This week, I managed to get confused about my schedule...and put my actual detailed posts up for all the weeks following this, but not, per se, today. So I just have a quick post - a list of all the fake sugar daddy profiles I've run into. Since then, my list has grown, and many have been banned from Twitter. But it never hurts to know what you're up against, especially with a rogue's gallery like this.
I haven't chatted with every single one of these guys, but looking at the tweets on their profiles often indicated that they were, in fact, the same copy/paste templates used by the scam accounts.
The fact that this list isn't exhaustive also suggests the sheer scale of the problem with online fraud.
And finally, if anyone feels like actually gracing my account with a tip after reading this series, here is my real Paypal.me and my Ko-fi.
