I recently made a huge mistake!  On my way to visit a friend for the week, I stopped one morning into a place that offered friendly message services.  I paid the $80 up front thinking I'm going to get a gentle nude message.  Upon entering a room, the girl sat me down and told me that for $1000 she would take me upstairs to a suite and give me full service.  In the heat of the moment I thought that I really could splurg and spend some money on myself as a xmas present.  She then took me to the small cash machine located out in the foyer area where I proceeded to withdraw $1000.  The machine however, would not let me draw the money out of my account in one solid lump sum.  I could only take out $100 at a time with a $10 fee each time.  I then encountered the problem of the atm not having enough money.  Here I was stuck with $800 and paying $80 for it.  The girl then told me that 800 would give me one single cup not FS.  Stupidly thinking that I was going to get a bbjtc or a bbj, I agreed.  To make a long story short, she took my money and led me to the room where I couldn't kiss her, I couldn't touch her anywhere, she didn't touch me and I had to have a towel over my privates at all times.  Talk about embarrasing.  I have never felt so horrible in my entire life.  When I asked her if she would touch me she told me "what do you think I am, a prostitute?" and this made me feel even worse as though I was degrading her.  She implied that if I was going to release, I had to do it myself under the towel.  I quickly cleaned up and left feeling worse then I had ever felt in my entire life at the cost of $80 to get in and $880 for what ever it was called.

The reason I'm posting this is because Im honestly afraid.  Im afraid of spending my hard earned money to feel like that again.  I wish I could tell you how horrible I felt.  Has this happened to anyone before?  How do I rebound from it?  Should I stay in the hobby?  Whats my odds of this happening again?

Please help!

If your instincts aren't any better then that, you better find a new hobby.

I'm sorry, that this has happened to you!

If you do your homework and check reviews on TER, this shouldn't happen here.

Almost the exact same thing happened to me once.  It happened early one afternoon at a strip club near Broadway in Manhattan.  It was the first time I'd ever been to a strip club and I'll admit that I was more than a little green.  I was under the impression that the private rooms were for fu*king, and so I eagerly accepted when this hot Latina chick invited me to have a "dance" with her.  To make a long story short, I ended up withdrawing hundreds of dollars from the ATM machine and then we proceeded to the back room together.  

After I paid her, she told me to sit down and make myself comfortable (that was a joke; the room was about 2 ft x 4 ft!).  Then she had the nerve to leave the room for over ten minutes.  I finally got impatient enough to leave the room and track her down, only to find her eating lunch at the bar!  After a while, she managed to persuade me to return to the room and wait for her.  Tingling with anticipation, I quickly disrobed.  As soon as she came back to the room and saw that I was naked, she screamed and ran back out of the room.  I didn't even worry about the money -- I just put my clothes on and ran, worrying that the bouncers would show up any minute.  

In retrospect, I do understand why she didn't f*ck me.  I just wish she had been a little more understanding of a guy who wasn't aware of the rules.  But when this happens with providers, I think that it's just inexcusable.  We know they're here to f*ck us.  They know they're here to f*ck us.  Hell, every f*cking body knows they're here to f*ck us!  Is it too much to ask for people to just do their jobs?

but I can't get behind the flame of 1woody above.  

We guys all step out into the netherlands of ROB's every once in a while.  Lets face it, every reviewed lady on these boards had a first review.  Same for the AMP's.  Sure, nevami1 feels dumb, but how many of us can say that we've done everything wisely when it comes to to our sexual gratifications?

I think that some retaliation is in order.  I would love to read about a bust.  Some never ending plubming problems, even persistant pizza orders or something.  I think that bitch needs to accidentally sit in some crazy glue or something.

"The reason I'm posting this is because Im honestly afraid."

Not as afraid as she was.  Look at it from the girl's point of view.

You were willing to pay a totally unfair amount to her for the FS.  You were willing to pay a totally unfair amount to the ATM owner (the house).  One of the basic rules of life is: if something looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

Only someone working for government, spending other peoples' money, could care so little about being so gratuitously and blatantly ripped off.  OF COURSE you got lousy service.

"what do you think I am, a prostitute?"

And I bet she said it with as much offended indignation as possible.  Wouldn't want the jury, listening to the tape, to get the wrong impression.

At the least information, on this little scam should be posted on every appropriate board. Maybe that will put them out of business. At the very least it will provide a valuable service in the area.

I hope you are serious because we at TER take our hobby very serious however one thousand for a massage i have to wonder.If your post is correct YOU GOT RIPPED OFF BIG TIME even with the eight hundred.Please take some time off join TER and read reviews for your area and check prices,also read boards for your area.There are some very fine providers out there and you can find them on TER.

These are good stories.  Not every date is a smashing success but I think over time and reading stories like this, our instincts improve.

Okay I do appoligise for the flame posted above but $1000. Come on.I dont care if it's mink lined, it isn't worth that.I agree that we have all made mistakes and that is why TER is such a valuable tool and I do appreciate it.I have been in the hobby for longer than I care to admit and only a member here for a short while.Please excuse my insensitivity in the first post.Mabey I have just been luckier than most.

