Status: offline 		Ok we've had numerous threads on scams online.
How about anyone who's sent people they only met online with positive outcomes?
I've done this three times so far and it was worth it. The last one was when I sent my now-Master some money for an emergency medical procedure that wasn't covered on his insurance. This is before I met him and I'd only known him online for 2 weeks. We are now married and of course I am gladder than glad I extended that trust and did it.

It's one reason I chose a lower paying job driving a truck for the summer over a higher paying job in retail.  People get super crazy when it comes to money, and I don't want to deal with that.

Status: offline 		I have given money and taken up a collection for one individual after Hurricane Katrina that I knew from online political chat for about 3 years. He did not ask for this, I just did it. We raised 5k for him. He lost his dog, his home, everything. Another person from chat drove from TN to New Orleans to get him ASAP, and he stayed with this couple for two months while he sorted things out. It felt very good to help another person like that.

When I became unemployed and money was tight, I have an online friend that told me if I needed cash to call, I never made that call for cash, but I still call her all the time. I have known her for 6 years of internet friendship. I actually love her, and if she needed something I would give it to her if I had it. We plan on taking a trip along the coast this summer.

Edited to add, I had an online activist friend that I lost from cancer a couple of years ago. He was very well known online for his anti computer voting activism. He had just sold his sandwich shop, had no health insurance... people from online raised 50 thousand dollars for him so he could receive treatment at John Hopkins. His energy transcended space, and I loved him too. I miss him still and think about him often. It is a testament to his energy, his positive nature, and his love of others that they raised so much so quickly for him.

Hi NakedGirlScout,

Wanna buy some cookies? Sorry couldn't resist. On to the matter at hand.

i have been a boy of Dearest Mystress at MystressWorld for two years now.
Admittance to the study program there under the watchful eye of the Dommes,
does in fact require tribute, tuition, gift, whatever one wishes to call it. The
result of my "investment" has been a wonderful exchange and learning process
with Women of Power, educating and enlightening my journey as a submissive.
i have been most privileged to share with the Dominant Women there concerning
a wide variety of topic and discussion relating to BDSM and D/s relationships.
As a submissive, i find the structure and protocol commanded of myself there
quite satisfying and fulfilling, purpose which bodes well for a passionate servant.
Such is my own earned money, and i spend such to enrich my life. MystressWorld
has expanded my understanding as a submissive, and i have come to love and
truly respect the glorious Dommes there whom offer generously of Their wisdom.

Yes, i have heard all the chants and usual banter related to such, "They're ProDommes, They're men, They're Con Artists, They're Prostitutes, you're
being used, taken, ripped off, played for a fool," etc, adnauseam. And yes, i can
share with others for nothing in places like CM and the like, but i still pay for
the service to get there don't i, so what's the big deal if i am happy doing
something that doesn't reach into anyone else's pocket. i feel enriched and
uplifted, satisfied and happy in my studies there, no expectation of anything
else, no fantasy, folly or kink, it is not accepted nor allowed, period.

Somtimes really good things happen where some might least expect it, as in
Your own case, congratulations for that. You are smiling, i am smiling, nothing
at all wrong with that.

With Love and Respect, chia* (the pet)

So I doubt I would be able to have a "bad" experience with it. They are good people and they needed some help and I had the means to help so I did. End of story. :)

Status: offline 		I find that to be the best attitude.  I generally do the same thing.  I see lending money the same as gambling in Vegas.  If I am lending it, then I can afford to never see it again.  I figure either the person will pay me back, or they won't.  I have no problems placing the bet generally, though if I lose on one horse, I don't bet that horse again.  :)

Status: offline 		I've sent money a couple times without a problem.  I was involved in a text based rpg run by a couple of 20-somethings as a hobby and a couple of times something came up, that would require sending money.  It was a real small non-commercial site.  The first time, I had been playing for about a year, and I donated some money to cover running expenses.  I figured I had spent enough time on their site that even if they used the $ for something besides paying to keep the game going, it was money well spent.  Another time it was to keep the voice chat system going.  A couple times it was to help pay expenses for a meet.  The first time I did that, I went to the meet with a whole bunch of contingency plans on the assumption that it was pretty likely that there was no meet and it was a scam because I didn't know anyone from the site off line.  But, everything went according to plan and it turned out to be a good time.

Status: offline 		For those that would like to experience loaning money to a person they know only online.

Offer:
Selling 5000.00 dollar notes at Fixed 5.5% APR. No penalty for early repayment. Interest computed monthly, based on account balance remaining on the last day of the month.

Offer 2:
Selling 10000.00 dollar notes at Fixed 6.0% APR. Same as Above.

Offer 3:
Selling 100000.00 dollar notes at Fixed 7.0% APR Same as Above.
And the added bonus, that you may convert that 100K loan to a donation, and become my permanent financial slave.

LOL. That's a joke, unless someone wants to pony up a 100K. One of those I'm kidding, unless I think I have a chance kinda deals. LOL.

Don't really regret it.   She's not a friend anymore- sort of just drifted apart.  It was like $40, so it's not really a consquential amount.
