Cashapp advances

Has anyone noticed there is an increased amount of providers asking for cashapp advances on payments. Like half of the payment on cashapp to secure appointments or verify or whatever? I haven’t done it yet but it seems suspicious to me. Hobbyists what do y’all think? Ladies, what are your thoughts and opinions on this practice?

Deposits can be ifyyyy... usually a scam
The only time I require a deposit is for long distance travel. Just so incase anything goes wrong my travel is covered.

Buyer beware and cautious... not all are scam but most are...

A common scam. You will never see her or that money again.
Oh. I’m definitely sure it’s a scam. I was just wondering if anyone had noticed how frequent of an occurrence it’s becoming. Like. Every new girl I’ve tried to see lately has asked for it and I’m just like uhhh No.
Never pay deposits or sign up for premium anything just for a meetup

Like Winter said its iffy... If its a well known provider probably ok... But if not be careful.... I ask for like a 25 to 100 deposit for travel depending how far you are.. Because I dont want to waist my time and gas if someting happens.
Note that I do know a few ladies that do require a deposit but they also make it known up front..

There has been a huge increase in scammers on both sides. I require a deposit if I'm getting a room or driving outside of El Paso. That way I'm not losing money if they're a flake. But I wonder about people who are brand new wanting deposits. Ladies who are established wouldn't risk their reputation over such a small amounts of money

I stay away from anyone who wants to receive compensation in advance. Any provider asking to be paid in advance is high risk in my opinion. The only time, I have paid in advance is when setting a date with a provider I have seen numerous time. I have done to help providers pay for a room or pay for a Uber to come to see me. I recommend staying distant from such providers because of the high risk of being scammed.
Many of the ads wanting a deposit are not from the area they are from North Carolina or Virginia or California and they placed an ad in our area. SCAM

No problems whatsoever with doing it, as long as the provider is legit, and has a good track record.
