Here’s how to avoid the most common scams
One of the most common scams are requests for small amounts of money before meeting (e.g., USD20/RM100 as a ‘trust’ payment). Trust payment requests are usually done through Telegram, where scams are harder to monitor. Although the amount might seem minimal, scammers typically ask for money from multiple people, which can add up significantly.
I.e. USD100 x 10 = USD1,000.
This tactic is also used to offer the sending of images and videos.
Here are some practical tips to help you recognize and prevent scammers from negatively impacting your Sugarbook experience:
Never Send Money In Advance
Genuine Sugar Babies will never ask for money prior to a meetup, as they understand the importance of building trust before a personal meeting. Scammers often try to exploit the emotional dynamics of the relationship by requesting advance payments. By adhering to a policy of no money exchanges before meeting, you can protect yourself from being victimized by such scams.
Always Verify Social Media Handles
Check social media profiles (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) to verify identities. This can provide you with a clearer picture of their lifestyle and authenticity. Platforms like LinkedIn can show you their professional background, whereas Instagram and Facebook may offer insights into their personal life and consistency of the information they’ve shared with you.
Introductory Video Call
Request for a short introductory video call before meeting to establish trust. This not only helps in verifying the identity of the person but also allows you to gauge their intentions and see if there’s a genuine connection. A video call can significantly reduce the risk of being misled by false profile photos or outdated information.
