The Sugar Daddy / Secret Benefits Scam – What are the “Mechanics”?

[Jumping Jack Flash]

Additionally i've been wondering why seeking is getting less and less popular for my type, I tried googling how to find a sugar daddy/how to find a sugar baby? to see what would be seen on both sides of the fence for someone looking to get into it. Seeking doesn't really make an appearance in current advice articles, hence new girls getting into it are seemingly directed to secretbenefits, sugardaddy, and sugardaddymeet. Currently the best for my type & value for money I found is the vanilla dating apps, using template messages I've found on the Reddit threads for 'freestyling'.

Personally I think Seeking has had its day. Their move to a more traditional style “dating” site has changed it completely. They also removed the word “arrangement” from their registered name. Most of the users on both sides are/were looking for an arrangement so why change it?

They now see themselves as some kind of high end dating site which is utter bollocks. They got greedy and milked the cash cow dry and now the proverbial bird has flown the nest.

Agreed, it's still good, not great, seen better days, it is surprising something's not filled the void. Theres usually multiple decent options for a service, however, with seeking they're still the best option out there, even though they're not trying to be an option anymore.

I don't know the ins and outs, possibly theres issues for sa and any new sites with legislation due to it being a platform used for solicitation. Either way, I don't think the demands gone away, there's just not a good option that's well promoted right now, hence why i'm currently using sa and trying out different things too.

One particular girl who reached out to me on sa a couple of months ago, I was considering meeting, but decided against it, as I wasn't sure what she looked like, I found a picture of her, looking hot in a bikini on secret benefits, and realised she has huge tits. So resubscribed to sa today & i'm going to try and set up a meet with her.

Given that we're talking about SB, and there's not (yet) independent evidence that the SB profile is genuine, might it be that the profile is faked, the photo stolen and/or the big tits photoshopped?

Sure tits can be photoshopped, she had a verification video on SB, not sure where SB would steal a video of her saying 'let me be your secret' from, unless they're paying girls to say it.

This was a while ago, moved her to wa from sa but her wa profile pic wasn't the level of her sa pics, so left it.

Subscribed to sb since that post, not for me.

I am taking the liberty of pasting here an extract from a post made this morning on another thread by dmitrybulgakov, late of this parish (10:35:38 pm, 14 January 2018 – 03:54:40 pm, 28 June 2024), because it describes a Secret Benefits scam that has not previously been identified – and it would be helpful to have all the evidence against SB in one thread to assist anyone (sadly, not me) who might one day bring on some heavy guns and try to drive these cowboys out of town.

Hello folks

So, till last month I have had 1500i credits with secret benefits. Each contact costs you about 10 credits.

I did found few chicks from there, and have balled a few.

Suddenly my reach became absolute zero. Even the with the babes I actually met from the site. They were not able to see me, but I could see them online or offline. This made me very suspicious.

So I asked a babe, who I met via Secret Benefits a favour, and asked her to search for my profile, and voila! as suspected SB has gulped my money, and made my profile invisible!

I have been contacting them for 10 days now, and they just won't reply.

You will find the screenshot provided to me by a friendly sugar-babe. [In fact not available.] My name must show in the results as either online or today at bare minimum. But it is not there! vanished!

Here you are with this scammers.

If anyone is still using secretbenefit they have recently changed the last online indicator, now seem to have online, online today, online recently, last online, and nothing

In keeping with my principle of trying to put all the evidence in one place, here's the first post by Timsmall on his recent thread "Secret Benefits-help required":

"I used this site and was making some good progress with willing sugar babies but the place was full of scammers too. I complained and to be fair they refunded my subscription but closed my account immediately. I no longer have the women’s details. I try to rejoin using different email and a vpn but am blocked. I don’t know how. Anyone had similar problems and how did you overcome them?"

This is a very standard experience for those using Secret Benefits – and is indeed only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the site's wide range of scams and fraudulent processes and procedures.
