He’s a crazy fool. If I were in NYC…. You’re super hot.

I've had guys on Grindr give me fake addresses before. Unfortunately there are true garbage people in this world. 

Don't let the losers get you down.

Me too.. I once went to Brooklyn for a hookup and he wasn't even there to open the door.

Instead of a deposit, I order the uber for the escort.  Then if they flake, it’s just a minimal fee.

Sorry this happened to you. You seem sweet and sexy--if I still lived in New York I would hire you and give you a big tip, just to reverse the karma. In the future, think about asking for an Uber rather than a deposit. The deposit thing can create mutual suspicions, but an Uber is a definite thing, it's traceable, and it's on his credit card not yours. 

Big hug.

Can they not cancel the ride once i’m in it not sure how that works on their side haha. But i was thinking I would probably lose a bunch of clients even more so than asking for a 20 dollar travel fee to my cashapp or venmo bc the cost of an uber trip is a lot if it’s far

That guy sound quite pathetic. I've seen many people behaving like that in other ways. Just another petty loser. Really, how empty your life has to be to incur in that to feel something?

He should be exposed, his name and info should be made available to other prospective targets of his petty nonsense. I do like the idea of having the client pay for the transportation to the place. Not only it will cost him, but his information will be documented.

Sorry you had to deal with that bullshit.

I’m like how sad does your life have to be  to waste your time wasting an escorts time. Before I left I asked him are you sure you want to confirm before i made the long trip and he said yes I also gave him updates that the train was a bit delayed bc of the weather and other stuff i can’t control. He said he only had cash on him so he couldn’t send a deposit and i didn’t ask him for an uber after that.

Im not the kind of person to expose people even if they hurt me but me venting about it here last night helped and today is a new day. I did leave a review on mrreview so hopefully others don’t have it happen

I know ugly breeds ugly, but if a "prankster" doea something like this, he can't complain if he gets punched.

Snapchat location - I've used it to verify Grindr hookups. However I figure many escorts would feel insulted or stalked if I used that with them.

What’s odd is usually they send you to a fake address altogether where the person isn’t even there. This guy was the actual client most likely when i knocked at the door but said that someone has been sending escorts to his place as a prank. I guess he assumes no one is going to do anything but just leave quickly because it’s awkward and what else can one say after that.

aww i’m blushing thanks for the nice words. I’m just scared i’ll lose even more business bc the deposit/travel fee i ask is 20 bucks just so it makes me feel they are bit more serious. I’m in manhattan and the guy last night lived in brooklyn so it was close to a 60 dollar uber fee. I don’t know how many clients will pay for your fee and then also your uber 😮

There is no right answer on deposits. You have to do what’s right for your business. No amount of input from clients or escorts will establish an acceptable standard across the board. Whatever you feel is the right approach for you, for your market, that’s the way to go.

Personally I write these experiences off as a cost of doing business so that I am free to continue doing business the way I want to - without deposits. It serves me well 98% or more of the time. Also, screening and making decisions with your gut to begin with helps that number. When your percentage for whatever strategy you use gets out of whack I would consider changing. There is no foolproof choice free of some cost to you. All choices have pros and cons. It’s about measuring and managing that cost to your business.

Even with a burner number, there are ways to figure out the actual number he's texting from if it's through an app.

Let me know if you'd like some help figuring out who this is. 

It would be my pleasure.

Is it weird that if Ben recorded this lesson and put it on his OF*, I would immediately sign up. 

* I don’t actually know if BN has an OF.

I had something similar happen not in an escort/client situation but with a Grindr hookup.  A friend of mine and I were looking for someone and found a guy on Grindr, it all checked out, etc.  Finally gave him the address. 

Over the next EIGHT FUCKING HOURS there were about 15-20 guys who showed up at my place. This guy on Grindr turned around and tried to hook up with every single square in the area and gave the address out to everyone he could find. Mind you this is in New York City, so there were a lot of people available and showing up.

I could not freaking believe it. My friend and I had no idea what to do in that scenario, I mean you can't call the cops, on who, some guy who blocked you on Grindr? It was a total shit show. These random guys just kept showing up all night looking for fun. We explained to a bunch what happened and some of them actually got a laugh out of it. 

So, yea. Careful out there. Damn.

Ugly just breeds more ugly.  While I don't condone what the client did, take two minutes and breath deep before you go all ugly on anyone.  My recommendation is just block him, leave a poor review, and move on.

It would take more than two hands to document the number of providers who over the years have led me on a wild goose chase or tried to shake me down in one way shape or form.  Let me list a few.....

1.  Meeting up and asking for cash up front and MORE than was agreed upon...then demanding a "Cancellation Fee" when I did not agree to the higher amount.

2.  Driving to their hotel and waiting in the parking lot or lobby for them to never give me a room number or meet up or even reply again.

