Ripped Off - By Dancer At Club Taboo by SEX-ANALYST

On Friday night (Nov 21), went to the back vip to dance with a blonde with the stage name of Tracey.

She is tall about 5 `8 nice figure, long legs, long straight bleached blonde hair, average face, small to medium breast with brown nipples, around 23 - 25 years old.

While at the back just before dancing, she said she was nervous, it was her first time dancing in 7 months. She explained she just had a baby 20 days ago....and then she showed me her new baby`s photo. She said she needed to cash a government welfare cheque for about $650 and needs the money right away to help her and the baby. She with sign the cheque over to me and I will deposit it in the bank, and I would then give her the cash. It was 1am and she said I could then go to her place and have fun till 3am. I agreed, and gave her an intial sum of $300 after she gave me her health card as security while I waited for her outside the club.

Well she called a taxi, for her ex-boyfriend (baby`s father) who was drunk and asked me to keep out of sight until after goes away on a taxi. Well I waited at the club like a fool, and they both took off on the taxi together.

Boy do I feel stupid. IF you see her, just avoid her and don`t get any dances , boycott her please !!!

I thought I was helping her and the baby, that was my main incentive plus the possibility of having fun, but its not fun to be ripped-off. Hmmm what do I do with a OHIP health card now ?
I`m not even sure if it looks like her in the picture. Her real name is Isabella on the Ohip card.

Tough luck. Security isn't security unless it's worth $300. I'm surprised SEX_ANALYST didn't take the endorsed check (after confirming that the check was made out to the same name as was on her ID). The cheque would have been real security.

I did this once myself. Different situation. My girlfriend (dancer/SW) at the time was in Brampton detention and a 'friend' she'd met there wanted me to pickup and cash her family allowance check from her husband/boy friend (I forget which). It was her son's 16th birthday and they didn't have any money; she wanted to get him an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. I made sure I had the cheque in my hand before I passed over any money. Fortunately everything worked-out ok.

I guess it proves the old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted".
I am lucky I am an uncaring bastard. Saves me from these scams
Don't get me wrong, I have thrown away my money just like everyone else but I have known full well I wouldn't see it again. One of my little rules of life "never give money if you expect to get it back". Trust me it will save you a lot of headaches.
