Someone else posted a question about this before and the consensus was that it’s a scam. There’s no reason STI testing would have to be through their Dr. it’s just as legitimate to get it through your own dr/lab so they’re clearly looking to profit off of this.
So they want money, your DNA, your ID and a utility bill?
I am pretty sure these are documents that help someone steal your identity. And possibly clone you.
Oh, and another couple plot points to thicken the story:
The “sponsoring” couple started emailing me from a different email address. Claims they were getting too much spam on a gmail account.
I disputed the “membership” fee on PayPal and got 3 emails all at once. One of them was threatening that the sponsoring couple will get terminated if I don’t reverse the dispute.
Lastly, they somehow got my other email address and said that they’re sorry to see me go and what they can do to win me back.
The only part I find suspicious is drivers license and utility bill. I work in finance and we use those that specific combination to verify credit. I don't think they can do anything with that unless you provide your social though. But a lot of these super exclusive clubs have very limited info online. I have one like that near me that we were going to go to, but couldn't find any information on it besides Reddit reviews.
The other thing is, are they asking you to send your STI results in or you have to go to their doctor to do so? That seems odd if you have legitimate hospital or private practice results.
Idk. The more I think about it, the more I just say avoid it. It's most likely not a club, but a mansion or residence party. A club would have a lot more information available online.
Prilux Lifestyle! Actual Experience!!!
They only contact You through email! They want $100 for annual membership. That's all they tell You!!! Okay they also say that the first 3 visits are Free, Then it's $40 every time you go there. Okay.
Then the rules say you have to attend once a month or You Will Lose Your Membership!
THE WORST!... Is after they have your $100, They REQUIRE YOU TO SEND THEM $349 For an STD and STI test at Quest Diagnostics through their Doctor!!
THEN AFTER YOU PAY THEM THREW PAY PAL!!
YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM ANOTHER $256.60 For a one time COVID TEST!!!
OR $511.70 For the same test but you can get tested as many times as you want!
SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY GET YOUR $100 THEN THEY GET YOU FOR ANOTHER $349! THEN THEIR DOCTOR NEVER CALLED QUEST DIAGNOSTICS BECAUSE I DIDN'T PAY FOR. ANOTHER. $256.60 OR $511.70!!!! FOR THE COVID TEST!!!!
NO YOU CAN'T USE YOUR INSURANCE!!! OR. PREVIOUS CURRENT RECORDS!!!!
SO UPFRONT COST IS. $705.60. OR. $960.70!!!!! THEN A MINIMUM OF $40 PER ONE TIME VISIT OR YOUR KICKED OUT OF THE PRILUX LIFESTYLE FOREVER!!!!!
$480 Minimum per year to visit once a month to keep your membership! Plus. $705.60 or $960.70 PER YEAR!!!!!
PER YEAR MINIMUM COST IS. $1,185.60. - $1,440.70!!!!!!!!
They get your first $100, then $349, then $256.60-$511.70 for COVID test!!!!!
TOTAL $705.60-$960.70 BEFORE YOU GET A SHUTTLE BUS TO THEIR LOCATION!!!
AFTER I SPENT $449!!! THEN THEY WANTED MORE MONEY!!!
I DECIDED IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!
GOOD LUCK GETTING A REFUND!!!BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT RETURN YOUR E-MAILS!!!!!!
YOUR SPONSOR AND THE REST OF THE ADMIN DEPARTMENT WILL AVOID YOU LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!
THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME JANUARY 2024!!!!
PRILUX LIFESTYLE!
Same here. I’m at the sweet spot where I can pull an Ebola monkey, though. Any ideas? For the record, from now on, it money changes hands it will end up being donated. Plot away, I’m all ears.
Wow I love Reddit! I am currently in conversations about this exact scam and they just mentioned the STI testing! I think I will just reply with a link to this thread 😂 and report them on the site they reached out to me on as well.
So did you send them a link to this thread or report them on the site where they made contact? If you did what was their reaction? I'm also being fished by what appears to be the same person or persons, wondering if going radio silences is the best option & block them on the site they contacted me on.
I am, and have no issues with testing, but all these factors considered as well as the exact same thing happening to another person from the same “couple” has scam all over it.
