Another day, another scammer.

This one was on Taimi. She had an empty profile and presented as straight. Not a great start, but she had liked me, so I figured "let's see where this goes."

It did not go far.

She asked me what I was looking for. I answered truthfully. I asked the same. She says she's looking for a sub. In my profile, I make it clear that I'm a Dom. So I tell her I'm not a sub.

I continue my morning routine thinking she might be gone... but no. I figure at scammer central they were trying to figure out how to switch the script.

I did not give them the chance. I blocked.
