    Scandy, are you still there? I am worried that you will never come back from your 'business' trip to Dubai. The likely purpose of this trip is to deliver you to someone who will sell you into sexual slavery. Finding vulnerable girls like you and selling them to human traffickers probably how your 'SD' makes his money. If you still have the choice, DO NOT go anywhere with this guy. You have been warned by many people. Please let us know if you are still OK.

    My guess is that she went for it & hopefully will get a little bit of sugar out of this guy before he replaces her...if he is sincere.

    I'm praying he's not an old pimp/trafficker. I actually met an old guy from Europe who owned massage parlors in a part of the US & I am pretty sure he made his wealth by pimping/selling girls, as the law is so lax on preventing such things in parts of Eastern Europe. Lucky for me I didn't stay in touch.

    BTW I mentioned this thread to my boyfriend (who is middle aged) and he pretty much agrees on the idea that "nothing's free" & guys are still guys, even when old. Like, seemingly too old to function sexually.

    FYI, I saw she started another thread this morning asking for dancing advice in Vegas. She was asked to post an update here, but for those who were also concerned, she seems to be fine... Hopefully she'll come here and post an update for us!

    I agree with what everyone else is saying that I hope you didn't take this man up on his offer. I've had kind of a similar thing happen with me but I wasn't offered a percent of what you were offered. My situation was that I was about to be stranded for God knows how long on the little island I worked on which was 15,000 miles away from home if I didn't act fast and figure out something. I lived there so long that I was well known and old news for all the clubs, no one wanted me anymore so I had no job and was $700 short for a ticket home. I did have enough to get to Hawaii which was a midway point for me that I had an option of working in a club to try to quickly make enough to get home but I only had enough for my plane ticket, no housing or anything.

    A man that owns a club in Honolulu got in contact with me, he told me if I can pay for my ticket out there I am guaranteed a job at his club and he will make sure I have somewhere to stay. I thought about it for a week or so and did a lot of talking and emailing with him and I figured I might as well do it, I don't have much else to lose. I got my ticket and went to Hawaii. He took me to his condo and that was the housing arrangement for me, it was a really nice place actually so I thought hey this isn't that bad. I was hoping the club would have atleast a little business and I could have enough to get home within a week but nope, my first night a whole 2 customers came in and I made nothing, I was actually in the negative because they started a tab for my house fee, lol, the place was so slow that after a week I only had a $40 profit.

    The last night I was so bored just sitting there I started dozing off, I know that is bad but it was a few minutes until closing anyways. He got upset at me that I dozed off and started screaming at me and asking what drugs I was on, I need to tell him something or he will take me to the hospital ER to drug test me, I tried to tell him I was just bored and tired and that it won't happen again and he said he wasn't having it, that he was taking me anyways. He took me there just to dump me off, he literally just took off with all of my stuff and my documents still in his condo and he had no plans of even giving them back to me, he took away the phone that he gave me that I paid to activate too. I had to pay the little money I had left for a 20 minute taxi ride to where his condo was, ring the buzzer to tell him I needed my stuff, he tried to refuse and tried to make security escort me out until I threatened to call the cops, he finally brought me my stuff.

    So there I was, broke and nowhere to go in Waikiki at 3am, I didn't even know anyone there yet so I had no one I could call, I barely knew the area that well to get around. I was close by a McDonalds and had enough for a burger and I jsut stayed there for a while, got on my old deactivated phone to use it for wifi and I started hustling. I was stuck numerous nights with nothing and when I had the money I rented a room. It was a vicious cycle until after 3 months I was finally able to save for a ticket and get out of there.

    I decided to tell you all of this because it shows it happened because I completely depended on some asshole man which caused me to be in a worse spot than I would have been from the start without accepting his help. I have mental problems I never had before because of stuff that happened, it got bad. If I would have been smart and depended on myself I would have figured something out and done it the right way, the hell I lived through for 3 months would not have happened. This man with your situation senses that you are in a tough spot and he doesn't care, he is using that to take advantage of you and if you take him up on it don't be surprised when you are dumped and stranded with nothing or worse.

    Oh I forgot to put the psycho things he did too. Since he took my phone while I was still logged in to all my accounts he got on my personal FaceBook and started messaging my friends, I got on Facebook to message friends about what happened to see if someone could help me , then I would see he would chime in afterwards and explain his side of the story trying to make it look like I was crazy, lol, while he was on MY page haha. He had the nerve to then pretend to be one of the girls that worked at his club saying I was f*cking all "her" customers. What he didn't do was he forgot to take off the location tracker so I saw they were all coming from his condo. Then he got on my Gmail and started emailing people there too. It turned into a drama feast for a lot of my friends and I felt horrible.

