Be extremely cautious about responding to ads in Phoenix.  On wednesday I threw caution to the wind and called an ad.  The ad said "massage" "everyone goes home happy".  She directed me to a parking lot where she met me to exchange gift.  We then drove together to her place.  Once I was  naked she grabbed my billfold and held a stun gun to me wanting more, She especially wanted my ID.  We fought and I took the stun gun off her when she started to scream.  I put my clothes on fast and ran to my car.  I have no doubt that she wanted to blackmail me to get more cash.  She and a male friend continue to call my cellphone leaving obscene messages.  I am scared to death and don't know what to do.  Stay away and deal only with TER rated SP's.

I wish you would of read some post on TBD before you try someone out of the Phoenix it is very hit or miss, the girls from the Phoenix are like one step above street action, and like street action yo are taking your life into your own hands the post where made under rhode island maybe that why you didn't see them but to all beware of the Phoenix it's a crap shoot

wow, that is scary.  If you can block the number on the cell phone, do it. Better yet, cancel the phone and get a new number. Be aware that they may have your license plate number for your car. In any case, check your credit report and keep an eye on things. Good luck my friend.

Blocking the number is a good idea and I will check it out.  It would be a major pain to change numbers because I use it for business.  Also, when she snatched the cash from my pocket, I had some business cards in there as well and she got them too.  So that means she has my office address.  I hate to think where this could all end up.  My stupid fault.  Don't make the same mistake.  Use TER.

Thanks for passing that on. I, too, have seen a few in Providence and have walked out of two situations. Appreciate you taking one for the team and passing it on.

Gr8shot2, I am very sorry you had to go through that. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help, but if there is Please don't hesitate to ask.  I actually just thought of something that you may be interested in Please email me [email protected]

This is all I meant when I said I would never give out personal information to a provider.  It is as if, we are to believe, that they all can be trusted and we can not.  I surely hope nobody believes that.  Wake up and smell the coffee.

GR I wouldn't worry to much about your cards they people are most likely common crooks and threw that away and pocket your money. Please be careful all.

Usually when i go to meet a new provider i usually only bring cash and my liscense if she wants to verify my ID nothing else.that should be all you need well maybe a condom just incase.
good luck and hop[e everything works out. Maybe we can meet at the munch if it comes about.

I lived in Providence for several years but never hobbied there.  It's not the first time I heard a story like that.

I had a similar experience in NYC before these boards were around.  

I know it's hard to do right now, but chances are these two got what they wanted.  As suggested, block the call and deny everything.  As long as they didn't get an 8x10 glossy of you in your birthday suit, you're ok.....

Thanks to all that followed the strand.  The scratches and bruises were hard to explain to family but when in doubt, a white lie will always help.  I havee learned my lesson. Just goes to show the importance of TER for both SP's and hobbyists.

Thanks again
