Welcome Jambi

I'm glad you've come out of lurking! Belated welcome.

I don't think i posted here, so i will now. I'm a little brat, love all types of scambaiters and scambaiting. While i don't often participate, I've got lots of suggestions, comments and ideas i like to share. I'm located in Ontario Canada, I'm younger than 60 but older than 50, oops that was my outside voice I'm 29 with lots of experience. 🤪🤪 Love to joke around and yes sarcasm is my only talent.

I became interested in scambaiting about 2 years ago and have watched, read ALOT of scambaiters. Hands down my favourite is.... Linoline!! The talent to carry the baits on for so long and her imagination is stellar. I still think she should write a book 😆
I could go on and on and on, but i think i will STFU now 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪 Thanks to each and everyone here, this little community is by far the most welcoming and always answer my stoopid questions.
Happy New Year's to all, let's hope to bait more scammers and fix them like they totally deserve!!!

Welcome LittleBRAT 👋🙂

Hello I'm Rob just found this site I believe that I have been a victim of a romance scammer I'm completely convinced that I was scammed as no information I got from her actually checked out and to be honest it became so clear by the end I just wish I had worked it out sooner iv here the word scambaiting but I'm unsure what it is and how you go about it I would love some advice please

Really sorry to hear you have been a victim. My advice is wait til your emotions have steadied before you consider scambaiting. Use the time to read, learn and keep yourself safe.

Hi, lilrob and welcome to SF. First off, I want to say how sorry I am that you were a victim of a scam. I know from talking with victims how embarrassing and frustrating it can be for you. At this point, you've done everything that you can possibly do: You know it's a scam and you are not going to let it continue. If you have any of the scammer's real information, I'd recommend you report that to your local law enforcement.

I understand your rage and need for some revenge, but trying to bait your scammer is really one of the worst things you can try to do right now. Doing so will bring no satisfaction and might even bring you back into the scam. Scambaiting is sorta like lawyering in the sense that it's best done by someone that is not emotionally attached to the scammer.

If you'd like the names of some victims of scammers' support sites, please send me a message via our PM system and I'll be glad to provide some for you. If you would like to hang around here, let some time go by, and learn how to properly scambait, we'd love to have you stay. Either way, I hope you take time to heal.

Hello. I am realizing I am a bit late to completing my tasks as a new member... Apologies! I am sick of getting called by relatives and them telling me of the new scam going around. Even I have lost some money to this, once I even knew it was but for some reason still complied.

NO MORE! I'm here to help however I can, learn how to put my time to use, and how to report those I have found. Looking for input. best practices, advice, etc. from anyone willing to share.

Thank you!

Im a little behind here. Welcome all new members. It's wonderful to have you

Hi! I am Boonie Stomper. I am all thumbs figuring out how to use this site. (Am I even doing this right, hitting 'Reply' next to Introduce Yourself Here blue box? Or am I overlooking something?)
Anyway, I landed here after winning a huge prize for the third time in 3 weeks from allegedly PCH. Three different caller, from 3 different places and callback numbers given to me once I tired of beating around the bush and told them I would have to call them back.
BTW the scammers called my antiquated landline so it's assumed they have a name and address linked to this number on their dialing list. So I proceed with caution. I also assume for messages left that the number the system says the message is from is spoofed.
That phone, incidentally, gives me loads of exercise both physically (have to jump up & race to answer before 4th ring, or call goes to voicemail), and mentally (have to exercise my creativity, think fast, and choose correct words). I also get loads of satifaction, whatever mood I'm in, leading them on one way or another whilst yielding the callers no value whatsoever.
Approximately 99-1/2% of calls to that number have only their own agenda, to take advantage of anyone they can. Missed calls usually do not leave voice messages. Those that do, get a call to the number they wish called from a different phone, and from SWIM.
The 1st of the 3 PCH calls was this variety. Funny, but even though an unlisted VOIP number called their number, and a different name than the one connected with the landline voicemail, the party reached was able to pull up my information and explain what I won (in more detail after a 2nd callback later that day), trying their best to elicit any possible angle at getting processing money, and ultimately being left with my promise to get back to them after awhile (a longer delay tactic). I submitted a report to the FTC, but somehow I doubt they will actually attemp to take advantage of the active case before it goes dead.
Am I on the right track? The 3rd call is still on the hook til tomorrow (2nd one was released since I was in a hurry)
