Thanks for the warning
But the loss seems very much down to you. You caught her in a blatant lie about your AW account and then decided to send her money because she claimed your account was less than a year old, but you've been punting since at least Nov '22 and you present like a veteran punter, isn't it older than that? If you are and have been lurking around UKP for even longer then plenty of shared experiences to impress upon you the general streetwise to have saved you from this loss.
You caved to all her unreasonable behaviour simply confirming to her you were a desperate mark. This girl was primed to take your money. Sending her the futile text after was hopeless. If you can prove the arrangements and payment then report her to AW, they might disable her account.
Did you not read this
https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=350400.0? Granted a bunch of others crawled out to mention their negative experiences far too late there to be more obviously helpful to that OP.
She'd only been reviewed 3 times in '23 (5 in '22). Number of recent reviews is what should figure more prominently in one's assessment then total. The most recent intel in the past 6-12 months considered the most telling.
You were planning ahead, still had 2 days before encounter, why not contact the most recent reviewers and commenters who'd engaged with her to query the ropey behaviour before giving her the money?
Hope you've spent your remaining 250 on a better SP, plenty who are prettier, fitter and more certain to deliver a service.
