Biggest scams?

[+ keroscenefire]

Mine is a guy in Las Vegas who I made two horrible mistakes: 1) Paying upfront 2)Not insisting on meeting in person in public. I sent him $300 via CashApp and he told me meet at his apartment building. Well I go to his building and its in a gated community with a security guard. I tried to tell the security that I was trying to meet a friend who lived there and he was like, "I've heard that a millions times and if a resident has a guest visiting they have to come and sign the guest in." Well the escort said he couldn't do that because he didn't want the apartment to find out about his side-gig and literally suggested that I either climb the fence or try to like sneak in while the guard wasn't looking.

 

I told him I wasn't going to do that and so asked for the money back, but he refused saying that this his other clients don't have a problem doing this and it would be worth it and all this BS. I was really pissed and from then on I have always demanded that an escort do what his job says and meet me in front of the building or complex or whatever and escort me into the building.

Urgh... one of my first hires... Got this guy off of craigslist of all places, when I first got into this little hobby and was a younger dumber more naive version of myself today. The guy arrived at the hotel and I usually like to start off with a massage. So I requested that and he asked for the money first. I don't mind it since I tend to get that out of the way so I can just focus on relaxing and enjoying myself. Guy claimed to have forgotten his massage oil and asked if he could go to his car to retrieve it. Me being stupid said ok and let him go get the oil only for the guy to disappear on me.

 

There are other times as well... but there are instances I feel so dumb for being tricked that it still makes me cringe thinking of it.

 

Thankfully I have not encountered any unpleasant events other than the first few times when I just started. I like to think I am more wiser in the way of life now.

I've had a few interesting moments and one this week if you saw my recent post about a mintboy.

 

- First time was being held up at gunpoint by a kid I picked up off the street. We chatted, he suggested we go back to his motel room where he was staying. Got out of the car and he had a gun pointed at me and kept screaming, I ain't no faggot. Pretty much a trap. $40

 

- Had a college kid who lived on my street who hooked up with me while the bf was at work. He later showed up at my door demanding cash or he'd tell my bf we hooked up. I think he got $150. He later tried to get me to buy him a dildo, so happy when he moved.

 

- Recent mintboy who said he was going to make a video of him and his gf for $50, sent via cash app, said he never got it which was a lie.

 

- And the big one, the long game scam by Josh Long the porn star. Connected via only fans, chatted and then texted a lot. Told me a lot about his personal life, etc. Sent me some videos at about $20-60 a pop including him fucking his girlfriend, so he seemed legit. Then things took a dark turn, he claimed his bank account got hacked, sent me screenshots to prove it, and he was broke and couldn't pay for food for his infant son, or his phone bill. I wound up sending him $200 which he said he'd pay back, a few more desperate pleas, then he disappeared. Facebook gone, only fans gone, twitter gone, no longer at Fabscout. Then I found he was in serious legal trouble and was on the run. I reached out to him via text and got a response that he doesn't do that anymore and that's no longer a part of his life. And to this day he, his gf, and son are off the grid somewhere in Florida.

Yikes, I think you take the cake for this thread, at least so far.

The Josh Long story are sort of scams reported dozens of times by people who fall “in love” with boys in Thailand, the Phillipines, Brazil, Morocco etc. By that I mean sob stories for money after the event. In this case it was his infant son. I have read countless stories on the internet for after the event requests for money for starving children, dying mothers, education expenses, flooded rice fields in northern Thailand etc.

Yes, and people in various sorts of trouble are often plausible enough to be moving. I guess the true tell of a scam is when they disappear.

Yes and they having scamming down to a fine art. In countries like Thailand if you are foolish enough to give your email address to a casual encounter as sure as night follows day the money requests flow. A friend met a boy in the street in Bangkok. They went back to his hotel room, great sex and my friend gave him his email address. A number of love sick emails followed then the inevitable. His parents rice field flooded and a request for money. He supplied a pro forma with name, bank details, BSB number. This boy had obviously done this countless times. My friend laughed it off. This is so common in these countries you can hardly call it a scam. If you give details like mobile numbers, email addresses expect the inevitable.

