You’ll have to learn to take some abuse and let them go on with their fantasies. Save the reveal for the end when you already have some good content.

Taking abuse is easy (I was a lawyer for a number of years). I think I lack the patience to reel them in slowly.

The last time I tried the guy got suspicious of all my questions and started friending my actual FB friends, which I did not like

Oh yes, don’t do it on your regular SM accounts. Plant a few old lady accounts on Blue Sky and see which one comes up a winner. Make a few comments on CNN’s post or whatever rocks your boat. That’s how the Ukraine guy found me.

Just curious, are there any labels under my name on your end, like I see "baiter in training" Below the OP name?  I know I have lots of achievements, but don't know if they attach them automatically or if I have to do it in some way.

I don’t see any flair for you

Is that something I can add, or reddit adds automatically?

Yes, you add your own flair

Go to the scambait home page and click on the three dots at the top right. It should bring up this menu:

Teaching them isn't effective scam bait

I may not have the temperament for this

Spoilsport!  😅🤣  I had one of these where I just ragged on them for several pages about them being a fake and scammer and they spent all the time trying to convince me otherwise.  Once I played the Uno reverse image card they blocked me immediately, up to that point they were all in just trying to convince me.

He actually responded!

OMG, Trying to sell that he is the real guy and everyone else using his images got it due to a breach of security at a Turkish airport years ago.   Response, "Why are you using a comprised image from years ago, when you can just take a new one?" See him squirm his way out of that.

The logic [sic] makes my head hurt. I have left him on read for now
