Have I been scammed?

[suomi]

OK so on Sunday,

I decided I wanted to meet with someone on Adult Work. I didn't want anything sexual and I've not done anything like this before.

So a girl replied. At first I was suspicious as her feedback was 0 and it was hidden.

But she added me on Skype and we got talking.

She seemed genuine so I paid £100 deposit.

I became suspicious that i was being scammed.

But the next time she spoke to me on Skype. We had a cam to cam and she was a real person.

She told me she'd had trouble last night so she needed the other £100 up front. I could change my mind within three days if I didn't want to go through with it.

So I paid it. I would not have paid it if we had not done a video call.

Since then I wanted to go over a few details and reservations I had. She's been online but she didn't reply. I sent her a message on Adultwork but it was instantly deleted which after googling means I've been blocked.

So the question is...I take it I've been scammed? I feel like such an idiot.

[Bob Cratchit]

I feel like such an idiot.

Well if it walks like a duck...

Sorry friend, at least this is a learning experience.

[suomi]

If I hadn't have a 20 min video call with her, there's no way I would have paid the rest of the money.

[judgedredd]

 
sorry bro
i think u hve been scammed.
i dont pay any deposits to see any escort...i only pay when i see here face 2 face.

[vorian]

Yes you have been scammed, NEVER pay deposits, punt with with girls who have been well reviewed on UKP. Have a look at this guide to adultworks and most importantly read this forum, the more you absorb a more sensible punter you will be.

Please post her AW link so other punters can be helped to avoid this scammer.

NEVER EVER give a WG money as a deposit in advance of a punt. Punting doesnt work like this and never has in my over 30 years of doing it. You pay the WG in preson when you meet her. Those that ask for a deposit are most likely well dodgy but even if they werent i wouldnt pay a deposit under any circumstances.

Please provide a link to this lying low life so other punters reading this are aware.

Are you for real?? I hope that this is just some form of wind up. How did you get info on UKP and post here after event before asking questions on here??

Right that profile has multiple warning signs on it. You have been scammed, keep reading and may I suggest you post the link of the next WG you plan to see before booking her and ask for advice.

Look it was my first time I feel stupid enough. Like I said if wasn't for the long cam to cam video chat I would have smelt a rat... and to be 100% honest I wasn't in a good frame of mind, my judgement was clouded that night for reasons I wont disclose when I woke up I felt mega suspicious and knew I'd made a mistake.

I found here after searching "adultwork messages deleted instantly".

I don't know how this works but I fully admit I was an idiot.

I know I fucked up.

[Matium]

Write the money off to experience.

Stand in front of a mirror and give yourself a slap in the face, if it'll make you feel better.

On the positive side, you're right at the bottom of the punting world so the only way you can possibly go is up.

Don't book another girl without asking about her here first.

Very true, OP can only get better from here on in.

Well I'm sorry mate I once left a pint of milk in a backpack and the contents emptied out and I did not notice and forgot about it. A couple months later this terrible smell developed and it took me ages to find the source. I was so annoyed with myself but in the end no point crying over spilt milk.

[Salt]

Yup.......you've  been done

I feel for the OP, but the only way you ever really learn in life is when you get burned.......

It will sting for a while, but its only money so no real harm done.

Just make sure you do your research properly next time.

There is plenty of advice and opinions here; get a good selection and then make up your own mind.

Keep your chin up

Which method of payment did you use?

Is there any trace on it?

If so PM me.

I will help you get to the bottom of it.

You want your money back? You will have it.

Keep your AW communication and Skype.

PM me when ready.

As above you've been scammed mate. Surprised that anyone would fall for such a blatant rip off. Never ever pay money up front. You'll never see it again

Click on username (above avatar) this takes your through to another page. There's a list of options on left. Click on send pm. Be very careful what info you give out to anyone. You've been fucked over once don't get fucked over again. The money's gone i can't see how you'll get it back

It was deleted based on my report to them/evidence I provided (I think).

That's a claim to be wary of, considering that you don't know what the payment method was.

Totally agree, be careful.  Note a user who joined 4 days ago, has 'visa' in his name and ends with a 'x'

[SirFrank]

I doubt it. Adultwork usually don't give a shit. She probably deleted it herself possibly afte reading this thread?

[vorian]

Agreed,  OP forget the money,  use the time and energy instead to read this forum it will save you far more than £200 In the long term.

Visa049 has been a member 4 days, has 8 posts and yet by his 4th was saying " I am sure many will insult, degrade and take the piss out of this response as with anything I write" and then on the 5th says "Please people its better to read and understand. Now if I respond in kind to some posts I will get the ban.Why? Why cant I be as stupid as others. I choose not to. I am here to learn.What I have understood so far is talk to Dani and few others. Not post questions.

Seems to be nervous of being banned by his 5th post and seems to imply he has more than 3/4 previous posts?

Now he is offering to track down money (for a user who registered a couple of hour ago), is it just me who is suspicious?

If it's a fucking web cam it's hardly a meeting is it? I really can't understand why anyone would waste money on webcam in the first place.
You could have had a shag for less than that.

But then this post seems a load of bollocks as do those by your mate who has offered to get your money back.
Go and play somewhere else.

[judgedredd]

i feel for u bro...
even the profile is gone.
just learn ur lesson and read all the advice given here.

[Dani]

I'll talk on video chat for an hour if you want to send me £200.
Talk about easy money
Seriously though I have to ask....are you stupid?  No feedback and hidden probably means bad feedback that's disputed
Do you send money to Nigerian scammers too?  After all the will spend hours on the phone to you or on Skype.
You paid £100 but then she needed more so you actually sent it

If by PayPal you can claim it back. If you put it in her bank your fucked  if you payed by AW. Credits you can claim them back as AW Don't allow payments for sex

[CBPaul]

If this is legit then write then, as others have said, write the money off to experience and never give money up front to a prossie again.

As for getting the money back, how the hell do you propose to do that David x ? OP, don't go and fall for another scam.

[GeeWiz]

OP. If you used PayPal you can get your money back.  Cam girls can scam so if that's what you were looking for (hard to tell from your post) then go private on Myfreecams or Chaturbate not Skype. If looking for other services do your homework.

What was the £200 for?

What is it they say about a fool and his money being easily parted?   

If this did happen, then the OP needs to learn the lesson, write it off and move on. One thing is certain. He ain't getting a single penny back. 

[grandmaster-ram-rod]

paypal would only refund the cash if the recipient has funds in their account , if they have a zero balance (very likely in this case) then you're fooked, or in the case of the OP not fooked

[latecomer]

What really puzzles me is that you say you "didn't want anything sexual" but you were still prepared to pay £200 in advance - for what exactly?????????

[Dani]

He understood nothing from me apart from the fact he is a total dick.  He even tried to tell me that a girl who is bisexual has a much longer tongue than a straight girl FACT after asking me to name some for him .  Um no not fact.  Otherwise I would not find it so hard to find a girl who actually is and doesn't do it for just the money.

The guy is a total moron and I would not trust him with a booking let alone trying to get my money back.  Remember it is also school holidays so some kids will sign up as bored

What was the £200 for if you didn't want anything sexual?

[suomi]

It was for a meet.

Regardless of whether the guy can help me get my money back (which I doubt). I am drawing a line under this whole sorry sega. I shall forget it, use it as a learning curve and move on!