About 7 years ago the hottest regular I ever had, a guy from Craigslist, need some funds. We’d been getting together for over a year at that point so I loaned him a few hundred that he paid back via a reduced rate on future visits, and it actually went fine. Unfortunately he later turned into a meth head so we stopped meeting.

 

Last year I tried the same thing with a regular from Seeking who I had been seeing occasionally for about a year. He wanted a few hundred extra for VIP access to an Ariana Grande concert. He was supposed to come over the next day but ghosted me and instead posted stories to his IG account all day, and then blocked me from his page. Now, over a year later, he’s broke and messaged me just last month wanting to get together again. Not gonna happen!

I believe your keyboard has a little problem with the caps lock

Comments on the caps (for which I apologize) but not on the "content" bc all I said is true :-) Scorts have a total right to ask for advance payment deposit etc etc and clients who pay it make that choice. And the result almost ALL of the time is clear based on every post here.

I was just giving you shit for the caps.

 

The gist of your message I agree with on all fronts

I wonder how much of these scams come down to sociopathic tendencies? Knowingly harming or hurting someone without remorse/little remorse and still going through with the act is considered anti social behavior. Many times brought on by very bad childhood trauma.

 

I met an escort in florida about 8 years ago in a coffee shop. Went out on actual dates with him for a few weeks. never a hire situation. Then I saw the ugly. Talked openly about how he wanted expensive things for his house. He would basically blackmail his clients if he knew they were married to give him money for his projects. Incredibly sweet and charming at first. Then the monster quickly reared its head. After those stories and saw those actions I said "bye bye". This man went beyond sociopath into psychopath realm!

Well, it’s commonly estimated that 4% of the population are sociopaths, so we’re all likely to meet a few in our lives.

I've been told I'm overly trusting or generous, so perhaps it goes with the territory. Here are my relevant tales:

 

Back in college a friend needed money for a family emergency, I "loaned" him what he needed. He agreed to a repayment schedule and then didn't honor it. About 5 years later I receive a letter with a check, so I was eventually repaid even with a little interest.

 

About a decade ago, a workout buddy who I met at the gym 5-6 times a week for over a year asked for some help because his car was breaking down and he was worried he'd losing his job without a car. I gave him the 15k he needed for a used car. He promised to pay it back when he could. Everything was good for a couple months and then he vanished. Another couple months go by and suddenly he's back. Turns out the money was for a deposit and first/last rent on a new place for him and his gf. It took much longer than originally promised, but he eventually paid me back, left his gold digging gf, and at one of our parties met the woman he's now married to, so I guess that worked out well.

 

I guess I saved the best for last? The first time I hired, I made a critical mistake of not paying attention to the drinks I was offered. One was spiked with something that resulted in a 7 hour blackout, waking up naked on the bathroom floor, and an escort who was upset about me over drinking and a wasted night. I only remembered having the a beer and a shot or two, but I was very nervous since it was my first time, so I believed him, apologized, and paid for the night even though I'd only booked a 2 hour session. I stumbled out to my car only to realize my brand new iphone was missing. He claimed innocence and I wasn't thinking clearly, so after a little searching I went home thinking I'd somehow lost it. I disabled it as soon as I got home. Over the next couple weeks, it would appear and disappear on apple's tracking. Then one night, after I'd called the wireless company to disable/blacklist the phone, it appeared on the map around 4 am 20 minutes from my house. I'd supposedly lost it over an hour away. I never recovered it. All told, that night cost me a couple grand but that's cheap compared to dying from a drug overdose.

Yikes those are some crazy stories. Glad you're still okay and that you're still doing this hobby. I am not sure I would after those experiences.

Sorry you went through that - I hope your dad was ok.

 

Yes, he's fine. Down a kidney. But good. Thank you.

My very first escort (hustler) in Acapulco was so charming. After we met, he came to me with a tale of woe. He was about to be evicted from his apartment and needed money. I went to the bank and got a cash advance of $50. (This was 1980!) I didn't see him for several days, but he finally turned up talking about the 6 days he and his friend had spent in Mexico City. They had such a good time. He was the kind of guy it was hard to get mad at, so I laughed it off and chalked it up.

