Check out the message on his rentboy ad.

 

NOTE: He has changed his ad since I originally posted. He had a picture of a check from a client that had insufficient funds and he was ranting about this client in his message. He has now changed it.

Who Takes a Check Nowadays?

 

Is taking payment in a check something that ever happens? I can't imagine it being okay for either party....The site posting is quite funny though as long as you're not that guy!

[BaronArtz]

This has been extensively discussed on the Muscle Service Station forum. Apparently, the person whose name appears on the checks has made a reputation of paying escorts with checks that subsequently bounce. He then refuses to pay, or only pays a minimal amount of the total amount due. This is what the allegation is.

 

My point would be be that it's foolish to accept payment by check, except maybe from very trusted regular clients.

Damn this "Working Guy" and his Honest Warning to Any and All "Turns Me On"

 

I'm thinking that he also is a Hunk in Bed!

 

And YES I know a few Working Guys who unfortunately took "Rubber" over the years and I ain't talking Condums either!

We frequently see, on this site, comments about how escorts should go to extreme lengths to respect and to protect the privacy of clients. Well in this case I’m with the escort. It appears the client played his shitty little game once too often and with the wrong escort.

Now if Angelo kisses and likes mutual oral I’m ready to sign up for a get together on his next visit to So Ca. His body is just my type.

[JackTwist]

I'm just saying...

 

His photos are sexy, but it seems pretty foolish to waste his entire Rentboy ad space dissing a client who screwed him over. Shouldn't an experienced escort know better than to accept a check from a total stranger in an unfamiliar town and then be indignant and angry when the check bounces? It's terrible that someone ripped-off the poor guy, but the text in his ad doesn't necessarily reflect positively on his level of intelligence either. I wish the guy better luck in the future and hope he can move on, chalking it up as a hard life-lesson learned.

Unless an escort demands cash up-front, he has no way of knowing whether a client actually has the funds on hand to pay for a session. If the client does not have sufficient cash, the escort has two options: leave unpaid or leave with a check.

 

This escort's vocabulary issues aside, writing bad checks is against the law. That's why so many merchants have signs explaining that people who write bad checks will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They usually turn the check over to a collection agency or a check guarantor like TeleCheck. If they can't collect, the checkwriter will be in a huge world of financial hurt. And well they should be.

Bad Checks

 

A sufficient number of bad checks small claims suits generates an interest by the LA County District Atty. And David could wind up in Fradulent Checks Financial School sponsored by the DA.

 

That's Mr Cooley's Financial Crimes Diversion Program. And it doesn't matter for what services the check was written, only that the bank did not honor it due to Insufficient Funds.

 

If you take a check, be willing to file the Small Claims suit. It costs $30 to file.

Not a good idea to go to the DA, or court, with a bad check for prostitution services. That is why the client knows he can get away with it. The Rentboy ad is probably his best revenge, and guess what, it probably got him more attention than an ordinary ad would have. English is obviously not his first language, so we need to cut him some slack. That probably also was part of his naive acceptance of

Years Ago for those who remember Rentboy had a "Comment Page" that sometimes was interesting to follow until One Wack Job to Many (as has happened around here) showed up! Things like this were mentioned!

 

The bottom line "Working Guys" ARE NOT the only people to have taken Bad Checks! Unfortunately it can happen to ANYONE with a Trusting Nature!

 

So Best to always learn from others mistakes especially IF they are a "Hunky Working Guy" like this one!

Unfortunately that idea doesn't hold very much water. Are you sure that you would want to testify under oath that you "broke the law?" That law goes both ways, and your going to have problems proving your contention if he didn't break the law.

 

On the other hand, the proof for his allegation is in his hand. That sinking feeling you'd have is the start of a very slippery slope.

It doesn't matter what the check is for, a bad check is a bad check. That being said, he would need to deposit the check in his bank account and have it returned "Non-Sufficient Funds" to prove that the funds were not on deposit. It would be tough to prove that the bank teller told him there were no funds available when he attempted to cash it at the checkwriter's bank.

[Guest Merlin]

While technically it may be irrelevant what the check was given for, it will be difficult to go to the DA or Court without being asked. If you refuse to tell, the DA will probably go no further. If you say it was for prostitution, he may choose to pursue that as well.

[instudiocity]

Not a good idea?

 

I don't see why it's not a good idea to go to the DA? Admitting to prostitution or admitting to solicitation for prostitution are not the issues.

 

It's a bad check. It has been dishonored by the bank. The circumstances surrounding receiving the check aren't at issue. The check writer wrote the check. The bank dishonored it. The check receiver has a claim.

 

Another idea is to submit the check to the bank For Collection Purposes Only. Then the check amount rides against the zero balance bank account until the deadbeat makes a deposit - at that point the bank pays the check. It's sorta like having the check waiting on a deposit to hit.

Why would the guy have to state that he was being paid for prostitution? If he was asked to state what goods or services were provided in exchange for money, he could state that the money was paying for the time he spent with the client. He would not have to describe what they did together. There is no law against oaying someone for their time.
