So sorry to hear of your terrible misfortune

It is at least some very good consolation to hear that you were not hurt!

Dastardly SOB's like him give the good NY hobbyiests a bad name.
Unfortunately,this kind of scoundrel-like occurance can happen anywhere.

It does not make sense that this would happen after "screening" him and checking provider references.

There would obviously be a glitch somewhere in your screening process or perhaps maybe identity theft?

TER or TBD screen names should never ever be accepted alone in your validation without at the very least, some sort of a PM dialogue with the member.

I'm sure other providers can offer you more detailed private advise to insure that this does not happen to you again.

Hope the rest of your tour works out for you here!
Please be safe.

so sad to hear this ..

we (NYC Gents) typically put our best foot foward with the gals.

I know this sounds like a cliche.. but as long as you are okay
everything else will fall into place!!

this guy hooked up with that girl Danielle who was running the Craigslist scam (see prior posting), who now appears to be going by the name of Tiffany on CL with comments on a "trip to Greece"...  then it would be real interesting to see who winds up with the money!!!

also sorry to hear about it all. but I'm glad you weren't hurt.

h

is not from a provider you KNOW...unfortunately, not every girl remembers who the guys are and, when asked for a reference, is simple to say "ohhh he's nice" and get over with than actually make an effort to make sure the guy is safe before vouching for him.
I was in MD, place that LE is very active, and saw a guy based solely on a reference from a well known local provider.
She called me in his behalf and, to make sure she was legit, I mailed her twice and she swore he was fantastic.
After my 3 hr appt was over and he was ready to leave, he sat in the bed and said he needed to come out clean with me.
Then, he explained how he was dying to see me and didn't have ANY references and used her name "gambling" on the fact she would not care or remember her johns. He told me he never saw her, but knew she was in the area for a while.
Then, he told me he was a retired cop from DC and that I should never trust another provider, unless I knew her personally.
Sorry that happened to you

But you should definitely report this to the authority.  You have nothing to hide...you didn't do anything wrong!

Please don't think all NYers are like this asshole.  Always play safe.

I'm sorry you had to go through that with those animals in NYC.  I hope all is well now.  Looking forward to seeing you in Philly soon.

Re:Welcome to NYC

We should all chip-in to make her stay worthwhile. Kadi, let's pm so we can arrange a meeting.
