What are 'fake' mistresses?? are they on here?? and what are the problems with them if they are?? can they rip you off so to speak??
I would like to know for my own safety and hopefully for the safety of other new members
If this has been discussed before, then forgive my ignorance
Actually, Your question is quite timely to me. And i will try to explain this for you.
A Fake Mistress is a person who is masquerading as a Dominant Woman. They are here, and their goal is to try to take money from you. As much as they can get.
There are some really obvious ones, like the profile with the picture of the 20 something sweety who just emails you a here's my yahoo address .. come chat with me.
But there is a far more dangerous type around as well. Typically, they run multiple profiles and get your phone number or personal details ... working you like a "real Domme".
In one instance in my area ... it was clearly identified that it was a couple ... and they were both convicted of larceny and other schemes before.
So they are con artists.
Typically they get to know you, through chat, phone etc., they set up a "date" then give you a horrible "sob" story and ask for financial help. But they want you to send it to them via Western Union or other electronic wire transfer.
A second type, that is starting to show up ... is they spend time with you, sometimes several weeks, emailing, chatting and or phone calls; then they set up the date ... then "suddenly" get a consulting contract requiring them to travel to another country. But they leave without making "letter of credit" arrangements.
Then they want you to "open a bank account" at a specific online bank for them. So their client can deposit the cash in that account.
It is either money laundering or they want access to your personal information for malicious use .. such as fake credit cards ... or both.
And even if it was legitimate (which it is NOT) you would incur income tax liability. And the Feds track transactions over $5000, too.
So yes, they can hurt you. A variety of ways.
And these people are very persuasive in their arguments ... as to why they can be trusted.
But it is a confidence game.
Your only defense is ... never send money to "ANYONE" you meet online. For any reason.
Another defense is to avoid any web cam or pictures ... that are embarrassing or detrimental to your reputation. (They will use black mail to get money, too.)
And third, don't give anyone your personal information ...
There are a couple of other defenses too ... such as listening closely for stories that don't tie out ... or details that should be obvious to them and are not ... they are tell tale signs, too.
Oh and i forgot ... ask leading questions ... it is a really good defense ... for everybody.
That is my two cents worth. i hope you have a better understanding of this now.
