Per an email she sent me, she requires a deposit via paypal before the 1st encounter.  This sent up red flags immediately. Anyone have any info indicating she is legit?  Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to post or email me at [email protected]  Thanks!

You have got to be shitting me!

You actually would send along money to someone you have never had personal contact with on the assumption they will come thru
with the goods?

An established provider, maybe.  Someone new and unreviewed, never.

TER membership: $20 per month.
Good Hotel Room: $120 per night
Common Sense In This Situation: priceless!

Loarthan, I appreciate your sage advice, and believe me, I whole heartedly agree (though I might have chosen different words). However, if someone on this board, be it another provider or well known member/poster had information that the person was known and could be trusted or was legit, I indeed would have probably complied with the unusual request.  Given that no one has been able to verify this person to this point, I think that caution is the better part of valor in this instance and your and my instincts are probably correct. But hey, it never hurts to ask and who knows, there may be a diamond in the rough.  If nothing else, people now have information upon which to make informed decisions and isn't that what this board is all about?

I actually emailed her and she replies with the same request, and I think I may have caught her in the unusaul request about money upfront in being a scam, nevertheless I would never send her a penny!!

I have actually contacted her also. She emailed back the same type set up using Pay Pal to send her $ 100.00 to guarantee the appointment. I politely replied that I have never heard of such a thing having been involved as a hobbyist for many years. I said why should I choose you and have to use Pay Pal when there are other providers that do not operate this way. I told her is sounded a bit fishy. She replied "good luck in your search". Sounds like a scammer to me..........

NEVER send a deposit!!!!!

Paypal leaves a trail including your name and address. If this is a reverse sting they GOTCHA!!!
