Posted November 1, 2021 Is paying deposits via Venmo and Cashapp prior to a visit a legit thing now? Or is it a scam? A few providers has requested deposits. I won't do it. Should I? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 12, 2021 It would be ok if she was a regular on TOB. Otherwise I wouldn’t chance it. I did fall victim twice to what I though was really legitimate gals. They were not. Deposit lost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 12, 2021 When I tried to set up a Venmo account my credit card was hacked. No deposits for me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I have had to return a couple deposits due to myself not being able to keep appointment and clients are really shocked. I have had guys who refuse to do and I have had others send the ENTIRE donation days in advance. Also, the max I take is 25$. I feel that is a reasonable amount...If I get a flake/NS than I require a deposit to book me again in the future Edited November 13, 2021 by Jenna_James 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2021 If a provider feels a deposit is necessary then so be it. I have paid deposits after doing enough research to know it wasn’t a rob. I prefer an online pay system that allows visa gift cards so as to minimize the footprint. I’ve only encountered one instance where the mgr didn’t take place but the provider reached out prior and offered a plethora of rescheduling options. All good. I see both sides though. The hobby upside is there is plenty to choose from on both sides of this equation - so a good time is still had by all regardless of your position on the matter. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) I guess maybe if I knew the provider previously, I would. But there have been so many horror stories about the deposit thing. Maybe one positive experience for every 20 negative ones. There is no downside for the provider, Ive noticed. But many for the hobbyists. Apart from just straight up getting your money robbed from you. There is also the risk of LE sting operations using the deposit as corroborating evidence against you in court. To me its just not worth the risk ladies. I hope you understand. Sorry. There are too many beautiful options out there with much less risk before taking that leap. The hobby is getting weirder and weirder. First, the no AA thing and now this. I dont get it. Edited November 16, 2021 by amahumanbean 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You asked if she was a provider? THAT is what I quoted and responded to. Whether you book her or give a deposit is your choice. Opinions aren't requirements.

Posted November 22, 2021 I agree. If the provider is reputable and she asks for a deposit, then respect her policies. If you are on the fence and the provider is unknown, then you may want to re think. I require a deposit for all new clients. If they do not wish to send one, then I respect their decision and decline an appointment with them. I am sure we all have been burned in one way or another, which leads to some providers requesting more security measures for scheduling. If a clients refuses, then that is their right and perfectly fine. I personally will not book without a deposit as my schedule is extremely limited and one no call no show or last minute cancelation really affects me as I could of scheduled something else. I am not favoring any side here, sometimes clients do not realize how it affects some providers schedules as we may not know how sending a deposit can affect them. So...to each their own. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 3, 2021 I had a guy make a 50% deposit for a 2 hour appt because he had canceled 6 of the last 8appts he had booked. He paid the deposit and guess what, canceled the 2 hour appt one hour before the session. That is why deposits! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
