I know this is sensitive topic but to filter fake bookings, I am requesting nominal deposit before booking appointments. I got couple of pisitive response and there were few flakes who got offended.
Any suggestions? Personally I don’t like it but lately I have seen uptick in fake bookings.

Xeena I understand your point of view as well. You have to do what’s best for you. I will not ask for more than 50$ deposit for one hour appointment. Then also guruantee that if you you cancel then you will have compensate with hh appointment at least

20 bucks edeposit should be enough to keep away the scam artists, pimps, managers or sleazy competition from fake booking your time. Cheap people are usually cheap with money too. Most guys would be willing to risk 20 bucks that you aren't going to bail. However there will always be a lot who won't risk a 20 on an unknown for fear they arent real or that the person just needs some quick dope money. Again though, your business.

I think it might be a good decision. Certainly the first one to do it will get a lot of attention with reviewers deciding whether it is worth this extra step while others will be seeking verification that it is legit. I am just a newbie but I would think that anything that makes you feel more comfortable will make for a better encounter. There is an element of trust involved but also respect. If they won’t give you that respect are they worth it? My business is somewhat similar and my answer would be no. If someone’s reputation warrants it I would definitely do it.

Money aside, I wouldn't send a deposit because it leaves a paper trail, however, there are some people who won't care (I have personally seen evidence of people using their work emails for hobbying).

Personally, it's not about a small amount of money. It's about the number of 'hoops' I would have to go through to see that someone, plus etransfers leave a paper trail...no thanks.
I would REALLY have to want to see someone if I had to do anything more than text, email or call.
As others have said, do what you feel is best for you. I'm only one client but this would assure we will never meet.
There are plenty of providers available, there are choices to be make and we are all free to make them. My choices are made and they are simple, no etransfers for me thanks.
That being said, I wish you luck should you choose this path.

Go for it Xeena, try experimenting with it. If it looks like it's working to your advantage than continue... If not than go back.

Personally, I agree and will side with my friend StillROAMing.

TJ, it is not so much the amount, it is the paper trail like others have mentioned and the (potential) loss of privacy.

When you send e-transfer to others, your real name will show up (unless you use an incorporated company name, which can be traced back to you anyway). I have not met xeena so I want to give her the benefit of the doubt but I can't say if my personal information is secure and I don't know if she can guarantee that either. When your real name is known, there are all kind of scenarios that can lead to potential trouble (social media profiles, job positions and company name via LinkedIn so on and so forth.

We all have to make choices. I respect what xeena wants to do but I am in the same boat as Roam, I do not need to see SPs/MAs who ask for e-transfers. Just like they say, there are plenty of fish in the sea...

I can appreciate your frustration. You're just trying to run a business.
Give it a try and see what works.

Personally, I'm not one to indulge in deposits but that's just me.

Thank you boys for your constructive feedback. General consensus is against deposit collection and I will have to come up with other effective screening solution. Access to burner phone has made it much easier for flakes to fake bookings without fear of reprisals.

Do what makes most sense to your business. You will have to weigh the pros and cons and you wont know until you try. Obviously you will lose some clients because of it but if it prevents time wasters and saves you money in the end then it might be worth it

Just so everyone knows. I've mentioned this before but I have a CIBC account and I am able to change the name on it so no one sees my real name.

Fully agree with Roam. It's a big hassle to do etransfer with no name. I see ladies with no such requirement and I never cancel. If I have to cancel then it will be a day in advance. Best wishes to those who seek deposits.

It,s beyond my Geek know how to hide my info in such a transaction so you would loose a client.

Providers should set up there own avoid list ( using phone #,s) ,, I,m sure such a list is somewhere .

Thanks for the tip to change the name on your bank account. Are you maintaining at least 2 accounts? One with an alias for hobbying and one with your real name for day to day transactions including legal obligations? The reason I asked this question is I recently needed to e-transfer something to a law office and one of the condition is the name on my back account must match the name on the legal document...

This is a private account that no one knows about. I have a regular account at a different bank for actual banking. CIBC is the only one I know that allows you to change the name that shows up.

I see, it would still leave a paper trail though. Would it still remain possible for any person in blue to visit this financial institution and discover who the actual account holder is? I would think so.
I understand, hope anyways, most of us use a false identity in this industry all around but this may null and void these efforts if the above remains possible when doing etransfers under a false name.

For me, it really comes down to either parties wanting to push to have the other end of the business go through more obstacles for a visit and I do mean both sides. I understand we all would like for things to be 'safer' or 'hassle free' but if we keep adding to the process when will it end! Over the years clients have asked from Providers to have a website, Twitter account, email, proof methods like pics and videos, etc. Providers have asked for real numbers, etransfers, ID, references and board handles or a combination of some. What's next? IMO, the evolution has already ventured too far for both parties involved. My two cents.

I'll add:
This is an illegal entertainment industry, not one of corporate legal takeovers.

I believe everyone here has a paper trail. How big of a trail you leave depends on how careful you want to be. Some people just don't care and will book with thier real names, emails, numbers and even through twitter accounts which is also unsafe in my opinion... But again depends on how careful you want to be.

I used to book with a burner phone than moved on to encrypted text apps. I also use VPN network to mask my IP.

Xeena: looks like some people see etranfer as a risk, as do I.

Alternatively, a completely anonymous payment method is https://www.paysafecard.com/en-ca/. It would be a pain because a client would have to purchase this at a retail location like Canada Post then send it to you. But at least it protects someone's legal identity. A long time ago I used this method when I used to pay to play on the Ashley Madison website so I know it works.

Instead, you will have to conquer the perception that many people many feel like this is some sort of scam.

Pros and cons with every approach!

Unless you open an account with fake ID (which I am not recommending anybody do) LEO will be able to know who sent the money - that in it itself enough deterrent for me to email money.
