Thanks..
There are 2 good reasons not to pay by epayment before hand :

1. It might be a scam, in which case you will not get to bonk her and she keeps your money. Probably a small amount, but it will be annoying.

2. More importantly, the transfer is traceable. In the even that she is arrested by AV, they can trace the money transfer back to you which would be highly inconvenient/embarrassing for you. That's why ALL dealings with FLs should be anonymous and untraceable to you, whether its payment (always pay cash), SMS (always use anonymous prepaid SIM) or emails (always use a freebie internet email address).
