So if you don't ask for gift cards, what payment method do they usually use? The ones I've seen so far are gift cards and cryptocurrencies
OK, so, a lifestyle dominant will never ask for money, or tribute or any such pay to play exchange, because what we do, is not about money, it's about connection, fun, relationship, enjoying consensual energy exchange, and even love.
A Pro, and I have no personal issue with Pro-Dominants (Cage doesn't allow them to operate here re asking for payment/pay to play) will, because it's a business exchange, they are sex workers (again I have no personal issue with that) and require, and as they say a worker is worth their wages, so payment is part of the deal, and its traceable payment, because they pay their taxes etc and are legit - albeit in this day and age the powers that be/payments processors are making it harder and harder to do this in an above board way.
Scammers will always ask for payments that cannot be traced, because guess what, they are only interested in exploiting you, and others desperation and thirst, you are to be exploited and milked, that's all, so it's a case of get as much as they can, usual lies are pay for equipment, pay for a venue, etc and they vanish. Because the payments are not traceable, there are no consequences for them, but you, and people like you, lose a ton, and for nothing.
My advice, attend in person munches, events, to make in person connections, and only approach well established Pro-Dominants, in established businesses/dungeons - if that is the road you want to go down.
