Ok

I'm just starting out with this.

I applied to an agency, s******* escorts and had a response saying they'd like me to come in tomorrow so they can check my id and have more photos done and I am welcome to stay and work afterwards. They've asked for my address so they can send a driver at 7pm tomorrow.

I just wanted to check that they are ok in case this was dodgy, I'm not quite sure what to expect with all this you see!

Hope you can help x

Hmm. "Stay and work" + "driver" could mean it's one of those agencies that drive girls around overnight to client after client (or she has to sit in the car for hours freezing her bum off), using clients' showers or not getting one at all?

But either way, brothel or agency, they're illegal operations often run by complete crooks and - worse - idiots so as Amy says, you *must* get yourself a safety buddy as you need someone who cares about you (and not about how much money you might earn for them) to know where you are and where to find you should you ring them in need of rescuing.

A 'driving agency' (I just made that term up; you could also use 'icky agency that no girl I've ever heard from has enjoyed working for'!) will likely expect you to pay a massive percentage of your earnings towards the driver, who will likely just be some random bloke who needs the money, not a formally-qualified security professional. So the agency will tell you not to worry, you just go right into all these strange men's houses; they'll tell you they've vetted the clients according to the strictest procedures, and they'll say your driver is an ex-army guy trained in krav maga who's spent his whole life so far protecting innocent civillians from terrorists etc etc and just now happens to be working for a bunch of criminals taking money from prossies while trying to convince them that this is all very necessary for their own safety. So you shouldn't worry, they'll say; you're totally safe.

Unfortunately, they'll just say whatever they think you need to hear to get you out there earning money from having sex with men that you then hand over to the agency. So don't believe anything any agency-related person tells you and make sure you have your OWN friend(s) looking out for you at all times.

Oh, and if at any point the agency do something you don't really like, such as sending you to rubbish clients or failing to get you any clients at all, just bail immediately. Make a vague excuse - and, to repeat Amy again, make sure they do NOT know anything about where you live or your real full name etc! - and just ditch them, because agencies often do nothing to earn their commission that us indies don't do in about fifteen minutes ourselves, so there's no point working with an agency who aren't at least decent - it's just a total rip-off. If they're any less than decent (and unfortunately many of them are way less than decent!), they aren't worth wasting your time with; you and your time are very valuable, after all.

Hey ladies.

Thanks for your advice.

I thought about it and Sent them an email saying "thank you for your time but I have decided to go in another direction"
They weren't too please and begged me to come in anyway.

I don't trust anyone with worse spelling than mine and no grammar as a rule of thumb.

So I'm sitting here contemplating things and am seriously considering jumping in and going indie, from what I've heard it seems like a better option, so I'm coming up with a viable security plan, looking for a security buddy and taking responsibility for myself! If you want something doing well you have to do it yourself as they say!!

Would appreciate any more advice you ladies have.

Thanks,
