I booked, confirmed, paid for a 2 hr session with CrossTodd for $400. He then said there was a $100 gas fee. Mind you, he was less than 2 miles from my location in the city, and was about a 10 min drive.
I jokingly said, "Are you bringing a plus 1 to the party? lol" and even stated within 2 mins of that joke, "I was just kidding about a plus one." Next thing, he is demanding I send $300 so his "friend" can come. I really had no interest, and meant it as a joke. He hounded several more times to send $300 more for his "friend."
He texted me at 11:15am Tuesday, Nov 12, 2024, "Can I be on my way?" to come over to my location. I tell him my house is a 'No outside shoes worn inside' home, and that I have a pitbull. He asks to see a pic of the dog, and says he is scared of dogs. I've never met a white, adult male,construction worker that is afraid of dogs, EVER. But I respect what he is saying in case it is in fact, true. He asks if he can book a hotel instead. I inform him, that my dog will be collared, crated, in the home office with my ex, and office door closed and locked while he is here. Tell him, give me 30 mins to finish getting ready, though he is more than welcome to come and hang if he already left.
He then says, "How about you book me overnight?" I come there at 8pm and spend the night. I respond, "Why would I want that? He says, "That's a full boyfriend experience. Massage with happy ending. I'll bring my massage table along." I state, "The last thing I need in my life is a boyfriend. lol" Plus, I never once inquired about overnight, b/c that's not what I was looking for.
An hour and half after he was supposed to be here, I texted, "Hey, Are you okay?" He claimed he got pulled over for speeding, in PHILLY...LOL. There's nowhere to even speed between his house and mine, as it's downtown city streets. Well not to a speed that a city cop would pull you over. Then he says the cop found G in his car, then it was T an G. He then demanded that I send $200 to the "cop's" private PayPal account @NateStrongHeart (Nathaniel Hinton), to bribe the cop and he would be let go. He said he would be able to come later on at 8pm, which just happened to coincide with his previous suggestion for me to book him for an overnight starting at 8pm. He hounded me, trying to manipulate me into send money, by saying things such as: I abandoned him (I offered to drive out and be with him in person, but he wouldn't tell me where he was pulled over), I get easily angered despite showing no anger with him, it was all my fault, I caused this, etc. I did not send any money. Needless to say, he didn't show up at 8pm either. BEWARE!! He's a scammer, manipulator, has ZERO integrity, and not a truthful, trustworthy bone in his body.

15:26 CrossTodd: She’s been trying to send the money to me since Tuesday so I can refund you since you decided to cancel the meeting but your transaction raised a flag
15:27 CrossTodd: Presently the $400 can’t be withdrawn from the balance because you reported the transaction
19:33 WildWilly: For the record, I didn’t cancel anything
19:34 WildWilly: You stated that you would come later at 8pm. You never showed up, nor texted or called.
19:35 WildWilly: Also, the transaction was not reported on this end.
19:37 WildWilly: We never send a payment to Michael CXXX, just FYI. (The screenshot he sent above at 15:25pm
19:38 WildWilly: Why doesn’t she just return the money, instead of trying to send to you, then you to me?
NOV 17,2024
00:04 CrossTodd: Alright I’ll inform her
She probably need to complain to Venmo [sic]
I’ll update you on the profess of the transaction [sic]
00:08 CrossTodd: And fyi i informed you that i got pulled over by the cops and i needed a few amount just to bribe them but you declined

It;s all so complicated and you caused all this
00:08 CrossTodd: You need to be patient so she can inform her back [sic] that she’s not able to withdraw the money
00:09 WildWilly: Go fuck yourself, bro.
00:10 WildWilly: I caused this? YOU were speeding. I wasn’t even in the damn car. Take responsibility for yourself.
00:11 WildWilly: I need to be patient? Thisnisnthe [sic]1st time I’ve contacted about it. (Should say "This is the 1st time I contacted you about it.")
00:11 CrossTodd: Am so sorry
Just give me sometime [sic] to sort this out
The money is gonna be refunded I promise.
Eventually, a few days later, I did get a full refund of the $400.
