I’ve worked for 3 agencies and the best think I’ve done is go independent.
The first agency (black man): A woman messaged me through aw (I only did cam at the time) proposed an offer of 5k a month cash and I thought really long and hard about it and said yes, didn’t know how much money there was in the industry at this point so I thought that was really good money. On the day of going there I was told that someone would pick me up from the train station and take me to my apartment. Got to the station and was told to get an uber to a hotel so I did, was waiting around for 20 minutes and about to book an uber back to the station to go home when a man pulled up in a car (I knew a man was getting me) my apartment wasn’t organised or waiting for me, had to sit in the car for nearly an hour waiting for him to find an air b&b and book it. Finally got there and everything was fine. I was told that I had to work exactly 30 days to receive payment so planned to stay for 2 weeks and then have a week off and do the rest after which I though was a bit much but I didn’t know anything else at the time. Before I got there I was told that everything would be provided for me, he had nothing for me. I was worked like a dog, starting at 10am every day and sometimes not finishing until 3/4 am. He would stay at the apartment with me and try tell me that I would have to cook for him ect. From the first day there I had sex with him, not because I wanted to but because I felt like my job was on the line if I didn’t. I felt really awkward but I wasn’t sure on what else to do. I done my 2 weeks and never went back. He used to say how he had so many girls working for him but spent the entire 2 weeks with me and some of the pictures of girls he showed me that “worked for him” were never on adult work.
2nd agency (2 Asian men): Birmingham, I found them through an agency advertising website. I knew a man owned it, spoke with him and everything seemed good. Was promised a luxury apartment with proof shown to me of the tenancy agreement for the apartment and pictures ect. So everything felt like I had double checked it this time. On the day I was meant to go there, he said he had pre booked me a nail appointment and hair appointment (this was apparently included in the agency) I got there, let him know what time I’d arrive and he was responding the whole way there and double checking on me. I got to the station and he said he was going to send me over the postcode, couldn’t get through to him for an hour so I got on the train to go home and when I was halfway home (3 hour journey home) he called and was apologising so much and saying his phone wasn’t turning on ect and practically begged me to go back. I went back as I was really in need of the money. Got the postcode and got to the apartment, no one’s answering again. Wait another 30 minutes and I finally get let in. Went up to the apartment and it’s 2 Brazilian girls who don’t really speak any English (I don’t have a problem with that, just describing the girls) automatically I’m a little nervous because this is not who he said would be there. The apartment was nothing close to luxury and if anything was super rough in a dodgy area. The bedrooms looked like brothel rooms and the bathroom had a broken bath cover and was really old fashioned. The girls were lovely and we talk as much as we can. The agency owner turned up with another man (Asian also) saying it was his cousin. They were super strange and the agency owner kept making jokes of having sex with me, I felt so uncomfortable and knew I was not staying here I just needed a polite way of leaving so that I wouldn’t be in danger. He told me that my bail appointment was in 10 minutes and said he’ll drop me there. Went down to the car and it was a really old ran down car. He drove around and started just stopping in the road and jumping out and running into nail shops asking if they had availability (none did) took me back to the apartment, when I got out of the car I said that I needed to speak to him. I said that this isn’t what we discussed and that nothing is even similar to what he showed me beforehand, I said I was going to leave and have a think about things. I left and went home and while on the way home he was pretty much begging me to come back and that he should’ve put me in the “real” apartment. I ignored them all, the next day I sent him a paragraph just saying exactly why I will not be coming back and why ect in the most respectful way possible. He then started to twist it and say that there was money missing in the apartment and that one of the girls had said I stole it (i would never do that and I was never sat alone in the apartment for me to even be able to do that) he then sent me a picture of my own id and threatened to come to my house ect, someone had gone into the apartment and looked through my belongings when I went into the car with him and took a picture of my id! I was so scared but I blocked him, he never turned up to my house and I never heard from him again. I have never seen either of the girls on aw or anything so I’m not sure what was going on there.
3rd agency (mixed race man) : London agency, everything was okay here just there being only 2 rooms that only had a bed, 1 pillow and chest of draws and a wardrobe in each room. No sofa or tv in the apartment (only a kitchen table) no duvets or decorations. The girls had major drug and alcohol problems, would scare off clients, the apartment would be dirty and there would be 3-10 girls all taking turns using the 2 rooms.
4th agency (2 black men) : Wasn’t too bad here also, very nice luxurious apartments however it was clear that they were living there. Was always clean however they just didn’t have a clue what they was doing (said they had been doing this for years on the phone) we would speak up when things werent done properly and they would try argue about it ect. Just very immature and unprofessional, like I said beforehand, had clearly never done this before and didn’t have a clue about anything. They would expect you to work for over 12 hours but if you said no or went home they never did anything and never made me feel unsafe.
I since been independent for around 8 months and it’s so much easier and nicer!!
