ORIGINAL: CuriousGeorge I really don't receive many messages on here, so when I see the "new messages" notification it's kind of exciting. But this one felt like something else was up.. I received a message "do u have webcam slave?" ... Ok we never talked before so the use of slave, not consensual, but I didn't mind much. I explained I don't, and don't really like the idea of live web cams, but explained a former play partner and I had a lot of fun with still photography before we met r/t. I also asked if she would like to chat some more. So I get this message back... "send me more picts of u" that was it. So I had a choice to make, do I send this phantom person a bunch of (miss spelled) pictures or find out more? Well I made the decision to inquire more about her (assume her, who knows), mind you this person had a completely blank profile, and no photo... and strangely short messages. I stated very nicely, I would love too, but could I find out a little more about you first? Interests, experiences and such, seemed reasonable. Well at that point communication was cut off.. no more messages. So I either saved my self from a scam.. or just offend someone and ruined a potentially good thing. My question to the group is, was it the right move? Or is this a new scam? 'There's nothing new under the sun.' Actually, the whole thing is: quote:
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes. People are people, inside and outside of D/s. They are not magically better because they join CollarMe, select a D-type orientation and start sending email. Would you give photos of yourself to any perfect stranger? If not, then why give them to a D-type you know nothing about (apart from the vile misuse of the English language)? Of course you did the right thing. candystripper
