Here's her "Seeking" Text:  
What I am Seeking
Men (Age 18-45)
"currently in an emotional abusive relationship, very toxic and wanting to leave but trying to get my funds together. looking for a friend 1st and foremost, someone to give me advice and maybe if we get along we can be special friends (when I leave my bf of course) definitely not an escort but always accepting donations (;"  

 
What would you do? Please pick one response:  
1. Being a good guy before anything else, you put on your "White Knight" Cape and reach out to offer to pay for therapy, rehousing to a safe place, and a new phone account? Then wait around for the "grateful" sex to flow.  
2. Being a good guy but not willing to risk confrontation with the toxic BF, contact her and (off the site) offer her cash to help he move out and invite her to replay you "horizontally" once she's out.  
3. Wanting her to get help, but not willing to step up for a good cause, you report her to Site Admin and LE, requesting/demanding they do some to protect her.
4. Realizing she just needs a friend right now, you contact her and offer to "be her friend" with zero expectations of any rewards.  You know you will find great reward from helping someone in true need of assistance.  
5. Realizing she has low self-esteem and you can easily exploit that, you contact her and (off the site) offer to give her weekly allowance now if she agrees to go BCD weekly now.  
6.  Realizing this may very well be a scam, but since she's SO hot, you will take the risk of contacting her and setting up a M&G asap.  
7. Realizing this is probably a scam, you just move on to other profiles.
8. Realizing that abused women are rarely able to sustain trouble-free and drama-free relationships, you privately wish her well (if she is sincere) and you just move on to other profiles.  
9. Other: (please explain)

2 and 4...but tread lightly and with eyes wide open.

Whether a scam or not, this is high risk with low probability of a positive outcome.

 
Worse case, the boyfriend murders you.

 
Not good.

I'd choose 7 or 8. There are too many potential problems with such a profile.

A risk taker with a steady head might attempt to access the jewels by navigating the booby traps, but for me the thought of being crushed by the rolling boulder first is just too great.  

There are more accessible jewels without this many booby traps.  

This screams scam to me.  Emotionally draining you to give money.  Maybe try to seek you nudes.

Sadly, I'm game and gonna try to find out.

Don't need financial and emotional trainwrecks in my life.

Recap of submitted answers:  
RCShobby:  2 and 4
mrfisher: 7
Adonis48: 7 or 8
netnoy: 6  

 
For me, the correct answer is: 7 and 8. This just screams "stay away" in my experience.  

 
RCShobby: Being a generally helpful and nice guy myself, I get the urge to be a savior, but Seeking is not the place. In my very real-life experiences, far too often, efforts to pull someone like this up just end up dragging you down to a very bad place.  

 
mrfisher and Adionis48:  You have successfully "grabbed the pebble from my hand. Time for you to leave, Grasshopper." :p  

 
netnoy: As you pointed out, this is from a REAL profile in the Los Angeles area.  But damn, Dude. You just went through 2 (if I am counting correctly) POT's who ended up with criminal records. One who stole from you, and another who almost killed someone in a hit & run.  

 
You sir, live on the EDGE!  Now if you end up balls deep in this Ginger Honey Pot, well let's hope there's no BF (i.e.: Pimp) waiting in her room to cut off your primary Sugar Daddy tools! We will all eagerly await the results of your adventure.

You are not lying here!

She looked at my profile and did not respond.

So.... More scam feelings.  Profile said online 10 minutes ago when I sent an intro.  Then within seconds viewed me with no reply.  So, bot possible with the message sorting.  Or overseas and is in bed right now and will reply at a weird time later.

Probe a bit with questions and try to detect if she's mentally stable and then set up a simple M&G with few if any expectations.

However, seeing how her upper age limit is 45 this whole excercise is probably academic for 90% of us.

I have successfully taken the pebble from Master Herb's hand and can now walk supremely through the shadows of the valley of death ready to take on scammers, fakes.. why... even gypsies tramps and thieves in hopes of scoring the golden snatch. It is hoped my destiny shall be I return to all of you carrying the sword of victory [and hopefully allow Netnoy to drink from the chalice of wisdom before he is drained of all his funds and vital juices.]  

Grasshopper Adonis      

On your scale, Herb, I choose #9.

 
I would contact her on the site, move her to text, then get her agreement to terms. (This is my standard MO.) I would not play any White Knight role.

 
If it works to move her to text, she is agreeable to adult fun (sometimes with menu details), ppm allowance number, and time and place (usually my hotel room). She is also agreeable to whatever public date before the BCD session, if necessary.

 
There is some risk of toxic boyfriend going ballistic on me somehow, but a hotel environment is in my favor. My method makes a scam less likely. To me, the tradeoff is that she seems quite likely to take any deal that will give her some cash, fast.

 
I acknowledge all the red flags. In this case, she is telegraphing the red flags. That's more than we get from a lot of SBs who have the same red flags but don't tell us about them.  

 
So in this case I see getting pussy from a hot chick who will probably move toward the money pretty fast. If it's a one time thing, that's ok with me right now. If it turns into a regular thing, well, the drama needs to be measured and calculated all along the way.  

 
I don't see the scam risk if she actually meets, and if she's making herself available because she has needs, then, welcome to sugaring.

I just don't have the bandwidth for the drama these days.  It's hard enough to avoid it with "normal" sounding SBs.  With ones as obviously nuts as this, I'd just ignore.

I believe her profile is gone now.  I never got a reply.  I'm guessing it was a scam that got shut down.

I’ve seen and heard enough BS from SBs that my scam radar screams stay away from trouble like that. Even IF her story were true, SA is not the place to look for help.
