The truth is I lost $$$$ to a highly reviewed EECIE member on the ladies side once ... only once ... I chose to not let it happen again... that's just me ... I had seen her several times before in the past and I counted on her doing the right thing, that was MY mistake... I bought a new tire, as I recall, so she could get to my incall...you do you, I do me, as always in this hobby, ymmv... she's perfectly capable of reading this, and probably knows exactly what happened and who is involved ... again, beware of any $ up front, just don't do it...
p.s.: I have no comment on the provider, don't bother asking, it doesn't matter, it's the truth...
Upfront $$$ is a sucker's bet, period... IMHO
