Sugar Daddy Belgium regards security as one of the foundations of our community. On this page, you will find a comprehensive guide to safety tips for online dating - so you can have enjoyable experiences and prevent fraud or unwanted behaviour.
🛡️ Your safety is our priority
This guide is designed to help you safely navigate the world of sugar dating. Take the time to read through these tips - they can protect you from common risks and scams.
General safety tips
Verify identity
Make sure the person you are communicating with is really who they claim to be. You can do this by:
- A video call conduct before agreeing
- A recent photo ask (with specific request such as “take a picture with today's paper”)
- Social media profiles to view for consistency
- Use reverse image search to detect stolen photos
Never send money in advance
A true Sugar Daddy never asks for money from a Sugar Baby, and vice versa. Sugar relationships are based on clear agreements, not unilateral financial requests.
- No share bank details
- No buy gift vouchers on request
- No shopping online for someone
- No doing crypto or other transfers
Stay on the platform
Keep conversations on the platform until you have established a reasonable level of trust. Scammers often try to move quickly to external channels:
- WhatsApp, Telegram or other messaging apps
- Personal email
- Phone calls outside the platform
On the platform, we have moderation and you can report abuse.
Be suspicious of dramatic stories
If someone keeps having emergencies, dramas or urgent problems that require your help, you may be the target of emotional scams.
- “My mother is sick and I need money for the doctor”
- “I'm stuck abroad”
- “My car broke down and I can't come to you”
- New “crises” asking for money all the time
Make clear agreements in advance
Financial, emotional and practical expectations should be clear before you meet. Don't be afraid to:
- Making your terms clear
- Ask direct questions about expectations
- Set boundaries that are non-negotiable
- Dropping out when something doesn't feel right
Be careful with long-distance relationships
Be extra vigilant with people who live in other countries or always have excuses not to meet up:
- Refusing video or telephone calls
- Always postponing a meeting
- Vague stories about location or work
- Quick to talk about “serious relationship” without having seen each other
Safety on the first date
Choose a public location
Always meet at a public, busy place - a café, restaurant or shopping centre in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent or your area. Avoid appointments at someone's home or in a hotel for the first meeting.
Inform a confidant
Tell a friend or relative Where you are going, with whom, and what time you expect to be back. If necessary, share your live location via your smartphone.
Arrange your own transport
Don't get picked up on the first date. Use your own car, bicycle or public transport so you can always go home yourself if the date does not go well.
Limit alcohol and other substances
On the first date, keep your alcohol consumption limited so you can think clearly at all times. Do not accept drinks or other substances that you are not sure what is in them.
Schedule a time limit
Agree in advance how long the date will last. This will give you a natural exit if the date does not go well, without having to explain yourself.
Trust your feelings
If something not feeling well, then trust your instincts. You don't need to give a reason to leave. Your safety takes precedence over politeness.

⚠️ Beware of fake Sugar Daddy's
There are people who pretend to be rich Sugar Daddy's but are only interested in scams. They may ask for intimate photos, personal information, or even money under the guise of “repayment later”. Do not blindly trust anyone you have not met in person.
💳 Never share bank details
Never make bank transfers, buy gift cards, or share financial details - no matter what story the person on the other end tells. These are classic scam techniques.
🏠 Protect your personal data
Do not share information about your home address, workplace, university or other identifying details until you know and trust someone personally. Your private life should remain protected in online relationships.
📸 Be careful with intimate content
Never send intimate photos or videos to someone you do not know personally and trust completely. This material can be used for blackmail or revenge porn.

⚠️ Recognise fake profiles
If a profile seems too perfect or the photos are very professional, investigate further before getting emotionally or financially involved. Use reverse image search to check that photos have not been stolen from elsewhere.
💸 No money before meeting
Do not send money online or buy gifts before meeting someone in person. All financial arrangements in sugar relationships are best settled in person, after mutual acquaintance.
🔒 Limit personal information
Do not share details about your income, property, bank accounts or family at the beginning of a relationship. Scammers can use this information for blackmail or identity theft.
🚨 Urgent money requests = red flag
If someone asks for money before a meeting or for “emergencies” such as hospital bills or stranded trips, this is probably a scam. Real sugar relationships are based on clear agreements, not sudden financial requests.
📸 Protect yourself from blackmail
Never share compromising material with someone you do not personally know and fully trust. Do not provide information about your family situation, employer or place of residence until you have established a solid basis of trust.
How do you recognise scams?
🚩 Red flags - heed these warning signs
Unnatural communication
Scammers often communicate impersonally or inconsistently. Look out for dodgy replies, automated messages, refusal to meet in person, or vague answers to direct questions.
Excessive promises
Distrust promises of large sums of money, luxury gifts or a luxurious life without first building a real relationship. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Suspicious photos
Use tools such as Google Reverse Image Search to check whether photos are real or stolen from other profiles on the internet. Professional model photos are a warning sign.
Inconsistent story
If someone's personal story changes or contains contradictory anecdotes, you may be dealing with a scammer. Pay attention to details from the beginning of the conversation.
Rapid escalation
Scammers often try to quickly create an emotional connection or talk about “love” and “future” after just a few messages. Real relationships take time to grow.
Pressure to act quickly
Urgency is a classic scam technique. “I need the money TODAY” or “This offer expires tomorrow” are red flags. Always take time to think.
Reporting suspicious behaviour
If you think you are a victim of scams or have discovered a suspicious profile, it is important to report it immediately.
Through the platform
Use the Report button on the person's profile. This is the quickest way to alert our moderation team.
By email
Send detailed notification to meldingen@sugardaddybelgium.eu with screenshots and relevant information.
At the police
In case of actual fraud or threat: report to the local police or via police.be.
We take every report seriously. Our team investigates suspicious profiles and takes action to protect our community.
