Sorry that he stole from you. But keep your mind focused as you said above and you will have a much happy life than letting suspicion rule your world.

A guy who called himself John and said his telephone number was 85/8-967-**** ripped me off for my donation. He seemed like such a nice guy that I told him he could go out to his car AFTER our session to get his money. Obviously he was a jerk and I want to make sure he does not take advantage of anyone else the way he took advantage of me. Unfortunately now I have to look at people differently and not be so trusting of them. I may not even want to take any new appointments. If anyone gets a call from this loser, tell him you aren't going to see him because he is a loser, and you know he rips women off!!!

well..that sucks....but dont let one bad apple sour the rest of the orchard! most of us are fine upstanding gents..
and on a side note, and not to sound like a smart ass..but how many regular hobbysts have gotten a bad deal? a bait and switch?? had a dead lifeless robot show up?? it sucks..but it happens.......................
You are right. I am not going to let this incident spoil anything. I love what I do and I love meeting people. It is too bad that there are suck miserable people in this world, men and women. But, let the good people stick together.
Diana,
I'm sorry this happened to you. You're an honest lady of top notch reputation and deserve far better treatment.
Good on you getting the info out so that others will beware.
Thanks for your input. I hope we can all stick together to make these good experiences for all of us!
Mizzdianna,
Welcome to the world we men live in. I can't tell you how many times I've been hustled by women for money (cash & dash, oh can't you spare a bit more, I'll do anything you want for $$$ even anal -- but then when it really gets down to being hot and dirty, the everything turns out to be just the normal thing ...). I would say that for a first timer you gave him way too much leash, maybe he was a victim of a cash & dash and saw an oppurtunity to do the same. If you are looking for sympathy, I have none. If you are just warning other providers, fair enough but the victims end up being mostly the males and not the females.
Rather unjust of you. Whether or not Diana is seeking sympathy (which I do not believe she is), she is not the one ripping men off, so why should she garner no sympathy when she is the victim of a ripoff? It is the wrongdoer who deserves no sympathy when reaping what they sow, not all the ladies in the wrongdoer's line of work.
Men who rip ladies off make it more difficult for those of us who deal fairly with them. Unfortunately, as Diana suggested, it makes ladies have to be more careful and business-like (making it blatanly "all about the money" that so many men on these boards complain about) rather than continue to deal with their clients as human beings.
Have a heart, mademan (or should that be madman?
)
You are right, I did give him too much leash, but it is only because I love what I do and I love the people I meet and I always assume the best. Please do not feel sorry for me, I just want to make sure that he doesn't do this to anyone else. I think it is terrible to advertise one thing and then give another, but, I suppose there are unscrupulous people everywhere. Thanks for you input.

That just sucks. Sorry that that had to happen you. I have read your reviews and have tried a couple of times to see you but you are a busy lady. Maybe I can help make it up to you!!
Thank you for your input. I am sorry we haven't been able to meet, but perhaps in the near future.
to happen to, Diana. I've seen you three times (I've seen Sherry a few times also) and I've never been disappointed. I really can't understand someone ripping YOU off.
BTW, I've heard that Sherry's no longer in the business. Is this true? I hope not, 'cause I was hoping to see the two of you after the first of hte year.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
Its guys like that, that give all men a bad name.
Not that men have a bad name, but it does make it harder to trust the next guy who comes in.
The stereotype of the street walker or call girl, the hard one, who collects her fee, and then counts every cent is just what I feel like when I have to do that. It seems kind of crass or hard to ask someone that you have just met for the fee, then to have to stand there and count it in front of him. And it is even worse when you have to ask someone that you have seen before for the money upfront. I have had two clients that I had seen before rip me off, in the past. And many clients get a little huffy or put out, when you ask for your fee upfront. But unless you want to take a chance on another rip, you have to do that. Often I don't, if I have seen him before. But it makes for an uncomfortable session, on my end. If you guys would cut us some slack and just always put the money down in the beginning without having to be asked, you would have a better session.
I do appreciate the courtesy of a client who leaves the fee and then uses the shower or restroom for a few minutes.
I don't understand the lack of sympathy from certain men. Just because you have been ripped off before doesn't seem like you should be lacking sympathy for one of us, when it happens.
I think that anyone who participates in this hobby for any length of time, eventually gets the cash and dash, the "I'm leaving my purse so that you know I'll be back", the empty envelope, the guy who picks his money back up on his way out so deftly that you don't notice till too late.
Screening doesn't necessarily keep it from happening.
Thank you for letting us all know, Diana.
If he calls me, I'll make an appointment and let you know, so you can be waiting in the bedroom after I collect. I did that with a guy who ripped Tammy off.
I've seen Diana several times, and along with Barbilyn I'd have to say she is one of the most easy going, fun, personable providers I've met. She's someone who truly enjoys what she does, and it sucks that this had to happen to someone so trusting... but alas among the roses there are sometimes thorns, and some of them are PRICKS. It's just such a bummer that it had to happen to someone so sweet!
Hopefully other providers will learn from this and not fall victim to the same a**hole...
Diana, you're too nice a chick for that, but it happens. And I sure wouldn't want to be the dude who walks back into the room and finds you and Barbilynn both waintin' for him... unless it was for a twosome I'd booked. Chalk it up; you've got a lot of fans out here.
i recall a similar situation reported by Baby Joi a while back. She actually posted the guy's name, address, phone jnumber and type of vehicle on her website. Most providers and hobbyists don't deserve this type of treatment. Hurts when it happens./
