So how do I start this. Well right up front, I’m taking full responsibility for my loss in this situation. I broke a major rule of the game and this is the result. The backstory. I contacted InkedNerdyGirly a while back to set up an appointment. I was very cordial and offered up my information like she requested. Her TCB was lacking, unlike many of her reviews had noted. I gave her my references and she did not follow back up with me. I sent her a message after a few days and she finally said I had been verified after I asked her. Now that should have been a red flag. We set up a date to meet and she suggested a time. Perfect.
The day arrives and I follow up with her asking if we were still on, she replies with a simple “Yes”. I send a text that I’m on my way, followed by another saying that I’m in the area, and several more after our set time had passed. I sent a message saying that I’ll call at the 30 min mark again to allow for any issues that may have arisen. I then try to call again and it’s going straight to voicemail. I send an iMessage and now it’s not showing “delivered” as they were previously. This confirms my suspicion that she has now blocked my number.
The problem here is that when we set up our date she asked for a 25.00 dollar deposit via PayPal. I said that if she accepted PayPal, I could send the full payment that way. I was not clear in my delivery, I meant that I could pay her the day of our appointment in that way. Either way, she asked for full payment up front, and I obliged. I know, rookie mistake. From her reviews she looked promising and to be a stand up gal. Unfortunately for me I’m out 300.00 with no explanation. Beware gents.
