I suggest gentlmen PLEASE do your research. Make sure the ladies has 20+ reviews, a website, ads over a long period of time and a social media presence. That's how you tell if she's legit.

If not, she could be a rip-off artist. These type of stories have sky rocketed during the Pandemic.

I'm glad you are ok!

Stay safe, GT

That is awful! I am SO sorry. Glad you made it out.

I am sure this was a frightening experience for you that will stay with you. A cautionary tale for yourself and others that brings to mind some some thoughts and advice.  I have been hearing variations of your experience too often lately and I fear a tragic headline in the near future.

Ginger is right perform your due diligence thoroughly.

Google everything, the ladies name, phone and all her ads.  Look for red flags like a variety of phone numbers or many different cities at the same time.  Her pictures that may show she is actually someone else or at least question her authenticity.  Search her on TER not so much for reviews as cautionary postings like yours on local boards.  Realize that a number of  recent reviews to  relative  newcomer with a continuing theme should be a cause for hesitation as many of those may be solicited or frauds.  If there are not many reviews realize that many do not want or discouraged reviews.

Longevity is an important consideration   has she been advertising on a site for more than 6 months (maybe even years) if she is a bad actor most likely the law of averages would have caught up with her.  411 (which performs some vetting) and others actually post how long she has been advertising there. I believe that to be an important consideration because most of the stories I hear like yours are involving relative newcomers as providers.

Not all have a website ( many use 411 for their site) and honestly anyone can have a site easily.  If so look at the site and all ads, is there a common logical theme that resonates and sounds intelligent and well thought out.  Or is it rambling and filled with all the usual claims and self aggrandizing promotions that are carbon copied from site to site. Really no one is going to say anything bad about themselves but they can certainly make it obvious who they are in their posting if you put some thought into examining it.  

Develop an informal scoring system for yourself use your math skills add up all the numbers and come to a logical conclusion.  Talk to the lady for more than a few minutes casually interview her.  Does she sound original, authentic, genuine and organic?  Does she sound like what her ads described?  

Is she making it really easy to visit her ie did she perform any screening or interview with you,?  So think about it if she performs no screening at all or requests no info at all why would you consider her safe to see?  Does she think so little of herself that she really puts herself in harm's way or is she pulling you in because she knows your little head is in charge?  

Easily summed up here..... Put more thought and effort into this, or at least as much as you would into the search for and purchase of an expensive pair of running shoes or hiking boots, SERIOUSLY

Orally Yours

Not as bad as you, but I had an experience like this and never TOFT ever again.  

Years ago I was in Tampa before the internet. I saw an ad for two beautiful women for $400 who guaranteed their time would be "unforgettable." I call, they agree to come over, and at the appointed time... two attractive girls show up; not the ones in the ad, but good enough that I'm okay to proceed.

We sit down and start to talk, but "first things first, let's get the money out of the way" they ask, so I pay them.  

Then they start talking about anything and everything. They are masters of "tell us about Atlanta, tell us about what you do, tell us about your exercise routine, etc., and they keep talking, asking follow up question after follow up question. This goes on for a long time and finally I say, "Hey, can we get down to business?" and they agree to do so.  

They sit on either side of me and start to rub my body when an alarm goes off (I paid for an hour, got about 40 minutes max) and they say, "Ooops! Out of time! Great meeting you, we have to go now!" and they both quickly run out the door. I try to catch up with them (I was renting someone's house) to even just ask if I can extend the hour but they get into a car and there's a guy driving-- who flashes a gun and briefly aims it at me. They pull off and I'm out $400 (the equivalent of about $800 today) for a crappy conversation.  

That experience changed me forever. If a provider doesn't have reviews that extend over a long period of time and are mostly positive, I don't care how tempting or low-priced or beautiful or professional her ad and pics might be, I let someone else take it for the team.

That's the beauty of these experiences--if we're smart, we never repeat them again.

Big head has a brain; little head does not. Do all your thinking with the big head. The little head is just a plaything. Don’t make decisions with the little head.
