General

I have met a couple (2) of Feedees who wanted me to pay them before feeding them is this common in the community I am new I would like to know if it's a normal thing.

Proceed with caution. While some feedees do sponsored stuffings, a lot of others are scammers. I don't know anything about your specific situation. However, if your gut says no, I'd trust your gut.

Common not in a good way though lotta scammers using pics of other people etc.

Even the legit ones can be a bit pushy too since they msg me mostly to get money not food.

I personally never have and likely never will give money. But it's up to you. Might wanna vet someone a bit before sending anything.

I typically check the time they have been on the site, use reverse img search, and a few other things. Just to stay safe it's the internet after all.

Nah, because some accounts have been around for years.

The things I've seen can fill up novels.

Do not give internet strangers money. Always vet someone thoroughly before you consider paying for anything.

Yep that's why I have mentioned I never have given anyone money.

The time on site is one of the many things I look at when talking to someone on here.

I've met scammers that have been here for 6 months a year or more as well.

Yeah, some of em are all "you should buy me food/send me money to show some initiative to get to know me", or say some dumb stuff like "I believe in anti-free fat chat."

And although I've never fallen for this, some people have. I've seen situations where someone sent another person money, and they'll still flame the person in chat like "25 dollars?! What do these deadbeat feeders expect me to do with 25 dollars?!" I've seen it happen folks.

In a nutshell, don't give strangers on the internet money. Or, if you do, get to know them really, really well first. If you're trying to chat with someone, and they put a cashapp link in your face and tell you to pay up or get lost, screenshot that shit and send it to the mods.

...also watch out for annoying flying insects...

Adding onto this, please, please, PLEASE report people soliciting you. Too many scammers get away with this because people do not report them. They just block or stop responding.

Do not do this. This just leads to more victims. And the longer the scammers are on the site, the harder they are to get rid of. Instead, report them. Sent screenshots to team@fantasyfeeder.com. They will handle it from there.

*'the more you know' gif plays*

I want to make a few points clear.

1) While some of our members do indeed sponsor takeout food for other members, I want to make abundantly clear this is not expected of any member, nor should anyone feel forced to coerced into this.

Any such interactions are the business of those two users.

However, direct solicitation of money and free stuff is against our rules. This also means users can't demand money just to talk to you.

2) PMs are not monitored. This means the only people who can see your PMs are you, and the other user.

3) Point #2 means that despite our best efforts, some scammers and catfish may slip through.

4) It's not always feasible for us to review all publicly posted content as it comes in, even if we do try.

5) Points 2, 3, and 4 mean we rely on you, the community to report, report, and report! Did I say report? I'm not sure I did, so I'll say it again; Report!

Please, don't just block the scammer, move on, and hope the scammer goes away. This gives the scammer more time to potentially hurt more victims.

In your report, please don't just say something like "asks for money;" be more specific. If you do, it quickly turns into "he said, she said." In an abundance of caution to avoid false positives (bans on someone who shouldn't be) and smear campaigns, it may take reports from multiple people.

If at all you can, please provide some type of evidence. Mention the profile contains a CashApp screen name, or a PayPal address is in a picture or picture caption. Include screenshots. FF has an e-mail address that can be used for this purpose: team fantasyfeeder.com

I also have a Discord screen name, if you would prefer to share that way.

However, please keep in mind any such bad behavior must have taken place on FF itself. I can't, and will not take action based on behavior that took place off of FF. That is under the jurisdiction of that other online service. We do not get involved in the drama and internal affairs on other platforms.
