[What is Chahan Scam? Explanation of the actual situation and characteristics of damage]

Chahan scams are one of the most notorious scams that have been increasing in recent years, and are characterized by their method of deceiving victims by pretending to be meeting someone for a sugar daddy. Users of sugar daddy apps should be especially careful. In this article, we will explain in detail the definition and method of chahan scams, the actual damage they cause, and the characteristics of the scammers.

The reality and characteristics of Chahan fraud

Definition and techniques of Chahan fraud

The first date where a man and woman meet face to face in a sugar dating relationship is called a face-to-face meeting.
We will check your compatibility with each other and refine your relationship conditions and hopes.
Depending on the wishes of both parties, on the second and subsequent dates, men and women may go out to eat or shopping, or even develop a physical relationship.
Men give women an allowance as a thank you for the date (e.g. 5,000 yen for a meeting, 10,000 yen for a dinner date).

There are women who, in order to receive this allowance, repeatedly go on meet-and-greet dates even though they have no intention of dating. This nuisance behavior is called chahan fraud.
Additionally, the practice of repeatedly going on dinner dates while hinting at a physical relationship (with no intention of actually dating) is also called chahan fraud.

The tea and rice scam is a method of deceiving victims under the pretense of meeting in the form of "drinking tea (cha) and eating rice (meshi)."
Usually, the woman approaches the man and asks to socialize, such as having a meal or tea together.
At this point, they will adopt a friendly demeanor to gain the victim's trust and put them at ease.
They then demand some form of money from the victim.
Or they may commit fraud by asking for payment on the spot.

Or perhaps, while showing a glimpse of the possibility of an intimate relationship beyond tea or a meal,
Without developing into a relationship,
While raising the man's expectations moderately, she said, "Maybe this will develop into a relationship."
It can also refer to a state of control achieved by skillfully using emotions such as "maybe I can do it next time."

Actual state of damage

The damage caused by fraud can include not only mental damage but also financial loss.
Victims are often asked to pay a large sum of money, after which the scammers disappear.
Scammers may also collect personal information about their victims and use it to cause further harm.

The word fraud is used,
From genuine fraud cases where cash and other valuables are actually stolen,
"That's not what you said" or "That's not what you promised"
It is sometimes called deception to describe a mild emotional state.

Also, men who engage in sugar dating are often socially successful and their time is highly valued.
If you encounter a Chahan scam, you could end up wasting a lot of time messaging and dating.

Characteristics of scammers

Female con artists who commit tea rice scams are skilled at deceiving their victims using a variety of methods.
They often appear sociable and sincere, which allows them to win the trust of their victims.

An example
- Actively send messages to women
・They invite you to meet up right away without messaging you back and forth.
- Messages that use hearts a lot or seem to show interest in men from the start
・They will tell you low amounts they would like to spend on adult-related expenses, such as 1 yen for a meeting (meal) and 3 yen for adults.
→ If you negotiate by lowering the allowance for the meeting and raising the allowance for adult dating, such as "How about 4 yen for an adult, just to cover transportation costs for the meeting?", if it is a scam the other party will stop contacting you.

They may also use various excuses and lies to deceive their victims.
Scammers may also manipulate their victims and exploit their psychological weaknesses.

An example
・We hit it off when we met, but just before we made plans to go on an adult date, he contacted me and suggested we go out for dinner because he felt unwell right before.
・When I suggest changing the date, he contacts me and asks for a dinner date, saying that he won't recover in the mid-to-long term.
・She sends excuse messages even when the man doesn't ask a question

Fraud means that promises are not fulfilled,
Using clever words and expressions that are not lies, body contact, arm-holding, hand-holding, kissing, hugging,
Although I didn't promise anything, I cleverly let you imagine what would happen.
This often takes the form of encouraging action, such as support, follow-up, allowances, or pocket money.

If you sense something is wrong, it's important to take action as soon as possible.

An example
・The reason for the sugar daddy activity is weak, and it is not clear why they need money.

→ If you are not looking to make money through adult dating or regular dating, but just meeting people, you are likely to be thinking about earning a small amount of money in your spare time. Tomorrow, after work, I'll meet you for 30 minutes and earn 5,000 yen.

・She said that she is reluctant to date older men or sugar daddies, and wants to build a relationship of trust before considering an adult relationship.

→ She is reluctant to go on dates with her sugar daddy. She often wants to keep it to just dinner dates as much as possible.

・The conversation doesn't flow
→ They often don't read the men's profiles. Since they don't actually date, the women's profiles are often full of lies, and their behavior is often inconsistent and easily exposed.

・Don't talk about sugar dating when meeting or messaging (I'm not thinking about going on a second date or beyond)
・They try to finish the meeting as quickly as possible (10 to 30 minutes). They drink their drinks quickly.
→ They want to break up as soon as possible because their purpose is to allow for a meeting, not to confirm compatibility in person. They may have multiple meetings in one day.

・ Reports of chahan fraud on sugar daddy message boards

There are some malicious women out there who repeatedly commit fraud on multiple apps, quitting and then rejoining them.
Even if there are no reports within the app, there may be reports of fraud on message boards, so it is also effective to search for the app and the woman's name.

Summary

Chahan fraud is a malicious method of deceiving victims under the pretext of meeting people. Victims are easily fooled by their sociable demeanor and sincere behavior, and can suffer significant financial losses. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when meeting or going on a date, and to be wary of suspicious people or situations.

To be honest, if it doesn't fall under the category of genuine fraud, it's hard to say for certain who is at fault.

Therefore, for example, even if the atmosphere is good, if you can't go on a date no matter how many times you go on a date, you may have a borderline situation where you can go out with them up to this point, but not after that, depending on the number of dates or the amount of money. I think it's effective to keep it to yourself.

Or, if you think this girl is someone you don't mind being fooled by, it would be a good idea to go around the area and get completely absorbed in it.

There may even be cases where thinking four or five things is unhealthy.

However, it's smarter to make a quick decision and move on to your next encounter, rather than regret it later.

The difficult thing is that when you meet someone, telling them directly, ``It's not a scam, right?'' can only be negative.

Even if you say something like that, the other person will also be in trouble.

If she was an honest woman and not a fraud, I would have been upset and left.

In this case, it is the men who lose out.

Men, just like women, have no choice but to make judgments based on the atmosphere, flow, and feelings that cannot be expressed in words.

The only way to improve your decision-making ability is to increase your experience.

In the end, it seems like it's something that can be learned through encounters with many people.

Also, I have talked about cases where no progress is made no matter how many times you go on a date, from the angle of recognizing it as a scam, but there are times when a relationship does not develop due to something in yourself.

In addition to appearance, there are also things like smell, cleanliness, belongings, fashion, language, attitude, physique, etc.

This is a great opportunity, so take advantage of this opportunity to focus on things you can reevaluate and improve, not only for the sake of the woman in front of you, but also for yourself and the many women you will meet in the future. Looks good too.
