I've started seeing more notices from ladies, via a variety of platforms, that one or more of their advertising accounts have been hacked and don't send deposits to their ads. This goes hand in hand with the fake accounts being set up in their name.
I realize the nogoodniks are looking for a cheap way to make a buck.
In general I struggle with providing a deposit as I'm a long time member of P411. Once upon a time it was the gold standard for screening.
I'm interested in hearing why or why not to support providing a deposit.

I think it become more problematic if a legit girl is known for honoring and handling deposits in an honest manner, then someone somehow manages to hack her account then she gets a bad rep because people don't know it was the hacker who was doing the stealing.
One thing to look for... while this doesn't apply to everyone, most criminals are impatient bastards. If you schedule an appointment multiple days in advance, and are communicating with the person over the course of a few days, with possible calendar updates and small talk, if it's a criminal he's likely not going to want to carry on the scam that long. He will likely demand the money up front and very quickly at the start of the conversation, and if you refuse he will move on to the next target, rather than spending days trying over and over again to convince you he is legit.
Most honest business women are willing to put in a bit of effort to secure their business, and want you to feel comfortable. If someone starts freaking out at the start of the conversation because you don't send money right away, that's a huge red flag.