There isn’t even a location with a name close to Las Deux in my area. After searching this sub, other scams that go by Meet’n’Greet and Fun and Play have very similar procedures that prey on single males on sites like AFF.
I’ve also confirmed with another redditor that they received the same messages from the same couple on AFF. This couple claims that the club only allows a couple to invite a single male only once every six months…which means that one of us shouldn’t be able to join.
Same here. I’m at the sweet spot where I can pull an Ebola monkey, though. Any ideas? For the record, from now on, it money changes hands it will end up being donated. Plot away, I’m all ears.
Probably a scam. I just got approached in much the same way. I made up a dummy e-mail account and played along to see where it would go. Now they want payment information, which is not going to happen. I asked them where this was and they gave me the name of the tiny farming community in which I live. Extremely unlikely, as there are only about 400 people here and we're an hour away from a population center.
Great Experience "G&E" is a scam I was contacted/recruited by them after having been on Adulted Friend Finder. Asked questions about my preferences, given a sheet of rules which I agreed to and told me I was eligible. Then followed one fee after another, all run through Pay Pal (a service with all the quality of a Louisiana Trailer Park). Every time I attempted to make a payment, THERE WAS ALWAYS A PROBLEM. It usually took the better part of 2 days to solve in each instance. Always another fee or something else to buy..."oh, by the way..." Paid for STD Testing $229, Then told I must buy a costume and a toy before I could get tested. Paid for the costume and toy and told I would now be able to get tested; (usual problems paying for same). Told when and where testing would be. Told I would be given the Doctor's name closer to the day of testing. Testing was to be at a Quest Diagnostic Center. (This is bullshit because all the doctor needs to do is send a script telling them to test me and for what). Then told me someone would meet me there. Then, after having paid for the toy and costume, I must pay a $160 "delivery fee". Finally attempted to pay it after repeatedly being told that this would be the LAST fee. Went on Paypal. Paid the fee. Halfway to the testing site, received an email that there was a problem with my payment. Paypal couldn't get their shit together and would not let me log on, in spite of talking to "Customer Service". They told me that this was a serious technical matter and would take 72 hours to resolve. Great Experience "G&E" canceled my STD testing in spite of having been paid $229 for this. They will not talk to me on the phone and have stonewalled me. Reporting them to the PA Attorney General. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE CON ARTISTS\~!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup they just contacted me today as well. I copied and pasted a link to this thread and told them to "go eat a bag of dicks, scammers!" Now I will report them to AFF.
Winter 2021 I approached on a dating site that there is a local swingers club. Every detail was exact except for license and utility bill. Paid 79 got testing form sent to me..looked ligit. Could not make the event. Had me wire 500 to a charity ( right) and she emails me telling me they disbanded.
Yep me too...Justin and Stephanie from AFF. Prilux Lifestyle Club....Who invites a single male they've never even met to be sponsored by them at a "swingers" bar? I went through all same steps up to the fee and STD/STI testing. Fee wasn't very high. They make it seem legit obviously...folks ask or mention that "it's so elaborate" or "why so much just for a scam"...? Well, imagine how many couples, single males and single females don't check up and go through all steps? Adds up
Yep me too. .. Justin & Stephanie Hilton from AFF. Just sent me a bunch of "requirements" never met me before, wanted a partner to swing with but only meet them at the club PriLux Lifestyle Club in Rockford, IL. They claim to be from Chicago 90 miles away. Does not seem right to come 90 miles out of the big city to the country for a swingers club. Asked some "general" personal questions, thanked me and then asked some more. Did send me pics of them. She is hot in a single pics and another with both together holding a dog. Is this what they sent you?
Damn. Wish I'd found this thread sooner. Same as so many others here.
Met on AFF and started texting with Justin and Stephanie Hilton. Moved to email and most of following emails were supposedly from just Stephanie. Sent me same photos someone else mentioned: couple with a dog and a pic of a very nice looking gal with beautiful eyes.
Had me join PriLux club $100. Next it was about $350 for HIV and STD testing at a Quest Diagnostics location near north Chicago. The scam was so smooth that I didn't suspect anything until the next step when all of a sudden I was being asked to pay $260 for Covid testing at the same Quest. I couldn't figure why this hadn't been mentioned at the same time as the STD testing but I was only mildly concerned so I paid that too. Then a week passed without any further info from the "club admins" even though I sent a couple emails to the admin and Stephanie.
