Tactile Daddy Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Just a warning to all providers in the San Fernando Valley area of LA. I had a charming client arrive last night for a massage. He had been trying to get on my table for several days and finally our schedules aligned. At the end of the session he was very appreciative, asked many questions about my availability for scheduling another session in the coming weeks. His affable demeanor, charming nature and good looks all culminated with, oh I forgot my phone in my car to use venmo, let me go get it. Against my quick moment of distrust of this, I felt oh he seems trustworthy. He went to the car and never returned, nor my texts. 🙄 #mybad He goes by the name of Antoine. Probably around 34. French Moroccan, originally from Toulouse. Around 6', faux hawk, worked out model very good looks, slightly shy, self described restaurant manager & former dancer. Said he originally lived in Van Nuys, but now lives in Studio City. https://rentmasseur.com/GreatHandsLA Edited March 16, 2023 by Tactile Daddy Misspelling + robear, ketut, TorontoDrew and 5 others 1 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he will not get his lost money resulting from filing a police report, the thief might learn of the police report and come forward and pay Taktile his earned money. That would teach the crook a lesson. Capitano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no photos of the client for us to see. So I'm not sure how he can look like a dickhead?

When the commenter Deadlift1 wrote the phrase "looks like," most readers assumed that he was talking about an image of the client. Next time he should try something like "seems like" and everybody will read it correctly. 😇 coriolis888 and Pd1_jap 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scumbag ingratiated himself to you and then stiffed you - the betrayal of your trust is way worse than the loss of the money. I hope Karma gets him big time!

He is exactly who he says he is and a restaurant manager. Close by me. I look forward to walking in for cocktails.

In addition to asking him if he lost his phone, I hope you will ask him to pay you for the services you rendered to him that he ran off without paying (an illegal act). You now know who he is and where he can be found. You might want to suggest that you prefer to not get the police involved but you will if he does not pay you. People who do things like that deserve to be reported to the police. Tactile Daddy, Marc in Calif and Mr. Jones 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
