If a punter is genuine sounding and polite I will always bend over backwards to be polite and helpful its the rude ones who start with "how much" that get short shrift from me.

I agree. If they otherwise sound alright I don't mind.

What you have to remember is that there are many unscrupulous sites copying profiles and your profile on their webpage without prices and this may be where the guys are getting your number.

Yes it can be annoying but you may be doing yourself out of good bookings if you are hostile or hang up on them.

I always ask where they got my number from.If it's a site where I know the info is right there I'll refer them back to it after answering a 2 or 3 questions or I'll text them the link to my own website.Very rarely do the can't read/won't read brigade get back to me.

They could have seen any one of my adverts and it may have been one that doesn't show my prices. I will always answer polite questions.

I have never ever had a booking from one who called inquiring about rates. NEVER!! They usually say oh ok thank you I'll call back but of course they don't. And yes I do believe they just want you to do them a deal. The response they are looking for is "oh you can't afford that? Too expensive for you is if? Then how much can you afford? Oh ok I'll do you for that " some know damn well how much you charge. I don't waste my time, I just hang up. Why can't they just book a prodtitue they can afford? some even quote your price lower hoping you are dumb. Oh so it's ?30 for the hour yes? You know damn well I don't charge that. Then when I say no it's this amount, they stutter and say " oh ok that's ok I'll still book" but of course it's not ok cuz they were hoping to pay less. I don't even bother sending the address and of course they never call back for it cuz they had no intention of showing.  just Drink Bleach

Ladies, have you been contacted by this guy who can't read ? 

But then again as someone said - they may be getting your number from a site thats swiped your info and not given the price. About three sites have taken my photo and text and not given my price, but they ALL cut off after a min and they ring me back and I give them my proper number.

Ladies, have you been contacted by this guy who can't read ? 

Yes he says he genuinely cannot read, he contacted me a few times over several years, the last time I spoke to him he started actually tantrumming on me on the phone so I shouted back at him and he became all apologetic. He still calls me now and again but I never answer his calls now.