3.  Knocking on their door and them making noise and then never answering it or better (and I loved this one) shouting "you have the wrong place" through the door.

4.  Giving a provider directions to where I am and getting updates that say "I am 5 minutes away" and then complete silence.

5.  After the encounter, wanting me to pay for their "shower time" when I offered them to rinse off before they left. (I now will rarely offer anyone to 'rinse off' and if they ask, I make it clear it is on their own nickel).

For each and every one of these I blocked them on Rent.Men if that is where I met them. Blocked them on my phone.  If their name comes up in any conversation I will be honest but try not to be ugly about it.   The irony of all of this is that some of the above were done by providers that are well reviewed on this site and / or are frequent contributors on this site. 

However, the fun experiences far outnumber the bad...so I continue on my journey of sampling provider talents.

My Two Cents.

Exactly this! What goes around, comes around.

You can call me a jerk for saying this, but, as far as I am concerned, I find DomKingNYC's side of the story quite amusing, since 95% of the times it is providers who "prank" or try to manipulate clients in extremely creative and bizarre ways. 

I would love to hear the client's version of the story. Are we sure that DomKingNYC wasn't rude to the client and deserved to be pranked in retaliation? Maybe the client wanted to teach him a lesson?

Hey there! The number he used wasn't an voip I believe it was his actual number that along with having no reviews on mrnumber made me secure enough to make the long travel in the awful weather even if he said he only carried cash so he couldn't do a deposit.

I was feeling down then but Im ok now. I don't like to harbor things from the past for too long. But thanks for reaching out and trying to help ben

can post the entire screenshots if I have too. But I have been a member here for many years,and have met multiple people on here (don't know if there still on the forum still)

I think I went above and beyond actually. I asked him if he has any questions before we meet to feel free to ask him, before I left for the train I confirmed if the appointment was still on. I told him I was looking forward to meeting him. I gave him updates on what stop I was because the train was having delays. I knock on the door and that's when he says what I wrote here

I have no reason to lie. I barely post here so Im not looking to get anything from it except posted here to vent because I was upset. Unfortunately a lot of people get off from wasting a providers time whether it be chatting forever with no intention to meet, ghosting, sending you to a fake address just because even when the provider did absolutely nothing to them

So this “client” gave me his address and when i knock on his door he goes…. did you get my number from a dating website because there has been someone that has been sending guys here so you’ve got pranked. Then before i leave he goes and don’t take pictures of my home. Then five minutes later he texts me “You wasted your time and money coming all the way here not me lol bye”

Haven’t had someone sent me to a fake address in years and i don’t know what could i have done. I did ask for a deposit but he said he only has cash. I literally traveled 1 hour each way in this cold snowing weather people are terrible. He sent me his face photo and mr number has no reviews of him so i thought it would be fine to travel without a deposit. Feel really down now not going to lie

 

For such a long commute a deposit or transportation should always be provided. 

You should report the number used for this scam in Mr number

Flakiness goes both ways.

It's unfortunate that some providers don't have work ethic or simply have a short attention span and don't keep their word.

Escorts and clients are two sides of the same coin. No need for "they versus us".

that's controversial haha . I read a thread on here recently where some people said if a provided asks for a deposit they will not hire them. I decided to take the risk because I felt comfortable,if I felt something was off or the vibe was off beforehand I wouldn't have traveled that far but I was clearly wrong no matter what I said that client was never serious in the first place. But now after this I probably won't travel that far without a deposit even if they say they don't have cashapp or Venmo and only have cash on them.

A 1 hour commute is never comfortable please don't do it again unless he's willing to pay upfront for it.  Nowadays there are ways to send a deposit or order an Uber with just a few clicks, something that didn't exist a decade ago. Technology IS your friend, use it! 

I'm still wondering if he did the prank, or it was a setup by someone else. The fact that he thought the whole thing was funny makes me think he has lots of issues.

People already have an issue with sending a 20 dollar deposit upfront to confirm the meeting as is lol. Just imagine a 40-60 dollar uber ride. I don't mind traveling anywhere just as long as they are legit lol. I won't do the uber thing bc its expensive if they are far and I don't need to lose any more business but a small deposit I will do.

You can't imagine the amount of time wasters I get a day, like well over 75 percent of the people that message me it goes absolutely nowhere and that's being generous so yes people find wasting an escorts time funny. Just look at mr number where tons of people have at least 10 plus reviews of them throughout the years wasting escorts time.

I wouldn't take chances on a 40/60 uber ride. I would stay home. 

There's an old Spanish saying:

Do you move the piano to the stool or the stool to the piano? 

He lives 1 hour away, good for him and it must be cheap.... if he has to hire and most guys are one hour away, he should either pick someone nearby or adapt to the circumstances.

I though this thread was in relation to playing an organ, not a piano.

Are those really the kinds of clients an escort wants to put up with?

If the situation warrants it, I don't see a problem with an escort asking.
