Personally I wouldn't meet a client in a car - ESPECIALLY one I'd never seen before and ESPECIALLY if I was completely new...I have a feeling this guy is taking advantage of your newness to the biz.
You could tell someone all the details, but what if he's using a fake plate and address? What happens if you tell a buddy where you're meeting, and he decides to drive you 200 miles away? What if the worst happens???
I know I didn't address your nerves, but *I* would NEVER get into a car with a stranger. Please rethink.
Hi there,
I just read your message and its very worrying. I think you need to seriously take on board the comments made by the lady above.
You know nothing at all about this man and he is a complete stranger to you. I personally wouldnt even get into a car with a "regular" customer unless I have physically been to his actual home (and that would be after doing some security checks with Directories Enquiries). Can you not ask this chap to book a cheap Travel Lodge Hotel and when he's booked into the room, you do your security checks and call him to make sure he's in the room and then you go over to him but leave the details of where your going with a friend. And also ask the person to call you when the two hours are up? Its got to be at least worth asking him.
I think you really need to reconsider this meeting and failing that, you need to ask somebody to walk with you and watch you get into his car. And that person should take down the details of his car including the make, model, colour and registration and you should leave his phone number with that person as well. And if you do go, ask him to meet you somewhere thats well lit with street lights and preferably on a main road with cameras. Make sure you have your mobile phone with you and its fully charged and money to travel home.
I think you should do what the lady above said and go with your "gut instinct" and if it doesn't feel right, then don't go, and don't worry about the money because tomorrow is another day. The money is not important...YOU ARE.
