Escorts asking for deposits

[rosedelacourt]

........How does a $50 deposit make you feel safe, sorry for being maybe dense but $5O in today’s world is nothing and there are just as many crazy people with money as without.

I'm sorry, by safety I meant ''knowing the client is serious''. Sometimes just adding the ''extra step'' filters TW pretty well. Again in a city such as Winnipeg for example, it has meant (for me anyway) no more no-shows when on my first few visits, around 25-50% wouldn't show up.

Didn't really pay much attention to this thread until, you guessed it, I was asked for a deposit from an Indy that advertises here and shall remain nameless. I'm not a fan of electronic payments of any kind, let alone for a deposit to bang an SP. Sure, its convenient, saves time, prevents their time from being wasted, but I had to pass on this one. I just don't feel comfortable sending an SP money from my bank account or credit card to her account so I can bang her. You can tell me how safe it is and how everything is confidential or everybody is doing it but I just don't buy it. My MERB handle and references should be more than enough to get an appointment. I would even personally hand over a deposit if for some reason, I just didn't show up. I'm guessing this SP has gotten a lot of cancellations so I can sort of understand the reason for the deposit. But if your getting lots of cancellations or fake calls maybe there is something else going on here. I guess this is the way of the future, just not my way of the future. Cash is king, fuck paying deposits electronically!

You been surprised on how many time wasters there is. I mean personally in 10 years i maybe had to cancel like 2 or 3 times, and those were 24h prior, and i hated doing that. Once i had to reschedule an appointement and jasmine/Melody was super nice to accomodate me, that one is probably the closest to a late cancellation i had to do. In short story i was going to Montreal with a friend for a show and he was pissed off i would leave him alone for 1h/1h30 to meet someone. He told me the morning he wouldn't come if i would do it. So i had to change my plans as i didn't want to go alone at the show. Ended up staying one more day in MTL and seeing the person i was supose to see on that day while his sister (wich was our ride to come back) picked him alone. It was not a logistical fun but the meeting was worth the trouble ultimately.

But anyway what i was saying is when i book, i always intend to meet, and only reason why i would need to cancel would be an extreme one. I do inquire by mail or text at times for services, rates etc (if not listed) but i don't consider that "time wasting" , i mean i need those infos to book. Sometimes i follow up, some other times not.

But there seem to be a lot of guys who straight up don't care. They will book and cancel or ghost without warning. For them its a "game" i supose and if they ain't feeling it for whatever reason, they just cancel. This is a huge lack of respect. It does happen.

So yes i can UNDERSTAND that some providers are frisky to schedule without deposit, but i feel if you provide your merb/perb/terb handle and you have a history of reliance and everything, it should be enough. And by the way, always confirm by PM the person is who they say they are. Some peoples could say they are me and schedule and then cancel, i wouldn't want that on my rep lol.

We are lucky in Montreal that deposits and deep screening is not required most of the time. So i guess if we get asked about an electronic deposit we can refuse and see someone else.

I agree.

I guess what I was trying to say without actually saying it was that the person asking me for the electronic deposit has changed her name several times, changes her prices regularly, and has had many negative reviews. So it’s a sketchy person getting some of her own medicine. IMHO

That’s what I meant by there may be something else going on.

 

[Halloween Mike]

If its who i think it is, i wouldn't do a deposit either with her. Actually again speculating we have the same person in mind, i wanted to meet her for a while, but the negative reviews, the lack of outcall, the higher price (compare to agency price) made me decide to not do it.

Why would you want to see her if all of what you describe is true?

I’m not going to see her.

I don't think a deposit to an SP from Indy companions is quite the same as some girl advertising on 123, AI etc. I contacted one who asked me to bring some kind of gift card as her "employer" ( I assume pimp " prefers that to cash. I thought about this odd request and it makes sense if the pimp is trying to launder money. Cash has to be cleaned or spent but a gift card, not so much. As for Rose Delacourt, I would gladly send her the whole fee, she has been here for quite a while and has a valued reputation. I understand that SP's do not want to book and have a cancellation which may affect another client so a deposit for a well reviewed SP is not a problem for me

 

[Johnny test]

I usually pay before, couple of days before the date, and, if possible through Interac. I hate having cash and giving envelopes.

