Ripped off in London (97)

Are we that surprised?

A real shame - as, if that really happened, it was a chance to warn fellow BDSMers about a possible scam

LOL, put it down to experience eh. Next!

OK he did not express himself very well and put a very confusing post up, I for one, would have liked to know more, but now there is no chance of that.

Why are some so intolerent on here? we are a community after all, a bit of empathy and understanding would go a long way and achieve a lot more.

I am submissive myself and understand the pitfalls of being such, we tend to trust a lot more than the Dom types infact it is almost expected of us, this makes us easy targets.

Just my personal view of course.

to those that understand, no explaination is needed, to those that dont understand, no explaination is possible

Oh yeah? Who expects that? Rapists, abusers, molesters, letches, dirty old/young men?

Unfortunately we have had quite a few so called scams, that are clearly made up, posted on this board. There are lots of ways that a person can gain attention for attention's sake and most of us PDs are clued up to them. We start from a default position of dubious and sceptical mainly because we get told all sorts of bollocks by subs who want to have their hand held.

The OPs vague account didn't do himself any favours, nor did it help that he couldn't elaborate on what had happened.

I didn't believe a word of it either.

If you want to help people you give them details, otherwise what is the point?

I am not sure why he deleted. I don't know whether or not he was frustrated with himself, felt "bullied" or it was something that actually didn't happen and he pulled out because of that

I am not sure if there is "a community" here but I do feel he had a chance (and was asked) to give some more detail and decided not to. Having had a look at his profile before he deleted he talked about experience with PDs in the past, so he knew what he was on about and a few words of clarity would surely have helped this "community" - or some of them at least - given that he had this experience and was still suckered in

You're just like the London sun. You're over and done with before you've begun.

If someone was pretending to exchange services for money then they are NOT a Pro Domme, anymore than your chancer who calls at your house claiming your recently tiled roof needs fixing. Surely it would be quicker and easier to do the job you've been paid for and are adept at than working out and executing fraud? As to subs having to trust - they can get recommended PDs and can take someone along with them. Pro Dommes are more vulnerable to the many potential downsides of any transaction, not least because they are forced to work unaccompanied.

Well Done Admin.

I love to see that you are being fair.. Some people do have a new board and this Board is much better now..

Keep up the great work Admin

Excuse my cynicism, but equally, the chap could be a scammer himself, looking for details of successful cons. Hence the desire for people to memo him with details of their own cock ups.

Either that or he just gets off on the thought of being conned.

If he'd been at all serious about it, he'd have said what happened, named names etc to stop the same happening to someone else. Seems bleeding obvious to me....
