Very occasionally my longstanding play partner and myself, manage to have corresponding free time, which we then spice up by adding an extra lady. We normally use a booking agent, who sources the ladies from ESA, as it can be a drag to do so ourselves. Giselle was recommendeded, her esa link sent, we arranged for her to purchase her own bus ticket to join us on our weekend away. The original arrangement was that she purchases one way, and upon getting refunded on arrival, she will book the return ticket. The usual (yawn) wg doesn't have spare cash. So we sent the money for both here and back via eft on Thursday eve.
Yesterday the first flag, cause she failed to even greet or acknowledge my message of pop.
Late afternoon excuse of "she had a day booking unexpectedly "
Then, this morning, after we spent money on arranging specially catered food, chocolates, champers etc, she cancels as the eft apparently "still hasn't cleared " and proceeds to switch off her phone.
Be warned, this lady seems to be a scammer. The reasonable thing should be, that she called to discuss. Funny that the booking agent's money cleared.
Anyway, be warned about her.

Was it the same bank or not? Usually takes up to 3 business days for interbank transfers and one for most other banks but FNB is same time. If you need it to clear immediately (within 30 minutes), there's usually an additional fee to pay to have that done.

So possibility exists that it really didn't clear if it's different banks, in which case I wouldn't blame her as she could see you as a scammer saying you paid when the money isn't in her account.

If you're using a booking agent, you should only be dealing with and paying the booking agent and they need to sort out payment with the wg (usually after service and been rendered satisfactorily) and ensure everything goes smoothly so make sure it happens like that next time.

Sorry for your disappointment. Good luck for next time. Keep us posted.

N4P

Maybe please tell us who recommended her to u.
But n4p is right. Any place if u make a booking and they want money upfront its immediate payment. Even if u buy online content. The money must first show. Dont say girls never have money. They just dont have money to spend upfront for maybe a fake booking. So yes u are seen as a scammer through a working girls eyes.