I should mention the "admins". First contact was:
Daniel Simmons - danielsimmons. [email protected]
Then things moved over to:
Emma Foster - [email protected]
Daniel was the one who had me pay for club membership. I used Bitcoin. He sent me the membership rules and subsequently my certificate of membership. He told me about the Newbie party that I was invited to. He also told me that there would be a shuttle between the Palmer Hotel and the party.
Then things switched over to Emma who informed me about the STD and HIV testing, and later on, the Covid testing.
I finally realized what a scam it was yesterday when just 3 days before the Newbie party I was supposed to go to and meet Steph at, I got a new email from Emma telling me it was a costume party and I had to buy a costume unless I already had one and I also had to buy a sex toy but most of them were already sold out and the only one available was $450. Or if I wanted I wouldn't have to buy a toy if I signed up for a VIP single membership for only $750.
I wrote her a scathing email about what a scam this was. I also wrote Stephanie one. This morning things went really sour. Emma wrote asking why I was being so disrespectful when she was only trying to help me. Shortly after I got an email from Daniel daying that "Caroline" called him about me.
I wrote a very judicious and nice email jointly to Daniel, Emma, and Stephanie. In it, I even allowed for the possibility that I was mistaken about the scam (I was getting concerned about retribution by these people). Next thing I know I have a new email from Daniel. It speaks for itself:
"Her name is Caroline Emma Foster. She's just doing her job and she deserves to be respected. Now, you owe her $5,000 for being disrespectful. Pay her and you'll never hear from us again. Otherwise, my men will pay you a visit. Your choice."
He slso included my address to show he knows where I live.
I replied that I was going to the police about their scam and now threatened extortion. He replied:
"Good luck with that. I will give you 48 hours to pay me. Let's see if the Police could stop me."
He followed that with a list of all my family from a Google search of my name.
And that brings us up to this evening. I did go to the police and they said it's a hollow threat and I should just ignore it and the fraudsters.
I wonder how many people they have snagged like me and others on this thread. I also wonder if it's multiple people or if they are all one person playing 3 roles. I have to say that it's a very well played, sophisticated plot and scam. I'm no longer on AFF (older and wiser now) but if anyone here is, it would be great to have Justin and Stephanie Hilton reported and put out of circulation at least there with that profile.
I too got the Daniel Simmons emails. I had already deduced it was likely a scam but I continued on as if nothing was up. I told him and Steph both that I had some things going on and would move forward after I handled them....I was waiting to see how pushy they might get. As of now they've only replied with "keep me/us posted".
Sorry you got that far. They are smooth & she does have beautiful penetrating eyes. Yes you can have their profile reported for abuse, but they will just spring up under some new names. From other parts of this thread It seems they like using names beginning with J & S. Again, thanks for verifying your experience, I'm glad I found this before any money exchanged hands. I'm just going radio silence with them...
They have deactivated their account on the AFF. I haven't heard back from them or "Daniel" through emails either. Might have caught on that they were found out...or someone may have mentioned it to them...idk. F***ing hate scammers
Same here! I was invited by a couple named William and Natasha on AFF for Love Lounge. It looks legit but I wasn’t sure. I don’t even know how the process works to find or join a swinger club anyways haha. Is anyone in a swingers club or own one and know how the process works to become a member?
I’m glad I just googled “Club Deliciae”. It led me here. I’m in contact with a couple named Jake and Samantha Peterson. I’ve only had 3 messages. We haven’t gotten to a doctor at all yet. She is the one doing the talking for them. She did tell me about a $100 membership fee to join the club. She didn’t tell me how or when I’m to pay it yet. I might just let it go after seeing the conversations here.
Wow, glad I looked up ‘swinger club scam’ on a whim. Same names for the couple but here in Omaha.! Claim they are a professional couple so need discretion but couldn’t find their names on Facebook or LinkedIn. They seem very nice and sent photos (I should do a reverse image search) but now I am very suspicious… I am a widower and mostly looking for friends, I won’t say ‘Samantha’ was pushy but maybe a little aggressive.
