Everything You Need to Know About Escorts and Deposits

If you're new to booking a companion, you might be surprised—or even hesitant—when asked to pay a deposit. It’s a common concern: Is this safe? Is it normal? How do I know I’m not getting scammed? Let’s break it down so you know exactly what to expect and how to protect yourself while booking responsibly.

💳 Why Escorts Require Deposits

Just like any other professional who offers scheduled services (think hairstylists, photographers, or private chefs), many escorts require a non-refundable deposit to confirm a booking. It shows you’re serious and respectful of their time. Unfortunately, no-shows are a real issue in this industry—and a deposit helps minimize those risks. When clients late cancel or no show, the escort has not only lost valuable time preparing for the appointment. She's also lost out on time that she could have booked someone who was serious. Deposits are your "skin in the game". It's an insurance policy that our time wont be wasted.

🛡️ Is It Safe to Send a Deposit?

It depends on who you’re sending it to. A reputable provider will be upfront about:

• Their screening process

• Accepted payment methods

• Clear communication and boundaries

Look for consistency in photos, writing style, and online presence. A real provider will have references, reviews, or a verified ad on reputable platforms. If you're unsure, trust your instincts—if something feels off, it probably is.

✅ Signs You’re Dealing with a Legit Provider

• They communicate clearly and professionally

• They have a solid online footprint (ads, reviews, maybe social media)

• They offer secure deposit options like Cash App, Venmo, or gift cards—but never pushy

• They are upfront about screening and boundaries

🚩 Red Flags to Watch For

• Too-good-to-be-true rates If someone is offering champagne-level service at fast-food prices, it’s probably a scam. Quality companionship has a price tag.

• OnlyFans-style photos or stolen Instagram images (If the photos look like they came from a social media influencer, they're probably fake.)

• No screening whatsoever A legit provider always prioritizes safety—for both of you. If they don’t ask for screening or skip questions about your ID/reference info, it’s a HUGE red flag.

• No consistent online presence

🤝 The Bottom Line

Reputable escorts ask for deposits to protect their time—not to scam you. If you're polite, professional, and book with someone credible, a deposit is a standard part of making sure everything runs smoothly.