Unfortunately this happens much more than most will admit.  I was taken like that in Chicago.  There are three places all connected that run the same scam.  A small entry fee for a massage then the offer of the VIP room.  They tell you you will get up to three acts in the VIP room but when you get there the story changes.  Unfortunatly for the hobbist the girls on those sites are very very attractive.  How ever TER is a sanctuary for finding the correct provider.  Even though it too can be sometimes misleading.  My bad experience cost me $$$$$$ plus the entry of 80 bucks.  Chalk it up as a valuable lesson and follow the review rule and you will be fine most of the time.

When I first thought of relocating here(vegas) I was just finishing up Grad school..last May..I was worried I would not be busy..as busy as i was in Boston..so I contacted a few agencies and Brothels..just to see..well after talking to the people there..hearing how they did things..I asked upon hearing that the amount they told the client FS would cost,was not the true cost..I asked "well could I not scam people and just tell them the real cost upfront?No they said..thats not how things are done in Vegas...they said,luckily I decieded i could not do that..that was not my style.I thought I would have to actually use my Master's and work a 9-5 because i may not do well here,I stress about work.I lose sleep if I miss an apt..because sometimes..the client is stopping in Vegas just to see me..Vegas has been better (for me )than I ever thought it could be......I could not knowingly lie and decieve people on a daily basis..and look in the mirror..I dont know how people do it..others say"I am not as busy as you,I have to" yeah ok..ever hear of Karma...I do very well..why..because I treat people the right way.this does not really answer your question..but for some reason some people do whatever they can to get over on someone today,,rather than set a standard for people to come back tommorrow and the next day and the next..you should treat this bussiness as you would any other cash bussiness..if a car dealer told you here is an ATM..take out $1000 and its yours..you would report them and leave thinking they are nuts..why would you allow a scantily dressed female to get over on you...?

use ter as a research tool. see girls with reviews by ter veterans ( more than 3 reviews).

the ONLY way to go is with independents.

Bless you...and glad to hear you're doing well.
(damn, I can't wait for my next trip to Vegas)

This is the exact same place I got ripped off.  Three seperate locates with the same name.  They even had a roadside billboard with their number and a picture of one of the girls.  Yes, I am a newbie at this hobby, but everyone has to start out somewhere, I just started out on the wrong foot

You asked:  "why would you allow a scantily dressed female to get over on you...?"

I don't know if you're addressing me or Nevam, but the answer for me is "because I have a cock!"  It makes you do stupid things, like spend a fortune on "scantily dressed females."  I don't know about anyone else's cocks (and don't really want to), but that's how it goes with me.  You try having a cock for just one day, and you'll be amazed at the trouble it'll get you into, and the stupid sh*t it'll make you do.  Frankly, it works alot better than my brain does, and my best guess is that most guys will second that thought.  LOL

a man sitting behind the wheel, and his weiner driving the car for him! LOL Is this what our upcomings years are going to look like? I shall hope not! I don't want a d*ck driving. I want an actual man using his big brain, directing his hands and feet on how to operate the car. We would live in a sad world if the d*ck actually starts to talk for the man.

Have any of us ever spent money we wish we hadn't?  Uhhh.. yes.  All the time.  Never on the hobby fortunately, but other things.

Look at it this way, you learned a valuable lesson and if it's the worse thing that ever happens to you you'll have had a very good life indeed.

Don't dwell on it, just learn and move on.

yes sometimes we have to learn the HARD way and it hurts but keep your D*** up and look for the good girls on ter and we will never do something like that. i also hate when i have talked to another provider and she says i hate the sex but love the money. i just say then you need to get out of the biz, because it is not right to use the guys for that. u guys play tricks on us sometimes. like this.say our rate is $***.** a hour so u go out to dinner and go back to have fun and yes u spend more then a hour because u like the fun but when u leave u look and he has only paided of one hour. so forget about the other 2 or 3 you spent with them. so u can say we get ripped off also. and that makes me so mad. or u let the person slide and just to have someone take you out for dinner u say i won't charge u for the dinner date just the one hour. so now he thinks he is special and he says oh i like u and then u get home and he didn't even pay u for only the one hour. ok can u tell i'm mad???sorry

...sometimes we just think with the wrong head...

The problem with your post is that you gotta name names...  There are a couple of ripoff joints like this in the Chicago Burbs.. Lake Street/ Lake Street 2/ Spa 64.  The typically have fairly hot white chicks (as opposed to your typical AMP that has Asian employees).  I didn't go, but I had friends that tried them all (wanted a change from the local AMPS)  Same deal.. small fee for the massage that they advertise..then its an upsell to the VIP room where they kind of promise you some sex..at this place it was around $400 and yes they had a cash machine.... you get in the back and you cant touch the chick and if you want to have any fun, its self service only... Then if you actually want more, some dude shows up and tosses you out on your ass...after being in there for like 5 minutes..

 We have gone on to learn about escort services... this website is great.. keep up the good work..
