I just read a review from a member in OC/CA where he was pretty much robbed from a "verified" provider. Folks, we are in desperate times and you may want to consider if you really want to "take one for the team" with someone who has zero reviews from credible members and pics that are too good to be true. I'm sure there is more of this going on but many people feel too ashamed or dazed to post let alone notify the police after an encounter with a ROB. I know some mongers are adrenaline junkies, but this "state of mind" will stop you from listening to your gut instincts and get you into trouble.

... which is what you are doing by not stating her name. Thanks for nothing.

Good point, I figured by disclosing the location in my post, people would be able to make an identity by reading the review (TER ID: 356454). With that said, however, my intent was not to expose a ROB (that's what the review is for) but to expose the dangers that are out there which are real.

If you don't have reliable information from here, at least be outside when you meet the girl.  Two against one.  Lucky to get out that easy.

Very lucky. Here is another one (TER ID: 356588) which we all should remember-never prepay anything. Dangerous to your wallet. About being outside before meeting. Many, many years ago I met up with a provider in Long Beach. I entered the apartment, got comfortable, and then the "boyfriend" entered the front door who was obviously the enforcer. I saw it for what it was and left as quickly as possible.

There's a nest of rats operating together that have been doing this in various methods for years

It's funny you say that...the only times I've ever encountered ROBs were in Long Beach, CA!!  Yes, that place is to be avoided.

I once had a provider in Long Beach come to see me by the name Vivi. Cambodian/Chinese mix. I have to say her pics on eros were totally accurate, but she was even more pretty and feminine in person! I thought this was gonna be great. Turned out frustrating and disappointing to say the least. Every single thing I asked, many quite simple and innocent, answer was "no".
I just wanted to share when I saw the "Avoid Long Beach" subject - just more bad news out of that place!

LB has the largest Cambodian population outside of Cambodia and infiltrated with terrible, violent gang activity (I used to live in LB). Not surprised you were scammed. Another issue that I think makes LB a place to avoid when it comes to "the hobby" is the amount of public/section 8 housing in that city where crime is known to fester....I'm sure old-school pimps are alive and well in LB.

Those pictures that scammer is using are of Shiri Allwood, and she doesn't escort.

Thanks for pointing that out. Also, If you look closely, the provider claims to be "Hispanic/Latin" but to my eyes does not appear to be so and the pics are very inconsistent almost as if it's more than one person. True story: this week I sent a text to a provider asking for more pics as the ones posted were too photoshopped for my taste. I get a reply back that more pics will cost $50....what!!!  I then reply back that I am ten minutes away and would be interested in a meetup....she did not care...only wanted $50 sent via Zelle or Venmo and if I could not send it I should just "go away"....which is exactly what I did.

Yikes. Reverse image search would have helped with this one, I feel. Right off the bat I knew these pictures were fake (since they're off Shiri Allwood, a rather famous indie trans pornstar who I may or may not follow on ManyVids lol), but seeing this goes to show that TSEscorts really does not verify any provider accounts. I don't even think they have a report function on there any more.

I think i contacted this same girl did she have a bob haircut? I am looking to see if i still have this number...

No bob hair cut. Goes by the name "Samantha" in SF Valley but does travel. No reviews that I am aware of.

It would not surprise me at all if it's either the same person or a roommate situation since they are both in North Hollywood.
