Why don’t we create a lexicon for scambaiting? That is, we identify recurring techniques used by scammers and by baiters and give those techniques cool names. For example, we already use “Safari” for all forms of coerced scammer travel. These nominations are NOT perfect, they are just offerings for discussion. To nominate a new word/name, lets use something like the following format and first nominee:
Word/Name/phrase: “greed injection”
Definition: When a baiter attempts to make the scammer believe that the scammer has underestimated how much money the scammer can take from the mugu.
Usage: “The scammer lost patience with Mr. Pricky until Pricky did a greed injection by mentioning his bitcoin account.”
Word/Name/phrase: “Cleared memory” or “Patrick Star maneuver”
Definition: When a baiter re-asserts a controversial proposition after the baiter has already conceded the point to the scammer.
Usage: “The scammer took ten minutes to convince Pricky that the scammer didn’t work for Barrister Mensa. But a few minutes later Pricky cleared his memory and told the scammer that Mensa said that Mensa was the scammer’s chairman.”
Word/Name/Phrase: “Mounting”
Definition: When a baiter or a scammer attempts to verbally dominate the conversation in an attempt to take control of the immediate condition of the scam or bait.
Usage: “Mr. Pricky mounted the scammer by yelling ‘Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking,’ about ten times until the scammer actually stoped talking.”
Word/Name/Phrase: “Treasure swapping”
Definition: when the baiter transitions the scammer away from the scammer’s target money to a different source of money.
Usage: “The scammer was after bitcoin, but Mr. Pricky treasure swapped the scammer to a wire transfer.”
Word/Name/Phrase: “Forced comms”
Definition: When a baiter forces a scammer to use one particular form of communication.
Usage: “Mr. Pricky received an email from the scammer and it took Pricky a week to force comms to a cellphone.”
That is just a few examples that I could come up with … I’m sure we can all think of more cool phases and we can find better phrases for the ones I have listed here. This may be something that only interests me, but I like the idea of giving names to compound things we always enjoy experiencing.