    If anyone wants to know the man from my situation so you can avoid him and his club then PM me.

    Ok so sorry I haven't updated...I wanted to wait until things calmed down so I didn't go off on a rant in a post..so I do what I do & avoided the entire situation altogether to avoid feeling the emotions I have surrounding this scenario..I'm really upset w/ myself. I can't believe how this thread has grown, I will be responding to you guys individually, as most all of your advice is right on & I really appreciate you guys giving your time.

    These are the things I need to hear if I'm gonna live & be successful here. So thank you.

    Ok, so this situation blew up 2 hours after my last post when I received text messages about hanging my portrait on his wall & he told me he considered me his girlfriend

    He made it clear what he meant by this....I made it clear I could work for him, be his friend, be his tenant, but would never be a girlfriend in the traditional sense

    He flipped the fck out on me in a personal way which was super weird because up till then I was just some girl who responded to his ad off Craigslist to rent a room

    Realizing I couldn't rent from this person, I requested my security deposit back

    He refused & started going off on me about all of the ex wives and ex girlfriends he has had that have screwed him over for money

    I realized at this point I wasn't dealing w/ someone who was "all there"...I realized how stupid I was for not getting a signed lease and that I was likely screwed

    I called the police...who confirmed for me that yes, I was screwed

    I was heated, mostly at myself...but went off on him about stealing my money...he wouldn't agree to give me my $ back (or even acknowledge I paid it) so I posted an ad on CL warning other people not to respond to his ad along w/ links to every single one of his businesses & texted him a link because he stopped responding

    He responded saying he was gonna sue me & would deal w/ me in court. That he had already talked to his lawyer blah, blah. (Lies. it was 5am & no attorney is taking his call at 5am I don't care how important he is)

    I realize at this point my best hope is to go the nice route & try to obtain as much text message evidence as I could for small claims court.

    So I texted him, apologized & asked if we just couldn't figure out a way to work this out. "I really love the room, if you don't want me to be your girlfriend anymore why can't you just ignore me & collect rent every month?" kinda thing

    He writes back inviting me to the movies that day

    Says we are perfect for each other..."fight like we were meant for each other"...that he has never felt this way about any woman since his ex wife...he will take care of me until the day he dies...even if I get AIDS & lose both legs in a car accident he will never leave me...swore up & down he will never hurt me..."

    And now he says I'm no longer moving into the spare room...I'm to move into the master & live with him IN HIS BEDROOM. WTF?!

    I realize my only hope is to play along so I do for about 7 days trying to get text evidence. I played the role of his girlfriend so well I started to believe I actually still wanted to move in there even talking him out of that idea convincing him I still needed my own bedroom. I started confusing myself.

    He wasn't gonna give up text evidence...it was weird..I was playing him but he was me in a way because he was slick to not mention or respond to things about the money or lease...when I would ask he would just say "let's meet & talk about it tonight"

    The funnier thing--I don't think he trusted me either because meetings were now "in random places" rather than at his home (The thought of robbing him or beating his ass def crossed my mind lol)

    he tried to meet me everyday & strung him along as long as I could until I planned to meet him at a casino. I pulled the "so sorry I'm late, almost there!" bit for over an hour.

    He waited for me at this casino for almost 2 hours.

    Finally left & texted me upset how he had never been so humiliated. I ignored him...I had planned to write him off after this as I assumed after standing him up he would be over me & get the picture.

    He didn't.

    2 hours later he texts: "What color panties are you wearing tonight sweetie?"

    I'm a little freaked out at this point & text him the truth in that I was lying to get text evidence to take to court since he broke our agreement. Obviously he has created an uncomfortable environment & there's no way (as much as I REALLY wanted to...I mean he has gotta have the nicest pool in Vegas...caves, waterfalls..) I could move in

    I also busted up the whole fantasy of me being his girlfriend & made it very clear (in a not so nice way) that I never had any intention of being romantically involved w/ him..I just wanted a place to live & possibly a job if it worked out.

    Where we are today:

    No contact since then between us except I sent a USPS Certified Demand letter saying I need my $800 back w/in 10 days or I'm suing.

    I haven't heard back yet, but I know he has received it.

