Scambait Safety, am I overthinking it? I stumbled across [James Veitch's TED talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QdPW8JrYzQ) some time ago, and have wanted to try this, but am worried I could somehow put myself at risk through something I didn't consider. A couple of things are I decidedly will *not* be using fake ID. I like the idea of scamming around the ID issue [like this 419eater post](https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=206100), but will have to figure out a persona to build for it. If I have to learn to BS my way around it for a while with failed baitings, I'll just keep going until I get one. The issues I'm concerned with are my location and my computer. Do I need to go so far as to set up a virtual machine if I'm not dealing with tech support scammers? Should I do it to view attachments? I plan on using gmail's webmail service, so do I need to worry about concealing my location via TOR or some other means? I was planning on using a VM with [TAILS](https://tails.boum.org/index.en.html), which is a Linux-based TOR live-image operating system. I've been looking around and can't find much on these questions, and any input would be appreciated.
