I contacted "Shavonne" through the email address in her AdultSearch advertisement' http://adultsearch.com/alaska/anchorage//female-escorts/971184 She initially seemed pretty reasonable, although she emphasized that she needed to be sure that a potential client was "serious" and wasn't wasting her time. She said that in order to be sure that a new client was serious, she required half of the first appointment fee in advance. Perhaps that should have been a red flag, but I went ahead and sent her $150 by the means she specified.

About three hours went by without any more messages from her, so I emailed again asking if this was a ripoff and were we going to make an appointment or not? She replied very rudely that "something came up" and that she had "bigger things to think about than your dick." So, okay, I emailed back and asked when we could set an appointment but got no reply.

The next evening she emailed me and told me that she was having trouble making her rent and could I please send the balance of the donation in advance of the appointment. In return, she promised me an hour of free time and "better services than usual." At this point, I began to smell a rat and I told her that I would do that if she would meet me somewhere in town face-to-face so I could know she was really the person represented in the ad. Her response was very rude and insulting and she said that any man who "would take advantage of my situation to meet me" didn't deserve to meet her. Bear in mind that I still didn't have an appointment. She could easily have gotten the remainder of the donation simply by scheduling an hour and showing up, but I was willing to risk it provided that I could see her, know that she was a real person, and judge for myself whether she seemed trustworthy.

When I refused to transfer the other $150 to her without meeting her, she became very hostile, said a number of rude things, and culminated by telling me to "fuck off." I very much doubt I will ever see my money again.

For all I know, "Shavonne" is a sweaty fat guy with some pictures he pulled off the internet. I strongly recommend that you just steer clear of her, but under no circumstances should you send her money before she actually shows up at your door. Learn from my experience!
