Pregnancy scam after sugar date

A reddit report about a romance scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Last February, I meet up with a lady from seeking (the sugar dating site). We had sex exactly once before deciding to go our separate ways. Used a condom but it slipped. I gave her money for a Plan B and she told me she took it. About a month later, she told me she’s pregnant. She sent me a picture of a positive pregnancy test, and took another pregnancy test over video chat (though she moved in and out of frame so there’s definitely the possibility that she used a prank test or a pregnant friend’s pee or did something else to make the test return positive). We agreed on abortion and she claimed she didn’t want to keep it. I offered to pay for the abortion as long as I could pay the doctor or clinic directly. She became evasive and was only ok with cash directly to her, also she claimed the amount of money she needed was significantly more than the actual cost. I kept politely insisting I only pay a clinic and tried to give her as many reasonable options for that as I could (e.g. I could pay them then I’ll leave before she meets with the doctor, I pay earlier in the day so it’s all set for when she gets there, I give her a money order to give to them, we could find an independent clinic where I can pay online, and a couple other options that I don’t remember). She kept asking for the money directly to her because she said she was “embarrassed” that she “got pregnant by some random guy”. At one point she basically threatened to keep the baby if I didn’t just hand her cash directly for the abortion. Once she realized she wasn’t getting money out of me she suddenly claimed she found someone who could give her the medication for a medical abortion for free, then switched to asking for money from me as “compensation for her pain and suffering”. This “doctor” also allegedly only gave her mifepristone and didn’t give her misoprostol. She claimed she was able to get misoprostol from her a couple days later and took it. She also bought a Tesla the same day she allegedly took the mifepristone (???). A week and a half after allegedly taking the misoprostol, she told me she tested negative for pregnancy. She said that a couple days later she claimed she went to a doctor and said they “tested everything” and that she wasn’t pregnant. About a month later (mid May) she claimed she got an IUD in and wanted to keep hooking up for cash. I declined. That was the last time I heard from her. She kept posting on seeking with zero indication of pregnancy in her profile (she periodically posted new photos where she clearly wasn’t pregnant, and made no mention of pregnancy in her bio). She stayed active on seeking for several months, and she was active as recently as mid December. I found her active on a different sugar site about a month ago and she’s been pretty active since then. During that time I made a fake seeking account and tried to build some rapport with her to see if I could get some closure for good. My fake account got to know her a bit.
