I’ve been talking to this acclaimed “sugar daddy” and I’m trying to figure out if it’s a scam. He hasn’t asked for any bank info or any other private information. He told me that my fee for receiving my allowances was to put in $200 into Bitcoin and to send him a screenshot confirming I paid the “fee”. I have no idea how Bitcoin works but is this sketchy?

1Without bank info, how would you receive your allowances? In cash?– Rodrigo de AzevedoJul 30, 2021 at 7:33

3Any plan that involves you paying money to receive money is a scam. If the incoming money were real, they'd just deduct the fees before sending it to you.– Steve-OAug 10, 2021 at 17:46

That's all we need to see to know that it's a scam.
(And really, that's not how the sex-for-money process works.)

1@RodrigodeAzevedo - the OP is being scammed. In genuine sugar daddy - sugar baby relationships, the daddy pays the baby (for sex), not the other way around. The scam is what is called 'advance fee fraud' where the victim is asked to pay money first to get more later (which never comes). Jul 30, 2021 at 7:58

2@RodrigodeAzevedo - it probably is multipurpose, if the mark bites, you get $200 at least, and probably, therefore, they are gullible or desperate enough to be a money mule also. If you have to pay upfront, it's a scam. Jul 30, 2021 at 8:04
