So anyone that wants payment upfront is a scam right?

Really gutted that I arranged to meet someone then all of a sudden its "partial payment" to book her time. Seems like a one way ticket to get screwed over right? So gutted. Also only about 1 in 20 on this site even get back to my texts and one of them is trying to rip me off. Is that nornal? ?

So far my experience has been similar, not so much demand/ insisting payment up front (something personally I would never do), but responding to texts or emails, which is why I think some are fake, I am sure there are plenty of genuine ladies on here but yes very frustrating!

I asked her to prove she is real by sending a selfie of her holding up 4 fingers to the camera. Super easy to do it your real, very hard if your a dude that grabbed a few pic of a cute girl and set your self up in the scamming business. Never heard back.

Lucky escape and I have done the same thing and did get the response I was expecting, well I am sure you will find someone suitable and genuine!

I would say so

you must be crazy to pay any sort of deposit, I wouldn't

no brainer- deposit = scam

Billy big balls, I notice you posted a review on Maya, how did you make the booking, her phone is constantly switched off!

only a idiot would pay up front.

To make an up front payment is not a big deal as long as you like what you see and and if you are ask to pay up front is just to know that you ready for it not just texting and be asking some fool questions so I don't think paying up front is bad too as long you understand each other

the understanding being what ?

" the understanding being what ?"

You pay up front then she ghosts you.

Nothing like ghost after paying upfront

Perhaps it's different in cities but I work rurally and I require a £10 deposit before driving to a meet over 30 mins away with any new client. I would never ask for full payment although I have had guys offer that when booking.

All I can say is do your research guys, it’s easy to find out if a lady is genuine ... established online presence, personal website etc! Why would an established professional rip you off it would ruin her career. I ask for a deposit with all new clients now as there are so many guys out there who’s hobbies are ‘let’s waste escorts time’! You would be amazed how many no shows we have. Personally (and this applies to most ladies) I have to travel an hour to get to my city apartment by train, so an hours booking for me in reality is actually closer to four hours. If I take a 2 hour Nuru appointment then I have to factor in set up and clean up time which is an additional 90 minutes, so that’s my day gone for just someone to amuse themselves by booking me for a joke! I’ve gone from having a full page in my diary and turning down genuine regular clients to loosing money (transport, time, getting ready, paying a career for my aunt, heating my apartment) & not seeing anyone that day because they have all been time wasters. The ladies I know who provide OutCalls always ask for a deposit of £50 along with proof of address and ID, for obvious reasons. As for sending you a selfie ... any lady who is worth her salt in the game knows that discretion is (or at least should be) highly valued in this game I would never send out any pictures let alone show my face in a selfie (or anywhere else for that matter) just because some random stranger has asked me to prove myself genuine, because he is to idol to put the research in on the lady he has selected to spend time with. These tend to be the guys who will then spend time slagging you out on forums as something he wasn’t expecting or the service was not what was expected when all he has done is looked at a picture, found the number and made the booking without doing any research on the lady and then put all the blame on her.

We are normal people with normal lives if she doesn’t answer you it may be that she is on the school run, with an elderly relative or simply having a soak in the bath on her day off, or even God forbid sleeping! Yes, there are fake profiles out there but please remember we don’t work 24/7 and if you’re sending a text or email that is rude or blunt that shows absolutely no respect or manners it will most likely be ignored and the guy that’s taken the tune to use whole sentences, with time, dates and durations along with good manners in his initial message will always be given precedence over the guy that sends ‘Available’ ‘Working’ or ‘I wanna fuk u’

We deal with time wasters, text pests, dirty callers, ignorance, rudeness and idiocy all day every day ... so hopefully you now understand why ladies have started asking for deposits or don’t always reply to messages.

?

would you buy a car that you never seen in person ?

I agree with mrs jasmine jones
When you get countless guys booking you only to not show up then i dont blame the eacort for wanting a deposit

I dont reply to those numbskulls that ask stupid things like how about 1 hour for 40 quid or will you meet in the public toilets..etc

Deposits I've never found a need to as I screen carefully.

Personally, I take deposits because the AMOUNT of times that I’ve spent hours getting ready, then they don’t show. Waste of time, make up etc.

Also, I take deposits so that if they do anything sketchy, block me, stand me up, I’m getting paid for that.

If you’re sending videos, I ask for upfront because I could send the video then they block me.

I am more than happy to be verified, send any random photo you want me to. Write down anything and send a picture with me and the writing.

It’s not scamming at all, it’s making sure WE STILL GET PAID EVEN IF THEY TRY TO SCREW US OVER!

my opinion is- a fool and his money are easily parted !

deposit = scam
