Soooo … long story short, I played this game for years 10 years ago or so .. until an issue with a known provider who was asking for money/loans and not paying them back, outed me and cost me quite a lot .. ….. but, I've been back, slowly getting my wet feet, but honestly quite nervous with this process now.. and I made a horrible mistake and wanted to warn you guys about megapersonals.com .. I was told some guys had good experiences, and they seemed legit, I did some searching, and started looking through the ads.. saw a few, contacted them.. One seemed a pure druggie (assuming, have no proof) and the other wanted no cash, but a Visa gift card for $350 .. promised me the world, etc..

Wouldn't call me, wouldn't come down when I arrived, demanded I text her the front back of the gift card because she'd been busted before (said cops use cash.. hence the card route) and raped in there too.. and texted me she needed to call Vanilla Gift card to see the balance.. I reluctantly did it, waiting on the sidewalk .. within 15 minutes I checked and the entire $350 was already spent on shit from online stores..

I was furious I fell for that, texted her that I hoped she rotted in hell, and walked off.. returning to my office.. $350 isn't a big deal, but I tried to call Vanilla Gift cards 800 number and they basically said they don't stop pending transactions and after they posted I would have to contact the vendors my self and prove somehow to them to return the money. Fat chance of that happening.. So I ate the $350 and will likely never trust anyone off this mega personals.com site ever again.

Just wanted to let you guys know what happened to me the other day, so hopefully no one falls for it too.. which I doubt you guys will, as you're all likely much smarter/wiser than I .. lol .. I guess loneliness got the best of me and I did something I shouldn't have, trusting her .. ugh ..

Also, has anyone used that site and actually met anyone and had a good experience??

Gift cards

That has never happened to me but I see more now with girls
Either wanting a deposit with cashapp or Venmo or gift card.
I don’t respond when they ask for deposits. 10/10 are scams.

I’ve gotten burned to in the past pre paying with cash so it happens all ways.

Deposit

I used cashapp with Madelyn Adams and Cara Day. Didn't get burned. Both seem off the grid now. But you do have to be careful.

I just checked that site and that thing looks like craigslist on steroids full of scammers from India. Scam like this could be done anywhere on earth and $100 says she wasn't even at the location you were. Search images on google and you will find majority of the images posted are all taken from some influencer on twitter or instagram.

Also post to General Discussion or Newbie?

Anybody think that this is more than a Boston issue and should be posted to another board?
.
No offense to the OP, but most experienced TER readers would smell something fishy on that site. However, I don't see a problem posting an explicit warning to benefit the less experienced readers.
