If we were honest imagines James as a street interviewer asking questions to random strangers.
What kind of answers would they give if they were 100% honest ?
This is a new ‘ Live ‘ free to read series I’m adding to the blog.
There isn’t a beginning and there is no ending.
The interview comprises of everyday questions posted to everyday people and this post will be constantly updated when new things come to mind.
Some questions are sexual in nature, while some are just outright ridiculous and meant for comedic relief.
Any resemblance to real people or scenario is purely coincidental.
This is meant to be a work of fiction.
Kane . 29 . Full time scammer
James : Thank you for speaking with me Kane….. i understand you are a scammer….. may i know which scam do you specialise in… ?
Kane : everything… from selling fake tickets, to sex for credits, or selling nude photos of girls i got off the internet….
James : i see…. let’s start with the nude photos… how do you do it… ?
Kane : There are plenty of leaked photos and videos floating around these days… it’s not difficult to find entire collections of them online….. i create an account in some obscure site…. usually free classifieds…. and i pretend to be the girl in question….
James : I see…..
Kane : Just put a female profile… and the fishes will start coming in…horny men eager to chat, eager to make me a proposal…
James: What happens next ?
Kane : I would pretend to be in financial trouble…and i may agree to meet up with them but not before we establish a bit of trust….in this case…. money…. in exchange for my pictures….
James : I see…. and they pay you willingly…
Kane : That is right… i just need to slowly send them more and more photos, usually in order of how revealing it is…
James : How much does it cost… ?
Kane : I’m a old hand at this, i know how much people are willing to part. The figure would be $50….
James :Why $50…
Kane : $50 is nothing for a working adult… and it’s not an amount you would go to the cops for…. especially not for buying nude photos off the internet….
James: That’s a great idea… how do they pay you… ?
Kane : to my bank account…
James: Aren’t you afraid they will report your account… ? i mean, after they transferred the money…. you refused to meet them or they realised the pictures are not real….
Kane : It’s not my account…. there are lots of students and gullible people that needs money…. i use their account….in exchange, i pay them a small fee…. it doesn’t link back to me….
James : oh… i see…
Kane: Anyway, by the time the horny men realised they are scammed, they would be too embarrassed to tell anyone….. if not… i will not be here talking to you…
James : True… true…. what about sex for credit scams… ? do you partake in that…
Kane : yes i do, but it’s getting slow recently…. more are aware of the scam… sometimes i get trolled but it’s my way of making a living… you can’t blame me…
James : Can you tell us how it works… ?
Kane : Sure… i first download a chat program and i create a profile, using the photo of a really young and hot babe….. something like this… and i name her as ‘ Kay ‘
Kane : With a profile like that, it will not be hard to get messages from people who are close to you and when they use the ‘ find nearby’ function….
James : what happens after they chat you up… ?
Kane : I would paint a story about me being a student… from either Taiwan or China….. then let the chat progress from there… it will not take long for them to offer me money for sex….. i usually drop a hint or 2….say that financials are tight…. and everything in Singapore is expensive…. stuff like that… hahaha.
James : And the men would then offer to help…
Kane : yeap… if they are too shy, i would make the proposal instead… $350 to have sex…. $200 for a blowjob etc….people are more willing to talk and negotiate over the app…. the anonymity of the program makes it easier to broach subject like these too….
James : so what happens after a price is decided. ?
Kane : I would direct him to meet me at a place where there is a convenient store of an AXS payment machine…. there, i would tell him i need to make sure he is serious about the deal…. because i’m risking a lot and i don;t do this all the time…. i could lose my student visa and shit… hahaha
James : And what happens next… ?
Kane : I would ask for a guarantee…. get $50 or a $100 worth of credits… from either Alipay, Google pay or Apple pay…. thereafter, they will take a photo of it and show me….
James : And you disappear… ?
Kane : Depends on how gullible they are… sometimes i can squeeze $100-$200 off them before they realised they are being screwed….
James : And they don;t report to the police… ?
Kane : Trying to pay an overseas student for sex… ?? report to the police.. ? you got to be shitting me James… hahaha…. most of them don’t report a lost of $50 or $100… it’s nothing to them….take it as a lesson learnt…. hahaha
James : Don’t you feel guilty… ? scamming people of their money… ?
Kane : This is what i do…. and i do it on a small scale… enough to make a living…. there are syndicates out there doing it on a massive scale… mostly overseas….
James : This is horrible… how many victims have you had over the years and how much have you made… ?
Kane : I’ve been doing this for 3-4 years…. it’s getting harder with more outreach program to educate everyone…. but there are still people falling for it…. i would say…i raked in 200-300k these few years…. not too bad….
James : That is disgusting…. i hope you are not proud of yourself….
Kane : I’m not… there is nothing to be proud off…. i need money… my victims have them….
James : why do you think more men keep falling for scams like yours…?
Kane : I honestly think it’s the lack of clear and available information regarding cost…. as in how much it cost… to have legal paid sex….in Singapore…
James : How so… ?
Kane : There are some forums that contain these information but their access are blocked… with no clear avenue for men in search of paid sex to reference their price point…. it’s easy for them to fall for scams…..
James : Can you elaborate on this… ?
Kane : for example… you want to buy a particular samsung phone… you go on the net and you can find various price points from different vendors. you know it cost between 4-500 for that phone depending who you get it from…….
James : ok…..
Kane : will you then believe you can get one for $100 ?
James : I get where you are coming from for this…. can you give us an indication…. of how much does paid sex cost in Singapore… ?
Kane : sure…. as per the list below.
Legal whorehouse in Geylang – $80-$200
Illegal HDB brothels – $100 – $160
Local Singaporean freelancers, undergraduates , students, etc – $350 to $2000
James : wow….. and this price is for….. 1 time ?
Kane : Yes…. 1 time, within 45 minutes to 1 hour….the moment you cum, it’s done…. ..period…. there is no such thing as a unlimited fuck for $200 or $300…. the rates i usually quote for my scams….
James : i see …… thank you for sharing……Do you plan on continuing this ?
Kane : I don’t know…. i might stop soon… it’s getting harder to land a victim and there’s a lot of stiff competition from overseas….
James : i hope you stop this Kane…. this is not cool….is there anything you would like to say to everyone…. future victims perhaps…. ?
Kane : And ruin my own ricebowl… ? hahaha….hmmm ok… let me see…
James : give it your best shot…
Kane : ok.. here goes…. look guys….the next time when you are chatting up a random stranger with the intention of getting paid sex….. look at the photo of the girl… and look at yourself in the mirror….and if you really think a girl looking like this is willing to have sex with you for that little money…. you either look like a fucking hot korean superstar….. or you are getting scammed….in any case if you do look like the former…… i bet there’s no need to pay for sex….. so.. yeah… hahah
James: Thank you for being honest Kane…
Kane : Thank you James… for asking the questions no one ever asked….
This is a work of fiction but the scam is real.
