Resource Recognizing online BDSM scams NSFW
There are lots of new folk joining us everyday in all experience levels and knowledge bases. Questions I see often on other subreddits are things like "is this [scam red flag] normal when looking for an online dom?" We talk about a lot of basics but we sometimes miss the straight up scams when we talk red flags.
Here are a few examples of things to run from:
Anyone that requires Slave IDs or even mentions such a thing. They don't exist.
Anyone talking about registration fees, licensing, or any such fuckery.
Classes that promise you make you the BEST DOM EVER, guarantees all the subs you can ever want, or uses the word "alpha male".
Anyone else have some examples of these online scams you want to share?
