LadyPact - wtf is your problem? Do you get off on insulting every poster here? I'm guessing you do, because the logic you used to admonish the OP is absolutely pathetic.
Nah. Just the ones who just don't show any logic whatsoever when it comes to money in exchange for BDSM. This is a repeated issue with this particular individual (check his posting history) as he's started several threads about sending money to people because he refuses to take the advice he's been given about how to find and arrange a session with a reputable pro. Posters have detailed to him how to find his local community, passed along info on BDSM clubs in his area, and every other possible bit of good advice. At some point, a person is just choosing to continue to be foolish.

Scamming someone is fraud - promising something that is not delivered. Do you realize that fraud is a crime for a reason? There can be extremely sophisticated scams - such as the famous pyramid scheme. Or Trump U - another famous scam/fraud that was sophisticated. Are the victims to blame here, or is the person running the scam / doing the defrauding? In case you thought for even one second that the victim was to blame, DON'T. There is a limit to personal responsibility - such as when someone cannot make an informed decision due to the actions of the scammer. That's why pyramid schemes work - the new investors cannot always know that they are not going to get the return on investment that they put in. The only reason people do not fall for them as often is precisely the same reason that you are insulting the OP - because they have been EDUCATED about it!
Do you know what header is at the top of every email that a person opens here? It's this:
DO NOT SEND MONEY TO OTHER USERS FOR ANY REASON!
Read about Common Scams and Online Safety Information
That means the site, itself, already warns you not to do this. It's in big, red letters with a clickable link to common scams. There is language in ToS to discourage people from doing it. If nothing else, I just typed words into google (common scams on the internet BDSM) and got pages of results. There are tons of threads here about how to find a reputable pro. There is a reputable pro in the OP's neighborhood who regularly posts about classes that she does in Upcoming Events from which the OP could network. All of this information has been available to the OP all along. It's really not like this information is not out there.
quote:
Seriously, learn a little bit about ethics and morality, maybe some critical thinking skills. That way you won't feel the need to insult every poster.
Has nothing to do with ethics and morality when a person refuses to use the information at their disposal. If you tell somebody some version of "don't do that" at least a half a dozen times, at what point does their responsibility come into it? The OP has a track record of not using his own common sense or doing any research, even when it's been handed to him.
