I have required deposits for outcalls for a while (usually enough to cover travel costs and possibly a coffee), however I just did my first tour since pre covid and stated in my ad that a 30% deposit was required. This was required by everyone whether or not I had seen them before. I did only have 6 bookings for the 2 days as was trying to be discreet as possible, but before probably 2-3 of those 6 would have been no-shows.

Recently I've been feeling rather concerned, as to transfer now you need to give the your full name on the account for the transfer to go through. This hasn't been an issue for me so far as when i receive the funds I can see the clients name or the the name of the business that the account is in and I tell them this after the fact for mutually assured discretion. Today was different, i was going on an outcall and asked for a deposit so sent these details and I hadnt included my first name, just the initial but he went out of his way to confirm my first name as i guess it presented itself to him on the sytem. The transfer never came through, first it was an issue with funds then an issue with the app allegedly so he cancelled. So he has my details including the first name and I just dont have anything of his really. I did try to distance myself by saying it was someone elses account but the issue is my name is unique. if you google my full name there is nothing but my last name, the first result is my mothers linkdin. I do have bad anxiety but i feel uneasy. I checked his number, there are no other reports of him from other ladies.

I guess my question is , should i be worried? If he contacted anyone could i do anything?

and secondly is there some other more anonymous way to receive transfers.

I definitely let me guard down and got too comfortable with transfers but I find more people ask for them these days, Ive even had people show up with no cash as they just assume transfer is okay so i would miss out on quite a bit of money if I only accepted cash payment.

honestly its more a concern of him possibly contacting a relative or something. im very paranoid .

What type of voucher do you suggest?

thank you ill definitely look into cashapp

Can't you ask to get your transfer by western union for your deposit and collect it via a post office in cash?
I don't do deposit but i know you can send money via this system and the one who receives the money can get it without any Id, just a password that the sender gives you?.

There is no cashback option with Western Union. Once you have sent the money it is GONE. 

Western Union requires a Government ID to collect the cash in person.  I don't know what happens with an online transfer, but if you are sending cash for a person to collect in person, they need a name that matches a legitimate legal ID.

I think 50% deposit will be problematic as some clients have joint bank accounts.
I had resistance at £50 deposit too so Iowered it and now don't have any issues.
I always ask for bank transfer and never had a problem. I would avoid PayPal as they will close your account if they suspect sex work.

Paypal will also freeze your accounts and take back your money if it twigs (or is told) what you're using it for.

I've gone over £50 for deposits for some years now, no problem. I request a deposit for at least the first 2 bookings, because I was let down on the second booking quite a few time - something which used to happen before I started using deposits. When I brought in deposits I only asked for one the first booking, thinking having been prepared to pay it once indicated reliability. It didn't.

I also restart deposits if someone gets into a habit of cancelling.
