Babe, that online "sugar daddy" is a Scammer

Hey SugarBows! Let me guess...He slid into your DMs with “Hey princess 👑, I don’t want anything physical, just someone to spoil.” Ugh… if I had a dollar for every time a scammer started with that line, I’d be the Sugar Daddy.

Let’s be real — these fake “daddies” are everywhere. They use the language of luxury to reel in women who just want a little financial breathing room, whispering promises of allowance and affection that sound too good to be true — because they are.

🚨 The Classic Setup

It always starts the same. He says: “No sex, no meetups, just companionship.” Then suddenly he’s asking for your Cash App, bank info, or wants to “prove he’s real” by “sending you a check.”

Newsflash: he’s not proving he’s real — he’s testing if you’re gullible. If he’s offering $1,000 a week just to “talk,” that’s not generosity — that’s grooming with a PayPal link.

💅 Why It’s More Than Just a Scam

This isn’t just about money.

Scammers like this prey on young women’s trust, their dreams, and sometimes their rent deadlines.They dangle the illusion of safety — “I’ll take care of you” — while setting up to rob you blind.

It’s misogyny wrapped in emojis and fake wire transfers. They weaponize the aesthetic of sugar culture — the glam, the independence — while using it to exploit women.

Digital-age misogyny, darling, dressed up in a Gucci belt.

🚩 Red Flags: Spot Them, Block Them, Move On

• Says “I just want someone who I can confide in/will be there for me"

• Offers allowance before meeting.

• Asks for your bank info or to “verify” something.

• Won’t video call.

• Uses stolen pics from Google or Pinterest.

• Calls you “baby. sweetie. honey” right away.

If his vibe is off, you already know what to do...BLOCK HIS ASS.

💎 Real Sugar Daddies Don’t DM Strangers

Real arrangements don’t start with a random DM — they start with discernment.

Legit Sugar Daddies aren’t scrolling Instagram looking for their next “princess.” They’re on vetted sugar sites, or they meet women in person through freestyling (more on that here), not the comments section of your last selfie.

The difference? In real life, you can read the room. You see how he carries himself, how he treats people, and if the energy (and wallet) match the fantasy.

Real daddies don’t chase.They invest — in your time, your safety, and your boundaries.

So when a fake “daddy” slides in with promises of cash and care?

Smile, block, and fix your crown. You’ve got bigger bags to chase.

XOXO,
