The withheld number caller....
« on: 21 April 2009, 02:41:41 pm »
The phone has been quiet today. I just got 2 calls though, one with a number shown, all was well. Another with withheld. I don't normally pick these up but thought, I am bored, let's take this call...
The guy asked questions, all normal ones we get asked then he asked if I did outcalls? When my next outcall was? And then said he wanted my address so he could come over for an incall...
Yeah, like I am stupid mate...
He was more likely going to come over and relieve me of all my goods while I was out at my next outcall....
I know I don't pick up withhelds for a reason, bored or not, I will not bother again.
Idiots.

What a coincidence. Not from a withheld number but somebody called me today wanting to make a 2hr booking for this afternoon after my 12.30. He then said that because he hadn't had time to look at my site properly he didn't have a chance to get my address, so could he have it please. I told him I didn't give out my address until the customer's in the vicinity. He said he'd call back at 12pm to reconfirm. Not only did I not hold my breath, even if he had called back I would've fibbed and said I took another booking. Obviously I don't have my address on my website, so I was immediately suspicious.

I never trust when somebody asks for the address upfront. It's true that some that do, do so innocently, especially if this isn't something they do all the time and they don't know the protocol. There's a way that the dodgy ones ask is what makes me sus. I listen to my instincts.

You know, Im with you on that one Joanna. I just cannot do the private calls anymore. The worst is when its dawn, on a sunday morning (when Im hungover from the night before) the phone rings and I just grab it to shut it up!

Its not until I hangup that the reason he asked such annoying questions is because it came in private and I didnt realize it! And the whole thing of "tell him to call back with a number showing" is just a waste of breath. Then they try and keep you on...and of course dont call back. From experience, every hotel here in the U.S. has a phone number that shows up; so that excuse is tossed out as well.

When I first started escorting I wasn't quite sure what the fuss was all about over withheld numbers. Then I started to notice most withheld/payphone bookings didn't show (never mind confirm). The ones that did were a nightmare - say you are running late or they arrive early and are still getting ready? You want to know who's calling since at that point you need to be getting ready, and may need to call them back when you are ready. A few times I picked up a withheld, just before an appointment and it's turned out to be someone who needs full details or to discuss at length an appointment - thus meaning I was then late for the appointment (withheld guy is calling in meantime to say he's on his way, I then can't phone him to say it's ok to come over!).

Another time a regular who'd started using withheld after displaying his number for the first booking, rang early. Usually I would call someone back when I'm ready, there then followed a cat and mouse chase as he phoned every 5 mins to see if I was ready yet! Result was he didn't get to see me til much later since answering his calls just meant I couldn't get on with getting ready for him. Then there was the time someone passed fake currency off on me. He had been calling from a withheld for weeks, said he couldn't work out how to release the number on his work mobile. Result was I couldn't then warn other ladies - and certainly couldn't approach the Police.

Too much hassle for both sides.

Payphones are worse - since they charge so much to call a mobile the caller usually runs out of change - then it's very difficult to find call boxes in any location these days. If they get lost it's very difficult since you can't contact each other. So the appointment could easily be wasted.

I'm gathering up a list of phone boxes in my area - googling a landline will show up a call box.

Those are the main reasons why I do not do the private calls things either. If not because of anything else...that would be why.

I've done the 'Oh I'm bored and it's really quiet so let me answer the withheld caller' thing.  Us girls (and guys) need a laugh sometimes.

The last one was someone who had seen my website and read my reviews and wanted to tell me that I was such a lovely person and he really wanted to see me, was really attracted to me blah blah blah; but he didn't 'pay for it'  :o.  and never booked an escort and never would  >:(

So I played along for about 30 secs before I asked him why he was looking at escort sites rather than match.com?  He hung up, so I never got the answer.  oh well, I'm sure there'll be another one along any day now :P

yeah but thats stupid though...I mean, think about it. all the hits we get on your profiles. And some of the guys have no intention of booking anyone. some are just downright against it but still go to those websites. My photographer told me he has a friend who has quite a bit of money and looks at the escort sites frequently, but never goes forward with it because its "not his thing". Well if its not your thing and you dont want to pay for it then why you looking in the first place? I find that phenomenon is even more prevelent in the middle of the country than elsewhere. You have the ones who look with no intention at all of ever booking, and you also have the ones who look...but will actually consider doing so with a guy who strikes them enough. Thats something totally different.

By the way, last private caller...calls private, I didnt answer. Then, calls 5 seconds later from a showing number. Can you believe this guy, calls me asking "so how does this work?" Asking me my stats. And all the clearly obvious questions. And I've met enough people who have never hired an escort before, they dont ask shit like that.

So, dont answer private calls. Even if they offer to call with a real number or call back a few seconds with it showing...forget it.

The thing is that I don't mind people just looking at my website, it's no skin of my nose.  It's when they call me and try to get a freebie that pisses me off.  I mean I've been doing this for about eight years now, so I'm hardly going to give it away for free. 

When I first started all those many moons ago, I may have been a little more patient, giving callers the benefit of the doubt, thinking that maybe the client was just nervous, but now I know that if they tell you they don't want to pay then they are angling for a freebie.  No bloody chance.  Mind I can be a little naughty and may, every now and then, string them long.  I mean it's only fair that I get to waste their time in return.

With withheld numbers, I don't even bother to answer them. As StrawB said, there is just too much hassle involved, the principle point of with holding the number starts the whole relationship off in a negative way. The other person on the other side is taking no risk and is hoping to get all the rewards, so I refuse to play ball. I had one guy call and I answered thinking it was my girlfriend I had just spoke to, when I asked him to call back with his number showing, he replied-"I don't do that, I don't give out my number." You can not imagine how this got my back up! I replied, "Then we have a problem, I AM NOT GIVING YOU ANY INFO, until you call back with your number showing, good day!" And hung up. Cheeky sod.

Im quick to tell a guy to go fuck himself then. I dont play that cant give out number shit. If someone is too worried about giving out a cell or home number they can take their happy ass on to the quikie mart and buy a pre-paid phone and call me from there. I'll be damned to leave my house without a way to call somone. That goes for anyone. dates, clients, whoever. You have my number so whats the problem?

Sorry, just got off from my 1st day at the 'normal' job  :-[

Sometimes when I get a run of witheld number calls during the same day or on consecutive days, which I don't answer, I always get irritated and think ffs give up already, I don't answer witheld numbers! Thing is I treat it as if it's the same caller - but for all I know it could be a different person each time, lol.

I hope I answer one of these! I've memorize the address of the police station down the road from my incall location- I'd love to do that :)

It could be the guy just loves the sound of your voicemail message!..
I get the texts from T-Mobile that inform you of all calls when your phone is switched off.
Sometimes when I switch on in the morning, there have been dozens of calls from the same mobile number, within seconds  of each other..
All listening to my dulcet northern tones bidding them seductively  to call back at an appropriate hour.. ;D

I've still got my withheld caller ringing 2-3 times a week getting off on me saying "If you call back and show your number I'll be happy to give you some details",

Poor chap, he must be lonely.  The remainder do call back and show their number but obviously he cannot.
