I rented my apartment to this girl, up untill now she has paid rent in full etc, this time ripped me off by ?200 . I just want to warn others to what she is like etc so that it doesnt happen to them.

I had rented it out to her 3 times, I trusted her to pay as requested, now im blocked and can't contact her etc, my thoughts are if she can do it to me, 4hen who else is she doing it too.

That's appalling. Sorry that happened to you Nina. I wonder if this (with more info) should go in the Warnings & Wasters section?

I've read enough posts to know that WG ripping off other WGs isn't uncommon but it always really saddens me to hear. While I can understand the necessity of never trusting a client that same mentality wouldn't naturally transfer to WGs I met (though i know it should!) I suppose it's because I expect there to be a sense of camaraderie. Girls looking out for girls! So disappointing when people ruin that to the point where so many girls here don't trust others in the profession   

Hope you have more success with the next girl if you choose to rent out again!

Sorry that this happened to you.  It always really disappoints me when I hear of girls ripping each other off, we all know what the business is like, do we not have enough to deal with without scamming each other too?

I guess I always think there should be cameraderie or something, it's sad when it turns out not to be the case.

Hi ladies, if anyone needs this parasites number details etc please send a wee pm. Try and keep it to a minimum of how many of us girls she can rip off.

was this in scotland nina?  if so, can you say which area?  pm me if you don't want to say xx

Exactly Elisabeth, I gave her the benefit of doubt that she would pay her way. I have used many different numbers to contact her, she just hangs up. I have even had friends call her and she does the same. Obviously this girl has no conscience.  I have contacted as many landlords as I know in Scotland, England,  NI &Ireland giving photos and description and number. I know its highly likely thatbher number and profile will change but not her face lol

It's a disappointing thing to have happened, sorry to hear it. There will always be people who behave as badly as they can get away with, whether they're male or female, sex workers or dentists or taxi drivers or bankers. Usual rules of business apply - money first, unless you know you're going to have recourse to the law if things go tits-up.

I hate to say this, but it's "only" ?200 - hardly a life changing amount for most of us. Maybe it would be better to let it go now, instead of spending more time, effort and money on trying to go after her, and recruiting your friends to boot? It's an annoying matter, but you're letting it f*ck with your head. I don't want to belittle what's happened to you, but every business incurrs the odd bad debt, and it may be more productive to focus on your marketing and your business going forward, instead of obsessing about this person who has ripped you off. If someone feels the need to con you out of such a small amount of money it's probably because their back is against the wall financially for some reason or other, not because they're trying to upset you or take the piss. This person is burning bridges, which is never smart, and eventually it'll bite her in the ass.

Don't allow her to drain your energy and cost you even more money by spending time chasing after her - I would just focus on my business, put it down to experience, and in future treat tenants like any other punter - money first.

Sour grapes,  the money part is irrelevant,  the fact that she gook advantage of my kind nature is the point, using all my products in the flat and deliberately doing so. The fact that she left a bin bag full of takeaway boxes that she had during her stay, would suggest her back was not up against the wall. The fact that when I xall or text on different numbers she answers and pretends she cant hear me etc, would suggest she pre planned to do it. I rarely rent my place out as I dont wish to have it abused . The only reason I posted on the forum is purely to let others know so as they are not ripped off.

As for getting friends onto her, far from it.

Trust me with you find people take the proverbial mickey, the best thing is to just walk away, get over your anger, give it a few months and then you will have the opportunity to confront them, calmly.
