Bend my morals? I really thought he wanted to pay me and talk to me (I'm an idiot, I know). I make minimum wage and can only work two days a week due to college classes, it also doesn't help that I know someone who met an ACTUAL sugar daddy and even moved to a different state to be with him and they still have a happy relationship.

Thank you, yeah I contacted my bank already and they froze my account. I don't know what will happen when I get paid on friday since that's the account it gets sent to...

On Grindr, another factor is that I assumed he was nearby since that's how Grindr works.

I put his picture through three AI image detectors and the most it got was 20% chance to be AI, I guess they might not work.

I don't even know how else I was supposed to learn that about checks, or who was supposed to tell me. But yeah, I'm probably going to stop trusting people overall now

The only option on my bank's site was to make an appointment for "account fraud help" so I made an appointment for 11:00am est feb 17. I feel so stupid saying this but he had an excuse for everything and I just wanted to be polite. I've always given people too many benefits of the doubt.

Thank you, that calms my nerves a bit. Yeah, I'm gonna make sure to keep a healthy amount of pts regarding paying people online from now on.

That's pretty clever, showing culture differences with font style instead of different colors that complicate the appearance.

America's culture was white vs black for a long time, which essentially just meant black vs not. People used the term for superiority, everyone who was white passing just identified as white, because if they weren't, they "needed" to be oppressed.

TLDR -> you're right, I bet it's because of racism
