In the last thirty-one days, I have been ripped off twice, for a total of $350, by two customers whom I've seen in the past––one of which for over ten years! One customer took the money I asked for up-front out of my bag while I was cleaning up in the bathroom, and the other, a veteran of my services, walked out saying he left his wallet in his car. I would really hate to implement a strict policy of all money presented up-front, counted, and locked away, but it's a very unpleasant experience to be taken advantage of. I have also often been ripped off in small ways of  $10, $20, or more off my service price. I have great empathy for the gentlemen who are ripped off by service providers and TER is to be thanked for alerting its users of those perpetrators, but I would like to hear from service providers who have been cheated, slightly or grossly, and how they deal with it.

Times must truly be getting bad for two trusted friends/clients to rip you off during the Holiday Season.  This business is built on trust, and idiots like these two destroy not only the trust they shared with you, but the trust you share with all your clients -- past, present, and future.  Here's to much better beginnings in 2004!

sp sorry you were ripped off...

you know... it sucks.. plainly simply no doubt about it sucks... and not with near the enthusiasm and toe curling devotion that we girls put forth... just lay there with an open mouth you silly blow up doll sucks...

ive been ripped off also... it almost seems to becoming popular.... $10 and $20 is common... its really annoying

i also had one of those go to the car deals... but he wasnt a long time client... just a long time contact.... i figured he was gonna just take off... but this guy actually came back with an envelope.. then took off... in the envelope he had some cut up paper and $2.... i think it was maybe his way of letting me know he was ripping me off.... lol... like i wouldnt have known had he just driven away... -shrug-... kinda hope he sat on his scissors... jerk...

fact is... other than my ego being dented... and my budget being reorganized... i realize things coulda been a whole lot worse...  these guys coulda been mean or violent or dirty or psycho... luckily... they were just jerks... butt headed no good loser jerks... (ok.. maybe im a little bitter)...

there was this post on here once.. not sure which board... that talked about how some guys actually feel justified by shorting his provider by just a little... like there getting some sort of deal... i guess thats those $10 and $20 short counting butt wipe jerks... doesnt make sense... does it...

it really hasnt changed the way i do things though... when my first big rip off happened... i posted on the board... i was ready to tell anyone who wanted to know all about him... (and still would actually...-eg-) i wanted revenge... the jerk... but in the end i got over it.. cause there were lots of nice good sexy hot and fun guys that made the little pig jerks seem miniscule and insignifigant (sp?)... and in the big scheme... thats exactly what they are... i bet they steal grapes at the supermarket too!

xoxo...

Maybe they were really lonely and broke(it was the holidays).......maybe it was their way of breaking it off with you  many reasons why they would have shorted you, none of them valid for you of course.
I am never offended when someone asks for the donation in advance.

When money is involved its ALWAYS business, never personal.

Just smile sweetly when you ask and nobody'll mind.  Well, hardly anybody.  I usually prefer to have the business part out of the way and then enjoy the session without having to think about it any more.

Fact is that if you're in any kind of business at all, ripoffs are inevitable.  The best you can do is minimize them.

Hopefully some of the ladies are answering you by PM.  Best of luck.
