I think I may be in a bit of a unique situation when it comes to deposits... Guys are too keen to send them!

On a few occasions I've had guys enquire about an appointment by text, but due to time constraints (most recently him taking ages to reply and me going into another booking) I've not shared the info for them to send a deposit over so they JUST GUESS???

I don't use my working name or email address for PayPal or CashApp, PayPal shut down the account associated with my work info so I now have something completely separate but twice this month guys have sent deposits using information I haven't given them then get bitchy with me about taking money from them. They may not be very tech savvy but I'm struggling to explain what has happened to them and why I'm not taking responsibility for their impatience.

I tried explaining that the money is not in my account so they need to contact either the company or the person they did send the money to and ask for it back but it's not in my account so I cannot help them. One even sent a screenshot of his payment going through and the profile picture was a woman of a completely different ethnicity!

On another occasion a deposit was sent to a PayPal account with a similar email address to mine, mine is xxxxxphotos@xxxx.com and he sent it to xxxxxpictures@xxxx.com because in his mind photos and pictures are the same thing 

Deposits save me a load of headaches, but also probably cost me a fair percentage of business from guys who can't transfer for legit reasons, but these guys really make me despair sometimes xx
