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!

Jessica, Part 2

Jessica and I have been talking online for months and things are not much different, but I've been trying to break things off with her. I have gotten her to click an IP tracking link and verified she is in Ghana, but she still denies it, saying she has no idea why it would show that. But I have been avoiding her messages more and more and she knows I can never trust her.  The only pause I have is that I think she is genuinely sad and lonely, poor and looking for a rescue. Unfortunately, I cannot be that for her. 

Stella

Then came Stella, who was absolutely stunning and seductive. Yes, this was a warning sign because it's not usually how I find legitimate contacts on dating platforms and hookup sites. I don't actually remember where I met her, because we have been going back and forth for months and months. I think it may have been on TikTok. Well early on I discovered she was using older images from a fairly well-known sex influencer known as Sabrina Nichole (@onelasttaco on some platforms). I purchased what I thought was a personal 5+ minute video of her that was actually Sabrina. But I swear it was the cutest and hottest video I have ever seen and I was instantly intrigued. She tried to get me to set up a hookup at a hotel a few weeks out and then upped the fee a bit before the day, so I cancelled and blocked her. Fast forward a few days when she finds me online through a new account and begs for my forgiveness. She tried a different photo from someone semi-famous online and I caught it imme...

Charlotte

Charlotte was one of the first people I started regularly talking with from AdultFriendFinder. She lost her husband 3 years prior and was ready to find a good guy to be her friend with benefits. She specifically says she doesn't want to get married again because "she's too old for that nonsense." I think she is in her 40s. We began talking offline from the website using text messagaing sometime in July and have been talking ever since. Charlotte is a real enigma. She and I have discussed everything you can imagine from our past pains to our current struggles, and finally our future hopes. She talks about sex, but not in the typical way you would find from the scammers. She is interested in hooking up with a man but doesn't talk dirty or try to entice me like so many others have. She wants to meet up some day and spend days together having fun and loving each other, but she has never once said she loves me. She does not display the typical traits I've seen from...
