It is all about learning to say no.
[QUOTE=FunMan1;2263901]Last month I approached a pimp through locanto. He sent me few pics and I shortlisted 1, full night was decided for 7 k after bargain on WtApp, then I gave the guy my hotel address to meet me there and get the girl and get his money. When I called him to come at decided time, he asked me to come to a different place. I went to that place, he came in a van and asked me to come inside. I went inside, there were 2 girls siting already both ugly not matching the girl in the pic. He locked the van asked for money. I was scared I gave him 7 k immediately then he asked for 3 k more saying, this is just a security money that he will return after the service. I tried to bargain but he was adamant. Finally after giving him 10 k I left with one of the girl in an auto. That girl forced me to give another 1 k on our way and as soon as we were about to arrive hotel she asked the auto driver to stop the auto and left. I tried chasing her but then I was scared and realised that this was trap. They looted 11 k from me. I have heard that there are many frauds happening with people. Please learn from my mistake. After searching internet I found this only reliable community where genuine members help each other and share their experience. Unfortunately I have only this experience to tell you all for now. I would request any Member to help me connect with some genuine indie.[/QUOTE]This is a common practice.
What I do to tackle this is.
Whenever I approach a new SP.
1. I make sure the pics he send are not from previous frauds.
2. After finalizing the chick, warn him in a firm tone if the girl is not same, he will have a tough time.
3. With new SP, always call at a hotel where the management won't mind if a scene is created (Usually my friend's hotel in gurgaon).
4. When the chick arrives, I leave my phone and wallet at reception and go out with nothing but clothes (not even watch).
5. Ask them to show the girl by rolling down window, if they ask for money first or ask me to sit in, I plainly refuse at first and second attempt, leave at third attempt.
6. If the chick is not same, I immediately refuse and leave. (even if I like what is sent but not same, I still turn back so that I can negotiate with master SP).
7. Not a penny more than what was discussed in any circumstance.
P.S: Running more than 30 minutes late than designated time is also an indication of bad times ahead. I refuse under such cases as well.
