External Link/Members OnlyPaid a £150 deposit for an agreed outcall after clearly disclosing beforehand that I had a male flatmate and that there was no lock on my bedroom door. The deposit was accepted and the booking was confirmed.
After keeping me waiting for around two hours and repeatedly saying she was getting ready, she ultimately said she would not come to the agreed address because she was uncomfortable with there being two Black men in the property and suggested a hotel instead.
When I asked for my deposit back because she was no longer willing to attend the agreed location, she refused to refund the full amount, saying she had spent time talking to me and getting ready.

I think the strangest part for me was her insinuating I was on drugs
