Deposits and outcalls

Do any of you take deposits for outcalls? Just a small amount like £20 to cover fuel and time getting to a place. I am worried that if i don't I will be stood up and I've wasted fuel and an hour of my time. Its inevitable at some point I'm sure but want to minimise the risk of it happening. Thanks

Yes when I started I did x

Do you not now because of repeated clients

I do esp if going out of your normal work area

But a client should treat a deposit for an incall as suspicious, right? I was just about to post about this.

I still do sometimes but yes it's usually because it's regulars now.
No @arcticflower. ANY escort can ask for a deposit if that is the way she chooses to run her business. If she has lots of reviews and an online presence then she is reputable. No proper escort is prepared to ruin her reputation to scam your deposit. Men get scammed when they don't do their research on the person they are meeting! Some weeks I consider asking for a deposit for all bookings due to timewasters.

There are so many time wasters on here. I feel bad asking for a deposit but feel I have to for outcalls because of time and fuel. I don't do incalls but can see why some would still want a deposit. You could have turned others away. I will only charge a deposit on first meet and it's minimal.

only give a deposit on outcalls a girl you meet before and has good reviews, use paypal too not BT .. it be madness to give any deposit to a new girl who u never met before for an outcall as just too many using it now to scam money from guys....

escorts talk about timewasters but most escorts here are the biggest scammers and timewasters, look how most double book and easy to blame clients for their own mess

I always ask for a deposit for an outcall its a no brainer, why wouldnt you. Your going to travel to a hotel or house and they may not be there. Also I ask for deposit only 30% if I have entertained you before. If you dont want to pay a deposit thats your loss, if these gents give a poor excuse like 'I dont want to be scammed or I will never see my money again excuse. You can see the reason why your asking for a deposits TW if there not prepared to take a risk not can you, just think about it.

I would only ask for a deposit for outcall to a client who I have never met before, regulars I do not and the same for incall - no deposit required.

The reason you wouldn't is because the client could easily find someone who poses less of a scam risk.
