Okay.....hmmmm, I have been out of it for a few years and just starting back up to connecting with providers. I was surprised when asked to pay half the donation through PayPal or Zelle before she would arrive. Also, requests to have the remainder placed on an eBay card that she would pick up when she arrived. Not just one provider, but in Tulsa OK like every provider with the same claims about being burned by fake money.
So, I did put money towards a "deposit" through PayPal. I get message that she is on her way and then a message she was pulled over by police and they read her messages and were taking her to jail for providing escort services. Then, text me that the police are trying to force her to bring them to where I am but she can pay them off but needs more money through PayPal.
Yes, I know.....laughing......not the kind of story anyone will believe.
I guess the placing money in a white envelope in plain view no longer exists?
I have never prepaid, nor has a provider ever told me that cash was not accepted. I do avoid those who want deposits, however. Thanks for warning others of one of the reasons not to prepay.
is to never pay a deposit; it is plainly and simply money at risk.
Now, I won't say I never put forth a deposit. For multi-hour dates and with a very reputable lady I might demonstrate that I have some skin in the game with a small deposit (say 10-20%). Frankly, I do it knowing it is money at risk, funds I am gambling with. With the women I've seen, it usually works out - but I have lost a deposit or two before.
Never have I ever thrown good money after bad in a manner you describe.
The 80 or 90% I still owe, she can pick up off the bathroom vanity or other place she prefers once she arrives at the room for our session.
You do know the police story is a lie, right? To separate you from more money?
Step away from STG and book with more reputable providers.
It appears this was the first time you were seeing her. If so, giving a deposit to someone under ANY circumstances is risky but especially to someone you've never met before.
Also not clear whether your location was your home or a neutral site like a hotel. If it was your home this is a big no-no if you'd never met her before. Even if it was a hotel, it's too big a risk for me.
1. Due to previous provider fuckery , I rarely prepay/pay deposits if I have never seen them. The last time I paid a deposit, the amount was so low, $50, for a $700 date, I was willing to risk it. It worked out.
2. Deposit by Paypal just seems shady.
Beware of using PayPal. Their terms of service allow them to seize an account for what THEY decide is a violation. And they seize the ENTIRE account balance, not just the questionable transaction amount.

is complete bullshit. If the police were interested in you, they would not have let you warn her, they would have had her tell you she was released and that she is still coming to see you. Police are not going to get involved in a third-party extortion. This is a shakedown of you by HER, pure and simple. There are no police, just her trying to find out if you are stupid or not. Where did you find this gem of a provider? Lol
Definitely complete bullshit. Remember that she said they discovered her escorting by looking through her phone. If that was true, they already had the OP’s address.
Part II of the scam might still be coming. A call from fake law enforcement. I hope the OP didn’t give that “provider” his home address.
They don't need her to take her anywhere. You paid via PayPal so if they are interested they can already find you.
Scam, 100%
prepay with any type or card or service like paypal,venmo or apple pay
how much did she get you for? and I hope you said this was for goods and services on Paypal so you can dispute it.
Let me say when I see a _________(analogy/ cereal/ overnight/ ) so stupid, I have no choice but to ______.
Pay a deposit no matter what!
