"Sugarbabies" / "Arrangements" Amateurs or Not?

I had some trouble with prepaid cards recently, so I just renewed using paypal. I'm not married (have a live-in SO) so I'm not worried about subpoenas and such. I really wanted to keep things as anonymous as possible for the hack & leak issue you mentioned, but its not the end of the world if so, because I've done nothing illegal.

I would not do this if I were married or my assets were on the table in any way.

I don't worry about it. I'm divorced 13 years. Most of my friends know I'm all about fun and that I like younger women. Only risk I see is if you're a married guy. Maybe I'm naive.

How is everyone paying for SA now? I use to be able to run a gift card through, after using my monger info to register the card and fill out SA's credit approval form, but now the Visa Gift Card isn't working. SA is running these cards through Hong Kong now (gift cards can not be used internationally). Is there another way? I don't want to use real credit card info. Look at all the hacks and leaks of members. Thank you.

I use my paypal, because if someone tries to hack, I can get PP to fix it. Since I am single I have no worries about anyone looking at my PP purchases. Have not had any problems with SA though because it is month-to month and they don't try to repeat / auto-pay. SD4 Me on the other hand will repeat bill your credit card unless you write to them immediately and request to drop repeat billing. I don't use them anymore because virtually nothing in the SW VA area. There used to be good POT's on there and I met several good ones but their female customer base has gone elsewhere. For the most part I avoid sites that want a credit card because it usually leads to a hack. If I need that I'll get another prepaid CC.

Another reason to be super careful.

My SB's SO found an old text of mine and broke up with her.

Because it was from almost two years old it was back before I was using GV. As easy as it is to get a name and address from a cell number on the internet, I had visions of a knock on my door while the wife and I were watching TV one night.

Luckily, not only is my SB young, drop dead good looking and sexy AF, she's super smart. A couple of weeks later when we could get together again she showed me the text. She had given my number a fake girls name, a pet name she made up for me.

Definite lesson learned for you newer Daddies. Burner phone with google voice and her phone has your fake number under a girls name. Congrats on becoming a BFF.

I have her in my phone as a old customers name, a Dupont engineer that retired.

CYA 101, but the alternative is ugly and expensive.

The sad thing is I loved her being in love and taken. There trying to get back together.

She dropped the Big L word on me at about 9 months in but she loved the way our lives were too. I think we genuinely have developed feeling for each other but know we had the perfect arrangement for both of us back then.

Keeping a little space to see if they can patch it up. The text he saw was a bit sexual but not like it would have been a few months later when they were more emotional. I think it just looked like she had hooked up.

To be continued.

Posting this as a public service. Please don't PM me for her digits because it's not happening. She's not a SA girl. I met her when she was working at a front desk in a college town (still a coed) at a upscale hotel I stayed at often enough to chat her up a bunch, then take her out for coffee after work a couple of times (Starbucks is like crack to these 20 somethings).

She was struggling financially and I had some spare play money, nice coincidence.

Wow, very nice.

Big pot head. Not that pretty, maybe a 6 but a body and attitude that is a 10. The girl knows how to please a man. Two hours, two shots, and $$. 5. She never skipped a beat when I told her let's go again. The girl definitely has skills. Almost total deep throat. She told me she practices with a dildo. Got to love it.

They are there for the picking but one has to be patient. It's also $ and time intensive.

[Helion]

Don't let those eggs hatch in your brain, bro. Paranoia will destroy ya.

I would just leave it all alone. Anyone searching for you would have to go through the same BS. Plus if they really did have your # , they can't do much. You can just say it was stolen. Not worth the risk to mess with.

I know this may seem super cautious, but I recall being on one of those predator sites at one point, which had a search function, and was tempted to search for my number. However, it occurred to me that if I were that site, I would take all such inquiries and turn them around. Send texts to the number, saying you are on our site and you need to pay to be taken off. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone else think the world is this devious?

If you made contact w / that girl initially through SA, I sure hope you reported her to them. Heck, put up the info about her here. Sometimes they could be lazy and try to use the same pix over again, or the same patter. Just putting up the SA link isn't as good b / c 1) some of us don't have active accounts and 2) if you report her and the page is deleted, no one will be able to see it.

The contact was made through CL so there was nothing to report. I knew it was a scam and more importantly I had done nothing unlawful. She replied to me, there was nothing sexual discussed.

Just checked a site and the photos are hosted my imgur. Shouldn't be a problem getting them removed. But if you google the numbers it comes up toward the top of the search results. F**king asshats. I was emailing with a girl that told me twice she was 19. A day later I get an email saying she's 16 and they were her parents and if I didn't come up with some money they were going to go to the authorities. I knew it was a scam as I hadn't talked to her about anything other than meeting for coffee. I told them to go get f**ked. Be careful out there. I'm 60, and just when I think I've seen it all. Boom!

I'm just surprised nobody asked if there was an echo in here. I was scanning posts in a hurry and didn't see that you already covered this, FFA.

Goes w / the territory these days- I'm no longer an elite member, so my posts must be reviewed before appearing -.

First time she squirted. She's officially in love. LOL.

I remember someone (possibily in another thread) saying they were able to get their pic removed by informing Imgur.com of the extortion attempt and simply asking for removal. They are using Imgur.com to host those images -- most small time crook sites like predatorsalert won't invest heavily in storage of their own content, because it would leave a traceable trail to them, even if in another country they could get extradited to US for federal charges on something like this. It doesn't change the fact the phone number might still be posted, but hopefully most SDs are using burner phones and not giving them the chance to find out real name.

Don't quote me on the URL, as I understand it is tricky to get right, but something like predatorsalert.com. It consists of photos of guys and their phone #s, and accusations such as 'offers $ for sex'. If you pay them $ you can get your pic taken down. I believe people have gotten texts from the site alerting them to being on it and suggesting they pay. Flat-out extortion. Put yourself in a position where you can ignore this. Some people have evidently been successful getting photos taken down by DMCA requests to their photo host, imgur.com. There are other strategies. Perhaps search these threads with a keyword like predator to see what others have experience. They were SDs in Wisconsin, Georgia, etc. The belief is that fake profiles on SA were used to get people's profile pic, messaging to get the phone #s.
