Anytime you have to click to another website and enter information it is always a ruse.  You should NEVER enter credit card info....it always leads to you joining a site without your knowledge.
You must not have been playing this game long because this is one of the older online scams out there.  I'm glad you were able to cancel your card and not have to pay.

Perhaps the folks were a little harsh in their response but in all honesty they are not wrong!

NEVER, EVER under ANY circumstance should you provide your CC for Hobby related pursuits! The fact that you fell for this scam suggests you are either new to this or perhaps just were not thinking... Either way I hope you take this as a VERY important lesson to be learned that people will always take advantage of those who allow it to happen!

Nuff said!

Hey guys TOFTT the other night.

handle is "sweetdcgirl"  email is: mistressbrittany4u@g­mail.com

once you reply via CV she sends you an email:

Hey bby glad u msged me,  I do provide in/out calls. Since I am independent I will only do session at a nearby hotel we agree upon  for first time. I do not meet up at private residence unless you are a long time client.

Since ur not a previous client my only stipulation is u will need 2 screen b4 booking me to make sure ur all good...You can check out my personal page link below to get screened. Also I have more pics there, rates & you can get access to my booking form, i get on cam sometimes interested in that too b4 meeeting. Once screened u will be able to officially book me for in/out or cam.

Any talk of sexual or explicit acts for exchange of anything of value will cause call to end,unanswered txt or end of cam show! We can talk freaky in cam session but no mention of massage or escort in cam room since its monitored.  If you don't like my simple rules move on to someone else..If ur down we will have a good time and u will luv any and everything I do..

So, I hit the link, was sent to another site. http://safensameets.com/britt.html

you know the rest, i (desperately) entered my cc# (thinking it was only for age verification) and ended up subscribing unwillingly to ifriends.com. no prob, i'm thinking, it's 'free'.

so, since then, i tried several times to book britt through the site, and via CV but now no response.
meanwhile, ifriends.com is charging my cc#.

so, calls to hsbc to cancel my card, deny charges and get a new one issued.

sometimes this hobby makes me realize i need to think with my head and not my dick.

good thing some of my old friends are returning to DC. I'm just going to stick with them.

variety may be the spice of life but too much spice gives you heartburn.

Guy

Yeah, I agree 100%.
Ripping the guy for making a mistake is not helping anyone and just plain mean.
It would sure ecourage me not to bother posting situations like this if I was the sucker in the future.
I mean why bother if youre going to get reemed out by a bunch TER insiders all much more clever and smarter than you.

...from the DC board on this topic.  But there are clearly some lessons you've learned in the story you've recounted.  Seems like you've embraced those lessons; hopefully so.  We all do stupid stuff so ignore the judgmental crap from the board.  I can guarantee that everyone who's slamming you here has fucked up in life somewhere as badly or even worse.  Take a step back, deep breath, and move ahead with your new lessons and ISO more reliable spice!  TER reviews rule.  Best of luck!

That probably helps the scam.  If the girl was some fake, air brushed, EROS beauty most people would assume it was fake.  The girl in the ad seems very real because you assume nobody would steal the pictures.  She's chubby, but pretty.  Just doable enough if you're hurting.

Yeah , you really screwed up.  but we all make dumb mistakes now and then. Thanks for at least having the courage to post .  You might be saving someone else from making the same mistake.

Chubby girl in pic makes it look more realistic.

I really don't think an escort message board is a place to expect sympathy when you do something stupid and this qualifies!  

Wow I wouldn't give a girl I "trust" my cc#, let a lone some one I don't know.

to all who have called me a chump....you are all 100% correct. I was clearly thinking with my little head, and not the one on my neck.

1) I posted cause I was a dumb ass, wanted and to 'help' others and basically 'out' the scammer (as if that would happen?)
2) I'm kinda of new, yes (less than 5 yrs).  I'm also not American, I live in Bangkok where fishing is easy, and hobby around the world where the playing field is always changing (asia, diff from central asia, diff from europe, diff from africa). While hobbying this side, I've never had this happen before.  obviously, I should have known it was a scam....just my dumb luck, frustration and not thinking.

which brings me to....
3) you know, it's really hard to get 'street cred' with respectable talent when you don't live here in USA? when I post on boards I don't have lots of comments and it's not often I post, so I'm accused of being LE.......or when I contact providers, they have a hard time verifying me.....anyway, it was that exp that had me doing dumb things.  I had a few providers bail out on the last minute and was horny and desperate (bad combination)

Shame, coz I'm a $500 budget kinda guy.

Lessons learned.....and don't worry. I take no offense for my stupid shit mistake!

as for my taste in women.....well, they come in all shapes and sizes right? and since I get Thai spinners as a regular diet, sometimes I like the buffet  

Happy hunting to all and again, let's have fun....(I'm still having it!)

Now can you hook me up with some of those "Thai Spinners"?

sawasdee krap.
anytime you want to come to land of smiles, pm me.

even if I'm not there, (as I travel monthly) I can make girl-friendly hotel recommendations, and help connect you.
