I have just had two bad experiences with providers who advertise but are actually scammers in disguise. I won't go into details but one is named Serena Ambrose who advertises on Adult Search Philadelphia. Stay away! You will get asked for a deposit up front, and then a "refundable security deposit" according to a non-existent regulation from a non-existent board. Complete scam.

The other is lizzy169 on 2Backpage. Another non-existent provider (just photos downloaded from somewhere). No deposit up front but you will be asked to have gift cards ready. Just before she is supposed to leave, her "driver" will demand gas money or no visit. If you put up the money, she will never show. Another one to stay away from.

I don't know what sites to trust any more.

Yes, I know this is a trusted site and that's why I rejoined.  But there seem to be quite a few less reviews than when I was last active about 3 years ago.  

Other sites USED to be trustworthy but that isn't true anymore....and some good sites aren't around at all. It used to be that if a provider didn't have reviews, one could take a chance and the worst that happens is that the experience was less than satisfactory. That looks naive now, doesn't it?

Looks like the landscape has changed drastically and not for the better.
