How to avoid scams: five common tricks and what to do
141sex-escort · Updated
In one line: a real one-woman flat is paid in person. Anyone who wants a transfer, a gift card or a "guarantee" before you meet is almost certainly a scammer.
1. The deposit scam
"She is busy, pay a deposit to hold the slot" by bank transfer, FPS or game and gift cards. Then comes a "guarantee", then an "unlock fee", until you stop paying and they disappear.
Pay no deposit. One-woman flats, upstairs rooms and spas are paid when you meet.
2. Fake photos
Borrowed photos, a different woman at the door, the same set of photos under several numbers. Look at several photos and the video, read the latest visit reports, and leave politely if she does not match.
3. Fake contacts
A stranger messages you as a "manager" with a new number or a payment link. Use only the Contact button on the site's profile.
4. Price hikes at the door
Agree the length and the services when you book, and ask what is included. The first-timer's guide has the details.
5. Extortion afterwards
A message claiming to have photos or video of you, demanding money. Do not reply, do not pay, keep the messages and go to the police.
