Hi there,

not sure if this is the right place to post this but thought i'd try anyway. So me and my friend are new to this industry and have been trying to find an agency in our area as we dont feel confident enough to start out indie with no proper knowledge etc.

 So in January my friend is approached by a lady (called Laura) who then reffered her to a man called Gary. She had initial contact with Gary (we have no phone number or even last name for this guy except an email address) so he seems polite and nice enough to answer questions and concerns but we think he may be a possible scammer as 1) he cancelled the interview he arranged 2)as mentioned we have no other details about him other than an email he contacted us by 3)At around the end of january this guy just disappeared. No contact etc.

The thing that worries us is we read on this forum about a notorious sex worker abuser called Gary Allan who relocates throughout the UK to flee police. When we googled part of his email it linked to a business webpage that is based in the Borders (between scotland and england) with no real credit to back it up. We could just be paranoid but as I say, we have no name of the agency, or details of this guy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Jane I'm currently in edinburgh and have been about for 3 years. Pm me if you like.x

Approached as in she went for an interview and was told the interviewer knew a guy who had an agency and gave said guy our email address. It seemed dodgy so i just wanted advice as it seemed weird they didnt have a web page etc. Red flags went up as he didnt even give us the agency's name. Just said no web page etc as it was an extremely private high end "referral" system where clients refer their friends etc from "blue chip" companies etc. Of course we weren't born yesterday and hence googled his email address and discussed it. x

Went for an interview where, and for what?

The bullshit 'we're so exclusive we don't have a website as our punters are all so mega-conglomerate they couldn't possibly risk Using The Internet to find prostitutes' line is even older than me, but well done for spotting it.

What usually happens next is that one of their 'representatives' (ie. this man or whichever of his friends' turn it is) will 'interview' you (ie. expect you to have sex, commonly unprotected, with them for free) to determine whether you get the non-existant 'job', whereupon they vanish and you never hear from them again .

I was applying online and I might have come across said Garry and Laura. He asked me to meet him in a public place and asked me lots of questions.. He then said I was not the type..
He wore those black thick rimmed glasses, paranoid if he was filming me the whole time..
