For my fellow mongers that enjoy black pornstars, be very wary before trying to see Candace Von. I have a review that's pending if you want more details. Anybody else have a bad experience with her or any other xxx star please reply below.
I initially reached out to Candace back in '13 but wasn't really in position to see her until 2015. We initially agreed upon 1K so I sent her that via western union in chunks. Once it was sent she tells me that was to "secure" a meeting her full rate was $1800. So I get a "she's trying to sucker you" feeling but at this point I feel compelled to finish what I start.
At this point I had a brief unemployment stretch and then a minimum wage gig so I was able to move forward for a time. When my situation improved I reached back out to her to restart sending deposits but no response. It got to the point I started booking with other providers before she got back to me. I will be honest and say we tried to meet in NYC in 2015 but I had to postpone due to the person I was going to be traveling with cancelled on me.
I wasn't happy that she could find the time to post on instagram but not reply to texts or emails but then again she isn't my woman so i didn't really press her about it. Some of the reason things took so long was there was a discussion about doing a double with Beauty Dior but i opted for individual sessions. I sent the rest of Candace's fee in chunks and once again attempted to finalize a meeting.
Come 2017 after more periodic lack of response I sent her some more $ to bring her to Rochester on two different occasions. First time it fell through due to something regarding the law so I won't mention it here (though i don't believe it was true in hindsight). We spoke on the phone and she gave me a lot of attitude saying I was not being serious and kept canceling on her among other things. I went back through all our correspondence and "let her have it" so to speak over email.
Not sure if she read it or not but when we communicated again we had settled on June 15th and 16th. I sent her enough cash to purchase a plane ticket and hotel with an agreement that I'd give her another $500 in person. (So we're talking close to 3K by now almost triple than what i was initially told). Couple days later she texts me "So you've been telling people my business u kno everything u down the dark comes to the light honey". I asked her wtf was she talking about, no response. I go on her instagram saying we need to talk, she blocks me.
So now i'm out of enough money to buy a decent used car and probably "blacklisted" among other providers that run in her circle. While not every provider is flaky it's a risk we all run engaging in this activity. Women are notoriously fickle, flaky, and capricious in normal circumstances. Add money to the mix and there's more incentive to scam you.
Couple lessons here. 1) Don't do deposits over time with a provider directly. Either do it with an agency or wait until you have their fee altogether before trying to see her. 2) Do not engage in the hobby too frequently or for too much in money. You're better off using your time and money learning to attract women "for free" in real life. 3) Find one reliable provider and stick with her. Being a regular helps mitigate being seen as another chump to fleece.

About 3 years ago I saw a provider by the name of Jenna Shea. If you don't recall the name, google her. Her set up requires depositing a portion of the fee into her account, then the rest when she arrives. Long story short, it was a horrible session, we did fuck but she complained so much before she got there that I thought she would flake out.
What I learned from that, and several years of hobbying is:
1) providers are motivated by money, once you deposit or send money without actually being with them then you are no longer the priority, they've already got the money and plenty more hobbyist knocking on their door to bang them. Sad to say, but no matter how many times you warn others about her tactics, there are fools that will still see her. There are plenty of porn-stars that will see clients without requiring a deposit.
2) I don't do deposits or holding fees anymore, I have a decent track record of keeping to my appointments, so if we can't book without a deposit fee then I guess it's not meant to be.
3) I have to disagree with your second statement. Hobbyist don't engage in hookers because they can't attract women for "free". We engage in hobbying because it's less stressful and less time consuming than dealing with a mistress, SB, or SO.
4) Finding one reliable provider is fine, but thats too much like a relationship, and that's the primary reason I hobby, so I can have what I want, when I want and call another the next time.
Jenna Shea's ANOTHER one - total RIP-OFF. That's not SLANDER. That's FACT. Do your research, gents, both on TER and OTHER sites, and you'll read the SAME thing - TOTAL rip-off. Where there's smoke... 
To address your points, "davincib" -
1) Saying that "pros" are MOTIVATED by money is kinda REDUNDANT. Nothing WRONG with that. That's CAPITALISM, friend. It's when they MAKE you feel like a DOLLAR sign that you know THAT "pro" is NO "pro."
3) Could NOT agree with you more, my brother. I'm in the PRIME of my life, gents. In my forties, rocking' the "salt and pepper" women love, and I have a good job. I guess you could argue I'm a CATCH, NOT some lonely loser who couldn't get ANY otherwise.
In fact, "pros" ask ME all the time - WHY do you do it? For the SAME reasons that "Davin" mentioned - it's LESS stressful, there's LESS bullshit, it's LESS time consuming. There's a saying - one way or another - we ALL end up paying for "IT!"
The difference is...would you rather pay for "IT" by taking a "civilian" out on MULTIPLE dates, have to endure what may be a HORRIBLE personality, only to get to the MOMENT of "truth," only to discover that
a) she has BAD b.o.,
b) kisses like a 13 years old, or
c) gives a TOOTHY bj!
OR...
Would you rather PAY for the "services" of a "pro," a GOOD one, whose main concern is your ULTIMATE pleasure and satisfaction and WON'T be calling you back asking why YOU haven't called her back in DAYS?
