How to known when a scam comes your way?

A picture of what exactly, front and back?

I'd heavily lean towards you are being scammed. It is not impossible that a woman would have interest in Steam cards - women enjoy video games too - but do you really think a legit provider would want hundreds of dollars in Steam credit?

This is a scam. Move along my dude.

I'm getting this a lot lately on Seeking. Cute girl is real interested. We exchange numbers, set up a meeting, then she wants a little something upfront. Most times it's not much 30-50 dollars. I don't give it. Then within a few days, the profile gets deleted. Someone else got scammed by them and then turned them in. If it feels like a scam, it probably is.

Thanks for the info. They ask anywhere from $60 to 200 up front. Wtf! Yep I'm going with my gut. Thanks

A scam for sure.

LOL. First time I've ever heard of Steam cards being used as an acceptable donation too.

adult search never struck me as a trusted source. If she's got any public reviews (TER, PDs, P411, etc), then maybe read on those first.

Any of you guys have a good recommendation for legitimate sites, or how to verify a provider?

100% a scam. steam cards lol

By "provider", you're looking for an escort? Where are you looking currently?

Scam.

As far as verifying that they're a real person, Tryst, P411, and Slixa all extensively verify their girls beyond simply asking for a photocopy of their ID. (ie: Wanting photo of the girl holding their ID/website sign with that day's date and their username/newspaper showing their city and date on it from different angles, and if their other ads match what info they're trying to register with.)

As far as verifying their intentions or that they won't scam you, the only way to really get an idea is by checking their reviews IF they have any reviews from past clients. The rest really is on your gut.
A few girls offer a brief (like 5 minute) Facetime or Skype video chat to the guy if he's not too convinced she's the real deal, but not a lot of them do.

It's a see-saw of trust because a lot of girls ask for a deposit because they've been scammed or robbed by clients, and a number of girls will ask for a deposit... just to take it and disappear off the face of the Earth. All comes down to her presentation, how big her online presence is on ad pages or social media, and how she communicates with you before meeting.
If she's *really* aggressive about you fetching a card to make a deposit of whatever amount, that's usually a red flag.

upfront money is a scam from my experience. I just don't do it and when I am pressed I bolt. look its way too easy for some guy in Bulgaria to take your $50 than for a hard pressed girl to test your mettle. It just doesn't work that way.

@Eve, I am both impressed and disturbed by how much you know about finding a hooker.

@Sgt2005

Officer, Sargent, I will play along and answer your questions:

Q ~ How to known when a scam comes your way?
Q ~ How do you know if you may or are being scammed from a companion?

A ~ If you have to ask, it is for sure a scam.

Q ~ if you do send a Pic of the card can that provider take the funds off that card and transfer them else where?

A ~ yes; some providers can and do.

IMHO and Limited experience Cash is King, I don’t want to leave some electronic footprint of my private relationship with a lady, you know for LEO to use against me.

@Eve’s advice on good sites and using Facetime or Skype video is spot on, during the texting conversation just ask:

“Do you think it’s a good idea to get a glimpse of each other before meeting, I asume we can Video Chat For a few seconds, right?”

If she says “no” it is up to you to take your chances, but chances are the pictures are not a true representation of the provider.

Sometimes you have to take one for the team, and take a chance, only use money you do not need, and will be ok with using it as payment for the life lesson, ie finding out if she is the real deal or not.

These are some steps/recommendations

1. Find and independent
2. Go to her place (in call),
3. Be ready to turn around and walk away if she is not of your liking or doesn't look like the pics (bait and switch).
4. Is better if her incall is in a high end neighborhood, less likely the police will mess with rich wealthy powerful influential celebrities, politician, business men etc. clients.
5. You have to look the part of a good customer, shower, shave, groom yourself, be well dressed, clean, clean, clean.
6. If you do run into the police, keep your mouth shut and ask to speak to your attorney and nothing else, chances are you won't even get arrested or cited, walk away.

I wrote an article about how I found my All Time Favorite woman in Beverly Hill, an early twenties Russian Blonde a 10 for sure.

We made love and when in the doggy position she she moved her right hand to push me back and my dick came out of her pussy at the same time she squirted, no like a stream, more like dumping a cup of liquid, got my feet really wet, I have never seen anything quite like it, not even in squirt porn.

She asked me how did you do that?, I did not answer, because I don't even know, I just went back in and gave her everything I had.

I was sweating rivers myself, I had to get a towel to dry myself, and went back in with all my heart and soul, she dumped two more cups of her pussy juice, and keep asking me how are you doing this? But I did not answer, because I don't know.

I stopped because I came, I was exhausted and she looked exhausted too but I was as happy as one can be.

I believe it was just the right place the right time type of situation.

It was one of the most incredible, surprising, amazing sexual experience I have had in my entire existence.

Thank you for making me remember and enjoy the memories.

Unless its a hooker youre bound to see again like one who works the club circuit in your town or a specific stroll. You have a very high chance of getting scammed. And even then....

The best way to keep from getting scammed is to act like youre pursuing a prolonged business arrangement.

In person you can always play a hoe.

It's a scam. She is scum.

A request for money upfront says scam.

You only exchange cash with a provider.

If anything seems off - end it.

Eat lits of beans. This situation sounds gassed up