    I have tons of text evidence, phone call evidence, ATM w/d receipts & proof of him posting & reposting the ads & the time fits..there is also a witness I tried to contact but he is his tenant so I doubt he will vouch for me. I have as much as I can for court so it's gonna be he said/she said w/ out a lease agreement. I'm not counting on getting the $ back....I've written it off as a hard lesson learned. I should know by now not to hand money to strangers w/out getting something in writing. I just pulled up to this mansion like house on a golf course, in a gated community and foolishly didn't think about the possibility of getting scammed.

    The funniest part...another dancer off this site private messaged me & actually knew this person's name! So he's not a stranger to this & it sounds like he flips if his affection isn't reciprocated...but heard he has given gifts to dancers at SR before

    I believe he is who he says, I believe he would be willing to give me all of those things promised...He's trying to buy love, he's desperate & very lonely...but he also made it clear what he expected & that was my entire life. He wanted us to live, eat, sleep, exercise, work, socialize, go to the doctor...together. He wanted a partner in every aspect of his life. And he wanted me to forget who I am, change my entire life, forget everyone I know, all the things I like to do...change everything about me down to my underwear & entire wardrobe...and dedicate 100% of my life, time, heart, mind and soul to him, his life, and his work. all under his control. His wants & needs were all that were important...My thoughts, opinions..nothing about me mattered, my life was shit & he was my only hope.

    I just don't get how he has all this $$ yet has to steal $800 from some poor, broke girl. He knew I didn't have money, I had to make the deposit in 2 payments of $400. I just feel totally upset w/ myself for trusting him to do the right thing & not being responsible enough to get a fucking receipt.

    This is also a lesson to trust your instincts girls. The very 1st time I pulled up to the house, I rang the bell & nobody answered after 5 min. so I left, I wrote the house off thinking it was too far from the strip anyway....he called me back repeatedly almost begging me to come back & see the house (Red flag #1) I debated & really felt like I should forget the house but went back anyway & this is what happened. So mistake #1 was not trusting my 1st instinct...#2 was GROWN ASS ADULT 101 that you don't give money w/out a receipt.

    Steady learning lessons the hard way...story of my life....so now it's basically all up to a judge.

    Please give me a little time to respond. I have another thread posted regarding issues at work & have to get ready for work tonight, but I will definitely respond in depth to everyone who took the time to write I appreciate it so much.

    i understand it sucks to lose money when youre broke and this asshole definitely should give you your money back, but in the end its only 800 and you can make that in 1 night in vegas. like i said before, vegas housing is really cheap and easy to get into. i would be pissed and want my money back too but its just not worth it.

    i say forget this guy but also dont rush into broke mode again. this is the time i think its appropriate to splurge on yourself. work 5-6 days a week for 3 weeks and you should be moved into a nice new apartment in no time with the next months rent covered too, plus lots of goodies and spa treatments and whatever else for you.

    usually when im in a good mindset i work 3-4 days a week and average high and budget appropriately, save, etc. but when im really distressed and broke i go into work every day and spend it all on me. even tho my average is low, its all going to superficial little things that make me feel good. all of those little luxuries we talk about getting but never actually do. last time i was in a funk and forced myself to go to work everyday i bought shit like a $150 bath mat, a $200 curtain rod, and a $100 set of wine glasses. such stupid stuff but overindulging in myself brought me out of that funk and soon i was averaging high again and back to reasonable spending. and i still love those purchases fyi.

    Just let it go...consider yourself lucky for not having ever moved in or gone any further in any way with this weirdo, focus on your future. (It's only $800.)

    Thank you so much for posting an update. Don't beat yourself up over it, that's not going to do you any good. Focus on yourself and the valuable lesson you learned instead. I'm sure all of us that have given advice have done things we're not so proud of either, but we learned a lesson and moved on. I'm proud of you for dealing with the situation instead of just buying his BS which I'm guilty of doing myself.. hence me now being a divorced, single mother. But you live and you learn. Just write off that $800, he's not even worth your time. Keep your head up and do what you need to do to take care of the most important person right now, YOU.

    Agree with the ladies about letting this go. I rather lose $800.00 than my life. God forbid, you could've been killed.
    I hope this guy stops preying on girls like this. :-/

    Girl, don't bother suing. It's more hassle than it's worth. Just go to work, you can make that PLUS in one night.

    Was the security deposit paid in cash or via cheque? If it's via cheque, get your bank to place a stop payment on it (as long as he hasn't cashed it yet). It'll only cost a couple of bucks and is far more likely to get you your money back than suing him. The latter will just drain you emotionally and financially.
