[QUOTE=Walruscl;5578457]Agreed that I'm seeing 300-400 is most common. I've had a couple of GPS head cases: one wanted $500 plus $100 for travel-which was like a 15 minute drive, another wanted $1 K per meet.
Though I'm finding that the fake / flake count is much higher than before. Seems like SA gets more difficult every time I dip back into the bowl. 75% of the SB's don't even read the messages I send, WTF?
A recent sketchy experience was a very hot 21 why / o gymnast. Claimed that she would come to me (over an hour drive, so that's good), immediately negotiated 300 ppm, even with the drive. All went fast and smooth, almost too much so. The morning of our date she says her car got towed but doesn't have funds to cover it. Doesn't ask for money, just says I'd need to come her way. I wasn't feeling well that morning anyway so told her we could reschedule. She agreed to that but we haven't set a date yet.
Anyone else seen a long-play scam that starts out with "my car got towed"? On one hand the timing was too convenient. On the other hand, there was no obvious attempt to cash out.[/QUOTE]Yes it's becoming more common for some scammers to play the long game. No indication of asking for anything upfront and then the day / hour of some misfortune befalls them and the whole thing falls through unless you patch it up with "just 25-50 Dollars."
