And that right there is exactly what makes you an easy target. You are male. You are of an age where most people do have a certain amount of disposable income. You're probably really eager to explore. You're already looking at this differently than anywhere else on the internet, because if it had been a vanilla dating site, would you have even considered sending some <cough> woman <cough> that you've never met five hundred bucks for the potential of maybe a chance to meet or have a relationship? Scammers LOVE people like you. You couldn't be a better target if I painted a bullseye on you.

I was not sure if this was a common practice as I see it is not I will definitely not part with my $500.
Well, at least that's good.

Just answer me this why and how would they be this good at being a Dom. Right down to rules and daily tasks?
She's on Alt. That automatically means she's already on a site that gives her access to information that translates to everything you want to hear.
quote:
It just seems like a lot of effort and how would they and why would they share a passport photo that adds up to exactly what they say they are and who they say they are.
You have no idea of that because you haven't met that person in the flesh. If this person managed to land somebody else's passport, you're dang right they are going to build that fake identity. First item on the list would be creating email names, etc to make you believe that's who the person is.
quote:
The email name matches the actual name on the passport.
And it takes how long to create a yahoo account? I could create one with the name of Tom Dick and nobody would know the difference.
quote:
Most scams I see do not have a name that matches there email.
Two words for you: Identity theft. What's going on here isn't even as complex as that.
quote:
Like holly black is the email sender but they sign there name as Jennifer jones.
Definitely is a sophisticated scam.
Let me ask you a hypothetical. If you were a scammer, your objective would be to get other people's money, right? The better you are at it, the more of other people's money you get. Right there is your incentive to be good at the con.
Now, here's one question that you should have asked yourself. This interaction was started on Alt, correct? Why move the conversation to yahoo? Unless something has majorly changed on Alt, that neat subscription that you just bought to have certain access and email abilities, doesn't cost a dime for women. All it takes is ten profile views a day and women get everything free that you just paid for. You can also go to any of the chat rooms to talk to people and hell, they encourage women to be on cam. (Leads to more profile views, which in turn is more free access, etc, etc.)
You're really not thinking big picture here. You're thinking it's just *your* five hundred dollars. You're forgetting about the money that she got out of somebody last week or the guy who will give her money next week.
Let's take the money out of it. I'm the first person to tell you that if you were a female submissive and that email was sent by a (supposedly) male Dom/top, half the people on this board would tell you to run for the hills. A lot of people do play only privately and that is personal choice, but it goes hand in hand with the fact that means you can't verify if that person really knows what they are doing as a top. That email you are so enthralled with? You think it's awesome and I can poke more holes in it than Swiss cheese. Do you know why? It's because you are new and don't have enough education about kink to know the right questions to ask about what she's telling you.
By the way, that's not an insult. You would be amazed how many new submissives/bottoms take as truth what any Dominant/top tells them, rather than do their own independent research.
Based on the email that you posted, here are (some of) the questions I would be asking:
If she's been into BDSM since before people were meeting on the internet, how come she's only been doing it for six years? How did she get started?
How did she learn to tie? (I.E., how did she learn bondage?)
Who taught her how to throw a whip? Does she have any pics with her in them of her holding a whip, throwing a whip, or anything that verifies she knows how to use one?
Speaking of whips, what kind(s) does she have? Where did she buy it and when? Who made it? What material is it made from?
Who actually came up with the term "SSC"?
If RACK is so self explanatory, wouldn't she encourage you to become educated on what those risks really are?
What's the difference between RACK and PRICK?
Out of all of the submissives on ALT, why did she choose to write you instead of the thousands of other guys who have profiles? (Btw, female submissives can spot this one in a heartbeat.)
As a female top, I can answer all of the above and I don't need the time to look it up on Wikipedia. I'm not trying to be mean to you. Being new, you have to learn how to ask the probing questions for your own well being. I know I'm kind of a d*ck sometimes but I hope it will be for your own good.
