ORIGINAL: UtahGoddess Next....Maybe I have lived a sheltered life or something, but I have never had a man tell me he was taken advantage of in this manner. I have. Too many times to count. And yeah, it's pretty common depending on where you haunt. Hell I still get approached daily with offers to "financially ruin" (UGH!) or "financially control" them, like I'd be interested in that level of control with a complete stranger - sheesh. quote:
ORIGINAL: UtahGoddess I have not heard of hacked accounts, or maxed out credit cards based on his contact with a "no contact" sex worker. I am certain it happens from time to time, but I doubt it is the epidemic being hailed here. Well tell it to PayPal, and StormPay. lol. And to all the guys that got bilked. It *does* happen, and on a daily basis. No exaggeration, sadly, no exaggeration in the least. quote:
ORIGINAL: UtahGoddess What is more common....and most likely...is a man pays for a service, RECEIVES his service, and then cancels the charge....or claims fraud. He uses her to meet his needs, then basically stiffs her for her pay. Because he doesn't want his wife to see the bill, or because he is just unethical....he reverses the charges. No, actually that isn't the majority of what I was speaking about. I am speaking of flat out scamming and hacking and ripping people off. Hell these broads used to BRAG about it, and SHOW me how they did it like it was a freaking badge or some shit. When a guy is told to pay a chick to see her cam, or for a session that NEVER happnes, and you see that from this individual over and over and over, and multiply that situation by literally hundreds - what would you call it? I'd call it scamming and fraud, myself. And when someone gets a submissive to hand over their password to their PayPal to show them that they trust them and the first thing they do is run into their account and empty it and then a few weeks bragging about it - gee, I'd say that was unethical and simply stealing. quote:
ORIGINAL: UtahGoddess This is something that happens ALL THE TIME. I agree that people who EXTORT or STEAL should be prosecuted and eliminated from our ranks. But to say the industry or the practice of exchanging money for a fantasy service is the problem......is simply the wrong target. How's about we save our indignation and judgement for those that abuse others...on both sides of the equation. I'd agree ... if you were speaking about just the sex industry in general and NOT about financial fetishes. And sure that happens from tim4e to time in that as well, but oh hell yes, there is easily far more abuse on the "worker's" end than there is on the "client's" end. quote:
ORIGINAL: UtahGoddess There are legitimate people in the sex industry. Again, apples and oranges here. I was not speaking about the sex industry but instead about financial fetishes, which altough can be merged is usually a seperate little beastie unto itself. People that would never do any phone/cam sex will hop into that fetish realm easy as pie. Sure PSOs and CamGirls are peppered throughout it, but those types generally see it as a business transaction and view the submissive as a client that is looking for a service that they can provide. The scammers AREN'T. Big difference. And besides, no one said at all that there weren't legit and ethical folks in the sex industry anywhere in this thread that I could see. ~ShadeDiva
