Hi everyone!

I'm new to love scam and I want to have my try at it. I already started two contacts, but one of them now asked for a picture of me. Where do you people get pictures to send to scammers?

Of course the internet is full of pictures and google image search gives me many of them. But if my scam is going to ask for another picture, or if I want to send a second one for another reason, I will need two matching pictures of the same person. Where can I find a serie of pictures of the same person in various poses, but also from various places? And all that in the age range and ethnicity I claim to be.

I guess that once I did some baiting on both genders, I can send the pictures I got from one scammer to another scammer. Do you people do that?

Thanks.

Think of a celeb. Not a really REALLY famous one like Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson, but someone more associated with TV or a DJ or maybe an author. Type their name into Google search and look at the pictures. You'll find plenty of "natural" pictures of them that you can use. Minor celebs are easy to find online and you can build up a nice collection of them to send to your lad.

Welcome to the forum

Ask for a picture first and then for a second one.

You can stall sending a picture for a while. You dont have a scanner, scanner broke down. You have one but don't know how to use it, can he explain how to use it.

take it easy on your baits don't rush. if you need help just ask.

Another thing about the photos. If you open it and then save it as a TIF you can increase it's size by many factors. A gig photo is not out of the realm. A few of those sent to the vlad will take him a while to open. If vlads are like lads, I am sure that all information about you will be sent to his olga or Volga. Waste some more of their time.

They love photos. I found that you can slap them from one side of the room to another, tell them that the better part of them ran down their daddy's pants and if you send them a photo in the same email they will remain your loyal baited wonder.

Also remember don't send fake passports, IDs or anything like that, as the scammer can and will re-use them.

Romance scammers are less likely to ask for ID than most of the other types. That's not to say it doesn't happen, but it happens in a much smaller percentage than say next of kin scams. They do often ask for a picture of you though. Having a few photos ready to send the scammer if they ask makes you look more like a normal victim. Who wouldn't want the new love of their life to know what they look like after all? My opinion is send photos, but no documents unless it's a fake form for them to fill in.

My romance scammers always tell me I'm very handsome.

After they look at this picture passport.jog

Or, after they look at my 1.5-3mb renamed dll.

IGNORE the request for your picture!!!!!!!!!!

Most of these requests are just part of the script!!!

I've only had 1 or 2 stop the scam because I didn't send a picture.

I've only sent a picture once or twice this year.

Don't send one! You may see additional requests for pictures, but they still fall in love and want money, even if you don't send one.

They will still talk about how handsome you are, and how her mother thinks you look like her dashing uncle!!!!!

The most rewarding method to bait the russians is with MINIMAL effort. Don't get involved in creating a detailed story on your end, send pictures, nothing. They still 'fall in love'.

It all depends on if you're baiting a lad or a vlad. Vlads will ask you for a picture and thank you for sending one whether you sent one or not because it's how their scripts are written. I've had ones even talk about how they've laminated my picture I never sent and showed it to all their family and friends. Lads on the other hand are a different kettle of fish. Some of them will ask for a picture, and some will become suspicious if you can't supply one. It's all down to the fact vlads are all mass scripted emails while lads give you the personal touch.

Thank you for all replies! Much appreciated.

Reading all that it seems I've been way too nice to my scammers so far. Smile

I will go look for some pictures of lesser-known celebrities from my country.

But given they script their first few emails (So that's why the emails have been much shorter lately...) and they possible never look at the picture, plus given that one of my scammers just sent me two pics that look like two different persons... I understand that pictures are not as important at all as I thought.

Thanks!

Some 'interesting' photo sets on Usenet. Look for groups beginning 'alt.binaries' and containing the words 'erotic(a)', 'senior' and 'citizen(s)'... Wink

For those looking for picture sets to aid in their baiting pursuits, I offer you someone who is near and dear to my heart.

He previously got lucky with a couple of Vladettes and a beautiful model stranded in Nigeria. He's an eccentric fellow, but the ladies seem to love him.

He's been in retirement for a couple months now and is eager to get back on the scene!

Some of you may know him as the Colonel. Very Happy

You forget, KFC is all over the place. They may recognize the 'Colonel'! They may think you are a 'fast food' tycoon!

I did use the pictures of an elderly Blugrass star in a couple of baits, though.
