Instant bin fodder for me that. It's just a snotty way to sell her pg.... Ranks with deposits in my book that.
It would put me right off.
I don't understand so many people's aversion to deposits. My experience is very different to what many say here. If it's someone who's well reviewed then surely you can be pretty sure it's not a scam, no?
I've been sent deposits on so many occasions you wouldn't believe.
I ask for them occasionally when it's a really late night booking and they aren't on adultwork, or I ask them to book me an uber.
I ask for and get sent deposits for my train tickets when I'm travelling outside London for an outcall.
I also get them when I arrange incalls in London specifically to see someone. I never ask for more than is necessary for the cost, whether that's train tickets, taxi, hotel, whatever.
I also ask for them if I've been messed about by someone, and they decide to try and book again.
