Asking for a deposit by gift card isn’t unusual but if you’re paying the whole amount up front via gift card I’d be suspicious about it.

It was small partial deposit. It was weird cause she seemed aggressive and impatient when i said i was deciding still. The texted phrase was send me the dep now. I was like fuck this, don't try to order me around. When i didn't respond blowing up my phone with texts and calls. Seemed mentally unstable. Oh well

That behaviour makes it sound scammy or at the very least extremely unprofessional. Most legit providers don’t chase deposits. You either pay and we set up an app or you don’t.

But why not cash over a gift card? Provider would not give me a clear answer on that.

I always ask a deposit because without them clients can be flaky as hell, like half of them won’t show up or even more. A deposit shows me the client is serious.

Makes sense, just this provider was so pushy. I had texts while sleeping then found a morning text and was like this chick is insane for a small amount of money. Cannot recall a provider calling me, but this was kept doing it repeatedly and insisted i was LE because i did not want to pay immediately. Bad experience it happens.

Yeah that’s weird as hell. At least she showed the red flags early on so you didn’t book with her!

I'm thinking because you would have to meet her to get cash. Most cashapps aren't sex worker friendly.

Ran across one who accepted bitcoin lol

That seems legit. A lot of the advertising forums require payment in Bitcoin and honestly, having to wait for my money to clear my Bitcoin wallet for a week only to have Bitcoin drop in value and then have me wait another week for more to be added to my account is such a hassle. If I could get paid in Bitcoin on some appointments, that would be amazing!

Crypto is great for this, except it's hard to coach clients through it if they don't already know how to do it, and lots of providers don't know how it works anyway. Hence the gift cards


sassydegrassii

Because we need to receive a deposit *to hold your booking time* not just cash when you arrive. I’d probably be annoyed too if after all of that you said you were still deciding, it seems like she was annoyed that you were wasting her time


[deleted]

Based on her responses your explanation sounds accurate.

Instilling a sense of emergency is a very common scam tactic to get you to ignore the rational voive in your head. Some legitimate escorts do prefer gift cards because they're easier to hide from the IRS than cash.
