------ Scambaiting Method 3: Facebook Groups ------
First, you’re going to need to make a fake Facebook, as well as a fake Skype & Whatsapp. (Both Skype and Whatsapp are optional but helpful, personally, I’ve never bothered with Whatsapp but it’d be helpful)
*SKYPES CAN BE MADE WITH DISPOSABLE EMAILS*
*I’d suggest making the account have an Indian sounding name, you can use this website to help with your info: https://fakenametool.net/generator/male/en_IN/india *
A profile picture is not required, but if you don’t want to use something from google you can make a fake company logo https://www.postermywall.co (I just made a fake company name and put it over a background in the “Instagram post” option)
Next, you’ll need to educate yourself on some terminology. Most of the info you’ll need to know is covered in this post that I made (Thanks to NeeP for clarifying the definitions): http://scammer.info/d/20368-can-someone-explain-some-terminology-to-me
However some of the definitions you’ll need can be found with a simple google search or by paying attention to the Facebook groups.
This brings me into the next topic: Joining groups.
This is fairly straightforward, below I’ve linked over 100 tech scammer facebook groups..
In these groups, they buy & sell information, successful campaign data, popups, etc.
In some of these, they offer jobs in call centers (most of these are done over the phone or through Whatsapp texting/facebook messenger, which is why you might want Whatsapp)
I’ve been able to get scammer call center addresses by pretending to be someone looking for a job, and basically just asking for the address to “see if I’m within walking distance”. This’ll require a lot of creativity on your part because it’s almost never that straight forward getting information out of them. You need to give them a reason to give you the address without seeming too demanding or desperate, and since every situation is different and every “employer” is different, I can’t tell you what to do SPECIFICALLY.
The second way to Scambait in these groups is by pretending to be a buyer. A lot of these people use bank transfers, so you can get bank account info and names if they offer a bank transfer. Just say “Hey, do you accept bank transfers” and if they say yes, say “Can I have the info so I can transfer the money”. Obviously, I’m being very basic with my examples, but it’s a very straightforward process. You don’t need to do a lot, because they’re expecting money from YOU anyway. Same thing with other forms of payment. All payment methods will pretty much give you something to work with, except Bitcoin. Once they give you the info you need, just leave them on read. If word gets out that you’re a scammer, you’ll have a lot of difficulties in the Facebook groups.
Another way to get information is to pose as a seller of information, you can create graphics in www.postermywall.com to use as advertisements, or look at other ads in the groups to get an idea of what you’ll need to say. This goes without saying but ONLY ADVERTISE PRODUCTS / SERVICES YOU KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT!! To be honest, this method has never really appealed to me. However NEVER SCAM THESE PEOPLE, IT'S ILLEGAL TO SCAM.
