The person who was demanding I explain why was "Sounding Asian" on the phone finally told me how to find this person. Sydney Lee is a SUPER famous domina in Seattle who is Asian. Why this scammer used my photos is beyond me.

Subsequently I also found this one, again not me.

Why this person contacted an account with two photos and a different name thinking it was me, well *FacePalm*. Please don't contact a domina through social media for a session. Not even my official socials--it's a good way to get banned.

My conclusion? I guess I still got it if people use my most recent photos to catfish. Hah!

The only private message such a person needs before you block them.

I think it is impossible to keep up with the ability of crooks to invent new and improve on old scams. Not BDSM specific scams, but I thought i would share some info.

My professional career is in the financial services industry and years ago I attended a 2 day educational seminar on financial scams. I consider myself reasonably well informed on cyber fraud but I was blown away when it was demonstrated that with just a little bit of information how easy, and quickly, a financial institutions website could be cloned and then sent in a link via mass email just hoping that an actual customer of that institution would open the link, visit the cloned site and unintentionally give away their sign in credentials. Bank account to be emptied shortly thereafter.

One of the more popular scams right now is to send an email informing the recipient that a charge will be made shortly to their credit card to pay for a subscription service, a popular one is supposedly from the Geek Squad. The message says if you do not want the charge processed please call a toll free number. Unsuspecting individuals will call to avoid a charge they did not authorize for a service they may not even have. Once on the phone, there is a good chance they will give away banking and/or credit card info. For example, scam artist says that "I am so sorry, the charge has already been processed. Please give me you credit card number and I will reverse the charge immediately."

Sad to say, that early in my career, I met with a family that claimed to have recently come into a significant sum of money and needed investment advice. You probably guessed it, they had been informed that they had inherited several million dollars from a relative they had never heard of who lived in Africa. They had already paid several thousands of dollars in processing and legal fees and were assured the millions would be transferred to them any day now. I had the unenviable job of explaining to them that they were scam victims. Sad to say, that in addition to the money they had already lost, they had also put down payments on 3 new cars that they intended to buy when their inheritance finally arrived. I was able to help them get those deposits back.

These were not stupid people, just blue collar hard working folks who wanted desperately to believe that this inheritance was real and would change their lives. The worst part for me was seeing how ashamed they were that they fell for it. Sad to say, that scam still works today.

Recently I thought about booking with a provider whose add I saw on Tryst. She was attractive and offered a combination of kink and gfe and the narrative was fairly extensive with lots of photos and seemed real but there was something about it that didn’t feel right. I googled , checked other sites and for social media and reviews and found zero. I held off booking and a few days ago went to check her add again and found it was gone. I’m guessing it was a scam but will never know for sure.

You were probably correct. No question.
