Learned My Lesson

[+ Gar1eth]

Well it was all it took with me apparently. Years of hiring and this was my first time getting ripped off. Oddly enough I had started getting paranoid about him when he insisted on calling me on the hotel phone rather than my cellphone. As I was waiting I started worrying that I was being set up in a LE sting operation. As soon as he came in, looking hotter than hell, and immediately stopped down I knew I relaxed as I knew I wasn't getting arrested. Little did I know what was going to happen..................

 

 

I understand what you are referring to. But I don’t know what exactly LE stands for.

OK here's a follow-up on why I chose to not write a review. I made a stupid mistake of using my company cell phone to contact him. I usually have a burner phone for when I'm in the states but I'd lost it. A Google search of that phone will lead to my business profile and also another side business I have. Whereas this guy probably doesn't know anything about Daddy's (he's not reviewed) I do know that Daddy will reach out to him for a reply. That's a match to a fire that I'm not willing to light.

 

Also, I note that his profile doesn't show up on A4A anymore in Chicago. I don't remember his screen name so I can't search to see if he's in other cities.

 

So lesson learned.

 

One thing I also learned, from a member here to whom I had reached out is to use Google Voice as a way of using my company phone without it being traceable. I still haven't been able to make it work yet. I think it's because I'm out of the country. It's not saying that specifically but it's also not working.

We never actually spoke on the phone. The one time he called me it was on the hotel phone which I thought was odd as I haven't used a hotel phone in years.

 

The real killer (beyond losing the $$$) is that he was really good. I mean really really good. I was definitely contemplating a repeat.

Story is kind of worthless if we don't know who to avoid!!

Would an app like Whatsapp, or something similar if that isn’t the app, let you have a subsidiary number?

 

Or this article purports to have a workaround for Google voice if you are outside the USA

Not really if you view it as a cautionary tale to everyone reading that even if you feel like you are "clicking" with someone it doesn't mean that that person is honest. It isn't like there is only one potential thief in the world to avoid or be cautious around. If the OP named someone here, that information would probably be removed with the admonishment to submit a review. Probably fair policy on the part of the website, even though it certainly frustrates some clients.

 

My take away from this is something I've practiced for a long time anyway: Never get out your wallet in a situation like this. If I'm having someone to my place, I have the cash I need readily accessible and then additional cash somewhere else that's also readily accessible in case I want to tip or extend an appointment. If I'm going to someone else's place, I only bring with me the cash I will need -- the actual anticipated fee in one pocket and then any extra in another pocket.

HUH? Let my try this. Don't get gas at your local chain. The rip you off after the sale...get my point? I've been hiring for over 20 years...probably around 70 or so escorts .....split between overnights and hourly....NEVER had an issue...but I hide my wallet....so I would like to know who to AVOID!

@tanman4u are you accepting and answering PMs about who he is?.....you may PM me if you'd rather not answer in public!

As has already been repeated, the OP cannot identify the guy anyway because he cannot find his A4A ad in his area and doesn't remember his screen name. Besides, my point wasn't to negate the value of identifying the offender but simply to reply to the suggestion that this thread is "worthless" unless it has the name of the perpetrator. I listed the reason why it isn't a useless thread. It might not be useful to you because you are already taking the same precautions I take, but we cannot assume that everyone is as protective of their wallets as we are.

@tanman4u are you accepting and answering PMs about who he is?.....you may PM me if you'd rather not answer in public!

If I could find this guy online again I would happily be PM'ing out the name. I even checked nearby states thinking I would find him somewhere there.

I too am generally very cautious. I take out the money I'm planning on needing, usually hide a tip nearby in case he's that good (he was), and hide all jewelry, passport, even identifying ID tags on bags or boxes that may be in the room. I dropped my guard because we (or at least I) had such a good time. I pulled out the wallet to give him an even greater tip than I had planned (didn't plan on what ultimately he got of course), and didn't think to secure it. We were doing a bunch of planning when we could get together again during the weekend.

 

I wanted so much to believe that he couldn't have done this that after I texted him about it and he said "you were with me the entire time there's no way I could have done that" I went back to the room and searched it from top to bottom, knowing deep down that there's no way I would have pulled all of the cash out of my wallet and left it somewhere else. Maid hadn't been there. No one else had been in the room. Nothing else was touched. As was pointed out upthread I guess I'm lucky all I lost was cash as he could have just taken my entire wallet and I would have had to jump through all the ID/CCs etc., hoops.

I disagree with those saying that this thread is worthless without more details.

 

It could happen to me, the boys are charming and it is easy to low the guard. This thread is a good reminder. Thank you, @tanman4u

Was visiting the states (Chicago) last weekend and was looking forward to doing some hiring. I'd been chatting off and on with a couple of guys on RM and A4A. When I finally saw that my schedule would allow I checked online and discovered a guy on A4A whose profile I really liked.

 

He was very communicative and was available to head to my hotel pretty much right away.

 

He was awesome. We were naked within seconds or his arrival and I was face down ass up minutes after that. Not everyone's way of doing a hookup but with a limited amount of time it was great for me.

 

He was a very hot looking and exceptionally good top guy. As soon as we were done I was already talking to him about re-hiring him at least once if not twice over the weekend.

 

I already had his fee out in plain site. As we were wrapping up I even grabbed my wallet out of a drawer and added in a pretty good tip and told him that was what I was doing.

 

THEN........

 

After saying goodbye and my promising that would be hiring him again during the weekend he left.

 

A few minutes later I grabbed my wallet to head out and alas NOT ONE DOLLAR was left in it. Zero. There had been somewhere around $700 left in it.

 

Since I had pulled out the wallet from it's hiding place to tip him, and then left it laying out (as I trusted him by then as he had been soooooo good), and hadn't left my room nor had anyone else come into it there was only one person who could have emptied my wallet.

 

I texted him saying "nice work slick" and he answered "excuse me". Through several emails he continued to claim that he hadn't taken anything and that I was there and would have seen it.....blah blah.

 

I'm pretty sure I remember exactly when it happened. I had already paid and tipped him and he said "you want some more I can go again" to which I said of course. This time he maneuvered me around so I was back face down on the bed with him standing behind me and the desk behind him. I heard him rummaging around and assumed that he was grabbing lube or something. Turns out what he was grabbing was every cent I had.

 

Live and learn. I normally keep everything like cash, wallet, jewelry, etc., pretty well hidden or locked up but we had gotten along so well that I didn't think it was necessary to hide the wallet again after tipping him.

 

He was good enough that he would have probably gotten all of that cash at some point over the weekend anyway but in this case he became a very well paid escort for an hour.

 

It wasn't his first time doing this. LOL

 

Don't worry, it could happen to anybody and we're sorry it happened to someone as nice as you.

 

At least give him a negative review...
