A good bait with autobaiter version 2
Arnie Leapzorp is a hick farmer. To see more about his background, see Arnie
Leapzorp meets Ammed Aideed.
This bait is supposedly with an orphan whose parents died and left
money in a bank. "Judith" is no doubt a male. 29 emails
were
exchanged with the orphan and 9 emails were to the bank.
There are some interesting points about this bait.
- The computer correctly classifies this as a "lone
survivor" type scam.
- The program had a bugs, so I manually typed
enhancements twice.
- A Western Union receipt was automatically generated
successfully.
- The computer recognized that the scammer wanted images
from
me, and it responded with an attachment (of a corrupted file).
- The computer successfully found that the scammer had a
cohort (a banker, Dr Mc Donarld Michel) at
a different email account.
- The computer recognized attachments from the cohort
and responded.
- When an email is sent to the scammer's cohort
the computer always sends a copy to the primary scammer (Judith). This
keeps both of them occupied with Arnie's inanities.
Unfortunately, I was using HotPop as
an email provider and the company that runs it seems to have
disappeared near the end of the bait. I tried sending and
downloading email for 2 weeks to no avail. There were around 45
baits
going on with the program, and they all abruptly ended. HotPop was
always unreliable and quite slow at times.
What follows is the computer's log of the bait. Colors and
enlarged typefaces were manually added. Yahoo advertisements were
removed.
The
scammer email is in blue.
My added comments are
highlighted in yellow.
The computer replies
(Arnie) are in black.
Just below the /\/\/\ headers
for Arnie are a line of information used in the email reply. The
send-mail program uses that line to get the email address
and subject. The Dialog # in each heading is
screwed up when there is cohort correspondence, which is stored in the
primary scammer history file.
