I had a [removed] and [removed] I got the the messages on the same day 2 hours apart from one another, with practically the same message just rephrased. Offering 5 thousand weekly for companionship. One I told if I wanted a sugar daddy, I would get one who had the initiative to be able to pay me correctly without a verification fee, no response. James, I lulled him into a false sense of security, photoshopped the image he sent me, saying he had to pay me a $100 bitcoin verification fee, to make sure he was the sender of the 5 thousand dollars for me to collect. He didn’t have any fun after that. ... View more

Receiving direct messages on Instagram offering to be a sugarbaby with a 5 thousand dollar allowance a week, no nudes or sexting just companionship. They will then ask you for your PayPal link and email address, tell you the payment is on hold or pending and will be released to you if you make a payment of $100 bitcoin, I can only assume what happens after that. They have pretty good photoshopping skills on the images, they send to “prove” it’s done. The padlock on the website address, no spelling mistakes, no bold or capital writing, none of your typical phishing email red flags. Although they love to use the emoji’s. The only way I could stop these direct messages on Instagram was to put my account on private and turn off message request from unknown groups/people. Hope this helps someone out there. ... View more
