DEPOSIT & REFUND TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Since the beginning of 2020, I have been asking more and more people to kindly pay a deposit. Unfortunately they have become a bit of a requirement due to too many people making “fantasy bookings” and not showing up. This is a waste of my time as well as a loss of income for me. Being self employed means I depend on people being dependable and showing up for their booking or at least cancelling their booking, not just leaving me sitting there all ready to see them they don’t show.

Not all bookings require a deposit but longer ones or ones that involve preparation or more than 1 person do. I have listed on my rates page which services need a deposit and how much.

Paying a deposit establishes trust between us and gives the person paying the deposit motivation to keep their booking time. Of course a booking time can be moved, along with the deposit but generally it’s to show me you won’t mess me around and I know what I am doing that day with my schedule.

Let me break this down a it more for you to help you understand what type of people waste my time and how I weed them out by asking for a deposit:

A time waster is someone who contacts a sex worker repeatedly usually over long periods of time – days, weeks, months and sometimes years – asking to make a booking but usually ghosting when it comes time to choose the time or leaving it. Basically they dangle the carrot of a booking and I may have spent hours texting with them (collectively over time) with endless mindless banter only for no booking to happen and my business made no money for that emotional labor. Known time wasters are now given less time and consideration and are required to pay a deposit to secure the booking.

No show clients: these are people who make a booking and have no intention of showing up at the allocated time. This means I have wasted not only the time on the phone with them, but also the time it took getting ready for the booking and the fact I most likely could have booked someone else in their time – so again my business makes no money for my effort.

Address Collectors: these are predators who simply make bookings to find out a sex workers address. For what reason? Your guess is as good as mine! We’ve never truly worked out the “why” of this type of person. I have always feared it is to come and rob my house or cause harm to me or my property or for some other nefarious or violent reason. I have heard a rumour that it’s a sport for some men to collectively share sex workers addresses through their punter networks.

I give all of the above known types of people one shot at making a booking with me and it’s contingent on a deposit being paid. If they reject this – they are never offered a booking again with me and all messages get a “thanks but no thanks” or “I’m fully booked” or I simply ignore them altogether and never respond again or block their number.

In regards to TOURS – let me explain why I would like a deposit from you to secure your booking: Touring costs me approximately $500 a day to be away from home on tour plus my expenses incurred at home. I have minimum amount of time to make maximum amount of income. I need all my available appointment times to be booked by people who will most definitely show up as I don’t raise my rates on Tour, my rates are the same as my Brisbane rates – which is a real bargain in some cities.

Regular/returning clients at home or on tour are exempt from paying a deposit as you are well trusted by me until such time you fuck it up – then you will need to pay a deposit to book a future time.

WILL YOU RUN OFF WITH MY DEPOSIT?
The short answer is no. I understand that there are sex workers out there who do indeed run off with your deposit as a scam and this sucks and I’m truly sorry if this has happened to you, it’s certainly not in the spirit of what sex work is about.

With a little bit of research in helping clients of mine look into a rip off, I have found that much of the time it is men who’ve placed fake photos of super hot women on ads as a scam to steal your money. It’s pretty easy to spot them as they tend to use AI photos these days. They get away with it because those ripped off won’t report them to the police due to embarrassment, so they keep getting away with it. At a minimum, please report their profiles to the advertising site, so they can remove them from the platform. It is fraud and yes you can report them to the police – even if it’s just an anonymous intel report to crime stoppers: PH: 1800 333 000 or Police Link: 131 444

As a long time sex worker this is my advice to you is: don’t pay a deposit higher than you can afford to lose.

My other piece of advice is to google the phone number of your chosen sex worker and check them out. See that they have an extensive online presence including long term social media and reviews and that they have an advertisement on a prominent ad site that also verifies the advertisers identity like Scarlet Blue, Real Babes, Escorts and Babes, Available Angels, Dakota Dice and Ivy Societe. If they don’t have a decent online presence – say they just have the one or two ads on Locanto or Secret Hostess –  ask questions of them, ask to provide links to other ad site mentioned above or social media. Scammers will soon lose interest in scamming you if they think you are on to them.

BUT I CAN’T PAY A DEPOSIT AS MY PARTNER WILL SEE IT ON OUR BANK STATEMENT!
Yeah you can still pay a deposit, there’s more than your bank account available to you. Think outside the square.

Cash deposit ATM’s are everywhere these days. Or novel thought – walk into a bank and make the deposit over the counter *gasp* I know that’s old school and requires you to exercise your legs but being able to do this will show me that you’re committed to the booking and that you go that extra mile for your pleasure.

Or how about an e-giftcard or Beem?

What is Beem?
Beem is owned by the big 4 banks as a way of instantly transferring  money securely between people. On both parties bank accounts it shows up as “Beem deposit or Beem refund”. Usernames and account names do not show up on either parties bank account. It is a safe and anonymous way to pay your deposit or service fee.

If you still don’t trust it after the information I’ve supplied below from banks and Canstar, well then that’s just you being paranoid.

Here is are links so you can see for yourself what Beem is about:

Cancellations with 2 hours or less notice before your booking are non-refundable but can be transferred to a future booking.
