I probably have some strikes against me for walking away because things didn't feel right, don't care and I'll take the blacklist over jailtime.
1. Agency in DC would often use 2-3 hotels for incalls. I showed up to one and did my usual drive around the block and hotel and alley. There was an entire SWAT team gearing up behind the hotel. I kept driving and then texted the booker about it. They said, no its ok come back. I didn't and got blacklisted by a few agencies in DC
2. I try to stay away from hotel incalls in general. Showed up to one in Dallas and they had me waiting outside for way to long. Then gave me the room number and as I was in the elevator get another text saying, no not that room come to this room. Got TF out of there and ended up getting threatening text messages.
3. FBSM ad back in the day for HJJ in Houston. Girl was hyped as from Brazil here visiting. Show up and she speaks perfect english and didn't look like she would be working there. When I asked her a simple question in Portugese she didn't understand a word I said. Gave her $100 and walked out.
So net-net, check your surroundings, trust your gut and think with your big head.

I've never bailed because I've suspected cops. Maybe I'm just lucky.
