This happened to me today, 4/4. Laugh all you want, but I got burned, and it's no one's fault but my own. Usually I don't touch the money until after the session, no more. I bought a counterfeit detection marker today, anyway here's a discription of of "Jim:"

Says his name is Jim, says he owns a cement contracting company. Doesn't have a cell phone because his wife watches the company phone bill, calls from payphones. Wears a gold wedding band. Is about 5'8" tall, average build with pot belly. Medium length black hair, parted on the side and feathered, kinda greasy, tanned/olive skin. He uses TER as a reference but only seems to know it by the full name, not the initials. He has a large purple scar from his belly button to the base of his penis. His penis hangs short, but hardens to about 6", and very narrow (less than
1" wide, standard Trojan barely stays on). Pops fast and tries to be smooth about leaving fast. He put the money out on the nightstand before the session, and didn't seem to be nervous about it. When I counted the money after, it was slick paper, and seems to be inkjet printed.

Girls - Watch for someone that wants an short notice appointment and seem not too concerned about overpaying. Time for us all to get a counterfeit pens, sorry guys, one asshole ruins it for the rest.

I saw the same guy about 3 months ago, tried to hand me 800$ in counterfit 20's.... He does have a criminal record, so I took his id, counterfit 20's and told him that I would have to turn them in if he couldn't pay me in real currency. He came up with the money needless to say... sorry I didn't post about it...

If you had screened him prior to meeting him you probably would have found that out before you met him. It's always good business practice to check people out first not only for this kind of crap he pulled but also for your safety. Please ladies, be careful who you see.

The Pens can be bought at Target or Any Office Supply store... Whenever I'm in the least Leary, I use "the Pen" before whoever leaves my place... It is a good Idea to keep one on hand. I havent been cheated like that yet, (knock on wood) and I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way, Tanya. I hope your luck changes!

XOXO

Oh my God! How horrible is that? Sorry to hear about that sweetie.
Some people are just shady scammers. Its too bad!

And the worst thing is that he gave a reference, but the provider didn't get back to me.

I also took one for the home team. I never count the donation upfront because everyone except for that jackXXX have been honest people. After that I was thinking of doing a money check right there at the door before I let the client come in BUT THAT was just my anger talking. He also gave me a providers name but didnt follow up on it but I do now.

Things are going well, I just had a week where I couldn't catch a break no matter what, and the bogus bills topped it off. This week has been really good. Take care of yourself too!

This dirtbag is giving honest customers a bad name.  Girls, Know that we are not all sleazy. The amount we put into the envelope in good faith is the amount we had agreed to with the provider in question....
