NVS20: Betrayal of Another Sort
In some ways, many ways even, I’ve lived a fairly boring and drama-less life. I wasn’t even sure I could think of something to write for this theme, but then one incident in my past occurred to me.
But before I offered it up, I consulted with the all knowing internet and it said: “Key Components of Betrayal - 1) Trust Violation: The cornerstone of betrayal is the breach of trust, where someone acts against the expectations of honesty or loyalty.” OK, we don’t even need to go on to reading the other examples. My situation qualifies!
In large part it was my own fault. I was between local play partners and thinking with my small head not the intended one. There was a lady on here that seemed interesting. I was still Gold back then and after a few exchanges she offered to meet me – in her motel room.
You can probably guess how this went, so I won’t belabor the first part of the story. YUP I was barely into the room when she wanted to see my funds. WTF? We’d never discussed that, nor had there been any hints of that! I quickly excused myself, but tossed her a small amount for the misunderstanding and her wasted time. (I didn’t mention MY wasted time!!)
The next day she texted me threatening to expose me. She correctly stated my home address, where I worked, and said she was going to tell the police I attempted to r_pe her if I didn’t give her a significant amount. A former playmate, that happens to be a shrink, had previously advised me that when dealing with crazy people it is best to simply ignore them, so that is what I did. The text message threats continued for several days. That was very unnerving. I took screenshots of the text message threats in case I ever needed them, but eventually she just disappeared.
An initially very foolish decision by me for sure in thinking I was going to get laid that easily, but still I consider her action a betrayal of significant proportions too.

Wow, scary for sure.
P.S. But you are lucky if you're unable to think of a situation where someone close to you betrayed you.
So true.
OMG! That's just awful!!
I survived.
Some friends in town had some nut job get his balls in a bunch when the local hooker wouldn't service him anymore. He had very poor personal hygiene. He spray painted rude words on her house!!!! She was still raising her son. Then he started sending letters to all her friends on the FB place, sometimes at their place of employment. The letter simply stated they were friends of the prostitute. In a Bible thumping town though, not a good thing.
Yes, I was acquainted with the local hooker. A big group if us got together once a month to play Bunco. She wasn't a personal friend, so no letter for me. But it freaked out several women in our group.
The woman you met was dishonest. I am so glad she went away. You were very brave handling her.
Hugs!!
I can only imagine how the rumor-mill works in a small town!
Yeah, I got through it, and the only victim was many nights of sleep.
You can never be to careful when dealing with certain people. I am so sorry this happened to you and it made you much more aware of some of the people here on the site.
I hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend. ?
All kinds here for sure.
Thanks, hope you have a nice weekend as well.
Oh dear! That definitely qualifies as betrayal.
Yeah, I think most of our minds go to a romantic betrayal first, but this is one of another kind.
You situation was scary. I'm glad she disappeared after ignoring her.
Me too!
Oh, boy, I know exactly how you feel. A lot of bros, get caught up in these types of scams. Ya, your friend is right, ignoring is the best course of action. I applaud you for taking screenshots, in the highly unlikely scenario it gets to court those will save your ass. Remember, what they are doing to you is a felony, and 99% of the time it's a bluff. Even if you sent her money she would still dox you. This is really overkill, but you could always make a couple phone calls to internal security or DC. It makes it so much easier to get #'s and etc. Ya, VOIP numbers are just as good as "real" numbers, for passing along information. They already know about them, they will just be watching them more closely.
It was a stressful time for sure!
