Seller fake warning signs -

Oh yes, theirs such a thing as a seller who potentially could be or who is a fake! It is the case on EVERY platform ...So buyers beware....

The good news is not all sellers are fakes, BUT unfortunately they do exist - so please keep your guard up.

Some "sellers" just pray on buyers & try to make a quick buck but not deliver a service in return for payment - which is really bad. Only the lowest of the low do this - the scum of the earth!

Our blogs listed below (that you'll find on our blog page) will give you a few tips that may help you with your fetish buying -

"Safety and member difficulties"

"How to choose a seller"

Some sellers talk the talk, have sexy ways & look hot in photos - but they are not genuine! So the first question is what can you do? See below a few tips on this -

1. Ask to see the seller's photographic ID held up to their chin via email (you do the same in return)
2. Watch how they interact with others.
3. Ask to see the seller's price list/menu.
4. Order something small first (example nudes)
5. Pay for tracked postage & get a tracking number.
6. Chat on the platform as much as possible.
7. When placing an order take an email address.

Those are the main 6 pieces of advice we can give you to help you a little. Remember to look out for how many 5/5 profile ratings they have - but also take some with a pinch of salt, if a seller has a lot of 5/5 ratings but the odd rating is 1/5, please remember that it may have been a low rating done out of jealousy by another seller! They can get very competitive...

The second question is what are the red flags & how can you spot a potential fake? See below for a few of the things we think are red flags -

1. Really cheap offers
2. A very basic profile, with little effort.
3. No visible interaction with other members.
4. Very few adverts or posts.
5. Three stars or less for profile ratings.
6. No profile picture or a stock photo.
7. Being pushy with you to get a sale.
8. Lack or no communication once paid.
9. Appearing to be a "Sugar Baby" seeking a "Sugar Daddy"

The third and final thing! Just on a side note here, the seller may have a really good reason not to deliver what was ordered on time (example:- an emergency situation to deal with etc..) so always give them the benefit of the doubt & a bit of time to try and put things right for you before you rate & report them....

1. Ask them to deliver your order within 7 days.
2. Still no order? Rate 1 star, report them to us & we can permanently ban the seller & please block them.
3. Still no refund? Try and get a payment reversal.

Please remember that you cannot claim your money back from platforms - but if you read this blog & follow our advice this will help prevent this from happening to you.

On a side note - these things may not be red flags but we think they are a big turn off & buyers will probably agree with us, if a seller is being pushy & saying that the item or experience is cheap. These things don't look good ladies & gents!

All you need to do with these above types of "sellers" is - don't engage in conversation, block and move on.

Good luck!
