Sex Worker v Scammer - Charging Deposits

[Celeste_SJ]

Hi,

Amanda O wrote a great blog about scammers in the sex industry and a recent post on here was full of warnings for a ts member thinking about paying a deposit to see a super hot sex worker advertising on Escorts & Babes.

Has anyone had any positive experiences of a great booking that they paid a deposit to secure?

I think there are times that charging a deposit is justified to prevent the time wasters who make fake bookings or the no shows. Answering those calls and texts and making the booking is unseen work that helps create the magic in the bedroom, a fake booking or a no show stops a real client from getting that slot. The ladies who work in house have a chance to make that fake booking up with clients coming in to their workplace, private ladies don't have that option and rely on bookings.

A no show or a fake booking is like stealing, sex work is a costly - the shift fees if a lady works in house, the rent or accommodation costs if she works privately, the advertising costs and then there is the time it takes to get ready for the client that simply doesn't show.

It is stealing from clients when a scammer sex worker takes a deposit and is running a fake profile or books then doesn't show up or gives a fake address or used fake photo's.

Does anyone have any positive experiences to share where paying a deposit has ended in a fantastic booking? Is charging a deposit ever justified or is it simply too much of a risk for potential punters?

A link to the blog about scammers for anyone interested.... it's a great read!

Interesting from your side of the fence.
What happens when the punter drives for 30mins ,arrives at said property , and the lady opening the door is nothing like as advertises , or the lady wont do as agreed , does not like the customer and gives a bad job etc etc.
Does the punter ever get compensated?? Never happens.
All the false advertising is criminal, it would be scary if all the guys on here got compensated for wasting a hour drive, and a ruined morning or afternoon .
It would be great if the lady deposited money to the punter to show they are genuine !!!!

Paying a deposit is financially risky behaviour and should be avoided. Clients also can also lose valuable time and effort when working ladies do not keep booking commitments or has provided false or misleading information about the lady or her services.. So if deposits are deemed acceptable to counter clients not showing up then surely it should work the other way round so clients can charge deposits to counter working ladies ghosting or not keeping booking commitments. There are platforms such as escrow which enable dual deposits.

Pussy have the power mate, they have what you are willing to pay for, not the other way around.
Good luck getting tradies and gardeners and other services providers to pay you a deposit before they come and cut your lawn of fix your power issues, they would laugh and hang up on you.
Just my 10 cents worth on the topic

Yeah. This is ideal, but not going to happen. If an establishment/person has the intention to scam then they won’t go to those transactions that would set them up for accountability.

I agree with the sentiments, I have loss valuable time and effort with flaky bookings.

I work on reception at Langtrees, all our ladies use genuine photo's and they look like their photo's... no old pics or heavily photo-shopped images to disappoint punters.

I'm sorry to read that there are sex workers and establishments that scam... such a pointless and disappointing waste of time.
