If escort defrauds you, any recourse

[Guest badboy11]

I hired an escort in Atlanta to escort here in my city. He didnt board the plane and wont answer my calls or emails. The ticket was in his name and I bought it. Is there anything I can do? Am I just screwed??

YOU are screwed. . But if the ticket was on a creditcard, you can dispute the charged BUT you would have alot of "splainin" to do Lucy. Better to let it go. LIVE AND LEARN..... Keep in mind that alot of these "guys" see us clients as "easy prey and targets" cause we are thinking with our dicks and not our brains. They make a lucrative business out of scamming guys for the money. Always do your research BEFOREHAND....

I feel like singing "Bob-A-LOOOOOOO!!!" but thats the common way to get one here for escorting. There was NO review. I guess I can review him here cant I??? So,meone needs to be sure NOT to contact this guy

Seems to me that reporting a scam like this does not violate Daddy's rule against reviewing masseurs or escorts. In fact, I think that a primary purpose of this chat room is to alert potential victims to this. If I were you, I'd give his name and number to everyone who reads this. You might also post a comment on Daddy's Reviews. That's what I'd do.

I don't believe that you can review a no-show. The best you can do is identify him here in the MB.

[+ glutes]

Name names. I will add him to the Mini Madoff list!

[Decatur Guy]

As an Atlanta area resident, I'd like to know the name.

Charlie.. I'm thinking even that can be tricky around here lately!

 

BUT Anyways..The guy did not board the plane? So where is the ticket? Why not settle this with the C/C Co being the purchaser of the ticket?

You are not the first nor the last. Defrauding is tough to do for an illegal act. There have been news stories where individuals have gone to the police to complain about the bad drugs they purchased from the local pusher. That did not go well for the person trying to issues the complaint.

 

There have been numerous stories about gentlemen not showing up, sometimes the same one three times, just check a thread about one of yesterdays "recommended reviews," from a couple months past.

 

It has happened to me, several years ago with a gentleman I hired previously. I suspected something was up when all of his ads were gone a few days before we were to meet. I tried calling him but no response. I chalked it up to the risks of this pursuit. For me the airline fee was in fact the cheapest part of the deal, far less than the fee and a bit less than the hotel. Now that is not always the case but look at it if he is that unreliable, you saved the fee.

[zeferrelli]

name him somewhere, at least!

You may not get your money back, but you probably have enough information about him to make his life miserable. There's nothing wrong with giving a little push to karma.

Well, first of all, you should give him a negative review on The Escort Review or at least hear on this forum. We often hear of "no shows" and it alerts others to the reliability and honesty of this escort. And, for goodness sake, name names!

 

Second, as the purchaser of the ticket, I assume that you had or have all the airline info available? If so, you should have called the airline and asked for a credit in your name. Make up an excuise, illness, accident, anything but be persisent.

 

Sorry for your disappointment and this bad experience.

Ed, you are dismissing the fact that the scort may have indeed used the ticket, or cashed it in. This can easily be determined by calling the airlines.....

Firstly, having been taken myself by a "grifter" some years ago, you have my sincere sympathy in this matter, and, although of little compensation to you, emotionally or materially, you are one among many in this particular scenario. As to obtaining a remedy for your injury, you can avail yourself of the judicial system by filing a criminal complaint, theft by deception, or a civil complaint, fraud misrepresentation and deceit. Unfortunately, in pursuing the matter in that manner, you run the risk of exposing yourself to criminal prosecution for soliciting and promoting prostitution. Too, in my experience, the rentboy's "defense" will be that the ticket was a "gift", and given that you have no written contractual agreement to evidence the thing as a business transaction, the matter comes down to "he said, you said". and, of course, "creditability" which, in this particular situation, involves, plainly put, a "prostitute" and a"john". Stand experience a cocktail, and, by the old homily, "pick yourself up and carry on". The "picking up" can be a hard thing, but the "carrying on" and can be a lot of fun down the road.

Just thinking aloud here. A companion exchanges emails with a gentleman about a trip, gives that gentleman their real name after which a ticket is bought and then proceeds to piss that gentleman off by not showing up and not communicating? Seems that goes against most companions desire to keep their companionship offerings low key. With search engines, Facebook and Myspace it's a bad idea. I guess one has to balance how aggressive they want to track down the companion for repayment and going over the top and losing their soul in the process. Others have asked, and here's another, what the escort's name is. If nothing else, providing their name here will increase the usefulness of this board which increases membership and information sharing and likely means no member will ever be taken by the mean companion again.

With all due respect I am not understanding why the name is not forthcoming.

[robberbaron4u]

Rentboy: "So what are you going to do? Sue me?" Unfortunately, the "escorting" is a business enterprise which attracts more than its "fair share" of grifters.

[Guest Connoisseur]

Evil, evil thought - there are worse things than litigation when a companion wants their companionship offerings quiet.... But exposing them can perhaps be more mean than them wasting your money - hence the thought you may not want to join the dark side yourself.

[rossthebosssf]

In my experience, I think it's best to buy full priced flexible tickets. Though more expensive in the short term, they're a bargain in the long run if you tend to import.

 

Regarding the Escort's professional name, I feel it's ok to disclose, but stalking him on Facebook, MySpace, etc. looking to reveal his real name is going too far. Though his behavior is not what it should have been, there is still a mutual respect of both clients as well as escort's privacy. It could come back to haunt you if not careful.

Why do you refer to him as an escort? He's a thief. If he's successful this time, he'll steal from someone else.

I'm guessing the escort has enough information to deduce the client's identity as well. If so, any retaliation might be repaid in kind.

[Guest Connoisseur]

While difficult, maybe the companion should contact the gentleman and explain: "I had an unexpected problem arise, let me make it up to you if we reschedule" or "I had to stop providing companionship but know I cost you money so let me send you $10 a week until you are paid what you are out, or $10 a month, or...something which allows the issue to move into history" or "Even though I've left the business and can never repay you the first class ticket cost to Paris, come visit me in nowhere America and I'll show you the time of your life (but we can't stay at my Grandma's house)". All of these are options, and maybe there are some others, in lieu of pissing the gentleman off to the point where exposing the companion for the robber AKA executive companion they are to many others. Not saying this is what should be done, just offering some ideas. The gentleman's anger really is that he was "taken" in his view and shown a complete lack of respect. Efforts to make amends by the companion restores the gentleman's fiscal self esteem - some at least.

True. But he’d be able to guess who the client is if a negative review is posted. There are ways to make things difficult for the thief and do it anonymously. We don’t know if the OP is this thief’s only victim.

With the impact of global warming, I doubt if hell is going to freeze over anytime soon.

Good point, it depends if the gentleman's identity details are known before they meet in person. What have others experienced? Do guys you bring to see you know your real name before you actually meet face to face?
