January 06, 2025EP 2502 - I Don't Care Who My Clients Are
In this episode of the How to Cheat Podcast, Teresa Conway talks about why confidentiality and security are at the core of her approach when working with clients.
Episode Highlights:
Why Teresa avoids personal details about her clients:
Confidentiality builds trust and protects clients’ privacy.
Knowing “just enough” helps create effective profiles without risking exposure.
Example: A long-term client revealed his real name only after years of working together—proving how irrelevant personal details are to the process.
The importance of separating your real identity from your online “cheating persona.”
Avoid using exact details like profession, height, or age, which can make you easily identifiable.
Real-world risk: Suspicious spouses or private investigators may search dating apps to confirm suspicions.
Security hygiene practices for protecting your identity:
Create a throwaway email and phone number.
Share minimal details early on when chatting with potential matches.
Gradually build trust before revealing more about yourself.
The universality of cheating:
Infidelity transcends politics, professions, and cultures—it’s part of human behavior.
Famous cheaters like King Charles and Donald Trump serve as examples of its pervasiveness.
The dangers of oversharing:
A cautionary tale of a client who shared his real phone number, leading to a scam and blackmail attempt.
Key Takeaways:
Protect your identity: Start with strong boundaries and limit the information you share online.
Confidentiality matters: Teresa’s approach prioritizes anonymity, so her clients can feel secure.
Build trust slowly: Whether it’s with an affair partner or anyone else, don’t rush into revealing details.
Quotable Moment:
"My approach works irrespective of who the client is. I don’t need to know who you are to help you have a successful affair safely."
