PeonForHer -> RE: Tributes and Genuine Dommes (1/12/2009 10:27:11 AM)

My two-pennyworth and where they've initiated the contact rather than you: I've found that quite a few are scammers but that they're not difficult to recognise after a while. I'll be suspicious if someone writes without looking at my profile first (you can tell), if they ask to move straight to messaging or email outside of CM, or if they write nothing about their lives or interests but only give a long list of BDSM pursuits that they enjoy. I've discovered that if you ask, "What was it in my profile that prompted you to write to me?" they usually don't reply. Sometimes, it's taken a few cmail exchanges. Each time, though, they've written barely nothing and/or come on very strong with Dommie-talk right from the outset. But, really, it's quite easy. As others have said and I imagine you've realised anyway, if you just ask, politely, "are you a tribute or pro Domme?" - they'll have to reply with a "yes" or a "no". If you get no reply at all, then that can of course be taken as a "no" too. However, no warning in your own profile is going to stop the spammers who are also scammers. These simply don't care who they write to - it's a numbers game and they'll be flooding CM. Finally, let no-one tell you that you "should know better" and imply that you're a simpleton for even asking. This is a crock.
