Some non-scammers may be picky about how they transfer money, but scammers are almost always interested in forcing transactions via specific channels, because they believe these channels will allow them to be more successful.
Insistence on transfers via specific methods. You might consider reporting the incident to an anti-fraud or anti-scam unit near you.Īs other answers have pointed out, this is almost certainly a scam - there are some nuances to the "sugar daddy" aspect, but there are also some very obvious red flags. Tell the scammer that you are not going to forward any money, or better still break off contact with them entirely. If the money had not yet arrived in the account I would recommend you should probably close it. If you provided a password change it immediately. Your best course of action here is to do absolutely nothing with any money. You can read the details in other questions, and there are variations, but in this case, after you have sent the money to the caregiver, it will turn out that the money deposited to your account wasn't real, or the deposit will be reversed, leaving the amount you sent out of your pocket into the scammer's.Īnd yes, the bank will come after you for the money you now owe them. And more importantly the pattern of "I'll send you money and then you send some of it to someone else" is a classic scam. And nobody with an 'account manager' needs you to send money to their mother's caretaker. Nobody sends you free money if they don't know you. Then he said don’t let him down and I asked him if he was threatening me and he kept saying I need this done but didn’t really answer my question.Īm I being scammed? I’m about to change my password but is this a scam? I kept questioning him and he was saying that he works in construction and he’s trusting me to carry out the errand. Then later on he sent the money and said he sent me a bonus and that I was supposed to use that to pay his mothers caregiver, which he didn’t mention until after. Then said he wanted to send me a surprise for being his baby.
But then he asked for my address and I asked why and he said just wondering. So I set up an account with a bank that I don’t use so that my primary account isn’t used.Įventually he was in the process of sending me money and we had agreed on a amount that wasn't crazy. He said his account manager deals with his finances.
He asked for my bank account information and I told him you can use cash app or PayPal to go through. I met a guy on a sugar daddy dating site and we talked, I told him my situation and he said he would help.
