Let's talk about flags Part 5-Timing
Lot's of chatter (whining?

here about the increase percentages of bogus profiles. We all have to deal with them, and we all are looking for tips on how to spot them (preferably before we go through all the steps that proceed "her" ask for money upfront).
Here's a list of what I consider yellow and red flags. No single "flag" is necessarily definitive. But each additional flag adds the likelihood of a scammer/GPS Rob/Pig Butcher/Simp Farm disaster. I'll break this into several categories:
1. Pics
2. Profile text
3. Logical flaws
4. Communication modes
5. Timing
6. Real world verification results
I will make a separate post for each of these. This is Part 5-Timing
This one will be quick: Sooner is better than later, up to a point.
As a general rule, I recommend you do not start favoriting, messaging, or texting until and unless you are ready to do the M&G (or for some BCD) within the next 2 days. And on the flip side, be wary of POTs who want to meet tonight, especially if they don't want or agree to a preliminary M&G or even video chat. Scammer tactics are to create a false sense of urgency to get you to skip key steps in verification. So claims that she is going out of town tomorrow and really needs your cock now, will indeed get you fucked. But not in a good way. If she's in town now, she will be back in town again sometime. Patience is your friend if you are waiting on her.
But patience is not you friend if you make her wait on you. You have generated interest up to now, and professional sales training says this is the time for a "call to action!" Get her sign on the dotted line by agreeing to meet soon. The longer she waits for you, the more her interest can fade, or her interest in another SD who can meet and pay her soon, will increase. I've lost some really good POT's because I could not schedule a M&G for a week. Even worse, I've seen POT's who agree to wait that week, confirm the day before, then ghost me the day of.
So think about your schedule before you start down the messaging path.
I will talk about Real world verification results in Part 6.
Feel free to add comments, questions or other tips on any of the 6 parts.
Life is good
