Really sorry to hear of this scottishgirl - my first thought was actually it must be a hoax as the grammer etc were so bad.

I would do what Penny advised, or ignore it, but what a little shit!  You don't recognise the number from anywhere at all?

Hope ur ok

If I got such a text I think I would bluff it out and say that you are in fact reporting them for harrassement.

I completely agree here, too. NOTW may have been a foul old rag but I doubt many of their former employees are now spending their time writing half-illegible threatening nonsense at escorts on AW (well, they may well be, but it would probably go more like, "i used 2 wrk @ notw but now i got no job so plzz can i hav a discount plz plz plz").

I would completely ignore these emails - don't respond just yet, as they're likely fishing for a response so that they can gauge whether or not you are frightened by them - but if you start getting calls and/or texts, then you really do have a case for reporting them for harassment so save everything you get, all texts and call records and numbers and voice descriptions and everything, so that you can pop down to the police station (possibly via a sex work project in your area if you're nervous about speaking directly to police by yourself) and make a report.

You're doing absolutely nothing wrong if you're working independently, although I know it's still hellishly stressful if you feel like you're being targeted. But trust me - those sorts of odd bullies rely on the fact that they can get your number and photos from your ads online while you don't know anything at all about them. It's probably a stupid teenager or a creepy weirdo in a basement, or even yes an escort who's so bad at her job she can't make any money unless she scares all her competition away, so I really expect it's nothing to worry about. Just wait it out and make sure to keep anything you receive from them so you can report them if they send anything else.

((hugs)) Do you have a security buddy/escort friend near you? It can really help to remind yourself that you're not alone, despite what the bullies want you to think, so do get in touch with friends and loved ones about this if you can.

BTW ladies, thanks for your comments xxxx

 I've PM'd you.
Hope it helps,

Wow, I'm shocked

I've been contacted by journalists before and they've always been charming and nice, mainly because they want you to open your big mouth and tell them things

It definitely sounds like someone is out to get you.  I've known girls to be harassed by other girls, I've also known clients to be harassed by girls.  Are there any girls around who would prefer you not be working?

I'm sorry you're worried about your flat, but the stress from the harassment really isn't worth it.  It's probably time to change flat, email and phone number.

As others have said, this is really terrible and I'm sorry you're going through such a thing.

Is escorting not legal in Scotland? There's no way they can actually get the police involved as a serious threat if it is legal, as it is here... I'd have pointed out that (as I believe Emily said) Anon is the one doing something illegal, not yourself.

Hope that your meeting with the landlord doesn't go too badly and hope you find a way through all this. I can't even imagine the stress.

You can do a third party report to the police on him if you wanted to - your name wouldn't be involved.  I've had to do this so if you want details of where to go etc pm me

Has he ever been a client?
Why has he gone mental on you.

Fraker is doing this for two reasons:

• Fraker wants you out of that flat or immediate location.

        If it's this, then you leaving will have resolved this for him. Then all you need to do is:
        a) Move on with your life or

• Fraker is out to get you

        Which means you have a much bigger problem that is not going away, any time soon.

Did you get the man's contact details from the agent?
Go back to them. Get everything info wise. You got evicted so you have nothing to loose.

Oh, read the headers from the emails he sent you.
These will show the originating IP address they were sent from.

You must find out who this person is and why they are doing this.

There are a zillion of escorts so its not a man who is
'Down on whores' (deliberate phrase) in general.
It was specific to you being in that flat or specific to you.
If the latter, that makes Fraker dangerous to you. They are not going to stop.
He physically threatened you: "when your phone rings be very careful"

You need to know what you are dealing with.
