They will go after this guy with guesto. One county might even up his picture on backpage.

Other than the money gone (that is awful), I hope you are okay!  

Take care and I hope your week gets much better...

Sorry to hear about this.  Take care of yourself.  Don't report it, they would treat you as the criminal instead of the jerk.

Dear Adele,

I'm so terribly and deeply sorry that this happened to you. While it sucks that you're without the money, the bottom line is that your physical health is still intact, and he did not cause you any bodily harm or injury; however, your emotional well-being might need some serious healing in the aftermath of this traumatic event. My heart truly goes out to you, Adele.

One person posted that you should file a police report; yet another said you should not. I could certainly play devil's advocate for both parties' opinions, but it is the safety, protection, and preservation of your identity associated with your present and future avocation that matters the most.  

I'm wondering if you know anything about the background of the attorney / client who robbed you and the specific area of litigation that he represents.

If he is a criminal defense attorney, one might consider pressing charges. Most District Attorneys are more than happy to go up against the very banes of "lawyerly" existence who are defending the scum of the earth of whom the D.A.'s are trying to prosecute.  

But I have worked on the periphery of the law for many years now in my accounting and paralegal duties for a criminal defense attorney, and I no longer believe in our judicial system after some of the things I have witnessed.

Methinks the best revenge you can proffer is just what you did, Adele: let the ladies know the contact information of this person, and blacklist him on any and every imaginable site possible.  

I will be e-mailing you shortly for the details.  

Adele, please be well, stay safe, and, most importantly, try to remain positive.  

Sending you big hugs....

Ashleigh Ryan  xoxo

This seems crazy.. I'm more or less new here. Looking at hobbyist/provider as a community of like mind ppl. This individual need to exposed and expelled from our community. Robbery can't be tolerated. He needs 2 have something taken from him.  

END OF MESSAGE

It sounds like he knows too well that your options are limited when this happens.  How awful!!   But spreading the word within the hobby community will at least help in some small way.   This is just sick!

I am so sorry that happened to you. And from a lawyer!!!! That is just crazy. That's why I prefer to do outs in D.C. Between the thugs, robbers, and police stings, D.C  is just really changing. I did email you for the info though. Stay safe sweetie.

I am okay, I was just like a zombie last night when I got home.  
Hugs to everyone,
Adele

The thief just contacted me and we are supposed to meet ..... in a very public place and he will give me back what he stole from me. Hopefully, I can just move forward and forget about it.  
Hugs,
Adele

Be careful and if possible don't go alone. Even if u have your friend sit at a separate table. Now he sounds really shady...don't trust his agenda.

Write us back to let us know that your safe and without harm. I apologize that this happened to you.

Like so many of the other posts in response to what happened, I am deeply sorry to hear that this happened to you and am glad to hear you are ok.  I also agree with the others who have posted that you should not go to this meeting alone.  Have a friend with you and make sure the individual you are meeting knows it so he will know in advance not to try anything foolish.

Thank you all so much for your support. Yes you are absolutely right. I will have a friend with me. When he called me this morning he suggested a shopping center later on this evening. That shopping center is totally dead at night. We are supposed to meet tomorrow morning and I won't go alone, and will let him know that someone will be there at the same time than me. Hugs,
Adele

Im so sorry this happened to you in DC of all places with a lawyer! . Well lawyers and DC ...That could explain it for sure but may I add my concern about meeting this creep.  
Are you saying he called you offering to return the stolen items out of a change of heart? My God..that happens on TV but not in real life among strangers Adele.....  
Hope your friend with you is a big guy..lol..Please be careful..There are genuinely bad people out there...
Best wishes to you and hope you get through this okay and also not completely turned of by DC as a result

It's not true that you will automatically be treated like a criminal instead of the jerk.  I have personal knowledge of a case in which the provider was promised immunity if she would be willing to testify.  However, she feared reprisal from the jerk and backed off.  You could make an anonymous phone call to LE, report the crime and see what they offer.  They are much more interested in catching jerks than punishing ladies, in most cases.  But it's the victim's call.

I am sorry to hear about this, hope you are ok, think the advice about not going alone is really smart.

Was this someone that had been screened?

This is very strange.  Be safe.
Would be nice if you could have him send it to you somehow instead (while still protecting your identity).

This guy is up to no good.  He's pissed that you've outed him, and he knows it.  I'm betting he is a member on this board.

I would make the cheap bastard buy a newspaper and put the envelope at the very bottom, underneath the last newspaper in the box.  Then have your friend pick it up.  At least if he stiffs you, the butthead is out a .50 cents which will drive him nuts

If you need someone to go with I'm.willing.  

wont do much, for reason for cops to bust her.

Check out what Montgomery county police does.  You can see their ads on backpage looking for escort robbers.  Its a crime and they pull out all stops to get the criminals. They even go after providers who bait and switch and put guys on dns if they don't pay. Check out backpage.