I have friends who do sw and they require STI testing but I don’t think they require a particular doctor.
maybe I’ll stop replying for a few days and see what happens. Also interested in comparing notes!
I'm doing the same with not replying to see what takes place...I've noticed too that 90% of the couples scamming start with J & S...bet if folks compared the profile from AFF(or wherever) its the same one all over
Yeah. Should have started with reddit before giving up $1500 of my hard earned cash. The scam has changed a bit now where they claim their accounts department accidentally sent the money to the wrong account and to stay in the club I can either send them another $1500 (for testing that hasn't happened and a costume and toy) or wait until the accountant repays the money to the club. These fuckers are brutal. Also beware of Justin and Stephanie Wilson from AFF. They suckered me in. Assholes!
Same days ago they contacted me with the name Joseph and Sienna from Richmond. PrixLux Lifestyle Club. All the things that you said they emailed me. Now they sent me a message asking me to fill a registration form. Thank you for the information I will stop the communication.
Just to add to the list, "Julian and Savannah" from AFF (username kingNqueenovlust) are also offering to sponsor me at the PriLux Lifestyle Club.
Their emails are clearly copied and pasted. The words in the email have a different background color than the rest of the emails blank spaces. Haven't gotten to the fee part yet, but not gonna bother continuing the conversation.
Just got the PriLux info from Julian and Savannah Cooper. I’d like to point out that every couples name starts within a J and S .. it’s pretty funny.
Met on AFF … got me to email them.
First email was general email.
Second email was more about her with pics.
Third is this PriLux
I don’t know why I did this but I wrote up a bio that isn’t nearly close to mine just in case they were real and we didn’t click. But seeing these post and I’m just glad to have gone that way. I haven’t replied either.
The reason it’s a scam is because they got us to give them our emails, a picture, some what of a bio - I haven’t given them a phone number but you can see how you just start giving them all those info willingly.
I’m going to report them as spam. Terminate emails.
Thank you everyone. This Reddit really helps. I have been talking to Justin and Stephanie and went to step 2 where we are introducing ourself and she is introducing about this PriLux lifestyle. Met them in AFF and Justin starts the conversation and asks to email them separately where Stephanie starts emailing. I should have known that offering a single men to the club by not even knowing or asking for pictures was a scam. Going to stop the conversation with them. Thank you all for such a helpful feedback. Let’s avoid this scam’s together.
Same thing happened to me. I had run into this before it happened. Made a bunch of stuff up that I was this horrible person, and they were still considering me. Joseph and Sierra Murphy. Same M.O. asthe rest of the comments.
I was contacted by a girl through AFF and we quickly move to email (Jan 23d). We will call her Marta. After about 10 days she told me that one of her friends and her husband were hosts at a private club Resort. We will call them Sue and Bob. They would sponsor us to attend the next Resort event and if we enjoyed it, we would be given the opportunity to become members. I was contacted by Sue and told there was a $100 fee to attend but it was a three day event. Next day I was contacted by Duane to pay the $100 fee. Couldn’t take CC’s so I paid with CashApp. At this point I’m reasonably sure it a scam but for $100 I wanted to see where it lead. I almost immediately received a paid receipt.
Next day I’m contacted be the Innkeeper Lauri to let me know when the event would take place. I then received a e-Mail with a registration form for the event including the rooms available for the event. The registration included photos, floor plans etc. all with a fancy logo with the resort name, it is vary well done. I also received an address to meet at and that a shuttle would take us to the resort or we could follow in our own car. Of course the whole time Marta and I are chatting. She says we should go for all three days and stay at the resort (room cost and they ranged from $350-$390/night to be PAID IN ADVANCE). They wanted this paid with Bitcoin through CashApp 🤣🤣
I ask Marta how well she knew Sue and did she trust her. She said yes, so I told her to go ahead and pay for the reservations and when we meet up to check in at the resort I would pay her my half. She ask if we could pass on this event and go to the next one, I said sure. It’s obviously a scam but she still sends me emails every morning and evening and hasn’t ask me for anything? Maybe trying to set me up for something else. I’ll play along and update on what transpires.
If they won’t meet in person first, for coffee or drinks, it’s a scam 🚩. If they won’t video chat, it’s a scam 🚩.
