if your description of events is accurate and complete, give her a week to provide a refund or reschedule and if she doesn't, expose this ROB's actions on every board where she does business.

Now if you did something stupid via text/email/PM and scared her off, then learn from your mistake.

Over the years, I have heard stories like yours dozens of times.  You were ripped off.  There is no such thing as a provider cancelling on the client and then being entitled to keep the money anyway.  If they want to re-schedule, that is up to you if you want it, if not, they are really under an obligation to return your money.  

Try reasoning with the assistant in a firm polite manner about who canceled on who, and if she doesn't give you your money back, go to your local board, out the provider right there, say what happened to you and start a shit storm.  You will then have maybe a 50% probability of getting your money back.

By the way, I am now stating the obvious, but don't ever give deposits.

Have been countless post like yours.
And twice as many warning of the risk of deposits.

Sorry this happened to you but there is absolutely nothing you can do to recover your money.
But there is something of value you can offer to the board.
I notice you have no reviews. Perhaps this is because you are new to TER. Or perhaps you've just never bothered to share your hobby experiences with others.

At any rate you now reach out for guidance. And I think you've received it. The deposit is lost. The only thing left at this point for you to do is name the lady so other's can avoid losing their hard earned $$$ !

Too late for you, but others have posted to PS about the reputable agencies to whom they have advanced their deposits. However, those agencies do refund or credit the deposit to another appointment if the Provider cancels or flakes

but life is not always fair.  Different providers treat deposits differently and sometimes it depends on the situation.  Porn stars are in high demand and charge premium prices, so they frequently require deposits just for a standard 1-2 hour incall visit.  Many non-porn-star girls also require deposits for things like travel-to-you or extended visits.  In my view, the closest thing to a prevailing view or industry norm is probably that if you cancel, she keeps the deposit, but if she cancels, then the deposit either rolls over to a reschedule or gets refunded (preferably a full refund).  Many girls have exceptions for things like travel costs, which may be non-refundable no matter who cancels.  (I can't tell from the OP whether she was traveling to you, so I don't know if that even applies here.)  

Unfortunately, not every girl is clear with her policies on deposits.  Here, it looks like she does not have a clear written policy stating that she keeps the deposit if she cancels.  (You may want to double check her website and any written communications with her, including any fine print.)  However, she also does not have a clear written policy stating that she will refund the deposit if she cancels.  So you would have to rely on the "industry norm" theory.  Which is not the strongest position, even in a court of law.  And of course, it is highly unlikely you would take this case to court for obvious reasons.  In this game, possession is 9/10s of the law.

So what's your remedy here?  There's only a couple of things you can do.  First, try to negotiate with the porn star / assistant.  Be firm but reasonable.  No guarantee it will work but it is worth a shot.  Personally, I would give that a shot for about a week or so before moving on to other self-help remedies.  If you don't get satisfaction - at least a partial refund or a rollover to another appointment if you're willing to do that - then you can either give up or use the few tools you have to protect yourself and others from future rip-offs.  1.) Never see her again.  Plenty of incredible girls out there have fair business practices and they should be getting your repeat business, not her.  2.) Expose her bad business practices on the Boards.  You can't write a bad review, but you can spread the word.  (Warning: this does risk drama.)  With every appointment, we risk losing money on a bad experience.  Often our only remedy is to cut our losses and help out other guys by preventing their future losses.  

There are a lot of providers out there that are consummate professionals.  Some of them never cease to impress me.  But sometimes the bad business practices of a few bad apples spoils the bunch.  Every savvy provider knows that we can't review someone we haven't seen.  The bad apples abuse this soft spot in the system with things like NSNCs and deposit abuses.  I'm all for cutting people some slack now and again, but I'm also all for weeding out the bad apples with the few tools we have to do so.  

FYI, it is highly likely that her assistant manages her TER account and TER PMs.  Most porn stars have assistants take care of all of that stuff for them.

GOOD LUCK!!!  (If you can, please let us know how it turns out.

Am I missing something here? In my region I dealt with secretaries and assistance most of the time, maybe just my choices of ladies, most have their other professional day jobs and providing is a hobby or just an additional incomes for them..and sometimes one secretaries/assistants works for a group of multiple providers, who organized and schedules and most of the logistic. I have a few incidents that I've been cancelled for legit reasons(ie, children and emergencies) and also cancelled some on my side... and those advanced deposit that I've made was somewhat refunded or recovered by honoring it by rescheduling..,I'm not really sure about a well known professional provider will tarnish her reputation a few hundred dollars, mostly unlikely.. My question is, did you asked the reason of the cancellations and try to reschedule in the future date? Just wondered, but if that's the case of no disclaimers, no refunds, I'm sorry dude, sometime shit happens and all of it is part of the game...

However, I have to ask:  why did the assistant cancel your date?

If the provider is no longer available, for whatever reason, then the deposit should be returned.  If she simply decided she doesn't like you? Ditto.  

 
So, we're all agog with wonder here: WHY was the date cancelled?  What reason was given?

 
Inquiring minds want to know!

end of message

Not much different than if you meet her in her in call lobby and she says she need money for the room and runs.

Not some scam site with stolen picts?

Bitches like that makes....

Honest hookers jobs harder!!!  

Stop ripping people off bitches!!! I require deposits & you're making my job harder!!! 😡😡😡😡

And post the truth? Were you or were you not able to move forward with your commitment with Veronica? YES or NO? Real simple.

Help When Assistant Cancels the date and wanting my deposit back.

This is the gentleman who got ripped off. To fill in some of the blanks for one wishing to know. That date was booked for Oct. 14 a Friday. I am not a lier and if others think so than I am ok with it, we all have the free will to chose our opinions. I made every amicable effort to get a win win for both sides. I did not cancel nor did I ever state in my correspondence that I wanted to cancel. I understand why providers have deposits and do not have a problem with it. The problem is due to past people ruining things for others down road. The assistant ruined it for the triple xxx provider in my opinion.
