So, I've been seeing KGirls for a long time.  Dozens and dozens and dozens of them. Sometimes write reviews, mostly don't, these days....

I doubt that even matters, I can't imagine this being legit. I am almost positive you did the right thing. Obviously once you have confirmed this was an attempted rip off you need to name names to protect your brothers.

Booker did not ask me to make payment before I arrived, but when I arrived, before the session began.  I have NEVER been asked that in over 100 KGirl sessions......

I thought it was standard practice to pay up front -- discreetly, of course

...so bad and K-girls are so good.

banged hundreds of kgirls in LA and SF. ive only been asked to pay upfront maybe about 6 times in my 10 years of mongering. and that was asked WHEN i arrived. never was asked from the booker. if your spidey senses are tingling. dont do it.

is for you.  One look when you get there, and they're afraid you won't survive the hour, so they want their money up front.  Don't blame them.

you get there and something SMELLS fishy.

but you are not a newb, and I doubt you "freak out" easily. If you felt something was off, you owe it to yourself to listen to that "little voice" in your head. I am not about to second guess your actions even if it turns out they are 100% legit.

We only get touring girls up here in Frostbite Falls.  They usually have a "scheduling" agency -- but also typically claim to be independent.

You should look into anger management programs.

When I was a Newbie, I thought it was a bit of an insult to be asked to pay upfront when I was well-established with an org.  However, with experience, comes wisdom.  When I'm seeing a new girl for the first time, I will ALWAYS give her the envelope up front, and will ALSO ask her to check it and make sure I put in enough.  Once I am a regular and repeating with a girl, the donation comes at the end, because she knows me.  

Especially if you are a monger with a good reputation.  

The only difference being that your decision to tip is at the end and I tip a little on spec. I agree that a booker asking for payment at the time of the booking is a huge red flag. When I first read the OP, like you, that's what I thought happened. I've never experienced that with a Kgirl agency. It happened once with a Caucasian agency in NY where they wanted a credit card to book, so I passed.

The request, added to the other factors, made me cautious, perhaps overly cautious.  I was not offended, because a person's business methods are his own business, so to speak....  I  have been asked for up front before, but never by a booker over the phone. And if the KGirl was stiffed, I understand it....

I was referring back to myself when I was a newbie, and some others here who have expressed outrage in the past about paying up front with a new girl.

This is the entirety of a 'juicy details' section of a recent review of an Asian provider. I won't mention name because I think that might violate TER rules:

So are you implying that this might be an LE sting with the exchange of money being the quid pro quo solicitation. Or are you just saying this business model of paying up front bothers you. Also regarding the reference that other providers had the same phone number, did any of them have reviews?

A quick search on youknowwhere between LA and SF revealed identical profile on 1850254 and 188294. Just like dine-and-ditch hobbyists, bait-and-switch providers will always be prevalent.  

Paying first can lead to so many different scenarios it is just not worth it. Thanks for wake up call.

not repeat with this girl if this is what happened to you?  Lol

Not sure if LE or scam, but the gestalt of circumstances led me to cancel.  As I've said, I have NO problem with ANY business model,one chooses to adopt -  your business, your call - but when the totality of the circumstances says, 'I got a funny feeling,' I take my business elsewhere.  Just like to be safe.  On those RARE occasions when I did not listen to the Spidey sense, not good outcome -- rip offs, danger, even LE once. Escaped unscathed, but who needs ANY chance of that nonsense....

Not saying this girl was any of those, but seeking to examine with fellow hobbyists......  End of thread?

I have had this happen to me once, my first time with a certain booker. I didn't think much of it because the girl I booked had 10+ reviews already. I would later find out that the org had some issues with customers shorting some of the newer girls. It was never mentioned again to me on subsequent bookings, presumably because I didn't do anything wrong the first time.  

In korea payment is upfront. So girls want that.  Some owners/bookers let the girl do what she wants.  Ive paid upfront sometime cause girl asks for it.  Doest bother me.

Dance, you have a insider advantage on this situation, but to the novice it could be a sting. She should at least show the pussy to see what we are getting. I have also payed up front, but in what I considered a safe location and the girls that ask for it up front seem to be afraid of being ripped off.

I had a booker text for payment up front and I had a fine time.
