Advice for the newbie..
Research and look for a provider who has reviews, a website and use your gddamn common sense..
I came across a post elsewhere where an op sees an ad for a higher end provider with no reviews or website and arranges to meet her in a NYC hotel. Upon arrival he meets her “partner” in the lobby, who asked him to pay upfront which he did, sends him up to a fictitious and empty room.. Obviously he was scammed … SMH at such stupidity— He’ll never make that mistake again.