I'll take the LATTER, gents, and cut to the chase, MORALS be damned. I'm good with God.
4) Unfortunately, "Davin," those GOOD "pros" are HARD to find. So once I do, I do see them on a REGULAR basis. Sure, it cuts down on VARIETY, but I get a QUALITY experience in RETURN.
This is the REAL world, bro. Like the Stones said -
"You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
you might find
you get what you NEED." 
I've said this many times in the past, and I'm pretty sure even before '13: don't send money in advance. In my experience, nothing good ever comes from letting money leave your hand at any time other than when you're face to face with the provider (not that it's 100% that way either - you can still get ripped off but the chances are less).
This board is full of stories of guys who sent deposits, or the full amounts, and then got nothing for it except anger and frustration. I don't know why guys continue to do it. Really, I don't. Boards like this exist so that people can learn from other people's mistakes and experiences. Guys: if you don't want to learn from others who have been there and done that, why are you here? You shouldn't just be paying attention to the good stuff - the reviews and contact info - but also the bad like this guy's post.
Don't send money in advance. Just. Don't.
Damn, brothers, THANK YOU, for a DEPRESSING, but ultimately PRICELESS thread.
Let me add my 2¢...
I fell in LOVE with Candace Von the FIRST time I laid eyes on her YEARS ago.
This was PRE-internet, back when we still consumed PORN the OLD fashioned way...on DVDs!
I walked into my local porn shop, saw a DVD compilation of scenes featuring BUSTY women with a ROBUST looking Candace on the cover and I said to myself "WHO the fuck is THAT?"
I'll put it like this - if the myth about BLINDNESS and jerking off were TRUE, I would have lost my eyesight a LONG time ago, jerking off to that comp. featuring Candace on the cover! 
Cut to few years later. I discovered, much to my NAIVETE, that PSs work as "COMPANIONS." Who knew? Not me! . And who was ONE of those who did? None other than Ms. Von.
So I reached out to her, YEARS ago, and got the SAME sketchy response "Virgin" did. Not only that, but when I Google'd her number, I got someone ELSE'S info! But where I differed from "Virgin" is that I used THIS board to air my suspicions and it paid off.
None other than ANOTHER major black porn star posted on my thread that Candace was not to be trusted.
But, remember, I had a SERIOUS crush on Candace. So every time she came to town, I'd still reach out to her and get the SAME sketchy response, so I'd drop it and go on with my life.
Cut to 2017. I'm getting older. ISIS is killing us left and right, and who knows when our time is up, so I'm considering seeing my ATF PSs before they retire or "Bobby Bin Laden" plants a bomb under my seat!
That was until I read "Virgin's" story. Sorry, Candace - you and I are THROUGH. I do learn from OTHERS misfortune and you will REMAIN a "fantasy" for me, sorry to say.
But THANK GOD for a site like TER where if you do your "due diligence" you may avoid the TRAGEDY that befell "Virgin."
Shout out to Mr. French. Damn, he's like our WIZENED elder! A bit CRUSTY sometimes, but ALWAYS on point. A toast to you, sir!
to Candace Von's interaction with INFORMED "T.E.R" members.
I attempted to contact her earlier today via phone. SURPRISINGLY, she picked up her OWN phone (I could recognize THAT sexy voice anywhere!)!
Unfortunately, the call was BRIEF, as she mentioned that she was having lunch. I apologized PROFUSELY and asked her WHEN would be a more appropriate time to reach her. She said in PRECISELY in one hour.
After the hour passed, and I called her, she DIDN'T pick up her phone. I texted her. She didn't respond. I went on with my life, assuming that at her INFLATED price point, she would be eager to snare a brand NEW customer.
When the afternoon came and went, and I still hadn't heard from her, I sent out a RESPECTFUL, brief reminder of HER instructions earlier that day. Again, she NEVER got back to me, and AGAIN, I went back to my life.
Finally, in the EARLY evening, so I could put this BEHIND me, one way or another, I sent her another BRIEF text stating that I felt as if I were being "ignored," but I told her that I would ALWAYS be a fan.
Well, apparently, that solicited a RESPONSE because, despite all the POSITIVE vibes I was sending her, she told me that she was in a photo shoot, couldn't be BOTHERED with the likes of me, was BLOCKING me, and that I was a "WEIRDO." Yeah, I guess it is WEIRD to admire and APPRECIATE someone EVEN when they treat you like SHIT.
THINK this story is TOO ugly to be true? I have the EVIDENCE for the NON-believers - that THREAD showing OUR "conversation," and my being NOTHING but "POSITIVE" towards her. Who knew that a NASTY attitude could be the cure for "BLUE" balls?
Yeah, like I said in a previous post, I'm done with Ms. Von. I'll still watch her videos on OCCASION, because I still believe she was a WONDERFUL adult actress.
But as a DECENT human being? Eh...not so much!
Be well, gents.
We got to look out for each other. It's easy to get infatuated and let that cloud judgement. I just saw Candace's ad on the NYC eros. I think it would be great if those who were interested in seeing her responded to it telling her that because of her shaky reputation she will not get your business.
Um, yeah, let's just say I told HER in no "UNCERTAIN" terms.
HATED to do it, HAD to do it.