Love this! I feel like it's our job as reputable providers to maintain a website, good reviews, Twitter and ads. Once you have that, it's pretty clear that your reputation is worth more than a couple hundreds dollars. I doesn't even begin to cover the outfit I'm wearing for our date

I have made 500$ deposit to someone like you said with Website and Twitter. I have checked everything before making the deposit..! But She said she had problem with her Paypal account then never refund me the deposit...! I won't never do that again …!

I know Paypal shuts down accounts from SW sometimes... otherwise I'm so sorry this happened to you

 

[theyellowman]

honestly, the number of e-transfers I receive and I still couldn't name one guy. We seriously don't care about your real info. It's important for us to feel safe sometimes hence the deposit. Again, I know not everyone's the same but I wouldn't risk my reputation blackmailing someone. What good would that do to my business?

I understand your point but put in my place.! I'm not very confortable if i have to e-transfer to someone i've never seen before...! We never know in our day with all the scam to our privacy life. I'm asking why the Bankk doesn't give the option to change or hide our name when we make a transaction.

I totally totally understand your point of view! That's why I offer the e-gift card option and never ask for the full donation. That way I can easily send back the gift card code to you if anything happens. I'm sorry someone scammed you like that, it really just makes it harder for the rest of us

I think that to reduce the fact of losing money, there is a possibility:
The social meeting where there is no privacy. (but now it's more difficult)

There are SPs that are flexible and others less so, you have to see.

I would never pay before being there.

Meeting a girl who has great magazines on Merb is less risky.

An important rule: the risk increases inversely to the price.

Not necessarily. I wouldn’t trust someone I haven’t met on LL or one of these sights.
There are differences in hourly rates up to $200 with some Merb advertisers and I think they are equally trustworthy.
It just doesn’t make sense for them to ruin their reputation for a couple of hundred bucks.
I understand their reasons, I am not a big fan of deposits simply because if I cancel an appointment within 24 hrs I will pay them the full amount, my word is also worth more than a couple of hundred bucks.

The greatest risk is at the lower price levels. Not only of losing your money but getting stabbed and robbed as on Craigs List and the like. I was once forced to post a post I copied and pasted on another board about a CL listing that resulted in the poster being bait and switched. He refused to pay, was confronted by the pimp, fought back, was stabbed in the suing fight, and posted asking for medical advice on how to suture his wounds as he was afraid to go to a local hospital. I posted this pathetic story and post to refute the type of thinking posted by Sene which just isn't in line with reality.

Usually the risk at the Indy level is you just lose deposit money- mere financial harm that most can take- and many can roll the dice on it, if the reviews are good.

This is exactly what I said "the risk increases inversely to the price".
The lower the price, the higher the risk.

So why do you say “post to refute the type of thinking posted by Sene which just isn't in line with reality.”?

I think we misunderstood each other.

Ha ha! I remember those days of CL and BP in the USA. It was the wild Wild West! I remember running full speed and bursting past the bathroom as the lady knocked on the door for her pimp. It was the classic bait and switch and I wasn’t paying for it. Down the hotel stairs I ran. Rule#1: know the going rate and pay it. Rule #2: stick to reputable agencies and well reviewed Indies. Rule#3: Abstain from this hobby outside of hobby locals unless you have a solid intel. Better to go to bed horny or to rub one out than to enter the fray.

 

[EagerBeaver]

Sene yeah I didn't understand your post so we are all on the same page here.

I had a few scary incidents with Craig's List incalls 2000-2007 or so. Looking back on it I took risks that were foolish and borderline reckless. But I lived to tell about it.
