I have not logged in for a long time but did this morning and viewed this post.
I have learned to be even more careful than suggested by Hughlongly.
I never ever make deposits nor send funds via email (Interac), I never ever show ID, I do not even bring ID or credit cards into the incall with me (unless it is a spa or someone I have visited prior), I never have a meetup at my home, I never talk about personal stuff, I never park my car right at the incall location (unless it is a large hotel). Most of the time I only visit MAs or SPs that are well reviewed on terb. On the rare occasion that I visit someone not yet reviewed, it is only someone at a spa, nowhere else.
There are just way too many scams out there.
