I had a similar experience with Vanessa Love which I posted about. My sympathies.

There’s a horrible review of her here.

Another example of why I rarely see providers w/o reviews.

Now I only see one review of Roberta, yours.

I have a strong recollection of seeing another one a few weeks ago. Don’t think I dreamt it so I wonder where it went.

I see she advertises on "Gina'slittleSecret" which ironically is actually owned by a guy who used to be active on the discussion boards. I would suggest you send him an email and let him know what happened. I am sure the last thing he wants is known scammers on his site. I doubt he'll be able to get your money back, but at least he "should" kick her off his site and maybe keep some other guy from losing his money like you did.  

 
I won't rub salt in the wound, (or at least I'll "try" not to" but this is the reason that most of us will NEVER send a deposit to ANY provider no matter whether she has a web site, or even a hundred solid reviews, DON'T DO IT!!! I know the ladies are going to come up with a thousand reasons why they "need" a deposit, but unless you are booking an extended date or asking your date to spend her own money for something special for "you" such as a special outfit at your request DON'T DO IT!!!

 
Yes, you are safer when dealing with a "well reviewed TER provider" but even that does not provide any kind of guarantee that she won't take your money and ghost, the only guarantee to never have this happen to you again is, come on wait for it. DON'T DO IT!!! lol

 
BTW one more thing, I don't mean to criticize your choice in women, but that woman looks 70 if she's a day. Ugh

I feel your pain bro, I too was scammed by her over the summer. I did post some alerts on various NYC boards. That cured me of ever doing deposits or fees in advance forever. I know it doesn’t make you feel better but you are not alone.

One rotten apple as the saying goes.

yeah im seeing so many ads saying you have to pay upfront i just move on
