Verified profile with no feedback. Pictures looked to be of the same person.
I contacted her to arrange a incall in Exeter, and after some back and forth, she wanted a deposit to secure a booking. I decided to send her £30 out of £150 although I've only dealt in cash so far. Guess my little head had taken over and I was too deep to turn back and it was only £ 30.

Once I had made the payment, she re-negged and wanted to get the entire payment up front before agreeing to the booking. I pointed out that I had excellent feedback and that this was suspicious, and she promptly ghosted me.

I'll chalk this up to the cost of learning a life lesson. I've reported to AW and my bank and considering action fraud as well.
I'm posting the following details here in case it helps someone in the future as i'm sure scammers like this just turn around and create another fake profile.

The bank details used were.

Profile back up. I just did a search for the sort code of the bank, comes up with Ivybridge, which is in Devon. Thanks for the HU about the scam. She actually looks tempting, but not going ahead with it thanks to the review above!

Apparently doesn't take cash in hand with new clients

You could report it as fraud to the bank involved, easy to find.
External Link/Members Only  says it's Lloyds Bank at Ivybridge, as MarkBrum reported.

Just give Lloyds a call, tell them a deposit was transferred and the seller or services has run off with the cash.
They'll put a hold on the account, though it may take a time to get your money back.

I messaged a month or so ago about a meet. She messaged me back pretty quick asking for a deposit via bank transfer/paypal. Said once it was paid she would 'give me address'.

I could smell scam straight away, called her out on it and told her she should work on her scamming angles as it's too obvious.

Funnily enough she didn't message back...

Sorry it happened OP, but to me it was very obvious this would happen if you'd noticed the very large red flags.

If you tell Lloyds the account is being used to provide sexual services they'll probably close it: almost certainly contravenes their T&Cs
