ExKat -> Befuddling new sub behavior (3/19/2009 1:38:09 PM)
Today, we got a message from an 18-year-old with an empty profile that just said, "Hi, do you like what you see? I'm very interested....[phone number redacted]". I sent her a message back asking her what the heck she was thinking!! Assuming she wasn't a fake, this is probably one of the sillier mistakes I've seen a brand-new sub make. Have any of you experienced (or committed) silly (or stupid) new sub mistakes?

Some will respond, and then, unless they are sensible, alleged sub, has their number. I give out my number very fast, some would say i was daft, but my number is plastered across the net due to business, so to me i dont see it as a risk. Hell a bit of digging and my address is findable nearly as fast. Ok, so far only one person has admitted they did a search and found me, but i know its doable.

I get a lot of emails like that. I assume they are idiots, or working some sort of scam, then hit delete and move on. If they have a pay-as-you-go cell phone, they really haven't anything to lose. But they might be hoping to get your phone number in the process. Tricky little buggers.

sirsholly -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/19/2009 2:01:12 PM)
i always think of them as a scam

Yes, thinking back over a decade to the AOL chatrooms, I would Ma'am and Sir anyone who proclaimed to be a Dominant, and took everything they said as the gospel truth and one and only "true way". Never even once considered a "Dominant" would be a liar. I was even to the point of relocating a couple of times, and luckily for me, in both instances, a "little lie" came to the forefront each time. Imagine had I learned about those lies after I had already moved! You would have thought I'd have learned from the first one, but for me, sub frenzy took quite a while to wear off.

littlewonder -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/19/2009 3:42:37 PM)
I get them often. They're the same as the nigerian scams. If you call the number it's most likely a company trying to sell you something or someone trying to get money from you. Delete. Ignore.

DesFIP -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/19/2009 3:43:04 PM)
Probably a scam to get your number. I'd report it to support.

I love (hate) the ones that send photos with other friends and family members still in the photo. Usually they at least attempt to crop out or blur the others faces. But I have had some that won't even do that, no doubt family members would be just thrilled to know their images were being posted on sites or used for S/M kink types ads or e-mails. One really classy guy even sent me a photo with his 6 year old daughter sitting on his knee. :(

If I were a teenager (I mean, a really nasty, unscrupulous teenager), and I had a friend i really wanted to fuck with, it occurs to me that sending her phone number to a bunch of perverts might be a diabolically effective way to do it.

quote: this is probably one of the sillier mistakes No, it is not. This is spam, and/or a phishing attempt. It is one of the methods currently used predominantly by the Nigerian scammers. If there is no indication in the email that it was meant for you personally, and there has been no access to your profile, don't reply to it, and immediately report it to the system administrators, via the report button, as spam. They can verify the IP address and determine if it is one of the "regulars".

YoursMistress -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/19/2009 8:52:46 PM)
I've been blocking and deleting. It seems that reporting is the more responsible thing to do. Thanks for pointing it out. yours

StormsSlave -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/19/2009 11:21:32 PM)
I get cmails from some dude calling him Bambi something or other who wants me to put his number up in a bathroom for him. rolling eyes. I keep having to remind him that we've already had this conversation and I'm not interested...still. Every other time he gives me a number. I wouldn't give my number out, but I'm prissy like that. shrug. Not my concern if someone else wants to give out theirs.

SurrenderForMe -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/19/2009 11:30:44 PM)
I must be weird or something. I don't care if someone has my number. Never had it turn out to be a scam or phishing, not yet anyway. Talked to almost everyone of them and they were eager little subs wanting, whatever. It doesn't matter. I use voip. No real trace available. Don't bother, I got the lecture 20 years ago from a kinky detective. I have the luck of the idiot? uncaring?. Whatever.

You can set up phones that are basically the same as 900 numbers, but are more "normal" as far as area code and whatnot. While I am used to getting #'s within a few emails back and forth, I just ignore and delete anything like this that comes right off the bat. Considering how most people have cell phones nowadays, if it was a scam to get your #/address, it wouldnt be a very lucrative scam. But I assume these people are a little loopy anyhow given the # situation without any kind of conversation beforehand.

I feel that these posts and I get them as well are not legitimate, and if a lot of you in this culture are feeling this as well, then I would think that would explain it pretty good, since we as our culture goes, are prone to going with our guts as opposed to being gullible people. These scammers are looking for the desperate, the innocent, and the unwary...with the occasional newbie thrown in for flavor. They are spamming this out, and the payoff may come when you call that number (like the one scam where it's an off-shore number that the charges for the call are astronomical and is like a pay per minute call...I'm sure you've heard of them once awhile). Best not to play along with these "too good to be true" things no matter what they are. Besides it's good to see the profiles if there is nothing there in the profile or the message has more in it than the profile, then what are they saying? They are saying I have not time for proper and just want to payoff...either way, not worth it.

Redacted... for being offtopic.

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/20/2009 1:12:30 PM)
Oh I made them all. And was fine. It's really not the choices, it's knowing and accepting the possible consequences.

maatsubJ -> RE: Befuddling new sub behavior (3/20/2009 8:55:54 PM)
I got the message from Bambi as well, I just report, block, delete. Scammers are getting good and like someone else said I wouldn't be surprised if they got you to call a number that charged you ungodly sums of cash per minute. Or were trying to get you for purposes of blackmail and the like. I hate sketchy behavior
