Saturday I tried booking a massage with Becky and she wanted me to prepay with iTunes cards. Buy a iTunes card and text her the back of the cards. Is this normal or not?

Cash is king..no prepayment unless she's with a well reputable agency like touring companions or such.

Same thing happened with me. Lots of odd behavior, way too many texts.  Read her reviews and there was never any mention of itunes cards. I got a real bad vibe and backed out.  I'd like to hear the opinion of some of the providers regarding these types of payment requests.

Joenam..here's another scam..ladies will post ads on city vibe, erotic monkey, escort cafe. Then when you try to setup a date they'll give you a site link to enroll in at 24.95..tell you they've gotta see you first on their sex cam site. Because, that's there way of verification of you..lol so you follow through their instructions only to never see them on the cam site. And now you're stuck trying to remove your monthly payments..lol. get yourself verified, p411, r2sk, meet ladies through there.. simple, setup your date. Bring cash in a envelope. Plus tip..anything other way these woman want you to pay is bullshit..

I don't know any well reviewed gal who insists on prepayment unless it is a LONG date or traveling, and even then, she'll ask for some.

Itunes? What sort of payment is that? Geez. She did that so you can't trace her RL name and have it blow up in her face when she scammed you. At least with the ones who want a deposit, they will have you send it in a way that will still come back to them if you got ripped of.

You pay when you are both in the room with each other. Please don't allow scammers to take advantage of you.  

I am going to Appleton/Green Bay mid May and I am not insisting that guys prepay me. I have said that in order for me to go to Wausau I would need some sort of a deposit but that is mainly because of the drive and not knowing how well I would do out there. I have been around long enough that guys know they can trust me as I have never been known to play games or do things half-assed. I am pretty big on honesty.

Um no, not normal. I take deposits for certain appointments but it's with a normal form of currency (cash, credit).

As hell about that. While I don't beleive any of my reviews state that I allow prepay, I do. Which that, I've never asked for anything I've 50% of the booking fee, and never via iTunes. there are more than enough way for a girl to stay with the "cash is king" mantra, but still take some electronic payments. As Alexandra noted, I wouldn't expect a deposit be paid unless it requires travel (fore that's an mandatory overnight, or 3 hour booking if I'm within 3 hours of the intended outcall), or multi hour sessions.  

Even in those cases, it's only limited to people I haven't see before in order to weed out time wasters that'll have you drive forever to never see you.

On the other side of all of that, I'd say roughly 1/4 of my current client base prepays appointments. It's a lot easier because of lack of ATM fees,along trips to the bank for large dollar amounts, a fair tee they end up on my limited schedule of appointments, and personal safety while traveling with large sums of cash. I also have one of my alternative income streams set up in such a way that my fee is then tax deductible as a marketing/advertising expense (invoices and all) for those that have play money built into their own companies.

Finally, I do have two clients that prepay an entire months worth of bookings when I'm back here in WI (they see me weekly) because it's just easier making one electronic transaction instead of 4-6 trips to the bank for stacks of cash.

I think a lot of it come down to the provider, as well as your own personal comfort level with it. If she's not willing to spend the time to pit your mind at ease with it, or if it gets overly complicated, just insist on cash. Drawback is that if she's working on first-come-first-served basis, you may end up with a stack of money and some blue balls.
