How to avoid girlfriend rental scams

4 min read

Most girlfriend rental scams follow one pattern: a too-good profile, a request to pay before anything is agreed, and payment by a method you cannot get back. A real booking does the opposite — the plan and the full price come first, in writing, and payment goes against an invoice.

Warning signs

  • A "verification" or "booking" fee before any plan is agreed
  • Payment by gift card, cryptocurrency or a money-transfer app to a person
  • Cash asked for on the day
  • Contact moved to a private number straight away
  • A price that changes after you agree it
  • Profiles that look like advertising photographs

What a real booking looks like

  • The plan, the limits and the full price in writing first
  • An invoice with a payment reference for the 30% advance
  • A published cancellation rule
  • A public first meeting, and contact through the platform

Common questions

Does Rent Girlfriend ever ask for money before the plan?

No. You pay the 30% advance only after you have seen the full price in writing and chosen a companion.

Will Rent Girlfriend ask me to pay a companion directly?

The advance is paid against our invoice, never to her. The rest of the price you pay her directly on the day, at the price shown and never more.

How do I know a message is really from Rent Girlfriend?

It comes from rentgf.com or our published channels on the contact page; anything else is not us.
