Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but as a sub looking for a Dom, what types of signs, actions, non-actions should I consider to be warning signs? I'm looking for a local Dom and am chatting with one. I still have questions as to if they are actually local or not. I found them on the soon to be closed #open app but now chatting on threema app (that and telegram were suggested options). I have been trying to ask questions to both vet them and find compatibility. So far, 2 things are stirring doubt: First, saying that they "accept" any amount of tribute (one time only) that I feel I can or that the interaction is worth, Second, they will not agree to meet in person until such tribute is paid. First meeting would be in a public place, just to further compatibility.
Context: I think I should be running away already for the following reasons. 1-pictures on the profile are the same woman on a profile I had interactions with that I found to be fraudulent (did a 180° turnaround from gradual progression to pay $100 tribute within 24 hours to not fall behind or miss out. 2- I found that woman's pictures (the same as I'm "talking" to now) on a web site saying she is a Dom in the UK.
Yeah, pretty sure I need to just sever communication already and I'm thinking with my "right" head, but I just keep holding out. They say the tribute would need to be either gift card or Bitcoin. The gift card also set my alarms off. Is it normal to require tribute before first general meeting or is that grey area? Are there any other questions I should ask for verification, other than pictures or video/face time which I am going to do next contact. Are there any limits to what a Dom would agree to for verification etc or is that and everything else as numerous as the stars? If more info or context is needed, please ask. Thank you in advance for the help!
