Ok there's also this topic where Cavendish Knights are mentioned as being a scam:

http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=926.0

Really I don't think you'll make any money being a straight escort, and there's no market for 'companionship only' escorts - if there was I don't think anyone on this forum would be putting dicks in their mouths when they could  make the same amount just chatting to men over tea..

Also this thread:

http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=385.0

I'm not trying to be mean, or trying to burst your bubble, I'm just trying to save you time and possibly money. The only sure way to make money in the escorting biz is to embrace the penis  ;D

Of course they're happy: they've found another victim.

CK are not as expensive a scam as some of the others, but you know the money that they have (or will soon) asked for? Before you've had a client? If you took it out of your wallet and burnt it, you'd get the same number of clients (nil) but you'd get to watch the pretty flames and feel a bit warmer.

Hi all,

I'm a straight male looking to earn extra money via providing escorting services.

I've been contacted by Lunabella after responding to an advert on-line. Have spoken to a very charming lady who has run through the usual registration details, but is asking for ?290 for advertising and registration for 3 months on their website. I've obviously queried this as l'm always sceptical about paying anything upfront without any guarantees...
Payment would have to be made via a bank transfer and is needed to cover me with public liability insurance.
 
I have told them that l will think about it over the weekend before making any commitment. Whilst they say that l will have two bookings a week and my first within 5-7 days l am quite conscious that this is a scam, and need to be sure before making any form of payment to them..... :FF  ???

Please could someone give me some advice as to whether http://www.lunabella.co.uk/ is genuine and/or what to do?

Look forward to any help or advice.

No they are not, and nor is anybody else who a: claims there is work/a market for straight male escorts, or b: asks you to give them money before you have earned any doing work they have found for you.

I have merged your post with the appropriate thread - please read it, and as ever, start thinking about your Plan B.

I wonder why they say it's for three months rather than a year? Only the terminally gullible are going to pay them again after they've had zero real bookings.

Ahhh :)

(As a datapoint of the real costs of public liability insurance, the last time I needed to buy some, getting it for a long weekend get-together of 300 bisexual people and their friends cost just over a hundred quid. It's fair to say that some horizontal networking was going on too... About the only thing the insurance wouldn't cover was having someone with a flamethrower or a bouncy castle!)

Hi,

I am looking to work for a male escorting agency. I live in Gloucestershire, but am sick of being conned and want a legitimate agency that l can work through.

Could someone please recommend a few please. I have heard of Lunabella, are they legitimate and reliable?

Look forward to any advice and help.

Without wishing to sound rude, when you found us, if you had used the search tool, or even looked further down the first page of posts  you would have found this http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=506.0

and this http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=11482.0

You would also have seen we do not recommend any agency due to the fact they are illegal operations.

Third, if you think there is still work despite the link above, looking at that lunabella site, d you see any way to view or contact any escorts beyond the featured ones? Ask yourself why not, and keep that thought with you when trawling the man many scam agencies you will come across.

Hello,

If you're straight then I'm sorry to break it to you; but women don't pay for sex. Please see this thread: http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=506.msg92424#msg92424

Please don't hand over any money to any agencies, as you won't get ANY work...

If you're a gay male escort...then someone will be along to help you, as I haven't a clue where you should be advertising!

There's a search box in the top right hand corner that will give you links to threads related to what you're searching for.

Good luck  ;D.

I appreciate that women are unlikely to pay for sexual liaison's. I do know that certain women who travel and extremely busy do look for companions to go to events with and provide companionship.

You 'know' this, do you? How? As in, based upon what factual evidence?

Even if there are 'certain' women who do this, they will be extremely few and far between. So if there are, say, ten of these women in the entire country who do this maybe three or four times a year each that's a potential forty bookings which might earn you 50-100 quid each if you're lucky, and that's before you've taken off your overheads.

That's also assuming that you actually get each and every one of these potential bookings over the tens of thousands of other hopefuls, some of whom have contributed to the rest of this thread - hardly great odds. I'd maybe hang back from Dragons Den for the time being.

Your post has been moved here. Read it: there's work for male escorts/gigolos, but virtually all of it is from male clients.

I would be very surprised if the situation isn't the same in India.
