The big scam agency thread

[amy]

It's not a competitive market as such, because as there are no female clients to speak of there is no market.

Unfortunately this doesn't mean there aren't a zillion or so hopeful, deluded straight men who think that because female prostitutes prosper there will be an equivalent for them, and the scammers who want your money are very well aware of this which is why they are currently pandering to your every word and will continue to do so until they get their hands on your cash and your 'client' (who will be a rich foreign lady travelling on business and wants to book you for three hours and go out for dinner yaddah yaddah yaddah) gets the flu and cancels. Believe me, we've all been here before.

Please read the Straight Male thread above where I have moved the rest of your posts.

Yes, just because the people who want your money say it is 'confirmed' doesn't mean it ever existed. If you want a laugh, ask why you cannot pay their fee after the booking has actually happened.

There is plenty of competition in this particular market, but only for victims.

If Amy couldn't find them on Google despite knowing the name, you might wonder how anyone can. At least this lot let you see victims' ads, but that's about the only nice thing I can spot.

Hi, Just want to make sure I get this message out. Both The Select Service and Scarlet companions have scammed me out of cash. The usual scam and I feel soooo stoopid but I want to make sure non of you lose money to them. They are very good and tell you just what you want to hear. They tell you they have a job for you and you'll get paid ?400, you just need to pay them the reg fee (195). After you do this the job gets canceled and they stop replying to emails of phone calls.

Stay safe

Hi there i'm a new member and came on with the sole reason to warn everyone not to have dealings with Perfect Company www.perfect-company.com. I checked them out before hand but found no bad press. I feel like naive idiot now but hopefully my mistake will prevent others from making the same. I spoke to a girl, Sophie Williams, on a few occasions and in length and so decided to join . I paid the ?290 joining fee and within a couple of days had an 'executive client' who wanted to book me. I was then informed i had to pay ?3000 to join the so called 'executive listings' if my meeting with 'Adam' could take place. I refused and over the course of the next couple of days the fee miraculously went from 3000 to 1500 to 700. They also refused to take a post payment once my date with 'Adam' had taken place. The whole thing just screams SCAM so please do not touch them with a barge pole!

Just a general note (especially as that site appears to be long vanished now - but there will be others doing the same scam very soon, I expect), as it is currently understood by any and all within the sex industry, there is almost zero market for non-sexual escorting.

The reason for this is as follows: Any client can pay any amount from about ?100 upwards (sometimes even less) to receive quality companionship with sex included. He can also often spend a little discounted-rate time with an escort if he wants to socialise but does not want sex. Even if he chooses the second option, with an escort he'll always have the option open to pay more and receive sexual services if he changes his mind. There is, therefore, really no reason for anyone to pay money to spend time with someone who will not ever have sex with them (outside of very rare particular arrangements that certain individuals may have). There is certainly not a huge industry around non-sexual companionship because there's no decent money to be made from it.

I'm sorry you lost money, LizzieG - though if you paid by credit card, you might be able to claim it back? - and I'm not even sure this particular "agency" was a non-sexual one since their site has disappeared. But it's a common scam and for the benefit of anyone else who skims this thread, I wanted to explain just why nobody should ever pay money to join an agency that promises things which are impossibly unlikely.

Do check out http://www.saafe.info (the main site here) for further information if you decide to pursue sex work seriously, and if not, good luck with any other ventures.

Er, Lizzie's link works fine for me . It's an obvious (when you've seen this many of them) scam site which does claim to be non-sexual escorting, has the usual non-geographic phone number, no information for clients but tons for would-be 'escorts' etc etc. Have merged with the main thread and moved it here where hopefully more people might find it, since we seem to be getting a lot of these at the moment .

[EmilyJones]

You're right, I can see it now! And it's very shoddy, so I wish I hadn't.

I checked them out before hand but found no bad press.

There is an endless stream of new scams. They typically do one advertising campaign, get one set of victims, and start again with another name and website. Sometimes, they get the same victims more than once, but fortunately you have now realised that if they want any money upfront, they're a scam.

I paid the ?290 joining fee .. I was then informed I had to pay ?3000 to join the so called 'executive listings' if my meeting with 'Adam' could take place.

Gosh, people are getting greedy.

[Dionne]

Amanda that sounds like a scam!!! Do not pay them any amount of money under any circumstances! Xx

[sarahlpool]

Hay can some one please help me with this problem then.

I joined a non sexual agencey I paid a market charge and they asked for more money. In total I have given them under four thousand pound and have not been on one date. Not to mention I now have no money!

I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help anyone!!!

[xw5]

You have been completely scammed.

There is no real market for non-sexual escorting, no matter what the scum after your money say. No real agency (in any field) will take money off you up front - they are supposed to make their money from finding you work.

You have probably lost the money, but see http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=2946

[sarahlpool]

Hi

That was what I was told about this so called 'Adam' I feel ashamed to say this but I did give them money. I have spoken to a legal rep and they think I can clam back the money as they are a scam company.

I just hope that I can get my money back!!!!!!!!!

[xw5]

Depends on how you paid. If it was cash into an account, you are probably stuffed. The scams don't like being paid by credit card for a reason.

Typically there are also some terms and conditions which are rather more honest (if you know what they are saying) than the nice people on the phone. So they say 'no guarantees of any thing ans, oh, only you can see your ad, no refunds'.

It doesn't help that one major bunch are based in Spain, so out of effective reach of UK courts.
