Accidentally fell for a classic sugar baby scam

Risk Level: High

Sugar scams involve a fraudster posing as a "sugar daddy"

How it works

So what happened is I fell for a basic sugar baby scam where I was sent a check for $400 dollars. I was then asked to send $200 back. While the check DID show up in my bank account i’m worried that it will bounce later on.

Warning signs

3 different numbers have been repeatedly calling me and now THREATENING me.

How to avoid it

Contact your bank immediately and let them know that you deposited a fake check. Your physical safety is not at risk, but your bank accounts are. You need to get ahead of it. Do not wait. Do it now.