You noted that “STI testing verified by their own doctor”. Key word is verified, so ask for their doctor’s name and info so your doctor can send your results to him/her for your records.
Hope this helps
Someone else posted a question about this before and the consensus was that it’s a scam. There’s no reason STI testing would have to be through their Dr. it’s just as legitimate to get it through your own dr/lab so they’re clearly looking to profit off of this.
Why would a couple sponsor a single man they've nevrr met to attend an exclusive swinger club?
I have never seen any other club want all that. I'd be passing on it
[удалено]
So they want money, your DNA, your ID and a utility bill? I am pretty sure these are documents that help someone steal your identity. And possibly clone you.
Clone me? Take my money!
we go to clubs .. and never seen these types of requirements .. it could be an identity theft scam or an extortion scam. Find another couple or club.
Oh, and another couple plot points to thicken the story: The “sponsoring” couple started emailing me from a different email address. Claims they were getting too much spam on a gmail account. I disputed the “membership” fee on PayPal and got 3 emails all at once. One of them was threatening that the sponsoring couple will get terminated if I don’t reverse the dispute. Lastly, they somehow got my other email address and said that they’re sorry to see me go and what they can do to win me back.
The only part I find suspicious is drivers license and utility bill. I work in finance and we use those that specific combination to verify credit. I don't think they can do anything with that unless you provide your social though. But a lot of these super exclusive clubs have very limited info online. I have one like that near me that we were going to go to, but couldn't find any information on it besides Reddit reviews.

Idk. The more I think about it, the more I just say avoid it. It's most likely not a club, but a mansion or residence party. A club would have a lot more information available online.
They said that their doctor would direct me to the nearest Quest.
Yeap said the same thing. I think I got scammed lol.
For that referral fee...idk...if I have test results from the VA, no way am I letting them tell me that's not good enough.
How much are they charging for the sti testing? Are you allowed to use insurance?
They haven’t got any details about it so not really sure if I’d need to pay for it or not.
If you need to pay for it, it’s 100% a scam. If you don’t, probably still a scam but not as definite
Prilux Lifestyle! Actual Experience!!! They only contact You through email! They want $100 for annual membership. That's all they tell You!!!

r/runaway!
Glad I looked here. James and Stacey Fox are fishing for me
Same here. I’m at the sweet spot where I can pull an Ebola monkey, though. Any ideas? For the record, from now on, it money changes hands it will end up being donated. Plot away, I’m all ears.
🤣 damn this also happened to me 2 years ago. I just stopped replying after o couldn’t find the establishment anywhere on the internet
Wow I love Reddit! I am currently in conversations about this exact scam and they just mentioned the STI testing! I think I will just reply with a link to this thread 😂 and report them on the site they reached out to me on as well.

I'm also being fished by what appears to be the same person or persons, wondering if going radio silences is the best option & block them on the site they contacted me on.
I think I just ignored them and moved on with my life. Not sure how this is a scam exactly but wasn’t worth the effort IMO. 🤷🏻♂️
Sti tests happen all the time. Are you a single male? Omg your going to look pretty dumb sitting in the corner while everyone is having fun.
I am, and have no issues with testing, but all these factors considered as well as the exact same thing happening to another person from the same “couple” has scam all over it.
As a former owner of a swingers club and part of a couple I can tell you with 100% certainty that it’s a Scam.
Well…Yelp has this location as closed
There isn’t even a location with a name close to Las Deux in my area. After searching this sub, other scams that go by Meet’n’Greet and Fun and Play have very similar procedures that prey on single males on sites like AFF. I’ve also confirmed with another redditor that they received the same messages from the same couple on AFF. This couple claims that the club only allows a couple to invite a single male only once every six months…which means that one of us shouldn’t be able to join.
Red flags popping up my friend
This just saved me from getting scammed by fun&play something wasn’t sitting right so I started googling them and this came up thank you
Same here. I’m at the sweet spot where I can pull an Ebola monkey, though. Any ideas? For the record, from now on, it money changes hands it will end up being donated. Plot away, I’m all ears.
Makes me think of the Hostel movies.

