Have you got a successful appointment with deposit?

I read multiple replies on eccie saying that deposit prior to meeting is a scam. I wonder if anyone has a successful encounter with a deposit.

Yes. Sometimes. That being said:

DON'T
EVER
PAY

DEPOSIT
YOU
AREN'T

LOSING.

Got it?

Also, electronic payments are tracked forever, so enjoy that too.

I have a few times, but I have been burned countless times.

The chances of having a BCD session after paying a deposit or prepay is greatly reduced by how new the provider is to the business while the chances of a session taking place is better depending on the longevity of the provider being a provider. If a provider scams, she does not last long.

With that in mind, there is no guarantee that a provider will see you after you pay a deposit no matter who she is, so my advice is to never pay one, even if it is just a dollar.

There are too many ladies out there who do not charge deposits, no drama on/off the boards and who want to have regulars, go with those ladies.

I generally agree with what WEC said, particularly the first paragraph. The only thing I’ll add is that I might recommend it to a newbie who has little history for a lady to rely upon when agreeing to a date, particularly if she is highly sought after or you are requesting an outcall.

The better bet if you are going to be active in this hobby is to subscribe to P411 and see a few providers there to get some OKs under your belt. Once you are seen as reliable, you should have no problem setting dates with quality ladies…the remainder are either scams or too lazy to do proper screening (and why pay to see ladies who aren’t willing to invest some time screening you if the information they need is out there?).
Unfortunately, so many no no-shows or fake bookings have made me require a deposit for all new meetings. I even had to ask a deposit from a regular because we haven’t met in years. It’s astounding how many gentlemen will not want to honor a cancellation fee .

If I have to cancel on my end, I do return the deposit. That’s only happened with the bad weather in the springtime though.

If an incall I never pay a deposit, if asking an outcall I pay the deposit or send an Uber Gift Card......it's amazing how many Providers do not drive, own a car, or even have a License that is valid.

If a guy is a newbie with nothing but a few Listcrawler References you better be prepared to send a deposit. Chances are that if a newbie you will get ghosted even with the deposit.
