A rural woman paid her way through college running an online sugar baby business. A new documentary tells her story.

Another perspective on scamming.

... she was "running an online sugar baby scam."  

 
She is "teaching" her friends how to commit online fraud, which is a Federal felony (18 U.S. Code § 1030 - Fraud and related activity in connection with computers)  

 
There is absolutely no doubt that she never consulted an attorney about this scam.  And she and her friends are lucky that none of their victims got mad enough to get over their embarrassment and decide to get even in a personal way.  In other words; they have literally been risking their lives to make a quick buck.  

 
After looking at the TikTok embedded in the article, it looks like her techniques (create urgency, ask for cash in advance, bail and block) would fail with any and all of our brothers here.  

 
Thanks for sharing. I'll be surprised if the local authorities in Louisiana start an investigation. Sad.

The article and film somehow justify her behavior because she is somehow a 'victim' of growing up in a poor rural area so it's okay to lie, cheat and steal and teach others how to do it. It's even worse they made a film about it and are making money from it. It sends the wrong message that it's okay to deceive people even if it's breaking the law. Just like our current politics.

A lot of people, not just these, believe that because they have struggled and others haven’t they are justified in stealing. I obviously don’t agree but it’s out there.
And in the sugar world you’ll see many of the ladies (there’s a whole subreddit of them) who feel entitled and think it doesn’t matter if they defraud us because we have plenty to spare. We need to do our best to avoid these.

It's the ones who feel entitled that irk me the most.  I had a frustrating convo with a truly lovely young thing recently who insisted on 2 to 3 times the going rate per visit.   She couldn't possibly lower her standards below that.  I tried, as gently as possible, to inform her about the wonderful arrangements I have, and have had, at sustainable ppm rates, to no avail.  It's a waste of time and effort trying to convince someone who feels entitled, that they need to change their minds.  Not gonna happen.

.. it's not a highly successful strategy. More of a Hail Mary, really.  

 
It's not uncommon: I'm talking to a POT who really seems to check all my boxes and she says I've checked all her boxes as well, but we are misaligned by a country mile on allowance.  

 
At some point she will toss a number at me, say $1200 per date. I just know we are too far apart, and even though it's painful to walk away so far into the process, I just say something like this:  

 
"Thanks for that. Sadly it's just not in my budget. I'm sure you will find what you need, but it doesn't look like it will be with me as my budget is much closer to xxx.  Good luck in your search. You deserve to be happy."  

 
That is probably the kindest "Fuck no!" she will ever get. LOL  
1. It has the appearance of validating her ask in the short term, but in the long term she will see more clearly.  
2. It gives her a graceful exit with no drama
3. It keeps you in the "good guy" category since you say she "deserves to be happy."  
4. It starts her down the path of realization that her ask is just plain unreasonable - at least on this site.  

 
One of three things will happen:  
1. She will leave, perhaps with a thank you, or perhaps by blocking you.
OR
2. She will come back with a counter offer much closer to you xxx value.
OR
3. She will complete #1, but may reach out again in a day, week, or even a few months and will ask if you are still open to meeting for value xxx.  

 
Either way, it gets you out of the GPS zone trying to internally justify more allowance than you can comfortably offer.  And it frees up your time to connect with other POT's.

So I'd add #5:  Sometimes the unexpected happens and they say yes.  I dated a duo of 2 AA girls in LA a few years ago.  They were only dating together, for safety reasons I'm sure.  They asked me for $1500 ($750 each).  I politely declined, along the lines of Herb's suggestions, and countered with $500.  To my surprise, they immediately said yes, and a fun session ensued!  They went home with $250 apiece and seemed happy to get it.  So yeah, sometimes they simply say yes!
