I will third (or 300th) this
[QUOTE=Leon3798;4816313]Agreed, the moment they start talking about a deposit I block and delete the convo. No point in continuing.[/QUOTE]Don't pay a deposit. Just don't. I thought I never would until an ad from ENC STG the other day. The girl seemed legit, she has been posting every so often for a few months, in texting her story added up, we talked for a couple days first, she had pics, etc. She was only requesting deposit for traveling and she did offer carplay from her place. Because I was requesting she come see me out of the area, she requested some gas money and I felt this was acceptable and legit. Communicative even after the transaction, said she was on the way, we agreed to talk when she was off the interstate and meet up the road, etc. Ghosted after that and incommunicado since. Called and it was a textfree # with no vm, etc.
The lesson is even with what is very likely a legit ad from a person who is not doing this to scam people, the likelihood that someone would rather skate with your $20 or $40 or whatever and just do that to 10 guys 10 times a day, versus actually having to fuck 4 guys, 1 of which may be a worthwhile investment and become an easy regular who treats them right and that they can learn from in life, is just too real. Anyone in a desperate situation, not even a drug addict, is not thinking clearly AT BEST, and is short sighted and will take a dollar here and 5 dollars there wherever they can get it and run to the next dollar to fix this hour's problem without worrying about tomorrow.
