$3 booking for nuru massage a scam?

[lucasbrat001]

Been noticing a lot of "massage therapists" on tinder recently. usually say to hit them up on insta. they offer 60 min nuuru massage for like $40-$50 but they want you to book through a site that charges $3?

Examples (insta)
allisoncamillegrey
callie.wards

they want you to book on spa-sublime.com or pampering-people.com and want a screenshot for proof of booking

this is a scam, right?

answering my own thread because i have done some googling and it's a common scam. also use pics you can find in other places on the internet

Definitely a scam. Once they have your credit card number, get ready to get hosed.

Latest Tinder: Trey aka Aubrey Smith, massage for $30/hour with $3 deposit. That's not suspicious is it?!

Here's a site w/info from someone who has looked into this: https://medium.com/@MakisMour/tinde...cam-analysis-screencast-included-95c2e7fac30a

Be suspicious of anyone offering services from a third party site. 99% are scams. All dating sites use these tactics to get male subscribers, since many of these sites are free to women. They make their money off of gullible and horny men. You sign up for a site, then suddenly all the prospects disappear. You let your subscription expire, and two days later, you get bombarded with new messages from other women who "want" you.
