The issue of Deposits.

I have put a ton of thought into the following.

A couple of years ago I approached a very reputable lady here in Victoria and she asked for a deposit. Right away I became sceptical. So much, I abandoned the conversation. I was shocked I would ever be asked for such a thing. When I contact a lady, my motives and intent is true. Why would I expose myself to such a fraudulent ideology, but wait. This Victoria! Without a robust online community where the ladies can vet you as much as we vet them. Or so you should! They, like us. Rely on a marketing medium such as LeoList. We all know what that minefield is full of. Believe it or not guys…. The ladies are exposed to as much scams as we are. If they are not, well. They are subject to NO SHOWS, and weirdos.

It took me 2 years to respect why the Victoria REPUTABLE providers are starting to ask for deposits. Most Indie’s are low volume providers, so. If they chose to see 1 or 2 clients a day. They want the clients to actually show the fuck up.

Now, I would like to think that the majority of you hobbyist in this community are true to your word when you make arrangements to see a lady. That being said. I want those of you who think paying a deposit is absurd to think again when contacting REPUTABLE local ladies.

So now I want to engage the LADIES in the next breath.

How do we confirm a deposit without giving up a banking name through an e-transfer. Understanding that this does put certain strain on us, no matter the situation. Married or otherwise.

One way around this, I would suggest. Is building a community here. We already have the platform in PERB. That being said. I have come to learn what those monthly costs are substantial to the ladies, so. I understand the apprehension from providers to pay advertising cost. Leolist costs are minimal per ad in comparison. A reputable community would also bring reputable travelling ladies, if they knew they could market elsewhere other than Leolist. I would hazard a guess here. Reputable ladies would rather pay $100/ month to generate reputable clients, rather than be dealt the shit show $10 (estimated) per ad on Leolist.

For those of you who want to shit all over my theories or experience as a hobbyist. Just don’t.

I want to hear from likeminded hobbyist’s and providers. I have a few ideas how we can grow a solid community here.

You pretty much summed it up pretty good Seamac. Seeing as the topic of deposits and advertising is constantly discussed in regards to this industry. Deposits are a common thing with providers, because
of fake bookings, cancelations, no shows and securing a multi hour/overnight engagement. You either pay it, or find an alternative provider who doesn't have that requirement.
An unsavoury response to being asked for a deposit (which is usually displayed in a reputable and seasoned providers ad or website) is to say that you have been scammed by sending a deposit in the past.
THAT, dear Sir is tasteless, not our fault and assuming that the reputable provider you chose to contact is trying to scam you. We are not and you can simply bypass. UGH!
Basically, time is money and neither client, or provider likes to have their time wasted for absolutely nothing.
Easiest payment of a deposit varies to different providers. Personally, a prepaid gift card leaves no trail for a client and an easy deposit to the recipient, if carefully accepted and promptly accepted.
Those who whine and complain about deposits openly on this review board are usually those REPUTABLE providers don't wish to spend their time with anyways.

For us inept technology dinosaurs. How does a prepaid gift card work.

Sorry. I know there are those (me included) who don't know how to do this

You're super cute. Well, there are a couple ways that I am used to and I'm sure you have noticed prepaid gift cards in all major stores, drug stores and even convenience stores. You may purchase them, have
them activated and you can scratch off the info, take a photo and text, or email the back of the card for the receiver to accept.
I enjoy Amazon gift cards and if you have the app on your phone, or Amazon account, you can email the recipient directly through email. Don't ask me if it leaves a trail, because I haven't gotten that far.

The ladies are running a business, they should manage the risks (e.g., no shows) in the best way they see fit. I don't mind paying a $50 deposit for a lady with a positive reputation in the community. I won't pay a deposit to a visiting lady and I am fine if that means I can't get an appointment. My expectations for absolutely ensuring privacy in the current environment is pretty much gone. This reinforces my desire to use services or independents that have earned a positive reputation. That is largely based on Perb commentary and reviews.

As I also just learned, you can change the way your name appears in an e-transfer for the deposit, then change it back right away to your own name. This can keep it anonymous with the provider, though it will still show on your banking records if that's an issue.

Anything electronic can be tracked. Especially money.
The only thing non traceable is cash. Gold and silver.

You could probably pay cash for a gift card in a store, photograph the information and email the photo to the lady. You would have to ask ahead of time which store the lady likes to shop at. And of course, any email is traceable if someone wants to put in enough effort.

Just being silly: put a fifty dollar bill in a ziplock bag, hide it under a rock in a park, and tell the lady where to find it.:LOL:

If I'm booking ahead, I do my best to identify a very reputable SP and then act with reasonable discretion but don't go to extreme measures to hide my identify.

Otherwise, I go to a walk-in shop and pay cash. However, even that doesn't guarantee anonymity, in these days of omnipresent security cameras and face recognition tools.

I'm not sure if I am able to respond here with my lack of advertising history with perb (please delete if not allowed)


Regarding deposits, I have heard of several anonymous ways to receive deposits, as a donation to the provider's wishtender (anonymous CC payment or use a CC gift card) or through Amazon (although less ideal as it's a limiting payment) but would recommend anticipating additional screening protocols with an anonymous deposit for many providers (me included)

Also I *wish* LL was only $10 for an ad and that was it, it can be double that per- day - you advertise.

For myself I was able to change my name for e-transfers through my mobile baking app.

alternatively and for the most part I request anonymous email gift cards. They are purchased online and the only information I see is the name you choose to include in the gift card which could be an alias! Some examples of anonymous gift cards purchase online include:

sephora
Lululemon
Nordstrom canada
Holt renfrew Canada.

These provide anonymity on both ends!

I have totally done the ziploc under a rock thing lol. The girl ended up being pretty cool and i saw her few more times without deposit.