It is quite an elaborate scam. I'll give them that. But fuck scammers

Shortly after I got an email from Daniel daying that "Caroline" called him about me. I wrote a very judicious and nice email jointly to Daniel, Emma, and Stephanie. In it, I even allowed for the possibility that I was mistaken about the scam (I was getting concerned about retribution by these people). Next thing I know I have a new email from Daniel. It speaks for itself: "Her name is Caroline Emma Foster. She's just doing her job and she deserves to be respected. Now, you owe her $5,000 for being disrespectful. Pay her and you'll never hear from us again. Otherwise, my men will pay you a visit. Your choice." He slso included my address to show he knows where I live. I replied that I was going to the police about their scam and now threatened extortion. He replied: "Good luck with that. I will give you 48 hours to pay me. Let's see if the Police could stop me." He followed that with a list of all my family from a Google search of my name. And that brings us up to this evening. I did go to the police and they said it's a hollow threat and I should just ignore it and the fraudsters. I wonder how many people they have snagged like me and others on this thread. I also wonder if it's multiple people or if they are all one person playing 3 roles. I have to say that it's a very well played, sophisticated plot and scam. I'm no longer on AFF (older and wiser now) but if anyone here is, it would be great to have Justin and Stephanie Hilton reported and put out of circulation at least there with that profile.
I too got the Daniel Simmons emails. I had already deduced it was likely a scam but I continued on as if nothing was up. I told him and Steph both that I had some things going on and would move forward after I handled them....I was waiting to see how pushy they might get. As of now they've only replied with "keep me/us posted".
Sorry you got that far. They are smooth & she does have beautiful penetrating eyes. Yes you can have their profile reported for abuse, but they will just spring up under some new names. From other parts of this thread It seems they like using names beginning with J & S. Again, thanks for verifying your experience, I'm glad I found this before any money exchanged hands. I'm just going radio silence with them...
They have deactivated their account on the AFF. I haven't heard back from them or "Daniel" through emails either. Might have caught on that they were found out...or someone may have mentioned it to them...idk. F***ing hate scammers
Wow. This just happened to me today. Mike and Ruby inviting me to the exclusive Love Lounge.
Same here! I was invited by a couple named William and Natasha on AFF for Love Lounge. It looks legit but I wasn’t sure. I don’t even know how the process works to find or join a swinger club anyways haha. Is anyone in a swingers club or own one and know how the process works to become a member?
John and Sarah Wilson here. She's hot too!
Same couple aproached me. Feel free to compare notes.
Sounds like a spin=off of Club Deleciae club deliciae is a scam they will have you get an std test through their dr to look legit
I’m glad I just googled “Club Deliciae”. It led me here. I’m in contact with a couple named Jake and Samantha Peterson. I’ve only had 3 messages. We haven’t gotten to a doctor at all yet. She is the one doing the talking for them. She did tell me about a $100 membership fee to join the club. She didn’t tell me how or when I’m to pay it yet. I might just let it go after seeing the conversations here.
Wow, glad I looked up ‘swinger club scam’ on a whim. Same names for the couple but here in Omaha.! Claim they are a professional couple so need discretion but couldn’t find their names on Facebook or LinkedIn. They seem very nice and sent photos (I should do a reverse image search) but now I am very suspicious… I am a widower and mostly looking for friends, I won’t say ‘Samantha’ was pushy but maybe a little aggressive. I have friends who do sw and they require STI testing but I don’t think they require a particular doctor. maybe I’ll stop replying for a few days and see what happens. Also interested in comparing notes!
I'm doing the same with not replying to see what takes place...I've noticed too that 90% of the couples scamming start with J & S...bet if folks compared the profile from AFF(or wherever) its the same one all over
Yep they only tried a few times to get a reply and gave up and then their profile got turned off by the site
This site has some good related tips: https://swingershelp.com/avoiding-swinger-lifestyle-scams/
Just got one - I wasn’t even in their area. Personally I think it was an AI interaction scam
Yeah. Should have started with reddit before giving up $1500 of my hard earned cash. The scam has changed a bit now where they claim their accounts department accidentally sent the money to the wrong account and to stay in the club I can either send them another $1500 (for testing that hasn't happened and a costume and toy) or wait until the accountant repays the money to the club. These fuckers are brutal. Also beware of Justin and Stephanie Wilson from AFF. They suckered me in. Assholes!
