Encrypted, Self-Destructing Email - TEMP.PM

[+ Keith30309]

I just had a frustrating encounter with a new gentleman on RM. He messaged me a “Hi, I noticed you looked at my profile....” message. His profile is very brief and vanilla torso pics only.

 

I asked a couple of basic questions and, in response, received a link to a TEMP.PM address.

Being the suspicious type I tunneled to Hong Kong and opened it in private mode. The message was a fairly generic “my rate is $x for the first hour and I won’t do any kind of xxxx”. I flipped back to his RM profile and tried to figure out was I was missing and when I returned to TEMP.PM the message had self-destructed. I wasn’t able to see it.

 

I understand some guys desire for private, secure communications but this seems like massive overkill to me. I’m cool with Protonmail and think it meets reasonable requirements but the self destructing messages accessible only by navigating to a unique URL sets off malware alarm bells in my head, not to mention being impractical.

 

Have others encountered this?
