So, wanted to warn a few guys out here..

WWW.MINTBOYS.COM

Gay Male Escort in San Jose - Age 27. Thank you for visiting my ad,my name is sam. I'm 27 years old. I'm a cool, corporate gentle Colombian guy.willing to give...

Phone: 7653796236

Address: Hampton Inn, 

5190 Cherry Ave
San Jose, CA 95118
 

I first talked to this guy a few months ago. He said he would do anything for 300 dollars an hour but needed a 100-dollar deposit. Right before he was about to meet me, he started asking for full money, literally begging and I got suspicious and canceled. He kept texting me asking for money every time. Something did not feel right. 

At some point, while he claimed to be in San Jose, he was listed in Bakersfield, Virginia, etc. When I texted him from a different number, he indeed said he was in Virginia, while still claiming to be in San Jose on my other number. Also, a new escort listing (now deleted) with totally different pictures was using the same contact number. Since then, I have heard from multiple acquaintances that this is a big Columbian escort fraud gang that is operating in the SF Bay Area. 

A few messages from other clients:

"I booked him for 2 hours, gave him 200 dollar deposit, last minute, he claimed he was sick and then stopped responding"

"I gave him full money in advance as a deposit, and then no more response. Total scam"

"He started talking to me in Nov '23. He was sweet, and romantic and gained my trust. I gave him 900 dollars so far, and NEVER met him. The first time, I gave him a 200 deposit. Last minute, he said he had car problems. And then some sad story. We again chatted on and off for 2 months and he sweet-talked me. I again gave him 700 dollars as he begged me. Last minute, he told a bunch of lies - car broke down, waiting for Uber, too late let's meet tomorrow (it was 6 pm), and never showed up. Weeks later, he claimed he had a broker who invested his money in crypto and ran off so he was upset. I made one last appointment this week. Again, 15 minutes before the appointment, he said he owes his hotel 400 dollars and without it they won't let him leave, so send me 400! I offered to meet him and talk to his hotel staff which he refused. He has a pimp who controls the show and every single time, its a new story. Total fraud gang operating in San Jose using different names, and pictures. I know I was a fool to fall for this, but yeah, be warned. I got his Cash App and Venmo accounts banned for fraud and also reported him for cyber fraud. he now seems to have a new Venmo - it seems to be a bunch of Colombian guys and a pimp who are operating this scam. They probably are not even in San Jose!". 

 

"Agreed to meet me at his hotel. When I asked for the address, started asking for full payment in advance. Gave him 100 bucks, and then dang, the bastard stopped replying!"

This is what happens when your loins and desires overcomes logic and common sense. 
 

This is why it’s important to diversify your sexual activities…

masturbate

indulge in toys

have sex outside of the realm of hiring. 

have spans of purposeful celibacy/abstinence.

This will help you develop a sense of control over your sexual “footprint”, and will create firm standards for yourself. 
 

This will prevent you from getting snookered by scammers, because you will never be desperate, or horny enough to neglect and ignore all of the bad signs. Your intuition will be clear, and your mind will be clear enough to listen to it.

What makes you think that the guys in the pictures are the guys who actually scammed you? You do understand that it’s quite easy to copy pictures of good looking guys off of the internet and post them to sites, right? 
 

That’s part of the scam.

You beat me to it by 17 minutes as that's what I was going to post.  I think that posting photos of these alleged scammers doesn't make much sense because the photos are almost certainly not of the men doing the scamming.

I'd even go out on a limb and say that while posting the phone number might be helpful on a short-term basis, once the scammers know the number they are using has been identified as a scammer they'll just get a different number.

The main benefit of a thread like is to simply remind people who may not know or may have forgotten that there are scammers out there and that if you are inclined to send anyone a deposit, at the very least make sure you are sending it to someone whom you know has a positive reputation.  I personally wouldn't pay anyone a deposit unless it was someone I had already met and I was booking a longer than 1-evening engagement, but I can sort-of understand people being willing to pay someone a deposit if their location requires some significant amount of travel and they cannot find an escort willing to travel to them without receiving some sort of earnest money in advance.
