Advice from the community/No good deed goes unpunished

I know where she lives but would never post on her doorstep unannounced/un-invited; I would forget about the 2 hunno's and move-on; if you identify her, would be for the good of the rest of the community/maybe prevent another from the same fate but be ready for her to respond.....with a different version of the story.

I believe by your post you are suggesting the op identify the so-called guilty party. If that is in fact what you believe, I suggest you do the same..

You have to post an alert. She took 200 bucks from you, didn't pay it back, didn't make it right, doesn't appear she will attempt to make it right, is ignorning messages, text, and phone calls ( over A MONTH AGO no less). Yet you won't reveal her name... Boggles my farkin mind...

I agree...

WTF difference does it make. It's just another "he said she said" another exiciting episode of how the Hobby world turns...and turns...and..

If he posts her name, it won't matter a week from now.

This is exactly the reason you clowns keep getting taken. SHe steals money from you but you dont want to out her, hell even if you did half the dummys on the board would call her for a date. Seriously what was the OP's purpose for even posting, he had no intention of outing the person, was it just to here everyone say "ah to bad man, feel for you blah blah blah". You just as big a problem as she is, by noting outing her she will suck the next sucker dry. While outing may send some of these guys her way, those with brains will know to avoid her. I dont know man if someone stole $200.00 from me, I 'd stick a ice pic in their head, the fact that you wont even out her makes me doubt whether it even happened.

I agree. We should stop posting alerts and reviews too since the world is going to end in December. What good some info on a provider do us anyway?

If it turns out to be a girl i like, it probably wont stop me from seeing her but i will pay attention. If it is a girl i was strongly thinking about seeing, i would probably drop her down the list and see if any other people had problems. If it was a girl i was thinking about trying if who i realy want is unavailible, i would probably take care of things myself.

My money and time matter to me so i appeciate information. Even though it cohld turn out to be a he said she said thing, patterns will show up over time.

Every time I read one of these stories on here I think the same thing. I dont feel bad for the OP at all-its like touching a flame. You know the shits hot, and will more than likely burn you, but you go ahead anyway?

These gals know that very few of their customers are going to follow any sort of action if they renege on their end of the deal. Fuck that. Keep it professional, and never let some queer personal BS impede your judgment.



.....thats all I got.

Truer words have rarely been spoken and "clowns" is a much kinder descriptive term than I would have used.

We have discussed and cussed this topic many, many, many times and what the OP did was nothing more than a teaser as have been the numerous other, "I need your advice" threads regarding the exact same subject.

The only thing missing from the OP's post was the littany of the number of texts, emails, PM's, phone calls, etc., he has sent hoping for a response, but alas, none arrived. Go figure!

Either put her name in the post or don't tell the story at all.

I know most of the background on this situation, as the OP and I have communicated about this. I recommended that 1) he e-mail her and wait for a response (she did not); 2) do not go to her house - he could be considered a stalker; 3) he post her name to advise others of the situation - but he could be attacked by the WKs on the board.

Needless to say, I know the provider to which the OP is referring. She has not participated in any of her normal board activities for over a month and has not responded to e-mails in that same amount of time. I think that he needs to post her name - if she's still providing, she may respond; if she's gone UTR, she may or may not respond; if she's retired, then it won't matter anyway.

Here is something that everyone needs to understand and consider. I have been around this business a long time and seen many come and go. Usually when a provider has reached the end of her time in the hobby, you can see it in their actions, they start No showing, giving poor performance and then they start doing rip off's. This is why it is even more important that when an established provider starts acting different then their norm that the community be alerted. It is usually a sign that their star has burned out and they are leaving the hobby at least mentally and they no longer care about their reputation or who they hurt.

I agree and I think we had some threads and posting regarding this matter recently on a provider or 2 here locally
