It was a moment of weakness and I got sucked in by the numerous reviews that he APPEARED to have. I thought that gave me some comfort that he was real, but have found out that this is not the case. My loss....LITERALLY.

Tried to submit a review on Rent Masseur, but it was rejected because I hadn't been in touch with him via the website. Nonetheless sent a message asking that all of the IP addresses of his many reviews be checked....many recent reviews all came on the same day. Will see what happens. Again, hope that no one else suffers the same fate.

VERY smart to cancel. Had a VERY bad experience with this person today. He's a con artist.

BUYER BEWARE!!! Saw this person's ad today while in Chicago. Contacted him via text. He required pre-payment, which I did against my better judgement. Showed up at his home at the agreed to time. Let him know that I was in the lobby. No response. After 20min, I left. No contact from all all day. Called the hotel; no one is registered there under that name. Attempted to get $$$ back to no avail, of course. Again, BUYER, BEWARE. Goes by 'Jorge Diaz'. ProfessionalLMT on RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM View my profile on RentMasseur.com

Scott, thanks for relating this story. I think that this is the appropriate response. Glad that it worked out for you.

Guy, I agree with your assessment. No such thing was offered with the 4AM message. As stated, he was a traveller so I am pretty sure that he's out of my area now. So, I wasted an hour of time and probably a gallon of gasoline.

The appointment was originally at 10pm. He contacted me at 8pm to ask to push it back to 10:30. I showed up 10:32 and sent a text message. I waited 15min and, hearing nothing, drove home. He messaged me 4am saying that he'd fallen asleep. I messaged back that I'd assumed that that is what happened. No other communication after that.

Thanks Jamie21, Kody, Vegas_nw1982, questbear, and client1985.

Thanks, InChiTown and Bluefin.

Thanks, EastBayMike and NJGuy2.

So, would be interested in comments from all of you. This has happened twice now and would appreciate your thoughts. First off, my givens: 1. Massage is a physically demanding job and makes masseurs tired. 2. Travelling masseurs may also have jet lag to deal with travelling across time zones. 3. Travelling masseurs to my city (Boston) are often very busy due to the inadequate number of masseurs for a city of this size. With that as background, I made an appointment with a masseur for later in the evening. Drove to the location. Messaged him that I had parked. No response. Waited 15min and then drove home, assuming that he had fallen asleep. Indeed, that is what happened. What should happen next? Immediate re-schedule with discount? Immediate re-schedule with free massage? Nothing at all--so sad/too bad? Other options?

I went here and had a nice time. http://greenjademensspa.top/

Used to love Century Spa. Many happy hours spent there.....loved the outdoor patio which was perfect for cooling off.....esp nice on a comfortable LA night.....

Even tho I no longer live in LA, I saw on FB that Century was re-opening.

I would provide it.....as a matter of respect and concern for the health and safety of the provider.

As always, appreciate the advice of this group in advance. As more and more are getting vaccinated, I'm more comfortable dipping my toe into the massage world. However, as a way of ensuring that a masseur is vaccinated, I have asked for a pic of the vaccination card with the only the first name showing. I have also asked for another ID (driver license, passport, something.....) showing the same first name. In the two instances that I've asked for matching documents, masseurs have not provided both. Am I asking too much? I'm trying to protect myself obviously. Opinions please.

re: Britain Westbury/Colin Smith/etc....those ruddy cheeks.....that waist.....SWOON.

Dear All Who Are Always A Fount of Knowledge, I have had the pleasure of seeing this masseur for over a decade. Excellent technique and a nice guy. Saw him in both LA and DC. Have now lost track of him. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. https://rentmasseur.com/MsclBori

Patients with MERS-CoV infection are unlikely to be re-infected shortly after they recover, but it is not yet known whether similar immune protection will be observed for patients with COVID-19."

I recently saw MusicalMasseur while in Nashville. Had a very enjoyable time. Well trained. Uses a table. Did not find him manic....rather found him quiet and comforting. As always, your mileage may vary....

I saw him yesterday and was very very impressed....one of the best massages I've ever had. Very clean apartment. Technically excellent. Lasted a full hour. Shower and water available.

Thanks!!! Greatly appreciated!!
