Firstly, superb work there Ali! Thanks for the warning, much appreciated ⭐
There are providers out there that only do outcalls to hotels. There are some that request deposits. It doesn't mean they are scammers. We may choose not to book them, but that's the pay off.
If there weren't time wasters there wouldn't be any requirements to ask for any kind of deposit.
You can have along and illustrious punting career across the globe, without ever paying a deposit, I've not paid one in over 20 years of punting.
There is no good reason for paying a deposit in this game. Any girl asking for a deposit is a potential scammer,
no exceptions. The largest issue is when something genuinely comes up (on her end), and the meet needs to be re-scheduled, how often does an instant refund come? Instead the deposit is
always kept until "the next meet", and let's say she gets annoyed by a text you send regarding the re-booking or cancellation, she then decides to keep your deposit as compensation for "your behaviour". In these situations there is no redress. All the risk is transferred to the punter with no chance of getting their money back, even with a "genuine" SP.
The best thing to do, for all punters, is never to pay a deposit. Those girls that "need" one, should find a different way of managing their risk, rather than putting it 100% on the punter.
I do agree that timewasters exist, but I'm certainly not one of them, and like many other serious punters, I've been fucked about more by WGs, than actually fucked by them.
