Is it the new thing.

[hrnyscrp1971]

I’m finding a lot of SP is requesting e-transfers, deposits, Apple cards, or Vanilla cards.

Already this morning SP wants donations in advance.
I do realize it’s a scam but it seems like everyone is doing it

Not a smart idea on their part, most guys won't do that.

In my experience, most of the ones asking/insisting are scams. There are some providers that have had bad experiences with no-shows and last minute cancels. Fair enough, both sides have issues and challenges. Some established ladies who are only taking select new clients (to add to their “regulars”) seem to ask for it, but they are usually well reviewed and ask for a smaller amount.

But most are scams. Apart from the risk of being ripped off, you really can expose your personal info. Sending a bank transfer exposes a lot. You can try other ways to stay anonymous, but it is work and can be complex.

I will not provide a transfer or card in advance. May have to change some day, but so may those asking.

TLDR is that TERB is full of fools who say etransfers and deposits are always scams. And they're wrong. Only etransfer or deposit to well-reviewed, well-known, reputable escorts and you'll have no problem at all. Many of the top-rated escorts on TERB and elsewhere demand deposits from new clients because they get scammed or their time wasted, and it caters to better clientele. If you see someone demanding a deposit, don't ask yourself whether it's a scam. Ask yourself whether you'd send a deposit to some random stranger off Kijiji for a used smartphone before meeting them instead of cash on arrival, VS whether you'd prepay the entire amount off Amazon because they're a well-reviewed seller. The deposit isn't the red flag. But sending money to an unknown person is foolish.

I've prepaid entire sessions before and I've sent deposits before. But ONLY to well-known, well-reviewed escorts. Never had a problem. Ever.

And I've never sent money to an unknown, zero-review, zero evidence of being a real person escort before because that's just silly.

Totally agree with @DiscreetRocker - I have also sent deposits without any issues to reputable SPs.

 

[wpgguy]

Agree, only send a deposit to a well reviewed legit SP, other than that cash and cash only, if I can only pay via e-transfer or gift cards I‘ll just go elsewhere.

Year after year threads about this.

The solution is clear. An industry escrow company we can call Prescrow (a contraction of the words "Provider" and "Escrow").

Both parties are identified and information is kept completely private (protected under signed online contractual agreement and privacy law).

Client books and sends payment for the session to Prescrow. The funds are released to the Provider upon and/or after confirmation of the session. This could be done via pressing a button on an app/site by the parties the same way you confirm a ride with Uber.

Whoever runs with this idea... you're welcome. Capitalism is a beautiful thing. It works by finding solutions to problems.

The OP must be living under a rock cause this has been going on for years.

Since people can pretend to be other people. I Digital fraud is very common. I would say avoid any type of provider type even if they're not a scam. It's like $100 bills when they were fake. You just gotta stop dealing with it. I hated $1,000 bills disappeared and I hated it $100 bills stopped. Look for the public goodness of these services With the exception those people who have a personal relationship.

There is a possible solution as suggested Just like we have the super 100 bills. but till then It's bad karma .

Not Prescrew?...

The key word is "Reputable" Even then it is not a 100 % guarantee.
Approximately 11 months back a well known SP took a deposit and ghosted the guy.
Buyer beware in all such transactions.

 

[Robert Mugabe]

Not Prescrew?...

No. Proscrew.

 

[y2kmark]

No. Proscrew.

Pre as in $ up front and screw as in " That's the way I like it, uh huh uh huh...

 

[poker]

I can steal pictures.

I can create a fake profile with the stolen pictures.

I can post a fake ad.

I can chit chat back and forth, and ask for your donation up front.

I can do this in Dallas, London, Sydney, Halifax, New Jersey…. All without leaving my bedroom.

I can run multiple fake ads in all these cities

Apple Card’s make it really hard to trace.

I am almost stupid not too… as I bet its lucrative.

Sucks being honest sometimes.
