Most ladies work only in cash as this is the safest way of avoiding dodgy cheques as well as protecting our clients and our anomity (having names etc showing up on bank statements)but even with cash there is a risk of fake notes being passed to us. There are a couple of things we can do to deal with this - there is a check list here fake notes. Once you find you have one unfortunately there is nothing you can do to recoup that loss. Because you accepted the forged money, there is no compensation available to you. So best to catch them straight away. The person giving it too may not actually be aware it is fake either - but it is coming out of your pocket so best to be careful.
Cheques - if you do choose to accept them never do so with out a cheque card, which gives some guarantee towards payment, however they do not always so be wary. Always write the card details on the cheque yourself. It is always advisable to ask for another form of id as well as a security measure when taking cheques. Don't forget to compare signatures on cheque with the one on the card.
Advance payments for deposits - difficult area this since Paypal with drew from adult market, they will freeze accounts they find being used or believe are being used for adult payments, then close them and will block you from getting another paypal account completely. Nochex is also slowly withdrawing from the adult market making it increasinly difficult to use their services for this business. Some laides take mobile phone credits as a form of deposits as these can be purchased in many places and then all you need the client to do is email you the code from the voucher.
Credit Cards/Debit cards - to enable you to take these you will need a business or merchant bank account and the charges levied by the few banks that offer this to the adult industry will charge quite a high fee for the privalage also this facility is not automatically offered on business accounts. There is also the time it takes for the money to actually come through from credit card payments to consider as the banks want to ensure that there are no charge backs - meaning that the person using the credit card cancels the payment after the fact for one reason or another - also increased risk of fraud with credit cards again effecting your pocket.
