Some of the replies here have been a bit harsh. Give Enrique a break...

Women may not pay for sex, but I have witness many attractive, young women to give up their livelihoods for a man (which equates to a silly girl with low self-esteem). I have also seen women indirectly pay for sex: taking care of a man because "the dick is good"  :D

But what Enrique needs is a good, strong woman by his side. Not a punteress to shell out money.

Also...you guys can blame the hit HBO show HUNG for the increase in straight male escorts. I never watched the show, but I seen previews where the man sits in a hotel bed, while having 9 or 10 women in and out dropping their panties and cash and then walking out.

Joey, if a people have been a bit harsh it's because Enrique asked for advice and then ignored the answers he got because they didn't fit the picture. He didn't want advice, he wanted to show off his website and have us all say how great it is and what a good idea, but while there's nothing wrong with that it was never going to happen.

Women indirectly paying for sex (as men do) is neither here nor there - this forum is here to discuss working in the sex industry where sex is paid for directly - if we're going to include women who 'pay' by virtue of earning more than their partners, we might as well be discussing marriage. As for Hung, I think it has been on over here, but someone on another thread mentioned that one of the British soaps was covering something similar and I think that's probably got far more to do with it than some American comedy.

The best thing Enrique can do is take on board the advice he has been given - he's not doing any harm with his site, but he shouldn't get his hopes up that he will get any bookings. We can't do any more for him than that.

Hey Thanks Joey :) I didn't find what anyone said harsh at all. At the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own opinion .

The best thing Enrique can do is take on board the advice he has been given - he's not doing any harm with his site, but he shouldn't get his hopes up that he will get any bookings. We can't do any more for him than that.

Advice taken on board thanks... :) x

Yes you've been scammed. There is nothing you can do except try and be more careful with whatever money you've got left. Not paying large sums of cash into a random-company-you-know-nothing-about's bank account is a good way to start hanging onto it.

There aren't any, sorry. If you don't believe me, read the rest of this thread or do a search for some of the other zillion posts on the subject. Even if you do believe me you are bound to think I'm wrong, so read the rest of this thread anyway.

Then you might be one of the lucky ones - normally they ask for cash. Good luck getting it back and for God's sake don't believe any more shite anyone tells you about how straight men can earn money whoring (or better still, being a 'companion' ffs). They can't.

Ermm I thought you only get your money back if;

(a) you didn't authorise the payment or
(b) you didn't receive goods paid for(services generally aren't covered unless zero service is received)

I'm therefore interested in how /what grounds you are getting your money back?

More to it than that Strawberry under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 you can claim for breach of contract or misrepresentation, which the latter  I would assume is the way he would go, as the company are unlikley to dispute the claim anyways, he can be fairly economical with the truth about what he had paid for, and still have a valid claim. Missled about an advertising deal would be a fair one.

But doesn't he have to show how he was misled?Simply not getting any bookings isn't the agents fault(although obviously we know in this case they don't intend doing that anyway).

I have made a claim in the past due to being shafted over some advertising  :( and with my CC company as it was all word of mouth and a handshake agreement, (long story) they were quite happy to accept my version of events.

Now he could say he paid to appear on thier site and recive  x number of bookings guaranteed per week, or maybe he can think of something else, at the end of the day, it will be down to the CC company to decide who is in the wrong, and the scam agency to prove his version of events is not correct.

I guess as every CC company is different, he may/may not have a case, but wont cost him anything to try.

Not only that, but as he has been unable to contact them since, they could not have the defence of just not getting bookings for him, if it came to it they would have to prove they had at least attempted it, surely?

I'd like to start by saying hi and thanks to those who are taking the time to read my post.
 
Firstly id like to thank people for the posts about scam agencys and alike as was very close to being ripped of by a few one in particular that was very convinsing but slight mistakes in the telephgone conversation, and the fact they wanted ?199.00 for her admin to find me bookings led me to be suspicious and look further into the industry pro's, cons and getting started, leading me here.

Although I have been thinking of getting into the male escorting industry for some years have never actually seriously given it thought till now and was wondering if there is a need for straught male escorts, any advice to help me get started where to look agencys to contact that wont rip me off and how to get started without making a complete fool out of my self or selling my selfshort, as nearly all the advice and information is aimed mainly at women  :-\

I dont expect this to be easy and straight forward but would appreciate honest advice which i know i will get from reading your post and answers  :P

Many thanks x

Oh dear  :-X

This should help although you should really have just typed male escorting into the search bar.
