Musclemarvels.com. Anyone used this service?

[Beancounter]

I was browsing Grindr recently and a nice looking guy hit me up. His profile stated he was a massage therapist so I wasn’t surprised when he asked me if I was interested in a massage. I told him I was and, long story short, he sent me a website address to go to so I could book the massage. The link is Musclemarvels.com. The site looks legitimate but it requires prepayment for the massage using a credit card. I told the therapist I was uncomfortable having to register and prepay for a service yet to be rendered. In the back of my mind I kept thinking “scam” but the site looks so professional and on the up and up. I politely declined the massage.

 

I was wondering if anybody here on the Forum was familiar with this site or had used one of their therapists (escorts).

 

If this belongs in a different forum feel free to move it.

You were smart to decline this. My policy is NEVER EVER pay for anything from any provider in advance.

The same happened to me with legitimate looking masseuses who reached out to me on Grindr. They appeared decent but ALL redirected me to an “appointment” site which required a small deposit fee via credit card. Each site had a different name but all followed the same format identical to musclemarvels.com. Too many red flags. Unfortunately Grindr has become literally infested with fakes, flakes and scammers. The scammers are getting really good too.

They are scams to get your credit card number. Grindr is infected with these assholes.

There is definitely an evolution to these things. People get some skills with web development and/or media and can produced a more and more polished scam. When the message is "it's in your interest to trust me, stranger", or variations thereof, back away.

There are women doing this too?
