Just got back from a trip to Houston.  Found Shelby on the web - looks great!  Paid the deposit ($150) and got confirmation via email of the date, time and location.  She never showed, never called, never emailed.  Kept the deposit.  Lesson learned for me!  There are too many quality providers in Houston to waste time with Shelby.

I expected as much. That ad and web page uses the name and images of a porn star who lives in Atlanta.

Actually Shelby Belle is a Canadian citizen.

Here is the reasearch....

I have seen this ad also. I would consider "any" provider looking for an up front deposit to be a scam and a total ripoff.

Sorry this happened to you buddy, but I bet you won't let this happen again.  

well i had a rant about this but i hit the wrong darn key and lost it instead of post,lucky for you i am over it now ,lol
I require a deposit and i do it quite well.Only for new friends not established friends.

FYI~ did you know that 50% or more in large cities , of unsecrured dates end up as no shows?
now knowing that wouldnt you require a deposit?

true you got jerked, and bad things happen to good people everyday,Im sure it piss's me off more then you,no sh*t.
Those of us you try to look out for our selfs pay the price for the wrong dueing of others.And if you say thats not true,then you will have contradicted yourself already.There are people who would abuse the deposit thing,and even some who mess with the screening process.THATS JUST WRONG!!!
Do at least try to remember most arent like that.
And you should ask some questions,do your home work as well. I checked that site it wasnt even working and the deposit on a "porn star" was too good to be true as well.
That should be the lession.
