first completed bait, as they've stopped getting back to me. I may try to contact them again later. Anyway, I got this email from, supposedly, the "Postmaster General \of United States." It's not much, but perhaps you'll find it entertaining. This color is the Postmaster, and this is my persona, Gillman Chatsworth.
Subject: federal reserve bank of New York
federal reserve bank of New York , God bless you Mrs SUSAN Your .funds $30,Millions united states dollars for you to receive your ATM MasterCard send me your name and your home address (legalp701@gmail.com)
Full Name==========
Home Address========
Available Number======
City===========
Country=========
your Airport ===
(also below each email from the "postmaster general" is what seems to be a copy-and-pasted address of the Postal Service headquarters in ALL CAPS, but I won't waist your time with it.)
I'm not Mrs.Susan, you must be confused. She's really rich. Good for her!
Gillman P. Chatsworth (The name was highlighted in black with white letters for some reason, but doesn't seem to carry over) Your .funds $30,Millions united states dollars for you to receive your ATM MasterCard send me your name and your home address (legalp701@gmail.com)
Full Name==========
Home Address========
Available Number======
City===========
Country=========
your Airport ===
MY funds? I thought they were Susan's I'd hate to steal from her.
He/she persisted, albeit less professionally...
Please send me all your information
But you're looking for Susan. My information is different than Susan's. It's not that difficult...
Perhaps my tone was a bit offensive, because he/she is yet to reply back.

He's still trying to stay on his script that he's using and he's confused by your replies. Make up your own information and supply it to him.
He'll be able to move on at that point and tell you about your funds.

They always try to get information from you first. Name, fake address, etc. Make them think you're a gullible victim and when you've exchanged a bit more messages you can try to get him off script. If you try that too quickly it's too much effort for most scammers and they move on to someone else
Nice work with the layout of the post in different colours, makes it easy to read!

He's still trying to stay on his script that he's using and he's confused by your replies. Make up your own information and supply it to him. He'll be able to move on at that point and tell you about your funds. And move on he did! I made up some fake information and really got the ball rolling. Oh, wait, I think I figured out what's going on. here you go Full Name Gillman P. Chatsworth Home Address 1979 Dewer Blvd. Available Number N/A City Cerro Gordo, IL Country USA your Airport Decatur AirportReceived, thank you.Thank you so much God bless you I receive your information you will receive your ATM card right now You will receive your ATM MasterCard , it will cost something, for your to receive it Your ATM MasterCard $30,Millions united states dollars you have to choose this three companies Who will deliver your ATM card thank you God bless you dear friend DHL ..... $75 UPS .......$100 FedEx......$125Actually, I was thinking. I doubt the card will make it through customs easily. Perhaps you should send equal value in something else instead.Your ATM MasterCard $30,Millions united states dollars you have to choose this three companies Who will deliver your ATM card thank you God bless you dear friend DHL ..... $75
UPS .......$100
FedEx......$125
Can you send the delivery fees , to Western Union or MoneyGram or bitcoin or Apple Card ? ?? (Three question marks? I t must be really important!)Okay, We'll figure that out later. I'm willing to pay more for shipping if you just ship something else. How about jewlery? That's small and makes sense to ship long distance.I figured offering to pay extra money would really entice the Postmaster General.All you have to do is to choose any company who will deliver. Your ATM card is very importantI tried again.Why don't you send jewlery of equal value as the atm card, as to not arouse suspicion.
Now, I could just copy-and-paste their reply. But, to keep their odd formatting, here's a screenshot. ... did he not understand my typo? anyway... I don't know. Just purchase 30 million usd of jewlery and ship it, it doesn't matter what brand.Okay I will do that, but it will cost you $300???Okay, that's fine I guess.Can you send through Western Union or can you send to Bitcoin? $300??Do you accept coinsquirt? (If you don't know what that is, check out Atomic Shrimp's scambaiting on YouTube.)
No, it’s only gift cards and Bitcoin What happened to Western Union?Oh. Just deduct the money from the 30 million, it's okayIt can’t be possible you need to pay the fee firstIt's not possible? Huh, fair enough. Can I send cash or check? Or is that not possible either? I know these banks have strict rules sometimes.Go to the Store and buy $300 Apple Card’s and send me the picture??How many apples? does it matter what type?Only Apple Card, I don’t think it has two typeOh, okay. The store's right down the block, I'll be there in just a few minutes. (that's a lie, but to be fair, so is the 30 mil.) How much?Buy $300 Apple Card’s and send me the picture???Okay, talk to you in a bit.
And now, for a used Apple card I found a photo of online... here you go
Send me the receipt of the card Oh, I dropped it outside the shop.I didn't bother to pick it up.the Postmaster's next message was this: Is he threatening me? It doesn't matter to Gillman, though... okayThe card is not goodIt's not? That's odd. I'll walk over to that store right now and tell them about it! I'll tell them you cant use my gift card they sold me!Am waitingThey say I can't use apple cards to pay DHLYou have to get the $300 Apple Card’sThey won't let me They say this seems to be fradulent.Don’t contact me anymore because I don’t believe youHuh? Why don't you beleive me? This is a very important matter. Though the gift card didn't work, perhaps we can try something else.I asked you to send me the slip of the Apple Card which you refuse so I don’t believe you get itI didn't refuse. I just lost it. I guess I could try to find it. Or we could do another kind of transfer. Yeah, I looked around a bit but couldn't find it. What's that "western union" thing you mentioned.
Then, the Postmaster started a new email...

