I've come across quite a few bargain basement deals on the chat lines both here and in Edmonton. Still actually see a few of them now and then. They're usually "amateurs" who're looking for a bit of extra spending cash or to help make ends meet, and it's kind of a thrill knowing that they don't do this fairly often with too many other guys.
Chances are hit and miss though, but I haven't typically run into too many scams. Did run into one in Edmonton though that seemed a bit suspicious to me, so when I asked her to disrobe first, my fears were right - he/she still had a dick. Must have caught he/she in the middle of the transformation. It wasn't ,my cup of tea, so I just shook my head, got up and walked away without even trying to get any money back.
