Sugar Baby "Riri" Gets Sentenced to Nine Years
Mai Watanabe, 25 years old from Nagoya, was arrested last August for selling dating scam manuals to her social media followers, in order to find and scam "sugar daddies" through paid dating. Watanabe, who goes by the name Itadakijoshi Riri-chan (Riri the Sugar Baby) sold her manuals for 10,000 to 20,000 yen each (see photo below). Private lessons were available for an additional fee. She was able to sell about 2,000 manuals before being arrested.
The manuals went into detail about the way to approach vulnerable middle-aged men and how to get the most money out of them. The guidebooks taught the purchasers to tell the sugar daddies that they had an unhappy childhood, to gain sympathy and open their wallets. Other tactics included lying about ill health and being unable to work and that they desperately needed help to pay rent and other necessities.
Riri was caught after a 20-year old who swindled almost 11,000,000 yen from two men in Aichi Prefecture using techniques from Riri's scam books, was arrested. The 20 year old ratted Riri out.
Are you wondering how good the manual's writer was at swindling sugar daddies herself? The Mainichi newspaper reported that she swindled 27 million yen from a 50 year old man after telling him she was going to have to sell her body at a brothel. Another 54 year old man claimed to have transferred a total of 117 million yen to her. Sounds like she is the papa katsu (paid dating) master.
But, was it worth it for her? I think not. She was sentenced to nine years in prison over her scams, after all.

I guess she DID have an unhappy childhood, why else would she start such a scam?
I wish every child could have a good start in life so they don't derail later on.
Riri will have 9 years to think about what she has done.
Sad she felt that was a good way to live her life.
She spent most of the money she earned through fraud by attending host clubs. She says that the only place she could stay was at a host club where the more she paid, the more kind she was.
In my personal opinion, she is too immatnre even as an adult. Still, she is still young, so I hope she will reflect on she crimes, atone for she crimes,and be rehabilitated.
Such a sad way to do business, I am so sad for the men that lost so much money, shame on her, nine years is not long enough when so many men have lost so much money.

Wow, that's crazy! Part of me feels sorry for these men, but I also wonder how so many could fall for her, it seems so obvious. If she only got arrest over selling the manuals and not the scamming she did herself, does she get to keep the money? She might be one rich lady once she gets out of prison!