Subject: Re: federal reserve bank of New YorkGo and get Apple Card’sI told you, they won't let me buy any. Weird. Can you take anything else?
I'm trying to find the receipt. Maye you can help me find it? I do'nt see it,but I'm also not super observant. Can you send to bitcoin so that I will send you the Bitcoin information earlier?I can try
Can you send to bitcoin so that I will send you the Bitcoin information ??I don't have a bitcoin account, but I could set one up.Go to the bitcoin office (to quote the postmaster, ? ??)www.bitcoin.comokay i'm there i thinkThey haven't responded, but I guess that's okay because I talked myself into a corner. How do I set up a bitcoin account for scambaiting? I guess if anyone has a bitcoin wallet for scambaiting, maybe you could help me out? Anyhoo, that's all for now.

You haven't backed yourself into a corner. Just turn left.
"Hi scammer,
I was going to a Bitcoin machine that is down on Summer Street so that I could withdraw some and get my fees paid, but I twisted my ankle stepping off of a curb. I thought it was broken because I could not stand at the time. Two people came and helped me to move off of the street and call an ambulance. I'm currently in the hospital getting my ankle x-rayed. The doctor doesn't think it's broken, so that is good news.
What is another option for me to pay the fee? I had to pay the doctor the 300 dollars that I was going to use to pay you, but I get paid again in a week."
Or anything like that. Try to think like a real victim and write as if you truly believed you were going to get the money. Keeping the scammer investing time in your character and story will pay dividends down the road with trophies and maybe even a safari.
Remember that he will probably not understand you if you try to go off the beaten path too much. Keep him emailing by asking open-ended, simple questions that he will have to answer. "How is this legal?" "How do I pay taxes?"
The bottom line is that you are baiting him and you are wasting his time, so the mission is already accomplished! Now, just learn from your interactions with him and become even better.

gillman - Never rush or offer the scammer anything willingly. Let him request and answer him with delay, so that he becomes impatient. Never forget that "the money is in your pocket", so you are the one who controls the game. You make the rules, not the scammer! Don't be embarrassed to say NO, when you don't want to do/say something. Good luck!

Welp. You may be wondering why I suddenly stopped updating this. Well, I sent out a few similar emails to try to hook scammers, but the system's algorithm marked them as scams. Fair enough, I guess. But, after a few weeks of debate with Mailfence support, it has become clear that I must abandon the inbox and all its ongoing baits. Apparently, getting my inbox back up and running is a "premium" service. Even if I had a credit card and could pay, it is ridiculous. I have set up a new inbox, however, and hope to post more of my scambaiting adventures soon.
