It's a common scam practice within Latinas which I've experienced in Cuba and Mexico. I had picked up a chica from a club in Havana 100 CUC for while night, once arrived, asked if I can pay her upfront high I did then right after the did she received a call and started making up making a story saying her friend got into a huge trouble and she got to go take care of it and she will be back within an hour! By then I knew where it's going! Never seen her that night.
Next day I called her stating I would like to see her again without even mentioning last night but this time I offered her only 50 CUC for 2 shot. She took the bait, came to my place, asked for the money upfront and this time dared to ask for taxi money which I did. After 1 shot she started saying she needs to go to take care of family problem. I then decided to turn the table and told her sure but I took her bag, emptied on the bed, took the money I gave her and told her to leave. Guess who's in shock now! And just out of kindness, I told her that she will get the money back if she gives me 2 x more shot and no discussion this time. Well, rest to say, she turned into a fake GF for next 3 hrs.
Now, in Cuba it's different and you as a tourist has lots of power which in other countries not so much. Again, don't matter what country it is, simple principle applies, money after the deed. I even tells upfront, money after the deed, take it or leave!
Besides all the arguments, I understand how Joshayek felt and I'm sorry for his experience and I get that he will never get his money back but it's unfortunately the collateral damage of Mongering. I'm sure we all experienced to a degree at least once.
[QUOTE=SrayDisc;2379995]After having done enough mongering across India and abroad, I can tell you giving money upfront will never assure you of good service. It always makes the girl think she can get away, especially if it's an outcall. As a thumbrule, never give money in advance. If you do make sure she doesn't leave the room with the money till service is over. Let's get the basics, these girls are here to make money with minimal effort and count on the fact that they can get away with cheating when they can as none of these thins are legal. We need to safeguard our own interests. No SP ever takes responsibility of actions of the girl. So we are always on our own. I will also doubt any LE will help unless you know them or pay big money, plus you also risk loosing your secrecy going to LE. Just my two cents.[/QUOTE]
