This way, you will stay on the safe side at all times and will know how to smartly choose to meet those that are genuine sugar daddies, who have only good intentions. Here is what you need to know.

1. Become familiar with the scams that occur in the sugar daddy-sugar baby dating scene

The best way to learn how to recognize potential scammers is by becoming familiar with the type of scams that run around this online dating world. This means doing some research on the matter and find out what other, more experienced sugar babies have to say about it. Unfortunately, there are sugar babies that went through various unpleasant situations, with sugar daddies that weren’t the best option. You can learn from the mistakes of others and use the pieces of advice provided by professional sugar daddy dating websites to play this game in a safe manner. In most cases, scammers will try to take advantage by asking money, trying to be too controlling of your life or possessive, engage in emotional or physical abuse, or try to stalk or intimidate you in various ways.

2. If a sugar daddy is too generous to be true, then that’s probably the case

Be aware that some sugar daddies will try to lure you in with highly generous offers. If you have the feeling that you hit the jackpot, it is worth being careful and wary about it. You see, sugar daddies can indeed be generous, but this is something that happens in time. Most of them won’t accept spending their money without limits on a sugar baby they don’t know. They will like to see how the relationship is evolving, if you two are indeed a good match, before choosing to invest in you. A good number of sugar daddies ended up being successful and wealthy because they knew how to spend and invest their money in a smart manner. So, one that is willing to be very generous to you right from the start, without any obvious background for such behavior, might be a fake sugar daddy or a scammer.

3. Sugar daddies that ask for money are not real sugar daddies

One of the main reasons sugar babies choose to date sugar daddies is because they can obtain financial benefits from this kind of relationship. So, a sugar daddy doesn’t ask for money from a sugar baby, as it is the other way around. The sugar daddy may try to motivate his request saying that his company is going through a rough time, that it’s just temporary, and that you will get a lot of gifts, vacations, and other benefits in return for your gesture. Well, even if this sounds good, you are most certainly facing a scam. Real sugar daddies will deal with their issues on their own, in a mature and effective manner, without making you a part of it. So, never fall for this.

4. Never give your account details to a sugar daddy

This is one of the first things you can do to stay safe when dating online. Your account details are yours alone and should never be shared with anyone, no matter how great this person seems to be. If anyone is requesting this kind of detail, it is weird and suspicious right from the start, regardless of the reason. Also, do not share any type of personal information to a sugar daddy, more precisely do not provide details like bank account number, social security number, personal address, and so on. Even if you reach a good level of trust, it’s best to keep personal details to yourself, because you never know how things may evolve in time. Safety always comes first.

5. Go on several dates before deciding if the relationship is what you need and want

Let’s say all is good so far and the sugar daddy you’ve been talking to for a while doesn’t present any signs of risks or danger. So, you feel ready to meet this person for real and see how you connect in real life. If the case, feel free to go on several dates before deciding whether the relationship with this particular sugar daddy is going in the right direction. You need to see a person in several instances to tell whether you are compatible and whether you two match at a desirable level. You don’t need to agree on anything until you are certain about the things that are going on between the two of you.

6. A kind sugar daddy doesn’t mean he’s trustworthy as well

A sugar daddy may seem kind at first, willing to give you the beautiful life you’re craving to enjoy. However, a really kind sugar daddy will not try to take over your life, wishes, or destroy the boundaries you set. If a sugar daddy is trying to convince you to do things you don’t want, it’s time to stop the relationship. There are even cases when sugar daddies tried to threaten sugar babies with lawyers and lawsuits in order for them to get what they want. Don’t let yourself be intimidated in this case, as no one can force into doing the things you don’t want, like, or feel comfortable about. This kind of coercion is definitely a red flag and you should get out of that kind of relationship right away.

What to do to avoid scammers:

A scammer is stealing money from your online wallet

• Do your best to stay on the safe side at all times and protect yourself. Bear in mind that you’re having a relationship, based on mutual agreements, with a person you may never fully know. So, the task of being protected stays on you;

• Stay away from situations when you could be exploited from a financial, emotional, or physical point of view. If something appears suspicious to you or you feel uncomfortable, do your best to walk away from that situation in a diplomatic manner;

• Before actually meeting a sugar daddy and getting involved in a relationship with him, perform thorough research of his background, past, and current activity. Find out as much as you can about him, as this will help you determine whether he is what he says or seems to be;

• Make sure you have your priorities straight. Also, set boundaries for yourself and your relationship with the sugar daddy right from the start, so that you enjoy a respectful relationship. In time, it will be entirely up to you whether you change these boundaries or not.
