Want to start a new thread for my fellow hobbyists around providers that scam for deposits or bait and switch.  Either Pic or someone that says they are a gfe when they are not.

The similar scam that I have been subjected to twice is the one where you pay the girl and then she claims that's only her agency fee, she'll need more money to provide the services. I'm amazed that they get away with it. I've gotten the bait and switch twice from one of the asian agencies. But I would never pay a deposit. Too many fish in the sea.

Agencies have been running scams in Vegas forever. All agencies are not created equal. Sorry for your bad experience.

Deposits are perfectly safe if you research and pick a reputable provider.  They show us that you are a serious client and you are less likely to stand us up. Believe me, we would rather have the rest of the fee and repeat business. No one is getting rich on deposits.

2 more quick points. Choose independent over agency to avoid the scam mentioned above. Also, GFE means something different to everyone. For some people it means unprotected, for other people it means deep kissing and snuggles. There's no scam there.
