Introductory Guide to 419 Scambaiting

This Person Does Not Exist

Some scambaiters recommend creating two new emails: one for collecting scam emails and another for replying to scam emails. However, creating one for both is fine, which is what I did. I recommend using Outlook, AOL, ProtonMail, or Yahoo since Gmail is good at preventing scams. The first step is to create a fake identity: prepare information such as a name, address, occupation, and date of birth. When selecting an address, select a non-residential building, a police station, or an address without a building. The second step is to create an email using this fake identity. If you would like, go to ThisPersonDoesNotExist to generate a profile picture for the account. An optional step is to download a VPN, but this is not required since most online email services don’t send your IP address.
