It claims to be an advertising site for 'independent companions' and not an agency, but they are apparently asking for a membership fee from both prospective punters and 'companions, one hallmark of a scam. You cannot look at any profiles without registering (and presumably paying); another one. They claim that fees 'generally' start at ?600/four hour bookings - these are not commonplace for me, and I'm pretty well established (I can't speak for others, but one and two hour appointments are the ones which keep my bills paid).

Also, the 0845 number and claim to be covering not only the whole UK but being 'international' too smacks of a load of old bollocks, coupled with possibly the worst looking website of this type I have ever seen - do you seriously think that anyone with ?600 in his pocket will be perusing a horrendously designed and spelt-by-dyslexics site full of rough as f*ck mobile phone pictures and amateur snaps of hopeful looking folk posing in their front room?

No offence, Loulou, but have you read any of this site at all? There is this article on the main site, but even if you haven't got to that there are hundreds of threads and posts on here about the subject - it has been done to death so many times I'm even sick of using the expression 'done to death'.

Type 'scam agencies' into the search box on the top right and don't make any plans for the rest of the week.

A lot of scam agencies advertise in such places im afraid. Please, please dont give them your money. I looked at that website too Amy. It is shockingly bad!
It annoyed me to see all those poor people who have been royally ripped off and now have thier picture plastered on the internet to boot!
I think XW5 found one agency that did social escorting that didnt ask for money up front. I doubt they will last though as there really is virtually no market for it. For example if it were possible to go on ?600 dinner dates or trips to Paris, then we would all be doing it!
It would serve them right if we all took 5 mins out of our day to spam them ie- apply. Might keep them busy and away from vunerable people.
P.S. Complete cowboy outfit. Hes only been around since February and didnt even cover his tracks. It took me seconds to get his full name and business address, anybody reading who lost money PM me.
