One guy’s story of being invited into a sugar daddy/baby arrangement has Redditors horrified — and for good reason.

Here’s what the original poster wrote:
“I was browsing around Grindr when I got a message from an account named daddy to be his sugar baby and I’ll earn an allowance. Usually, I would ignore the hell of these messages but I tonight I was like, ‘Why not?’ So he gives me his WhatsApp, and we start messaging about it. He tells me to start off, all I’ll need to do is send sexy pics and nude videos whenever he [needs] them, and I’ll get 600 a week. Before we do that I’ll need to empty my bank account and give him access to it, essentially. I’m heavily thinking about [it], ‘cause, like, if this is legit, two weeks of that, and I’ll have made my college tuition back. Anyone else been in a position like this before? I’m open for any advice!”
How about we take this to the next level?

And boy, did commenters have advice! The first 13 comments on the post warned the guy not to do it. “Scam. Smarten up,” one user wrote. Another said, “OH HELL NO. Worse then a scam, he wants you reliant on his money so he can control you. Get. The f*ck. Out.”
One person quipped, “I have a bridge to sell you, PM me.”
“I have nothing to say about the arrangement, I’m basically a church gurl,” wrote another. “BUT I am popping in to say it’s never a good idea to give someone access to your bank account. Ever. Don’t do it. Consider Venmo, PayPal, or literally any other payment system. You should seriously consider only accepting cash from strangers.”
Words to live by!

Send him naked pics and videos. Give him access to your Bank. What could possibly go wrong???

I mean, he didn’t ask for his social security number, so it’s obviously legit.

Damn. I’ll send him some pics of my flat but nicely shaped white ass every week and we could get this set up with paypal, venmo or whatever. Give me a call daddy….!!!

Its not “worse than a scam”, its a scam.
Anybody online asking for access to your bank account is trying to scam you. Straight up.

Duh, he is still thinking it’s legit ? I mean in this day and age where con artists comes everyday with new ideas to steal your ID, information and bank account, there is some one out there is willing to give that access to a stranger?
Brian
Anyone stupid enough to fall for something like this really deserves what they get.

I have a feeling this current generation are either extremely stupid or extremely sheltered; who in their right mind would send naked pics of themselves to a complete stranger online, and to add insult to injury, give that person access to their bank account?
Then again, people send each other all kinds of compromising pictures of themselves online, and the level of naivete and privacy compromise is beyond believable.

He needs to learn the hard way. Give him your bank account info sweetie.

I get the feeling that Queerty doesn’t care much about their comment section because there are always bots in here spamming us with sex ads. How about some moderation here, toots? 😉

I think I would group the first three comments on this thread in the same category. I mean really.

i don’t know how old you are but you need to smarten up real QUICK. This total stranger wants access to your bank account. What harm could this do and what could go wrong? Who in their right mind makes access to their bank accounts to strangers? . Wow, I could use the money should i send you my name? Really doing this is like giving your money away and if you should have this happen, your bank won’t do a damned thing to help recoup it as it wouldn’t be considered stolen as you gave access. One more thing. were you aware that nude photos sent over the internet are there forever? Even if you delete them a few seconds later, who knows who might have already downloaded them. And one more thing, these nude pictures just might be used against you. Be wise!

I got that same thing on Hinge. A friend sword to me that it was an organ harvester and that I’d wake up in a tub full of ice. I’m not even what you’d call a “baby” but I definitely could have been a mark.
