[QUOTE=Xmc13;4637325]Hey all,
First time poster long time lurker here. Just curious what's with all these providers asking for a "deposit" via some sort of app or another? Seems like a good way to get scammed to me. I have seen a few providers and have never once paid a deposit. Idk just doesn't seem like a good idea to send some random chick money hoping she makes good on it down the road. Anybody had any luck with these?[/QUOTE]Of course requesting deposits, money for an Uber, etc etc are almost always a scam. No shows on the part of the guy or the provider are all too common but are a reality of the business. Only place I can really see personally much of a legit reason is with travelling higher cost providers who are committing to pre booking and might even only be coming here because of one or two guys. If flying in from Chicago there I can see legitimacy of asking for deposit, and probably only for non regulars. Beyond that, if you give a deposit and inevitably get burned, just consider it as money spent for some education LOL.
