Snapchat!

I had discovered, purely by chance, that you could turn your Snapchat profile visible to others and you would then see people around you. And for weeks I could see various people who appeared to be looking for hookups and possibly escorts. I was curious... or maybe desperate? 

I kept seeing one woman who would show up nearby, so I finally reached out and said hi. I can't even remember her username but she was a bit forward and wanted a lot of information, and payment. It spooked me so I said my goodbye, but she found me again with another account, and eventually a couple others too. Finally she gave up.

I found another woman however who seemed like quite a story...

I will call her Jasmine. She had reddish hair and a fantastic body. The catch. She admitted straight up she was a prostitute and I do not want to support anyone being trafficked. But this story changed as we conversed. She claims she was too selective and her boss was pissed at her and wanted to sell off her contract (is that a thing?). Her boss was in the Philippines and I guess that's a thing there, but I asked why she just didn't run off and hide. She claimed he would have some local dude come and kill her. Hmmm

We talked for days, and she sounded like a sweet person who was living a tough life. She wanted out of her situation, understandably. But she said if she could get free, she would be my friend with benefits as long as I wanted her. Her boss wanted $2000 to get rid of her though. Yikes!

After we talked a while, she had said she refused to do much work for her boss and he was willing to let her go for $350. Ok, now I see the scam potential here but the chance to do good for someone and still get a FWB seemed like a risk I was willing to take. So I did it. I sent $350 to her boss in the Philippines through Western Union (yeah, I know). And of course, they claimed it got held by their bank for 10 days before he could get the money.

And ten days of chatting and learning about each other, Jasmine was ready to be free and be my special friend, when came the next request for another payment. And this one was a lot. I knew the scam was upon me and I've already proven myself a target so I worked to challenge "her" and prove some part of her story was reality. She ended up disappearing online when I wouldn't pay up and kept questioning her. 

I have been approached by a half dozen others on Snapchat and every single one was shady and focused on selling "content" or selling "hookups" by having me send money on Paypal or CashApp. My recommendation... avoid any dating attempts on Snapchat!

Charlotte, update and final status

Well, I finally got my answer about Charlotte. Whoever played this persona knew how to make it seem convincing. We continued to talk but she ran into a situation where she supposedly won a huge interior design contract in UAE, worth about $800,000, but she had to head over to the country in a week or so. Of course, she didn't have the money and asked me for several thousand dollars on a loan to help her out. I might have tried to help her out more if I had the money in the first place, but my suspicions were on alert. I continued to tell her I didn't have money for more than a week when she started getting pushy about it. Things were not clicking any further and she said she wanted at least $2000 or she would be really mad... so I blocked her. No, that's not the end of the story. A couple of days later, I got texts from several different phone numbers exposing my Facebook friends and a few nudes I shared with her. I swear, I only ever shared with two women... and they were ...

Xfun ?

Somehow I found myself on Xfun, an app for "meetups," and I had low expectations. The amount of people in my vicinity was quite low and many of them were suspicious. I think there may have been a few real women on this site but none seemed interested in me. I believe the app has a fairly high cost to message or "like" someone and the only responses I ever got either drained my credits or went straight for the scam. Your mileage may vary, but it's not a place I had any sort of luck with, but at least I didn't fall for any scams  ;-)

Olivia, Part 1

My time with Olivia began very differently than I thought my first online encounter would be. I spent weeks trying to figure out how I would possibly pursue an online romance. Olivia reached out to me on Mastodon and chatted a small amount for a couple of days, but then suggested security was poor and she wanted me to contact her through Telegram. Yes, my very first attempt reached out to me without any pretext from me. I thought maybe karma was being good to me! On Telegram, our conversation turned to our desires and she offered me a "menu" of possibilities, stating she was a content creator and an escort. I spent the next week trying to determine if any of this was legal and if I could be getting entrapped... I was clueless on what an escort even does (well not clueless but unsure what all that entailed). I agreed that I would love the boyfriend experience and wanted to hang out with her and see where it went. I viewed it as dating and paying for her time on the date, nothi...
