ORIGINAL: harddaddy4u I am currently in communication with a lovely slave from California (Corona, specifically), and she has ostensibly been "trained" by some type of camp located in that city. We have conversed for a couple of months, and she has supposedly decided that I'm her "choice" of a Master to serve for life. The organization that she has been "trained" by apparently "owns" her, until a suitable Master is found. They have sent me a "contract" which looks more like just a basic information form, and I'm to sign and return it, and then send them money for her training and for a medical test. After that, she will be relocated to me at their expense. The fee they are asking is $600 for the "training", and $200 for the test, for a total of $800. While I am totally comfortable with the slave herself, and feel that she is genuine, the form sent up some red flags because it was riddled with misspellings and poor grammar. I also cross checked the address they gave me, and nothing came up. I wrote them back about my concerns, and they wrote back with another address. Obviously, they want the money sent through Moneygram. My question to you is.........how do I go about verifying the authenticity of the camp? I asked them for references initially, but they claim that all previous clients request privacy, which may in fact, be true. It's also rather convenient. I have nothing to go on, in regards to their legitimacy and honesty. Once I send the money, the slave could disappear from my IM friends list and email contact list and I might never hear another thing about it. The money will undoubtedly disappear. My instincts tell me that this is a scam. Then again, it might be totally legit, and the person who sent the form might just be a poor speller, and the bad address might have been a mistake. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Master J As someone who had someone come across country to live with me let me point out a few realities. You can not know someone until you are in their physical lives daily. Until then they can tell you anything they want. Even then you can be lied to. How will this person support themselves? Will you be providing support such as food, housing, medical care/insurance, clothes, money, car and other life necessities? Can they be trusted in your home? What about their family? What about your family? Did you do a criminal background check? Are there provisions if things do not work out? And my ponderings in regards to your case here.... Why did the slave not pay herself for this school? What type of school takes on students with no guarantee it will be paid?
