Warning: Fake Profile

[NYGuy12]

Hello all - I was browsing Grindr last night and I messaged this guy who I assumed was a provider. I've seen his pictures floating around before: white, 40s, muscular, lots of tattoos - a distinct one around his navel in the shape of sun flames, might be Aussie, claiming his dick is 11". I messaged him and he made it clear he was working, which I accepted. He was close to me in Times Square but asked for 1/2 a deposit through Cash App. I should have said no, but then he sent a video liked I asked as "proof." 

After the $150 was sent, he asked my address and told me the time and to wait for him outside of the hotel. I did, and he never showed up. Blocked me on Grindr as well. His Cash App name is JD ($sportsAt). This is all my fault, but I really went out of my comfort zone to do this and it was horrible. I'm just worried that all providers are like this. 

Beyond that...does anyone recognize the very vague description I put above? There were pics of him on a rooftop at one point too...although these ones last night were black and white.

I cannot help but point out another recent thread where some escorts were alleging it made sense for clients to send money in advance to people they've never met as a good faith demonstration of trust.  Well, sadly, your story just highlights why that's not a good idea.

As to your description, I have two thoughts: First of all, the photos are probably stolen just like he stole your money so it really doesn't matter whose photos they actually are.  Beyond that, I don't know that a circle of flames around the navel is all that distinctive.  I'm pretty sure I've seen at least a few guys in porn with a similar tattoo. 

Sorry to hear of your misfortune.  I would say that most providers are not like this, but most providers aren't going to try to get you to send them $150 in a cash app before ever meeting despite what some providers here might try to claim is the norm.  Run the other way the next time someone tries to get you to pay before you've even laid eyes on them in person.  I personally don't even pay people on arrival, though I will have cash sitting out in a conspicuous place if I'm having someone over so they can see that I am prepared to pay.

Thanks. It totally ruined the experience from me and now they're scamming my bank account somehow. It's been GREAT!