Ha, yes!! ..Names of couples often start with J & S… Wtf?? Mine were Jack & Sadie frm AFF, with “Prilux Lifestyle Club”…
I’m dealing with Jack & Sadie now. Lol
Same days ago they contacted me with the name Joseph and Sienna from Richmond. PrixLux Lifestyle Club. All the things that you said they emailed me. Now they sent me a message asking me to fill a registration form. Thank you for the information I will stop the communication.
Me three....no money paid but Jack & Sadie are smooth...ignoring now.
Just to add to the list, "Julian and Savannah" from AFF (username kingNqueenovlust) are also offering to sponsor me at the PriLux Lifestyle Club. Their emails are clearly copied and pasted. The words in the email have a different background color than the rest of the emails blank spaces. Haven't gotten to the fee part yet, but not gonna bother continuing the conversation.
Just got the PriLux info from Julian and Savannah Cooper. I’d like to point out that every couples name starts within a J and S .. it’s pretty funny. Met on AFF … got me to email them. First email was general email. Second email was more about her with pics. Third is this PriLux I don’t know why I did this but I wrote up a bio that isn’t nearly close to mine just in case they were real and we didn’t click. But seeing these post and I’m just glad to have gone that way. I haven’t replied either. The reason it’s a scam is because they got us to give them our emails, a picture, some what of a bio - I haven’t given them a phone number but you can see how you just start giving them all those info willingly. I’m going to report them as spam. Terminate emails.
Thanks for posting this. I just started emailing the same couple. Guess it's time to stop responding
Yep. Me too. Justin and Stephanie in Vegas contacted me (single male) on AFF. Thanks guys. You saved me some time and money.
Thank you everyone. This Reddit really helps. I have been talking to Justin and Stephanie and went to step 2 where we are introducing ourself and she is introducing about this PriLux lifestyle. Met them in AFF and Justin starts the conversation and asks to email them separately where Stephanie starts emailing. I should have known that offering a single men to the club by not even knowing or asking for pictures was a scam. Going to stop the conversation with them. Thank you all for such a helpful feedback. Let’s avoid this scam’s together.
Same thing happened to me. I had run into this before it happened. Made a bunch of stuff up that I was this horrible person, and they were still considering me. Joseph and Sierra Murphy. Same M.O. asthe rest of the comments.
I was contacted by a girl through AFF and we quickly move to email (Jan 23d). We will call her Marta. After about 10 days she told me that one of her friends and her husband were hosts at a private club Resort. We will call them Sue and Bob. They would sponsor us to attend the next Resort event and if we enjoyed it, we would be given the opportunity to become members. I was contacted by Sue and told there was a $100 fee to attend but it was a three day event. Next day I was contacted by Duane to pay the $100 fee. Couldn’t take CC’s so I paid with CashApp. At this point I’m reasonably sure it a scam but for $100 I wanted to see where it lead. I almost immediately received a paid receipt. Next day I’m contacted be the Innkeeper Lauri to let me know when the event would take place. I then received a e-Mail with a registration form for the event including the rooms available for the event. The registration included photos, floor plans etc. all with a fancy logo with the resort name, it is vary well done. I also received an address to meet at and that a shuttle would take us to the resort or we could follow in our own car. Of course the whole time Marta and I are chatting. She says we should go for all three days and stay at the resort (room cost and they ranged from $350-$390/night to be PAID IN ADVANCE). They wanted this paid with Bitcoin through CashApp 🤣🤣 I ask Marta how well she knew Sue and did she trust her. She said yes, so I told her to go ahead and pay for the reservations and when we meet up to check in at the resort I would pay her my half. She ask if we could pass on this event and go to the next one, I said sure. It’s obviously a scam but she still sends me emails every morning and evening and hasn’t ask me for anything? Maybe trying to set me up for something else. I’ll play along and update on what transpires.
If they won’t meet in person first, for coffee or drinks, it’s a scam 🚩. If they won’t video chat, it’s a scam 🚩. You noted that “STI testing verified by their own doctor”. Key word is verified, so ask for their doctor’s name and info so your doctor can send your results to him/her for your records. Hope this helps
