Tonight's reason why using fab is so difficult.....

By *anum OP Man over a year ago

Doncaster

So tonight I got speaking with a lady on fab and things progressed to looking at a potential meeting Friday night. She suggested a hotel meeting near her as she's married and can't accommodate and I happened to be in the area due to work.

We exchanged phone numbers but she refused to speak on the phone until i had sent money for the hotel room to her bank account!

I offered to book the hotel myself but this wasn't enough to get her to agree to a call.

Her profile had been active for 3 weeks had 1 picture and despite being photo verified had 0 verifications.

Call me over cautious but this not something I'm ever likely to do and didn't.

Swing safely folks, there's always someone out there that just doesn't ring true!

Plenty of stupid sods would pay it though, glad you never.

I bet there are plenty of guys that would fall for it, and then probably find either no-one at the hotel, or that they look nothing like the photo. Worse there are others there and the punter gets fleeced of all their money and probably left to pay the hotel bill!

I can’t believe you actually contemplated paying for a room if they weren’t meet verified and you hadn’t spoken to them

Well done for posting, op. There are scammers on every platform and it's good to remind folks to be careful.

You could have told her to book the hotel and you pay on the day. A credit card only guarantees the room!

I don't believe 'she' if it even really is a "she", would even ever book a room... she was just after your money.

It can but if you fail to cancel with this particular chain by midday they charge you, and the meet was planned for the evening

Any contact from admin ?

Reason I ask I that I see, read about repeat issues about fake profiles, abuse of users that is clearly a breach of T&C and don't really feel any admin presence on the forums .

Don't see anything really done about it .

Admin don’t get back to you if you report something. They take whatever action they deem appropriate. In this case all the discussion about the hotel was off fab, so there won’t be anything for admin to take action on.

I shouldn't jump to the conclusion that you just missed being conned but that would appear the obvious outcome had you sent her the Hotel accommodation-fee of £75 or whatever's the rate in that area. If Fab allows that, what a scam, s/he can get £75 out of 5 guys a night & make a killing. You were wise not to go for it, I must say I'm shocked that got past Fabs screening; maybe as a result of your report, they'll tighten up on screening such scams. I get so many guys offering me money & I have a standard reply suggesting they call their nearest Escort agency. That's against the fab ethos. I also get pejorative replies from guys who try to twist what my profile says, as I encourage guys to arrange their own swing parties, despite making it clear I'm 100% no fee & help people with parties, only because I adore better swing parties.

If the chat was off fab then reporting will be futile as it is only hear say.

Maybe useful if it becomes a repeated pattern, but it would probably require something to be said on fab for any evidence to be substantiated.

Interesting that they wanted paying into a bank account, pretty silly giving out bank details to strangers on their part, as Jerry Clarkson can testify to, people can access your money with a sort code and account number.

"I get so many guys offering me money & I have a standard reply suggesting they call their nearest Escort Agency. "

Maybe they've taken your user name to be a reference to "Belle de Jour" who is a renknowned sex worker turned writer and blogger who is high profile enough to have written in the broadsheet color supplements etc?

Thanks for clarifying .

There is a lot of other things, problems admins don't take any action on.
