See postings for new girls coming in for a visit.  Why would anyone pay a deposit?  I understand the desire for the girls to make sure they get business but still seems the risk for the hobbyist is too great to pay for deposit.  We all know unless a Provider is heavily reviewed you can't rely on the reviews neither.  IMHO.

If you have seen and know the girl, no problem. If not, be prepared to get ripped off. If the girl will not trust you, there  is no reason for you to trust her. Look elswhere. .  

Yeah, I don’t send them either.  I just move on if that’s in an ad.  

I don't usually pay a deposit but there was someone I really wanted to see. She had a lot of good reviews and so I PM's several of her reviewers about that. They all said it was a small deposit and she was worth it. I paid the small deposit and met her and had a great time. We now have great communications and I scheduled more time with her. I paid for the whole date up front by zelle so we don't have to deal with envelops at the start of our time together. I go to her apt so that makes me feel safe because for the most part, I know where to find her. As in everything, do your research. Don't do it if there is a small amount of reviews.
