Black Women Disproportionately @ Risk For Homicide
This is a spinoff to the thread where the wanna be sugar baby poster got scammed in an old scam of a fake check from a fake sugar daddy.
I am a huge advocate of not dealing with broke men, BUT I also stress that I never mix honey and money.
Only married couples with co-mingled finances should have intimacy and financial dealings.
But if you're selling it, plotting or scheming, mixing honey and money is a dangerous game to play- especially if you are not a seasoned pro.
It takes a lot of focus and dedication for a woman to get the money off of a trick and run and most people are NOT about that life.
The fake check scam is a remix of an old scam.
If someone you don’t know wants to pay you by check but wants you to wire some of the money back, beware! It’s a scam that could cost you thousands of dollars.
It is an updated modernized version of the "Bag of Money Scam"
I first learned about this scam from an Iceberg Slim book. He is known as a pimp, but he also detailed a lot of con games and scams in his books.
I am going to need people considering xes work or working men for money in exchange for "romance" to start reading Iceberg Slim before they get out there into the game. You can't just go out there unseasoned and not ready, because you will get played.
Now, because of the MRA, MGTOW, PUA and others who play mind games with women, I urge ALL WOMEN to read these books and understand the mind games and manipulation and pimp-like tactics these lames employ to break you down and have you out here making bad life decisions. It is NOT pleasant material, and it does NOT glamorize the life.
I am recommending this because I am tired of seeing women of all ages and walks of life being FOOD for these monsters that call themselves men.
I read Iceberg Slim books in middle school and hipped me to cons and game way before I was out in the world on my own.
His books embody the phrase, the game is to be sold and not to be told.
If you are going to be dealing with the underworld, xes work, prostitution, drugs, scamming, fraud, groupies, gold diggers or any kind of come up off of a mark or a trick, you need to AT LEAST understand the nature of the people in that life.
This is the true story of the pimp. The story of the smells, the sounds, the fears and the petty triumphs of his world. Told without moralizing and with no pretense of bitterness, Iceberg Slim relates his twenty-five years in the Game, from the building up of stables to losing himself on scag. It was a life of ups and downs, and to succeed you had to be utterly ruthless. Few survived- Iceberg did. Nobody but a pimp could tell this story and no-one ever has- until Iceberg Slim
This novel charts the rise of White Folks, a white negro who uses his colour as his trump card in the tough game of the con. Blue-eyed, light-haired and white-skinned, White Folks was a successful con man, a hustler in the jungle of Southside Chicago where only the sharpest survived.
Iceberg Slim, best-selling author of Pimp and Trick Baby, brings us yet another riveting classic. Continuing the saga, Long White Con tells the story of the most incredible con man ever to have risen. Iceberg Slim's story is now depicted in a major motion picture distributed worldwide. Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp shows Slim's transformation from pimp to the author of 7 classic books. Picking up where Trick Baby left off we dive into the world of Johnny O'Brien, better known as White Folks. After learning to use his fair skin to his advantage to rise to the top of the Chicago con game, Folks is back for the big money and the big stakes of the long con. Following the death of his partner and mentor, Blue, Folks takes off for Canada. Having honed his skills and polished his acting, Johnny is done cheating marks out of small money. With a gang of grifters working with him, High Pockets Kate, High Ass Marvel and the Vicksburg Kid among them, Folks is after the biggest score of his life.
In closing, ladies and Meekiana, just remember, If you're gonna play the game, don't cry when the game plays you.
But PLEASE don't think because you aren't selling it, that you are safe.
These clowns are plotting on your pockets ANY your p$$y!!!!

Fake check scams
in Money-making scams /by Fraud.org staffIf someone you don’t know wants to pay you by check but wants you to wire some of the money back, beware! It’s a scam that could cost you thousands of dollars.
Stay safe. Be Informed.
- There are many variations of the fake check scam. It could start with someone offering to buy something you advertised, pay you to do work at home, give you an “advance” on a sweepstakes you’ve supposedly won, or pay the first installment on the millions that you’ll receive for agreeing to have money in a foreign country transferred to your bank account for safekeeping. Whatever the pitch, the person may sound quite believable.
- Fake check scammers hunt for victims. They scan newspaper and online advertisements for people listing items for sale, and check postings on online job sites from people seeking employment. They place their own ads with phone numbers or email addresses for people to contact them. They buy “sucker lists” on the black market which has sensitive information of people who have been previously scammed. And they call or send emails or faxes to people randomly, knowing that some will take the bait.
- They often claim to be in another country. The scammers say it’s too difficult and complicated to send you the money directly from their country, so they’ll arrange for someone in the U.S. to send you a check.
- They tell you to wire money to them after you’ve deposited the check. If you’re selling something, they say they’ll pay you by having someone in the U.S. who owes them money send you a check. It will be for more than the sale price; you deposit the check, keep what you’re owed, and wire the rest to them. If it’s part of a work-at-home scheme, they may claim that you’ll be processing checks from their “clients.” You deposit the checks and then wire them the money minus your “pay.” Or they may send you a check for more than your pay “by mistake” and ask you to wire them the excess. In the sweepstakes and foreign money offer variations of the scam, they tell you to wire them money for taxes, customs, bonding, processing, legal fees, or other expenses that must be paid before you can get the rest of the money.
- The checks are fake but they look real. In fact, they look so real that even bank tellers may be fooled. Some are phony cashiers checks, others look like they’re from legitimate business accounts. The companies whose names appear may be real, but someone has dummied up the checks without their knowledge.
- You don’t have to wait long to use the money, but that doesn’t mean the check is good.Under federal law, banks have to make the funds you deposit available quickly–usually within one to five days, depending on the type of check. But just because you can withdraw the money doesn’t mean the check is good, even if it’s a cashier’s check. It can take weeks for the forgery to be discovered and the check to bounce.
- You are responsible for the checks you deposit. That’s because you’re in the best position to determine the risk–you’re the one dealing directly with the person who is arranging for the check to be sent to you. When a check bounces, the bank deducts the amount that was originally credited to your account. If there isn’t enough to cover it, the bank may be able to take money from other accounts you have at that institution, or sue you to recover the funds. In some cases, law enforcement authorities could bring charges against the victims because it may look like they were involved in the scam and knew the check was counterfeit.
- There is no legitimate reason for someone who is giving you money to ask you to wire money back. If a stranger wants to pay you for something, insist on a cashiers check for the exact amount, preferably from a local bank or a bank that has a branch in your area.

Bag Of Money Scam
Scenarios
- A person approaches you and claims that they just found a bag of money. They show you the inside of the bag (there might be a twenty dollar bill bundled with a bunch of newspaper)
- They say they will split it with you but they have to make a phone call or something - OR - they say they are going to get the police and they need you to hold onto the bag.
- They ask for "trust money" from you, so you won't "cheat" them (as much money as you say you have on you at the time).
- They leave with your money and you get nothing.
How to avoid this
- Do not deal with people who approach you on the street, they are the ones who are most likely to try to grab your money and run.
- If someone approaches you who seems suspicious, tell them that you would be happy to go the police for them.
- Do not let a stranger force you into making a rash decision. This is how most scams succeed.
