"Sugarbabies" / "Arrangements" Amateurs or Not?

[QUOTE=FarFarAway;5644100]Just one note of caution. There are infinite ways that you can get in trouble on SA w / the proprietors. They don't like your photos, they don't like some of your messages, etc. If they never look at them, though, you're OK. They have a lot on their plate. IF you complain, though, they have a reason to take a look at this stuff, and then they decide you've done something wrong and ban you. Needless to say, from posts we see fairly often, it doesn't come easy to get yourself back on. IK this has happened to me, for no good reason, even after being on the site a few years. IF I am having trouble w / a girl, the very very first thing that I do is block her. That way, she can't access my profile to report me.

While it might feel good to punish a scammer by getting them banned, this pales in comparison to the trouble you will face if you yourself get banned, merely by drawing attention to your profile. I am sure you can make your own choices, balancing self-interest with a sense of justice and community well-being.[/QUOTE]My premium was expiring yesterday and there was a few conversations that stalled. So I sent a few messages to some POTS inviting them to switch over to my texting number. In response the mods deleted those messages.

Now, I have moved many a conversation to text (I mean, who doesn't? So the only thing I can think of is that I did it with three SBs in quick succession. But now of course I'm worried that captured the gaze of the eye of sauron and could be hair-triggered banned at any moment.

For the moment I have no urgent reason to reactivate, so I'll just let things cool off for now.

Started with the tales of how she's been taken advantage of. Smell as ask for advance coming.

[QUOTE=BagIt;5648386]25% off on seeking website now.[/QUOTE]I actually got an email with a 33% code. But I cannot get it to work on the app, as there is no way to enter a promo code. It only shows up on the website, which won't let me used Google Pay, while the app will. I can buy Google pay anonymously with cash at many stores.

Anyone have a solution to get the discount while using Google pay?

Norm!

Norm![/QUOTE]Yeah, shoot! Just checked & didn't get the 33% off email. Logged on and saw the banner for 25% off but a popup window had me paying the full fare, when I selected the other options it was still full fare and the 25% banner was gone! LOL! My luck!

Anyway you could share that code here or via PM?

Any reports on this one? [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/30f547f3-0c74-4462-ad23-aecd183100ef[/URL].

Trying to set something up but our schedules haven't worked out. From chatting with her seems she has been fairly high volume of dates from the website. No set allowance or PPM but says guys are tipping anywhere from $3 to $6. She hosts in her apartment downtown. Hoping someone here on the boards can share a review.

Thanks.

I am noticing a certain type of fake profile these days. A gorgeous 30's woman, happy to engage in convo on the site. I have even gotten some of them off the site to text or messaging apps (Telegram). They get into big discussions about cryptocurrency, how they're making millions, etc. However, sometimes they suddenly show up on the site with a totally different location, even in another country. I don't really think they are traveling, I'd wager they are using a VPN into the country they are alleging to be from. Whether that is outside the US or inside it is a question. This can be very deceptive and obviously a bit of a time-waster. IDK what the game is, I haven't had any of them try to get me to Venmo them $ or get me to buy pix.

Oh, yeah. Weird - they are often asking me if I have eaten a meal. Lunch, dinner. WTF?

Also ran into a girl who was trying to engage me in ppm negotiations on the site, would not give her number, ony wanted to text. So not sure if we have LE, BOTs or some kind of vigilanti group going on?

Anyone had dealings with this one recently on SA? Any info is helpful. Thanks.

Don't waste your time. Interested in online only, selling pics and vids [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/bea36e75-9ced-40ea-ab7c-d82251ff4e66[/URL].

I could be wrong, but seem to recall a time when reporting profiles that did not want to meet in person was an option. Pre-Covid maybe? Anyway, frustrating that they allow this to go on. Seems to be more of them popping up on there these days.

Doesn't look 35, pics are too glam for your average SB.

Anyone get anywhere?

It seems that if I go back later and look in my messages or blocked members most of those have changed to 'attractive member' so I assume they got banned themselves.

What makes me wonder though, unless I (we) use some type of language that specifically discusses sex for money why is SA so aggressive in banning men? Yes they have to be careful but we are their cash cow and it is expensive month after month if you keep a premium membership.

When I really take a good look, after removing all the obvious scammers and girls that haven't been on for months at a time that the quantity of active and available women is much less than it seems and SA wants you to believe there are. Granted I have done well on SA, even in little Delaware, but it comes a a cost.

PH.

[QUOTE=PinHead11;5656286]I have gone the same way here with just blocking the person right away. .[/QUOTE]If they mention PPM I report them.

If they say they just want to sell pics / vids, I report them under COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.

If they are using fake pics I report them.

Have to cover your ass. Not sure you earn any brownie points, but I'd rather draw first than have them report me because I called them out -- which you should never do. A woman scorned and all that.
