ORIGINAL: LilJuly76 as much as I don't like scammers I also don't like people outing someone to employers, friends and family to get revenge on them. it happened to me because I wouldn't pay two chicks blackmail money. It's ok to call someone out within the community as being a fake but to out people on revenge is lower then low. That's one of the things that these chicks don't stop to think about, though. You never know who you're dealing with, especially when it comes to online interactions. quote:
"independent romance novelist" that's another issue I have trouble with. way back when writers wrote, went to publishers, got rejected many times before they were published and now people go online write a book and publish it online themselves, just doesn't seem right. My ex is an author, he's written three books - before the e-publishing craze. It has two sides: Because people can self publish and pop it on Amazon - there's a lot of bad books out there. But, on the other hand, the publishing industry doesn't get to determine what the public wants. Without e-publishing, Fifty Shades of Grey wouldn't have ever been published - and like it or hate it, it was wildly successful. quote:
also the fact she owed the IRS would explain why she was a scammer, quickest way to scam money from people without having to work for it. This kinda goes back to the whole "you don't know who you're dealing with" thing. These chicks don't realize that having someone give you money, pay your bills and give you gifts is considered income. I'll be honest, if someone was giving me $100 a week...I probably wouldn't report it. But, when you get to the point where it's a good chunk of money or all of it, you have to realize that someone, somewhere is going to start asking questions. There was a chick here a couple of years ago bragging how she made $500 a week from pay piggies and didn't need a job. She has a blog and I started reading it, because the watching train wreck was just interesting. She ended up get hit with a tax bill that she couldn't pay...and ended up getting booted out of the house she was renting, etc, etc. And I tend to think it wasn't someone she pissed off, but bank records that did her in. Her Findomme career has shriveled up, the blog shows how many bad decisions she made and she's reduced to selling her amateur porn on a "do it yourself" site. The thing with Goddess Mine - she was actually very good at being a FinDomme (even if it was still a scam). She at least gave something back to the guys that paid her and she made a lot of money doing it. All of these chicks here are no where near her level.
