Last week I had another timewaster named 'Ali'. He saw my ad on vivastreet. He sounded asian with a strong accent , possibly Indian or Pakistani. He asked for an outcall and was fine with the price, but very brusk sounding. sounding, (Alarm bells were sounding, but I ignored them. He kept asking how soon I'd be, I said as soon as possible and that I would order a cab. He expected me to be ready to go immediately after his first call! When he called back I booked a cab and he seemed happy and gave me an address, but when I got there number was for the whole building, not for a flat and I did not know which flat was his. I tried calling him, but then it kept going straight through to voicemail. I was annoyed that I had gone all the way to his for nothing!
His number was: 074051717**
Thanks,

Hi Sasha
Please do read the information on Outcalls on the main page of this site, it has information that if you had read and adhered to would have made sure that you wouldnt have been in this position.
Please ensure that when you do Outcalls that you always, always, check the address, name and landline number so that you know the address is right for the person living there. If it doesnt check out then you know not to go.
Also your gut feeling was that it was not right, always go with your gut feeling is what I would recommend to any working lady.

Thanks for the advice. Will do that in future, although people are often reluctant to giave their landlines. I guess I should just say I can't go if they don't give me all the info I need.
