When can escorts and masseurs start asking for deposits?

[LaSanta]

How many reviews it takes for a provider to ask for deposits? A lot of clients don't like making deposits because they are afraid they will get scammed. 

[Reggyreg56]

I am not giving out any deposits for that reason. I do not want to be taken advantage of. I mean it could still happen even if you meet a provider but I certainly won't make it easy for the provider lol

The only deposits I give out to an escort are cum deposits 😏

[ncc1701d]

only for ones i've hired several times and trust, and then for longer hires so carrying less cash around

[peter831]

If an escort asks for a deposit I move on to the next one

Never ever give a deposit....lots of guys out there taking deposits and  never show.  We have to take the chance that they are the person in the ad and they have to take the chance we don't show so its quid pro quo.  NO DEPOSITS.

Some existing deposit threads

This is personally something i don't really care about as much as others here do. I've been asked for deposits before and it's never once been a problem, I'm aware I'm the outlier there compared to others here who have obviously been burned by providers asking for deposits. If the providers profile seems fairly legit and the deposit is low enough i've had no issue paying it. I've never had a provider i paid a deposit to not show up or give a lackluster performance after. There are plenty of other context clues to take into account that can let you know if paying the deposit is going to result in you getting scammed/no showed or not. Same stuff many here have suggested in other threads about how to gauge provider quality/legitness. That's just been my experience though.

No. Deposits. Ever.

[LaSanta]

And what about the times providers get scammed by "clients" that don't actually exist? This is the reason why escorts often ask for deposits. I had a friend who was sent to a location in the middle of a highway in purpose by one of those characters claiming they were clients. 

[LaSanta]

So escorts that have to travel long distances for a client can't have a deposit neither to ensure they will actually meet with someone? I am so confused right now. 

Would you provide an Uber at least?

That's their problem. NOT OURS!
It is part of the cost of doing business in their chosen profession. If they can't take the heat.......
Why would anyone send a deposit up front or pay for an UBER for a provider in a town where there are others offering the same or similar services without those demands?

And what about those providers that have to travel to another city to meet with people they never met before? Do you realize there are other potential clients willing to make the deposit to ensure they aren't playing games with the escort? Providers are entitled to impose their conditions the same way clients have the entitlement to move on if they can't take the heat lol. My job my conditions.

My friend once traveled 5 hours for an a client and when he arrived to the destiny, the asshole blocked him. Expenses and time wasted for my poor friend. Rentmen.com didn't do shit when he reported.

When a person has so many clients that he is ready to turn many away, then he can start asking for deposits.  The deposit requirement will assist in turning away potential customers.

Remember, this line of work doesn't offer unemployment benefits.  So stipulate your conditions carefully.

It's so sad the younger generation can't read maps.  Given today's ease at seeing the street view on maps, why would someone not look at the building of the address their given before they depart from home?!  If a young person lost his phone today, he wouldn't be able to find his way home.  I'm surprised how many New Yorkers can't even navigate the subway without their phones telling them exactly which trains to take.

[JayCeeKy]

I refuse to pay a deposit.  In fact, I'd even extend the time frame: I will not pay for services UNTIL they have been rendered - I learned that lesson in ATL last year when I foolishly paid as soon as the  escort arrived - he demanded the fee upfront and, as soon as he pocketed it, out the door he goes, uttering "F*g" as a parting gift and as a way to justify his thievery - i.e. f*gs deserve to be ripped off.  The first clue should have been him wearing a balaclava in his online face photo - AND when he arrived at my hotel room.

@LaSanta   you've been around the forum for nine years and maybe much more......the deposit quandary has been discussed many times.......each client and each provider handles it in their own way, often after much trial and error......the client and the provider will come to a 'meeting of the minds' - or not........there is no answer for your "how many reviews....." question

Someone ubered him to a location in the middle of a highway. He didn't even ask for a deposit.

 This is only valid for providers that have one source of income and basically have no choice. 

[Mark_fl]

I wouldn't pay an Uber for a plumber or any other service job that comes to me to work,  and I wouldn't pay a deposit for the same reason. Show up, get paid.

That said, If I was requesting someone fly in, it would be very reasonable to do so. HOWEVER, if this wasn't a regular, I would insist on purchasing the ticket (likely refundable) myself, which would obviously require a level of trust having to know the real name, which is unlikely to happen.

Just encountered too many flakes and heard stories of others to lay out cash on trust. 

I also fully understand why a provider would insist on a deposit, but personally I'm not that desperate to hire.

Well I would imagine they usually don't pay much income tax either so it should even out. 😉
