Hi Jarrod,
Not long ago, I hired an escort who was travelling throughout Europe who was complaining about the same, namely to have travelled to specific destinations where potential clients (with whom he had been texting a lot via Hunqz & RentMen) claim to reside ended up ghosting him. Travelling to places and booking hotels/airbnbs can be costly if you dont have the matching income to compensate.
My answer to the escort was that i would not be surprized if at least 50% of the people writing to him were actually never willing to hire but were just looking for the thrill of speaking with a living fantasy (no matter what you think, yes, you embody a fantasy for a lot of people hidden behind their anonymity).
It is nice for you to share your perspective with us because, if i were you, I would feel infuriated. I understand your anger.
As a client, I am also on the lookout for potential scammers, so in a way we have something in common.
Take care.
