Sugar Baby Scams – Stop Wasting Money And Getting Nothing

I’d say that one of the unfortunate parts of sugar dating is the risk of scams. And it’s something that you shouldn’t take lightly, as the stats show that only US users lost $1.14B because of the romance scam.

It’s easy to believe everything a hot, young girl says, as scammers are quite skilled and creative. Even if you think you are a beaten wolf who can see through everyone, it’s not always easy. If you want to keep that hard-earned in your account, read on!

How to Tell If a Sugar Baby Is Real?

One of the first things that can help you avoid getting scammed is actually paying attention to who you are planning to have an arrangement with. Your main focus should be finding a real sugar baby open to fulfilling her part of the bargain.

I’ve chatted with many sugar daddies, and most say that at least 60% of “girls” they chat with are either not sugar babies at all or never plan to meet. Sure thing, it’s not a universal statistic, but it’s a good reason to pay even more attention when you search for potential SBs.

Here are the things to check to be sure that a sugar baby is real:

She has a field profile with a few photos.
Her profile is verified if the site you choose offers such an option.
She replies relatively fast, and communication seems natural.
A potential SB doesn’t have a problem sending photos at the moment.
She is open to negotiating the conditions of your arrangement and asks questions to make sure you are real.

Also, I want to emphasize that considering the niche, most sugar babies don’t share their real names and a lot of personal information, which is a normal thing. But at the same time, having a fully empty profile or very repetitive photos is not a good sign.

Fake SB Profile Red Flags

To stay away from scammers, here are the red flags I recommend keeping your eyes peeled for:

No info and photos
Overphotoshopped and generated photos
Profile pictures that appear in Google Search results
Many mistakes and typos in messages, like the person is not a native English speaker (if the SB is American)
No verification if possible; why not appear more trustworthy if you can?
Asking for money upfront
Pressuring you to make quick decisions (send money, share sensitive info, etc.)

Usually, most sugar daddies who were scammed admit that they felt that something was wrong. So, I recommend acting immediately if you have that gut feeling that you’re communicating with a scammer. Stop your contact if you feel that something is off. You might not care about losing $50, $100, or any other amount, but you can have a banking data breach or just waste time.

How Sugar Baby Scams Work Based On Real Sugar Daters’ Experience

Modern sugar-baby scammers have so many different ways. I’ve interviewed over 50 SBs and SDs, to learn from their experience with scams. They shared the most common ways.

Fake sugar baby profiles. That’s a popular scheme where scammers create fake profiles of extremely attractive women using the photos they found on the internet, social media, or with the help of AI. Then they act like chatters whose main goal is to get you to send the money in any possible way.
Asking for an allowance upfront. Many SDs say that they were scammed with upfront payments. Usually, scammers ask for small sums, like $20-$50, for the outfit or transportation. But when you send the money, you never hear from them again. Unless they come up with the story to get a little more money out of you.
Sending links. A popular scheme is when a “future SB” asks you to save her payment info and sends a link to register on the new app, which is a scammer’s wallet. When you sign up, you get charged immediately, or the scammer copies your banking info.
Sappy stories. Some SBs get creative with their hard life stories to make you feel pity and send money. They don’t have anything saintly and will go all the way to get money out of you. And when you send them, the promises of the date never come true.
Real women who want financial support but don’t wanna meet. Some cyber-sugar babies pretend that they are interested in meeting you IRL. They flirt, pretend to negotiate an arrangement, ask for presents and small sums, and act like they wait for your date. But every time you make an arrangement, they cancel at the last minute.
Nude photos blackmailing. This is not the most common sugar baby scam, but fake SBs try to do everything so that you send nude photos so that they can blackmail you with them. If you don’t want your smaller guy to be a scammer’s weapon, at least follow the main rule of not being recognizable in your pics.

When you know all the potential scams, it’s easier to stay cautious.

How to Avoid Sugar Baby Scam

I want you to feel more confident in your safety, so I created a list of tips on how to avoid sugar baby scammers:

Use only reputable sugar baby dating sites. Avoid free sugar dating platforms and use reputable recommendations.
Contact verified sugar babies. Some sugar dating sites provide ID verification, so when you contact a potential SB, and she has a verification badge, you can be sure that the person behind the profile is who she says she is.
Mind what information you share on your SD profile and in chat. Sugar dating sites are no place for your real name, address, business, or banking info.
Never send money to strangers online. It’s harder to lose money if you are not sending it to random chicks you’ve never met.
Establish some trust and do the basic background check. In this digital era, you can find a lot of info by simple googling and profile photo searches. I know that it might be boring, but it can help you be sure that you are dealing with a real SB, not a pretending scammer.
Keep an eye on the common red flags. If you see one or multiple red flags, just cut off communication and move on. You don’t have time to waste on fake SBs.

Losing money and time is never pleasant, so follow the tips I gave you to increase your safety and enjoy a safe sugar dating experience.

The Bottom Line

Sugar baby dating can be a fun and very fulfilling experience where you get to enjoy the company of a hot girl in all ways. But it’s only so if a sugar baby is real. I’ve taught you how to pick real SB, and it’s only up to you to apply the knowledge on trustworthy sugar dating sites. Good luck!
