Just a little about monger paying upfront for room or holding collateral
About fall 1984 I met a girl in a club's parking lot who was a couple steps above me in the looks department. She asked me for $20 for cover, a couple drinks, and to meet a friend waiting inside who owed her $50.
She left me her purse with wallet as collateral. She never returned. Next day I looked in the purse, it wasn't hers. I returned it to the owner and described the thief to her. She said she was a notorious crack-head, and lost her purse at a diner.
I never let this happen again.
Also, I've had several "escorts" ask me for money to get a room. I always said no. Don't fall for it!
Caution - Scammers at Work
#1: Definite: [URL]https://indianapolis.rubratings.com/160429[/URL].
#2: Probable: [URL]https://indianapolis.rubratings.com/160550[/URL].

First, all four requested payment by cash app in advance, to which I staunchly refused. Then one of them suggested a gift card. Eventually, all four agreed that a gift card of some sort would be acceptable.
#1 agreed to meet today. Before showing up, she requested a copy of the front and back of the gift card. I refused, knowing (and that is the real sad part) that she would take the money and run. Once en route to the location, an apartment complex on the west side, she started asking, nay begging for the picture of the front and back of the card. She gave a sob story about her friend and the cops, etc. Etc. After about an hour, I left without having given her the information she requested. While on the way to an AMP, she begged another chance. I caved. I eventually caved provided pics of the card. She then played with me for another half hour "getting ready" before I received confirmation that the card had a zero balance. During the texting, she sent a couple of pics that were the same girl as in the ad. , leading me to believe she was the real deal. It's not so much the money involved, but the fact that I knew better and let the wrong head make the decision. Damn!
#2 has the same text description as #1.
#3 gave me the same address as #1, only a couple of days before.
#2 and #4 both had agreed to meets and both went ghost on me at the agreed upon time.
Yes, I got sapped. I was just stupid today. Don't let it happen to you.
Don't Beat Yourself Up Too Hard
[QUOTE=Fav6977;4646421]I was just stupid today. Don't let it happen to you.[/QUOTE]If you hobby long enough, even if you're careful, it happens to most of us. The prepayment scam is just a new wrinkle. Whether it's a cash & dash, a bait-and-switch, the thug that comes out of the backroom, the boyfriend that comes home unexpectedly, or just lousy service, sometimes you're not going to get what you're paying for.
As you said, learn from it and try not to do it again.

You text her and she gives you a story about why she needs you to send her money before hanging out. She claims it's her boyfriend using her pics to scam people. I've seen other negative reports about her but just wanted to make sure we all were updated on her or her boyfriend. Don't waste your time, she claims her boyfriend has scammed over 2 k from people.
Kari thin brunette on East Washington
I posted this in Street Walker reports also.
While running errands I found myself on the Eastside of town. Motoring along on the presidential street I saw a decent looking lady (from a distance) waving at me. Realizing that I had a few extra minutes I decided to loop around and see what was up. The closer she got to my vehicle the more she went from decent to ugly. Her small frame and brunette bob hair-do make her appealing from afar. Knowing she would be face down in my lap I allowed her in. On the way to a parking spot she said her name was Keri. We negotiate plus she wanted a tip for a job well done. After she received her money it all went downhill, she started complaining about everything. I'll skip those details. After complaining that I was taking too long she sat up in the seat and said "I'm done". I have been in this situation before and just want rid of her as soon as possible. Cut my losses. I told her to get the fuck out she returned with I want my tip. She's not getting a tip for less than 10 minutes of work with complaining and without completing the job. I got rid of her without giving her the tip. Don't pick her up save yourself the money and time.
Another reason to use burner number
[QUOTE=IndyGuyGuy;5409960]Had similar scenario 5 years ago, I use a secondary phone now. I did change my number but I should have hung on to it, just block the number, they won't follow through. There are so many scams nobody, including your wife will believe.[/QUOTE]Don't ever use your real cellphone number. TextFree App is a good alternative.
