So I’ve been running into a lot of people clients trying to book me but they live a state or two away. I ask them for a simple donation of $50 to insure that the booking is legit and not a waste of time and fake. I’ve gotten replies like, “I don’t send deposits anymore because I’ve been burnt too many times by previous guys who never showed up and just took my money” or “ I don’t feel comfortable sending money to someone I haven’t met yet.” I get it, but why should I be punished for other people’s miscues and their issues with other people that doesn’t involve me? If they were in my position they would ask the same thing. I mean who would drive states away without some kind of instance policy to make the appointment secure. Not to mention the travel costs. Am I doing something wrong by asking a client to put up $50 to make it legit? Can someone help me understand this….

Cash transfer services have made it much easier to send someone cash - and has increase scams. A lot of this was learned "the hard way" but I have come up with various policies toward escort deposits that may prevent someone out there from losing money.
1) There is no reason for a deposit for same-day or even next day appointments - especially for an escort who is local.
2) New escorts with no reviews (or no recent reviews or photos) should not receive deposits unless there is a face-to-face video call beforehand.
3) No deposit should be sent unless the escort sends his full legal name.
4) Pre-appointment deposits should not exceed 20% or $500 - whatever is less. When the deposit is sent, it should include a note that no additional deposit is available.
5)  If you are furnishing transportation, that is considered part of the deposit.
6) "Emergency" requests for pre-appointment money should be denied. Doesn't the escort have other resources that a client they have never met or only met once.
7) Negotiations for deposits should be done on the Escort site (Rentmen or whatever) if at all possible. If the client suspects a scam, the escort should be reported to the site - as well as to the cash transfer service. 

Any additional thoughts on this?
