I heard a story today from what I believe to be a reliable source that a British SW was rejected and banned from US for 10 years because she had used her passport to verify her UK Eros account.

I should add this is a second or third hand information so I'm not 100% sure its true. But its from a reliable source and it was (apparently) defiantly because of the Eros account.

My heart jumped out my chest. Cos are we on about the - e r o s . c o m - if so f...k shit. I paid for advert 57pounds and 20pence still waiting for them to post my advert it has been a week now and I put my passport to verify so my images profile has verified icon across it in the ebony section. Please can you confirm the exact  site please. 

yes, we're talking about Eros.com, however 57 pounds is incredibly cheap... because the ads are like 270 pounds in london, but theyhave the same rates everywhere... have you called them? they're pretty efficient with when it comes to helping you out. My guess is they must be a bit overwhelmed right now with all the backpage posters pulling their ads on eros (?). but call them up.

Yes, it's that eros.

i just logged into my account and got this message:

"Due to heavy work volumes, requests may take longer to publish than normal. All requests are still being processed as quickly as possible. We have temporarily stopped accepting incoming phone calls to focus all of our resources on your ad submissions. Thank you for your patience as we work through this busy period"

I told ya. they are pretty overwhelmed at the present time with the backpage takedown and all the US escorts posting their ads on Eros.

I also got this message in BIG black bold letters:

"Eros.com is a Swiss company. All advertiser data is stored on Swiss servers, and is protected by Swiss law. We respect and protect your right to privacy, and we appreciate your business!"

Me thinks the pannicky rumour with eros has spread, but they're based in switzerland and all the info is save there so don't panic 

You beat me to it. I logged in and was about to post that here.

Also I don't think we can get banned in the u s a for verify cos here is what they say.

Yep. their headquarters in US got closed after the raid.

and you;re right, ads now are 57 pounds a month (how come they got so cheaper? They were more pricey before?)

Somehow, someday, I get the feeling that Eros' "Swiss privacy" is going to go the way of Swiss bank account privacy.  Remember when they were a fail safe way to stash your cash?  Haha, then Uncle Sam decided to lean on all those off-shore countries to cooperate and provide the info to the U.S.  That's why you can't open a bank account in so many countries -- no one wants to be bothered with U.S. reporting requirements.  Party's over for U.S. citizens!

Despite the fact that Eros' provides all these assurances, I'm not holding my breath that they won't turn over any of that info to U.S. authorities now or at some point in the future.  Caveat emptor.

My advert is London and not into 100 plus.
