Hi All In the interests of helping our members avoid the attentions of scammers looking to have you join sites so they can make money from your details, I have investigated just a very small bit. BDSM.com is one of the main sites our members will be asked to join to show devotion to a supposedly young attractive Mistress. I went to BDSM.com and had a look at their affiliate program, these supposed Mistresses are gaining up to a dollar for every new person who clicks on that site following the link they have given. There are many sites that this company runs, I have put the full list they supplied here. So if you are asked to go to one of these sites, please be warned it is more likely to be so you get them money than they want to spend time with you. CM does not condone this behaviour in any way, shape or form and will take steps to deal with anyone found using this method of targeting our members. The list I found is as follows Code: adultfriendfinder.com alt.com cams.com penthouse.com outpersonals.com perfectmatch.com friendfinder.com icams.com stripshow.com BDSM.com getiton.com nostringsattached.com passion.com lesbianpersonals.com hotbox.com asiafriendfinder.com amigos.com seniorfriendfinder.com bigchurch.com gayfriendfinder.com If you have any questions about someone approaching you then please feel free to ask a Moderator, we would be happy to help.
Only yesterday I reported Mystique for the very thing you refer to here. Had I not acted quickly it could have cost me about $250. Just for larking about.
I know adultfriendfinder.com can be free. But to chat you need to pay for membership. It's that way for many sites (Zoosk for example)
If a member wants to chat to you, for whatever reason, there are more than enough features here for them to use. We have private conversations, a mini chat, and a chatroom. If they are asking you to go to another site, it's a scam. Plain and simple. I can't get my head around why people continue to fall for them though. People need to be more aware and careful, and that's what the Moderator team on this site do very well, look after our members. Me on the other hand ....
Many thanks indeed for these - I I'd certainly come across some of them,. most notably alt.com which I once thought quite a good resource, but which soon became spam. Not going there any more!
Thanks. I am too old and wise to get drawn into those places now but when I was young and horny I would give up my lunch money just to chat online with a dominatrix. it is good that someone is looking out for everyone.
The whole of the commercial Internet is built on traffic and clicks count. So all those little boxes about getting slim or nearly free I pads on the bottom of all sorts of sites are just the same . In fact having a website that sell nothing except the emperors new suite will make you money if you can get them to visit you . Xx Wendy
Thank you Mistress Jules. I did join BDSM before reading this, and I got a few emails as soon as my profile was posted! Needless to say such a disappointment. I will need to find some creative avenues to find a keyholder.
Hey everyone, ive been a member on the website called "keyholderfinder.com" since 2010 and have been going on and off messaging different keyholders with no luck. Recently I have received a message from a keyholder which looked genuine from her profile page and we proceeded to chat via messenger. After a couple days getting to know each other we moved on the video chat and it was then where I noticed something suspicious. During the video chat it was mostly one way, when she did turn on the video it was for a few seconds, she had "sound" issues so the microphone didn't work for her. All this didn't seem right to me, but what got my attention on this matter was during a "session" she asked if she could call me by another name and switched on her cam to write the name on her chest. I wondered why she did that but I got too carried away to ask. This morning I did some searching around the internet and found that on video chats you can broadcast pre-recorded videos! Each time she turn on the cam to get naked, it was broadcasting a pre-recorded footage. So later that day I asked her for a photo of her with a piece of paper of my name. I guess theres no need to say what the outcome was. Her profile name is Mystique1029. Guys and girls please be careful and confirm who your chatting with first before anything else. Scammers everywhere...
I woke up this morning and decided that I will involve the authorities upon this matter as I realised there are many others who are victims to scams like this. I was going to let it past because I don't mind paying for the time and to show that I care and im serious about the whole relationship. But its heart breaking to know that its a con from the beginning. I am not afraid or embarrassed on the things I like (my fetishes) because everyone have their own kink. So if there is anyone who wish to get involved or provide information, your welcome to contact me. Oh I have the name of the person that picked up the western union money and location of the store that deal with the transaction. Should be a easy catch as photo ID is required to pick up the money at the agent.
yes fraud is a big business on the net. i hope you know that she could have been recording your image over skype.
Well it is certainly something that is becoming more public - thanks to @lockit for this link which shows it happens to many others - http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/police-hunt-femme-fatale-after-4955517
