That's why I don't pay for anything in advance if there's any way around it.  I've heard of this happening a few times with previously reliable people, and it's not worth the risk to me.

This is a class A rip-off situation and it's behavior like that which spoils it for the honest providers.

I know that it is TER policy that you can not write a review of this situation, but you can out her on the local board so that she does not take advantage of anyone else.

By the way, was she well reviewed on here or other sites?

for monies in advance. I chose to give the money to two of the ladies knowing full well that I might never see it again and I was reconciled to that fact. In my case, both ladies fulfilled their commitments.

The reality is this is a problem in life ... not just the Hobby. If you choose to advance money to individuals (sometimes the closest of friends) you take the risk of losing it even though that person maybe well intentioned.

Why do the ladies collect during the session,  instead of letting you pay them the next time you see them? Because they know, most Hobbyist would never pay them or see them again.

I am sorry this happened to you but if you choose to advance money, be reconciled to the fact that there is a very good possibility that you will not see it or the provider again.

Sorry to hear that

Some girls give the rest of us a bad name.  I can't tell you how many horror stories I've heard.

Again, sorry to hear that happened to you.

Be Safe, Have Fun!

Smooches,

I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. I agree with Mr. Fisher that you should out her, but if my understanding of reviews is correct though, you CAN write a review, since money WAS exchanged. Just label it with a BIG OLD "RIPOFF" warning. She has certainly earned the label.

and it's behavior like that which spoils it for the honest providers.

Amen to that.

Sorry to hear of your bad experience. You got screwed over, plain and simple,and this lady is a complete and total douche bag for doing this. But you seem to be taking it much better than most guys would. Providers like this wreck it for legit ladies. I've never given a deposit and never will.

IMO though, this is also an indication of the general state of the hobby these days.  The percentage of frauds, phonies, fake pictures, etc.. has risen so much over the last couple years. The hobby is a buyer beware state more so now than it's ever been.

Why these woman would bite the hands that feed them is beyond me.  They are making a killing financially in this business. Most of them couldn't hold a real job if their life depended on it, and this business allows them to drive luxury cars, buy homes & their big plasma TV's, etc.. yet they do this type crap to the very people that pay their bills.  Even the more reputable providers, while they aren't thieves by any means, really do not have any true sense of appreciation or even respect for the guys that keep them from a career stocking shelves at WalMart.    

Baffling.

From an referral service perspective...

Sorry to "hear of your loss" raysoflight.

I have had a lady who posts on TER no pay me for services rendered.  She's the first in 10 years.

Another posted here placed it right; if you're making 300+ an hour why is it so hard to pay back what you owe?  

If she needed the money, all she had to do was ask to pay it back at a later time because she needed it for whatever reason.

But being nice day after day not returning phone calls or emails is childish.  

...And she told ME to grow up.  Go figure...
