I don't think it really matters. As they say, a new sucker is born every minute. I estimate I've been in the hobby game perhaps 20+ years now. The scams have evolved a lot more over the years, outright scammers who actually get you into a room with someone with the intent to scam you is even worse. There's quite a few B&Sw crews doing that kind of scam too. Weak guys walk in and get totally suckered into handing over their money because they can't read that the girl is totally uninterested in providing any decent service so they sit there getting a shitty hand job with a condom on. Then also there's a whole competing list of outcall scams, wanting small amounts of deposit to cover outcall costs, which are also another form of scam lol.
Then theres a new breed of scams convincing people they have an Onlyfans and to join that with a chance to see some catfish lol. Its really the Wild West out there. Once in a blue moon theres some rare ad of some absolute moonlighting gem but its so rare these days.
As a hobbyist you can't really win these days. All I'm going to say that there's no reward without risk, but you really need to know how you move these days, the GTA scene will eat you alive if you are inexperienced.
