I have been seeing a new trend on ads on various platforms for those of us offering in person services, and where an ad will either redirect you to an OF account or they will say in their ad to book through their OF.
Most of these OF account names look suspicious too as they have a woman’s name followed by a bunch of numbers, not a first and last name like most SWers use to brand themselves. Also OF does not allow people on their platform to talk about in person meet ups and someone could lose their account doing this.
I just found out today by another provider that a client of hers clicked on an ad link that was supposed to be for their website but it took them to their OF account. When they contacted them about booking them they sent a message telling them to send a $200 deposit and to book through an external link that wasn’t an escort website. They did this and got scammed.
So I would suggest if you join an OF account to only send money through their platform, to make sure the person is legit, do not talk about in person meet ups on their platform ever. Only book reputable providers as well that you can know who they are and to be real as well. Most of us have websites, social media, reviews, link pages, and you can see are who we say we are.
Please be careful out there as scammers are getting better with their scams and keep coming up with new ones to try and trick people out of their money.
