i saw an ad on eros-dc for a persian girl named jenna.  i called the agency and made an incall appointment for tonight.  when i should up, it was a different persian girl.  bait and switch, but i didn't mind because she was pretty.  anyway, i made my donation and then things got weird.  she asked me to intitial a reciept.  never had that happen before.  against my better judgement i did it (i was jonzin').  then she suggested we go out.  i told her i was expecting full service and she acted like she didn't know what i was talking about.  i figure i might have spooked her (maybe she thought i was LE or a psycho), so i nicely offered to leave if she returned my donation.  she said no refund.  we argued for a bit, then she called the agency and let me talk to them.  same conversation.  claimed not to know what i meant by full service and tried to get me to spell it out.  also said no refund.  i decided to hang up and leave.  i thought about grabbing my donation (it was sitting on the table), but i was really spooked.  i thought there might be a guy with a lead pipe hiding in the bedroom or waiting outside, so i left without the donation.  when i got home i discovered that her profile had been removed from eros.

has that happened to anyone else?  any idea what might have been going on?  any advice for how i should have dealt with it?  thanks.

You did exactly the right thing. You were not comfortable, and you got the hell out. You may be a few hundred bucks lighter now, but you're safe. It could have been a lot worse.

and it also happened to me once in DC.

There seems to be something about DC and this kind of thing.

In any case, stick to the well reviewed gals whether in DC or Altoona, and you should be fine.

In the meantime, report this ripoff on the DC board to help out the guys there.

I did submit a report yesterday, but it hasn't appeared.  I'd like to get info out on this scam so other guys don't get ripped off.

They definitely weren't cops, but they planted fear in your mind about it to keep you off-balanced and make off with your dough.

Never, ever accept a bait 'n' switch session. At the first hint that things aren't on the up 'n' up, keep your money, and either leave or have her leave immediately.

WOW. I was going to call the SAME chick one night when I get up there. Man. I am glad you posted this. Sorry for your trouble though.

I really wanted to see her too.

Stick with the massage parlours there in town if there are still any open. Try K street.

They had young beautiful Asian ladies that were much more affordable and worth the $$ believe me. I've almost lived in them while there.

Some have been closed down though. You'll have to walk around and check them out. Let me know what you find.

Thanks for all the replies.  For a second I did worry that they were LE, especially since they had me initial something and tried to get me to define full service, but then I realized that if they were LE they would have popped me as soon as I left the apt.

I had someone bait 'n switch on me one other time, but I didn't mind because the replacement girls was actually much hotter than the girl I thought I was getting.  Plus, as soon as I walked into the door she immediately confessed, apologized, and offered to let me leave with my money.  She said the guy who runs her agency does it all the time, but she hates it.

I tried posting the review to warn others, but it wasn't approved.  I got no explanation.  I think it might have been due to the fact that I didn't have a website (she removed her eros ad).  But I've subsequently found another ad for her on DC Backpage, so I've tried submitting the review again.  In case it's still not posted, here's a link to her ad:

I still for the life of me cannot understand the whole initial the receipt thing.

What is that all about?

Did they check your I.D. How much personal info did you give out?  Did they have references?

What she doin collecting fingerprints?  She was collecting evidence, seems to me and if you would have futher incriminated yourself, who knows?

You said Jenna, the girl in the photo, was not the girl that showed up so Jenna is NOT the girl.
Jenna is the bait photo.

Who was the agency?  Jenna is fully clothed in the ads. The only ads I have seen like this are  usually LE and the price point matches that.

I know of a few people that escaped busts by simply not saying, what full service is.
Soon as you define it out pops the man.
An article in GSO NC said that a call girl actually got off with 500 bucks of state money because she just danced a while, did not fall for the bait and left. Many other ladies that day were caught by the ole, Do you do ______?

LE has posted many ads over the years for girls on the NC bigdoggie board in clt. They even posted a thank you from to all the johns they busted and placed a link to their photos. operation HO HO HO

How is that for infultration.
You must check for reviews darlin. It is the only way out of trouble.

She did check my ID.  I've had that happen a few times with legit girls, so it didn't raise any alarms at the time.  She read my full name over the phone to her booker.

The ad lists her as independent, so I don't know who was scheduling her appointments.

The fact that she kept trying to get me to define full service did make me think she was LE, but if they were LE I assumed they would have popped me right then and there.  They wouldn't show up at my house a month later with a recording, would they?

Doesn't that put the girl in a dangerous situation?  I'm a nice guy and was scared, so obviously I ran out without causing any problems.  But I'm sure there are guys out there who might react violently if they get $260 stolen from them.  That's one reason I thought there might be a guy with a lead pipe hiding in the bedroom.
