Jameslamassage

Well I figured I should give this a bump, I consistently deliver a great massage in Los Angeles. I don't cheat clients on time and can do a legit 2 hour deep tissue session. Usually pretty booked but I work a lot so relatively easy to schedule with me

Absolutely, I have always gotten the bank to side with me on disputes like this. Small Claims court not necessary - as long as your method of payment was a Visa or MasterCard or other major bank. I had a $700 charge reversed one time, it's very simple:
 
You call the bank phone number on the back of your card, ask to dispute a charge, tell the bank rep the day/dollar amount/company that fraudulently/incorrectly charged you, and once they have all the info they should credit your account in 12-24 hours. Then, the business has 30 days (IIRC) to submit paperwork stating that you agreed to be charged/paid for the service, etc. At any point in those 30 days, your bank may take the money back out of your account if they determine the charge was not incorrect or fraudulent in any way. The business has to submit a substantial amount of paperwork on their own behalf in order to prove this and get the bank to side with them. But even if that happens, you can just call the bank again and dispute it again. But generally, if you're in the "right" - you'll get your money back in 24 hours, a letter in the mail, and the bank may want to issue you a new card so that you don't get charged from the same company (or someone else fraudulent) in the future.

$1/month or $5/month for FMG's blog is a steal! And yes a $50 Visa/MC prepaid card will run $55 at a grocery store and would last for many months...
 
@FrequentMassageGetter next time you're around my area, I'll give you a 90 minute session for $100 flat dude. I know you typically only do 60 minutes but I know you've been working a lot lately and could use more therapeutic work! I've added a lot of new wrinkles to my routines since the last time I saw you & it really takes 90 minutes to do a majority of them... Hip flexor work in particular, compression stretching along with incorporating Glucosamine/MSM/Arnica cream for hands/arms & magnesium oil for the bottom of the feet (best part of the body for magnesium to absorb topically). I also have a cream called Celadrin that I use for my "good" regulars (lol) that I apply to the L4/L5 low back area. Using these products makes my costs go up a bit but I make it back in tips and the way I apply them is very therapeutic. BTW good job getting a new blog back up so quickly!

My experience has been that you're credited immediately and then they investigate.

I just got charged too yesterday, 270 bucks for what? Big bummer but it is easy to call the bank and as long as your payment has a Visa or MasterCard logo it's very easy to dispute. The original visa and MasterCard agreements state that if you're ever dissatified with a purchase in any way you just have to call the bank and dispute charge and they have to credit the funds back to your account, even if they ask some inane questions along the way they will eventually do it as it is required by law. I hope they can fix the site, however as they have a great available now system... When the site is working, of course

This pisses me off. I have spent over 21,000 advertising with them since 2012. They won't answer emails ( I sent 4) I even called the owner and he did not call back or text. ( I am a photographer so I used my contacts to get his info)
 
I am going to cancel this months charge. I even searched police dispatches for any news regarding raids ECT.. Nothing showed up...

@Daniel84 Thanks for the legwork and your effort. All may not be lost, though. Hopefully you paid them with a credit card or some other form of contestable payment.
 
The fact it’s a PO box location though doesn’t surprise me, but that may not be bad.

Well.... Both numbers are disconnected, emails are not answered and their office is a post office mailbox. Nothing like Just paying $300 for shitty service.

Both customer service numbers are now disconnected. I am driving to their offices in Beverly hills to find out what the fuck is going on...

10% off if you pay for a session in advance... his weekly special. His rate is 150 / hour, so that means he's willing to take 135 if you pay for the session in advance. I'm interested what others have to say about his massage because one of his reviews claims "he's in a league of his own" but why would he offer a discount like this if he was really that good? If he wants to make more money he might want to offer an attractive 90-minute session price rather than attempt to get money for services not yet rendered.

So I took one for the team and tried Lucas yesterday.
 
He’s not the same guy as in the pix. The actual masseur is Eurasian (claims Ukraine) not East Asian. But definitely ripped, handsome and could pass for half Asian.
 
Massages on a table in a clean apartment. His English is not great.
 
Massage was really quite good *if* what you’re looking for is purely sensual (incl release). I don’t think he’s trained in therapeutic massage. If you like light, teasing, sensual touch, he’s a good bet.
 
