Pay upfront?

Hi. When booking an escort on Erobella via WhatsApp for an appointment the next day, she asked me to pay the appointment fee in advance via PayPal or Revolut. She said that for following appointments I could pay cash. Is this normal practice? Not sure I can trust this.

No it’s a scam unless you pay a registered agency. Or you get them to set a video phone chat. At least this way you get to see if they are the person in the picture.

It is not normal to pay before meeting.

Some escorts might want a deposit, especially if she has to travel to you.
But a deposit should only be a small sum.

NEVER pay a deposit for an incall or local outcall. It's an easy scam.

I insist on a deposit upfront because equally I've had my time wasted the other way. A small part of the total fee is all I ask and I would always want to turn up for the bigger prize! It's a two way process and some trust has to be applied at times. If a deposit has been paid and the escort doesn't show you can always contact your bank to complain and obtain your money back. I appreciate that this isn't everyone's desire but it is a layer of protection. There are some honest girls out here - give us a try!
