Yes, yet another sleepless night.
After a long weekend of countless arguments with not a soul to talk with, so I'm venting. I try not to scream much in my blog... actually, I don't think I ever have, Carol? Henna? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Have I?? Anyway! With that said, down to business. LOL!
I truly don't care about the drop down, drag out verbal arguments. I'd rather educate. I do read blogs when I come online (when I'm not too busy trying to write the book in a panic that is!) and one stood out to me all weekend. About a young woman that let herself (no names) become intrigued with a master and meet him offline. I won't get into the rest of the blog, in the event that anyone has read it, long story short, she landed up not having the best experience. The so called Dom lied. She felt horrible.
Lesson number one to all newcomers: Every Dom will lie to you. We will tell you exactly what you want to hear because we know you need to hear it. This should be the takeaway from my lesson.Not all men are liars, but chances are.... (I think you may know where I'm going with this)
Lesson number two: Always be safe. No, I'm not talking about birth control. I'm talking about your own physical safety first and foremost. Please do not trust another when they tell you, "come by my house", or "let's meet at this hotel". Contrary to popular belief, I do know what I am talking about. I was a cop (among a lot of other things in my life including IT professional). Establish trust first. ("But yeah Rich, how do I do that?")
I get it, You really can't establish trust from writing back and forth. If you want to text first, do that. vid chat, do that, make sure the person is real and not not just a sadistic bastard or bitch (yeah it can go both ways, if your masochistic, that's up to you.) No insult intended. Either way, just BE SAFE.
Lastly, I've found a few websites I thought I would share with you all, to show just how bad scamming is. Especially in the romance department. (Now we enter my IT background).
It's amazing how many lost souls are still to this day swindled out of money, taken advantage of and extorted. I learned in the 90's there was no Nigerian Prince that was seeking to transfer funds to America, but still people fall for the easiest of scams to this day. I gather we all are lost in one way or another. I've listed the sites below. I believe that each site is affiliated with SCARS (Society of Citizens Against Relationship Scams) in one way or another.
Also, what I found interesting was that Romancescamsnow has a LOT of tools to help identify scammers. Especially photo galleries of the top 50 latest stolen photos. I cannot guarantee how updated it is, but it seems like a lot of knowledge. On a side note, even the FTC published a page on their website in February 2018, here https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2018/02/has-online-love-interest-asked-you-money
Well, That's it for the Neo show tonight! Just hoping to catch an ear or two, drop some good fortune or knowledge or maybe make a friend or two!
Stay safe all, and as always,
Till next time!