[KrisParr]

And then there was Michael, who advertised as an “escort of distinction” - I started seeing him every 3-4 weeks. Back in the day, his service was 150 which was a little steep for the area and it was the 90s. Anyhow, after a few encounters, it started with needing an extra 20 for gas. Then, hey let’s get pizza and beer on my dime. Next it was his car that needed a new battery, he needed some dental work, and on and on. Granted, he was a gorgeous hunk and the sex was incredible- and he knew it, and he knew that I knew it. The gravy train just kept rolling on and the “needs” became demands. I finally woke up, several thousand dollars later. He dumped me eventually; apparently some other customer had a bigger wallet. I ran across him a few years ago on social media. He was running a gym and advertising personal training and massage. The thick blonde hair had disappeared along with the pecs and abs. Karma, we adore thee.

After hiring for many years I’ve learnt that as soon as a hire requests a loan, or shares a tale of woe, or offers a discount next time, etc. then it’s time to move on. When I was younger, less jaded and more generous, I used to think why not, I’ll take the risk. And nearly every time I got burned. Just the other day a regular messaged me from his holiday in Greece, saying he’d lost his wallet and I would I loan him 200, which he’d take off our next meet. Such a pity as I thought he was one of the good ones. It sounds harsh but what I’ve learned to tell them when these requests come through is I’m not you father, your therapist or your ATM.

I recently, 6 months ago had a local guy I saw about 4 times maybe 2 years ago hit me up. Asked if I could cash app him $50. He was at a casino and "needed the money".... that he would like to see me that week and just take it off the fee. "No can do". I said. He got a little pushy about it and I said "look... let's not have any problems here. If you keep this up you will be a problem. You dont want that". Radio silent after that and never heard back again.

 

Other than that I really dont think I've ever been in that sort of situation. Knock on wood. I also think that some hustlers feel they can push certain people that way and not others. Depends many times on your personality type and mannerisms.

[Gymowner]

I did however have a regular I saw every week for a year or so thru discussions during our meet ups talk about loosing his regular job and how tight money was. He was very selective on who he saw so didnt see many people at all. He NEVER asked me for any advances for money ever but knowing his situation I offered to see him twice a week to help him out. More than able to help him. It was my call... my decision. He eagerly said yes. My father taught me to work for my money, so I did the same with this escort. A win/win for both of us.

In 15 years of hiring, I have gotten taken twice: As per Aaron James' comment above, a loan (in this case only $120 for "school books") from an adorable twink turned out to be the last contact I had with him. A little scarier was a backpage hire. He wasn't delivering (wouldn't kiss, wouldn't bottom, wouldn't suck dick) so I called a halt to the session and asked him to leave. He asked for a towel; when I returned to my bedroom he was in a different part of the room and appeared to have been prying. I later discovered that he had gone into my dresser drawer and lifted about $250 in cash. Ever since then, I have been careful with first-time hires to hide the valuables and keep the guys in my sight at all times.

About 25 years ago I hired a guy to come in from Dallas for an overnite. I had not met him previously but he was very hot and had

decent reviews. I have never hired for more than an hour since, unless I knew the guy. As agreed I gave him half up front when he

arrived (via plane). He looked great!

After we talked a half hour or so, I went to the bathroom in my apt. and he bolted, bag and all. I knew he had to probably go

to the airport so I went there (which was before all the security gate stuff). And there he was at the Southwest gate going back home.

He looked shocked when I appeared!! I told him quietly that he needed to give me every cent back or I would make a scene and

security or cops would be there in a minute. He gave me all of it! (I would not likely have made a scene, but it worked). His ad disappeared

soon after this!

 

Badass.

[Enronnja]

$800, I got to kiss him and fuck him, but it was just not worth it for the plane ticket and all the other shit I spent. $400 on another one, but after I wrote a nasty Daddy Review about him, his career apparently stalled. Basically spent 400 for muscle worship and frotting and eating his butthole.

 

I want my money back dammit! LOL!
