I am not posting any personal info from this gent, but it is a solid warning that we all need to be very diligent and careful in this industry. This occurred in Las Vegas, but I will also be cross posting it to the general board as well.
"Let me preface by saying I am so disappointed in myself for allowing this to happen even though I had tons of red flags and knew with everything in me that something was wrong! I had been using coke during the day and my ability to think during this encounter was seriously hindered. If any SW’s in the LV area would be willing to message me, I could really use some help figuring out what to do here. With it being my first experience, it has been tough trying to find a high end provider that was not asking for more personal information than I was comfortable providing for verification. I found a gorgeous girl on Skipthegames and the ad was exactly what to expect from a legitimate provider and the title mentions “Independent Provider” (can share if I can’t get this resolved), so I gave her a call and although I didn’t realize I was talking to someone else (apparently an agency)everything sounded good and we agreed to spend an hour together for $400. When she arrived, she was 100% the exact girl in the pictures, maybe even more attractive, and we grabbed a drink to take up to my room. After she counted the $ and put the envelope away in her purse, she explained that money didn’t actually buy her time, but just paid the agency for having her show up and she didn’t get any of it. I was completely unaware until this point that an agency was even involved, so I unknowingly was down $400 off the bat without agreeing to it. This is red flag #1 that I’m hoping you girls can provide some clarification on for me because she went to great lengths to “prove” to me that this is the only way it is done in LV and if I didn’t want to pay for HER time I would just end up having the same situation with ANY other girl. I felt manipulated but I tried to be understanding because I didn’t want her to leave. She beat around the bush about how much was appropriate to tip for her to stay for the hour I thought I had already paid for, but finally said that $1500 was her usual starting point. I was completely taken aback, and even though it was rude I did try to talk with her about this being well above what I planned hoping to get the price down. I told her $1k was all I could do and she was okay with that and said she just wanted yo be done talking about the money part so we could enjoy each others time. She put the money away and we kinda talked about other things, flirted, put on music and our clothes came off. This is when everything stopped and she said I needed to give the other $500 if we were doing anything else. She was very persuasive (manipulative) in getting me to be an idiot and agree and it worked. I don’t want to provide a ton more details about our time together but suffice to say that extra $500 didn’t make her happy because she cut off just a few minutes later for her pitch of how I had only paid her minimum which was only going to get minimum experience. I was just blown away by how awful the experience at this point and ready to just cut my losses ($1900 now) and my God I wish I had. After telling her to leave and starting to get ready to figure out my next move, I somehow let her hustle me again so bad that I’m in complete shock and literally am questioning if I am having a nightmare. She blinded me with lies about how this would allow spending more time and completely change the experience into something unforgettable with desired specifics that I’m not going to mention and I willingly tipped her an additional $1800. Once she had the money, she asked me to go get her another drink from the bar and I brought up I didn’t want to waste time but she said she wasn’t rushing now and we would have plenty of time. To try to shorten up the remainder of this, I’ll just say that when I got back with the drink she mentioned needing to hurry up bc she had been here a long time, made no effort to create that unforgettable experienced and out mutually agreed to specifics got left out somehow. When I brought it up she asked for more money. Obviously at this point regret had already been building, so it was a HARD pass and walked her out. When I got back to my room, I realized my Rolex my grandfather gave me before he passed away was gone. She also jacked my stash. When I called her number they pretended to be detectives at first, then the supposed agency owner started trying to say I was the one who wasted her time and I must have lost the watch myself because she has been in business for so many years (think she said 9) and doesn’t employ thieves. I can respect the hustle of getting as much money as possible, but this is fucked up. I need advice from locals on how to get my watch back. Someone knows her. I have pictures of her, a potential business name from when I Venmo’d, several different ads on different sites, and with the help of a hacker friend I can more. I just want my fucking watch back so I can forget about this horrible experience. Please help me? That watch is irreplaceable with the sentimental value."
