Hello,

Nathan here, 22 years old hailing from MD

I've been interested in 419 baiting since last month when I saw the Ted talk of James Vietch on YT. It never really occurred that much to me before, but after seeing him do the Lord's work I have become very fascinated with the whole concept.

I have been contemplating getting some friends together to bait as a group, and I know some people who have a lot of experience with improv acting (IDK if that's a useful skill, but I assume so).

I have been looking for resources on how to get started until I found this site. I went ahead and read through all your very useful help/FAQ page, which already seems to answer most of my questions.

Mainly, I've been looking for a reliable way to get spam emails. Looking around at Google, Outlook and Yahoo, they seem to have automatic spam filters now that prevents email from even appearing in the junk folder, and they can't be turned off. I assume either there's something I'm not doing right, or there's "worse" free email service out there that is more commonly used. Maybe I just need to sign up for that Transit service you have?

Anyway, pleased to meet you Smile

Hey and welcome. Sounds like baiting could be your thing, and hopefully you'll have a lot of fun here!

Make a couple of baiter email accounts (gmail works fine) if you haven't already, and jump in. Here's a link to help you finding some lads to play with:

Welcome Nathan,

I suggest you have a look in Surplus to get you started.
https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18

Pick one you like the look of and respond with a short e-mail along the lines of "I'm interested, please tell me more" and go from there.
Bear in mind that to start the lad will probably be responding to you with scripted responses.

Also you may want to sign-up for The Cherrie Mentoring Program and have an experienced baiter assigned to you to answer your questions and help you with the basics of baiting and finding your way around Eater.

Welcome to Eater! Are you from Maryland or Moldova?

Removed quote of previous post. Just think of this as a conversation! - bware419ers

Lol, that would be Maryland. Originally the country but I've moved closer to Baltimore.

Welcome to Eater. Look at the top of your page. It should look something like this:

Click that area that says "Messages (new)." There is a Welcome PM in there for you to read that provides lots of helpful advice to get you started!

Woah, I actually missed that! Would have been easier if it was highlighted, bold or something lol. Thanks!

What is the secret to good crab cakes? Mine are always dense and gooey inside instead of light and flaky.
