"Sugarbabies" / "Arrangements" Amateurs or Not?

Forget her previous username, but a couple of us reported on her a few months ago. Petite, spinner type body. Reasonable donation and hosts in her apartment in The Fan. https://members.seeking.com/member/8...0-6ae60d27872c.

Many years ago, when I first became a monger, there were people capturing photos, names and numbers and then posting them on various websites. They got my disguised photo, a burner number and my hobby name and email. The first site was called ExposingJohns.com. They later migrated to PredatorAlert.com. I was contacted multiple times at my email by a third party offering their services to force the site (s) to remove my info. They offered to guarantee results for only $2500.

Sounds like extortion to me.

Extortion is a form of theft that occurs when an offender obtains money, property, or services from another person through coercion.

Blackmail, in contrast to extortion, is when the offender threatens to reveal information about a victim or his family members that is potentially embarrassing, socially damaging, or incriminating unless a demand for money, property, or services is met.

Blackmail is a felony. Extortion can be either a misdemeanor or a felony depending upon the value extorted. They are both serious crimes, but, as you said, it is difficult to catch perpetrators on the internet.

I have had civvies commit blackmail when they threatened to reveal a cheating relationship after I terminated it, to my SO and family, unless I continued in the relationship. Only once did a SB do something similar. She demanded a large payment when I dumped her and texted me that her uncle was the Chief of Police in her city and she would tell him all about me being a SD if I didn't pay up. In all of these instances the females were dumb enough to do this by text. I called and gently reminded them that leaving written evidence of a crime was probably not a good idea. Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but the thought of incarceration can have a wonderfully chilling effect.

Did anyone else get an email from SA about a possible Paid Media Opportunity? Apparently they want to interview people about their experiences on SA, and compensate them.

Saw that, not doing it.

150 just to meet?

150 for meet and lunch then 500 for the deed.

Definitely real and unfortunately has gotten much more expensive now that she's clean. For years she was about 20 lbs lighter (not that she is unattractively big now) and could be had for $80-$120 and sometimes an completely open menu. Good old days.

Inflation, their bills are getting higher. I miss the good old days every time I go into a grocery store.

[CuriousVA]

I saw her last year at 400. By money needs I most mean she shows up on SA when in need, then disappears again.

Most of the girls pop backup when bills are due or when a sugar daddy says he's going see them 2 to 4 x / month but he makes excuses and might call her every couple of months. Then she's left scrambling if she doesn't have a backup.

[OliverNP]

Oh yeah? Whats his FB? I want to see who he's tagging.

I've known him since the early 90's, and knowing him, the over-sharing is only okay if he chooses to do it. I don't think I want to send him a message and ask his permission to post his FB to a monger forum. I know I wouldn't appreciate one of my friends doing that.

I actually know people who would actually LIKE the idea of videos of them chatting up young ladies appearing in search results when their name is Googled. I know one in particular that's in his 70's and posts pictures of him and 22 year olds on dates on on FB, it's a big ego boost as far as he's concerned. He's not married and doesn't need to care about his career.

So they're out there, but I doubt that's typical.

The typical SD who maintains a career and an SO should care.

Case in point, no I don't remember that case.

And I would simply ignore such a threat, but also I don't say stupid shit on camera.

I didn't say anything about hitting the news, I spoke to the potentially unwanted future availability of content. There is a reason they say don't upload anything to the Internet that you don't want to remain there forever (and when you participate in chat services you're doing just that).

Remember the Hunter Moore case? None of those girls were famous, none of them opted in to having their photos uploaded, and many of them never even sent the pics to anyone... they thought their phone was safe.

You could get a ransomware attack email one day saying "Hello, I have all of the video chats you did with your sugarbabies and here are a couple of short clips to prove I do in fact have them. I plan to host these and ensure that the links are returned in the immediate search engine results when someone Googles your name. It will not be good for your career. I am willing to settle for $60 k payable in bitcoin to not post your videos. Such an affluent sugardaddy such as yourself should be able to afford this. Please bitcoin to XXXXXXX if you don't want the entire Internet to see these videos".

Point is, cybersecurity risks are real and getting worse by the day. Scammers are finding new ways to monetize their treasures. And these ransomware attacks usually end up one of two ways -- either the ransom is paid or the threat is followed through with (and sometimes even when the ransom is paid, follow-up blackmail attempts demand ongoing payment).

They might survive but they create a one-sided debt situation where the husband has to spend the rest of his married days kissing ass and living in the shadows of what he got caught doing.

If that's an acceptable risk to anyone, they have nothing to fear from video chats. Sounds like a high price to pay for chasing young pussy and being too lazy to be careful about it.

Case in point, no I don't remember that case.

What the package says is immaterial. I stand by *exactly* what I posted, I have no opinion on anything else. SecureSpend, in my area, looks to cash registers like OneVanila. It rings up that way. However, it isn't the same thing, as I mentioned. If you get a card that does not have a means to add a zip code for pay-at-the-pump, I predict it will not work on seeking. Some other posters have said SecureSpend can be run by customer service at SA. That was an old tactic, it might still work for even other cards people don't discuss.

I have a question. At one point, someone posted a means to use Google Play cards to pay for SA membership. I have a screenshot of it somewhere. As I recall, it required the use of the seeking app on an Android phone. Does anyone still use this? Is the app still available? I recall that such 'adult' dating apps were removed from the app stores of some cell systems a while back, but IDK about any of this specifically.

Not once was SecureSpend mentioned in my post to which you replied. Not sure why you'd bring that up.

However, since there are a lot of flavors of Vanilla cards, would you mind sharing image of what you got? That would be more helpful than going around in circles of which card worked etc.

Thank you SA for the unnecessary hoops that one has to jump through to pay for membership, LOL.

[GutterMind4]

I have the Seeking app on an Android burner.

Been doing it this way since December (phone is a couple years old but app was downloaded in December). Also, I seem to remember the Vanilla card worked once or twice but, I may be incorrect about that. I can tell you that EVERY card I have used has always failed the first, even second time I tried. Not sure what I did different but I think they almost all eventually worked. I recall maybe once taking the Vanilla back (by the advice on here) and buying a different card with it. But I would try whatever your using multiple times before giving up. And I never use my real name or info except zip code.

OneVanilla card states:

"You can use your OneVanilla Card anywhere Visa debit cards, Debit Mastercard or Discover cards are accepted within the fifty United States and District of Columbia. The OneVanilla Card cannot be used at merchants outside the United States, including Internet and mail order / telephone order merchants. ".

MyVanilla states:

"Use your MyVanilla Card everywhere Visa debit cards or Debit Mastercard are accepted for purchases at retail locations, online, over the phone, or through mail order, depending on the network brand mark displayed on the front of your card. ".

With all the different flavors of Vanilla cards out there, there's lot of confusion.

To add to the above there is also VanillaGift card. LOL.

I have just paid up another month on SA using a OneVanilla prepaid debit card. I phoned in and entered a zip code for the card, that the phone tree says is necessary to use the card for pay-at-the-pump and online purchases. I waited about half an hour after that, and the charge went right through on SA.

I sometimes have a hard time locating that specific card. Last week I bought a SecureSpend card, it has no means to associate the card with a zip code, and I was unable to use it to pay for a seeking membership.
