SeaMan318 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2023 I'm newly back in the game, an old school old guy Recently I've encountered providers requesting payment by giftcard,or applecard or other type of prepaidcard !!! I've walked away in every case expecting them to be a scam! My question is, is this an actual thing now? And if so why? Or is my scam spider since dead o ?

justhavingfun 966 Report post Posted May 10, 2023 Deposits are definitely common place now for a couple of reasons. It provides a safety layer as they now have details on who they are meeting and it weeds out time wasters.. I'm sure there are other reasons but those come to mind first. I've been sending deposits by etransfer for years everywhere I travel it just seems that NB is a little behind the practice. I've never had issue with sending a deposit by etransfer, gift card ect. Established providers with websites and multiple recos on sites like lyla are the only times I send a transfer. The random LL ads asking for transfers just avoid. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tompickle 203 Report post Posted May 10, 2023 Do not give gift cards or e-transfer, unless she's well reviewed on here. Do your research and you should be able to find some decent girls here 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petraluxurygfe 112 Report post Posted May 13, 2023 Many providers require a deposit via e-transfer. No one does deposits by prepaid cards. Your Spidey senses were correct in that situation. There are a lot of scams and unfortunately Leo does not care to do anything about it. Always check for recommendation's. Stay safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
