Wondering
Another thought on finding a relationship. (Some may disagree)
Like many I am trying to find my one. But being lonely does not equate to being desperate in my books. Now like many I have gone through a rough patch with loosing work in this economic enviroment we have ongoing in our world. I had a great job and lost it and took whatever work I could to survive. I felt like the guy in the song "man of constant sorrows", but instead of 6 years it really was only 4.5 years. Now I finally have a job that is getting me on the upswing side of things.
I keep getting messages from potential partners (for lack of a better term). Saying that they are ready to serve me as soon as I relocate them. Now in my books if I am going to support them (especially if they are from another country, Canadian law stipulates that I am financially responsible for them) I think some or all of the responsibility should lie with them if for getting here. Of course I tell them that and usually they disappear. Which leads me to the belief that they were potential scammers that were trying to free me of my hard earned cash. This happens in a number of sites I am on not just here.
So what I am wondering is :
Am I over reacting?
Do others feel I am handling this correctly?
Keep it clean folks.

Re: Wondering
I have had my fair share as has everyone else that has commented here. I was wondering if everyone else has noticed they all seem to be working from the same script? It's got to the point one I was talking to the other day I was telling her what she was going to say just or promise next.
Re: Wondering
As other people have said you acted appropriately. You should NEVER send money to someone you've met online. I suspect that accusation was merely petulant frustration the scam wasn't working.
A new scammer, or at least a new persona for a scammer, contacts me every couple of days from here. The story is always the same. A beautiful young girl needs a master and after talking with me for five minutes she thinks I'm perfect. Even though she knows virtually nothing about me she assures me she will do anything I want. All I have to do is pay for her relocation. Generally the girls are "native Americans" who happen to be in Africa but regardless of their claimed citizenship or ethnicity they rarely write like someone actually from the states.
I posted logs of a couple of conversations I've had with scammers I met here on SF. It might be interesting to compare these to the conversations you've had.

Re: Wondering
Its best you found out now isnt it. Hope you have a awesome day!
Re: Wondering
Thanks everybody for your feedback. I appreciate it. I didn't feel I was doing it wrong but it was suprising to see a post that I wasn't a real Dom because I wuldn't pay for relocation. Hoping everybody is having a great day.

Re: Wondering
Not an overreaction, just plain ol' good common sense!
There will be scammers not only on bdsm sites like SF, but coupon, news and other such online families.
It's great to protect important identity information, even email if you're not comfy with the person.
Moderators here do a great job of snooping out scammers. They even get a great sense of accomplishment in making this a better, safer and friendlier community.
Unfortunately, it appears most males are targets of scammers via private message and email if it's posted in your profile. If you feel someone is a scammer, please let a moderator know.
We want to make this site full of good kinky fun and not worrisome or stressful.

Re: Wondering
I totally agree with you. Scammers are everywhere these days. Sometimes, you just don't know who you can trust, until you talk with them awhile, and then they show thier true colors.
Re: Wondering
i agree completely. it has happend to me so many times, i will not even talk to them if they want me to pay their way or buy them something.
Re: Wondering
No your not over reacting,your protecting yourself and your money,if they wanted to come over so bad they would try an work out how to get there,if they dissapear after they are told that they are to pay to get there then to me they are nothing but scammers.