I may go back. Not sure yet.

I am usually not a massage person but I messed up my back or something so I'm looking for someone good. Reviews seem good. Anyone here massaged by him?

I will also take any other massage recommendations in the San Fernando Valley. I am looking more for a great massage...nothing sensual or sexual.

Nice ad!!

100% Agree, highly recommend Mark in Noho.

You should try Mark in North Hollywood.
Don't have his link handy - sorry. He's been mentioned here on forum so you should easily find him.
 
Very sensual and erotic, well proportioned, very interactive and a great experience everytime I see him.
Fun, too.

I've had straight therapists that were great.

I've read from some forum members that they would never hire a straight masseur... ? Honestly I really do not care that much... if he delivers a good massage and the extras are acceptable... is all good with me. I've hired masseurs with nice extras and they are married to a woman and have kids... that's their business and it does not bother me.

I take serious issue with bhweho telling someone that they made a good decision to not book with me. It's his opinion of course and he's entitled to it, however I also have a right to call him on his BS, like stating my location is remote when I'm minutes from Burbank Airport. I know for a fact that my massage is superior and more therapeutic than what 9 out of 10 other masseurs offer. My Instagram feed is full of messages from my clients that are totally satisfied & grateful for the service I provide. I help people almost everyday with mobility issues and long-term injuries that they've given up on even resolving. I take a sincere interest in my client's health and wellness - I even found a hardened breast cancer-type spot in a new client recently, and had to tell him to get it checked out as he had no idea men can also get breast cancer.
 
And to bhweho's point of my business potentially taking a dive because of a few unpopular Message Board posts here, that has yet to happen lol despite his attempts to spread the word that my massage is "not worth to try". I also deliver a great m4m massage as has been detailed here by other members - I've even been asked by some of my new clients, "where did you learn how to do that???" LOL I'm a fast study and I do enjoy delivering therapeutic as well as sensual. Gay massage is an art and Bodywork is a craft I take seriously.
 
I typically do 25 to 30 plus hours of deep tissue a week. I'd say roughly 60% of those hours are with regulars. I probably should take a week off anyway LOL but what can I say? Whenever I hear from a regular I want to schedule to see how they're doing, and whenever I hear from someone new I'm interested to meet them & see how I can help.
 
Stay loose! Be happy

One thing you need to know, the person you mentioned above is not me. I never negotiated the rates, and I tipped more than 20%. If telling my own experience makes you think I’m a hater, I’m sorry man. I’m just doing what this forum is supposed to do, sharing my experience. And if your massage is really good, people will come to your business. I do get PMs that some forum members said they’re with me. I hope your business goes well, best wishes.

LOL you're my one hater on the Internet. It's so funny. By the way I remember exactly who you are, and asking for change after paying $70 for one hour massage makes you look pretty cheap dude. And then to pan my massage on this forum complaining you didn't receive extras is so hilarious. Also in your original post about my massage you specifically mentioned that my location is remote when I'm right off of Lankershim Boulevard and close to the 5 freeway which stretches CA. And I am minutes from Burbank Airport.
 
In your words, I gave you a "OK massage". Not a bad massage, just okay. And that's the worst review of my massage I've ever seen, someone saying it was just okay. I strive to be excellent every single day and I'm always improving, and I do help people tremendously everyday. You really have no idea man. You accused me of being bitter before but as the old proverb goes, "how loudly the sin speaks in accusation". Basically you're accusing me of being bitter when you're the one that's truly bitter, perhaps you believe $70 should get you extras in a one-hour massage but that's just not the case.
 
And let's not forget I offered you a free massage as you were not satisfied with the first one. You politely declined which was totally okay with me. Can we be civil? I hope we can, thank you BHweho

By the way I'm all for transparency... as I'm sure the rest of us are as well. That's why this board is so cool and I am not afraid whatsoever to have my massage skills judged here... Paying good money for bad massages is terrible! It's a common problem apparently! Good luck everybody during your next massage experience

Real massage in LA (me lol)... I do real body work and put actual energy and effort into the massage... No bs "spiritual healing" games here lmao

No, he’s not your only hater on the internet, Jimmy. You’re making yourself look really bad here...again.
