Yes, they're a scam - anybody who wants you to give them money without them getting you any work first is likewise.

If you are a straight man hoping to escort women (and it isn't clear from your nick, so apologies if not) the only people who are going to claim there is work for you are scammers. Read this thread too.

I'm sure there are threads about bogus/rip off agencies and someone else can tell you where they are but

golden rule - do not pay any money upfront to an agency - this will be a rip off

Merged into the main topic :)

As you can see, there are lots and lots of scams (at least two bunches of scammers are behind many of them - they just keep changing their name) but as she said, the test to see if it's a scam is very simple: if they want any money whatsoever (or for you to be naked never mind sexual) before you have cash in your hand from a client, it's a scam.

Hi there!
My names pammie and I'm 29 I have looked into escorting for a long time now and have decided yes it's for me, it is the social side though not sexual side.
I have been contacted after sending an email by this company (Nba international) and its to advertise myself, I am a lesbian and I am wanting to go down the female escort route, just for females.
Has anyone else done this? I would love to go it alone and not have to use advertisers so any help with that would be hugely appreciated too, thanks loads in advance

Hi. It's been long enough since we had a 'non-sexual escorting' query like this that I can't spot the big joined up thread on this to merge this one to it, but I am certain they will be a scam. The markets for non-sexual escorting and escorting women are too small to support any genuine agency: trying to do both would be commercial suicide. Real agencies make all their money finding people work, but this bunch will be wanting to charge you money, because it's the only way they'll make any.

You could try advertising in the lesbian media, but I suspect that will cost more than you make and most of the enquiries you will get will be from women asking how they can do escorting too.

Sorry. If you are happy being sexual on a webcam, you could make money.

Ah, the third listing on Google for 'nba international esorts' is the 'big scam agency thread' here. Yep, that would be ?250 you'd never see again.

Hey
Thanks for reply I can't seem to reply eek
Yes I was thinking about possibly advertising in the lesbian magazines and actually is on par with the price of nba,
Urgh so don't send the money to them then...
Is there any help for me about getting into escorting on my own? I just seem to be at a dead end wherever I look :0(
So difficult and I'm really wanting to start up and get into this

Yes, searching for previous mentions of the scam meant I found this thread.

It's a bit like asking us to find you a unicorn and then being disappointed that we cannot! :) Some brick walls are there to stop people being hurt.

Many people would love there to be a larger market for non-sexual escorting and/or escorting women, but the reality is that both are tiny on their own and the combination of the two must be microscopically small.

Hey,
Thanks again for reply :0)
Yeah I can imagine its a niche market :0/ but I'm going to keep trying ;0) "I will find that unicorn" hehe.
Maybe just try and advertise privately aka magazines gay bars etc
I just wondered if anyone had come across escorts for females? Sexual and none sexual?

Thanks again

Don't worry - the non-sexual escorting scam, often combined with the 'market your services to women' scam, is hugely popular and obviously very profitable for the scammers, so you're definitely not alone in wondering whether they're genuine or not. At least you had the smarts to come and ask here before you started shelling out cash for fruitless advertising!

This has been said many times in this thread but a reiteration is always handy: If someone is looking to pay for company, they can get companionship PLUS full sex (bloody hours of it, and all sorts of services!) for actually not that much money, considering. In parts of the UK, for example, clients can nip into a brothel or an indie escort's incall flat to have a half-hour shag for about ?40-60. Often, if they're nice and polite clients and the escort has some time to spare, the client is welcome to hang around having a cup of tea and chatting for extra time after the booking at no extra charge. So why would any client want to go spending money on a woman who makes it clear at the start that she's got no intention of ever touching him sexually?

Generally, men already have plenty of experience socialising with women who are not sexually available to them. They don't need to pay for that. :) And female clients, although a tiny market, are going to have the same attitude.

There are very few people out there who are so repulsive and have such hideous personalities that they have to pay someone to hang out with them. Most people have plenty of friends and do not, therefore, pay for social companionship. You can go to any bar and look at/chat to beautiful women for free. You can go on any dating or hookup site and go on awkward first dates for free, too, and you might even get laid for free at the end of it! That's why genuine, non-scam social escorting agencies don't exist. Sex is, frankly, too cheaply available to those who are happy to pay, and everyone already knows tons of people who don't wanna shag 'em.

The sex industry is VAST and there is money to be made although there are already a lot of very smart, industrious sex workers (and thousands more lazy and/or part-time sex workers, like me ;D) hoovering up the profits so there actually isn't a fortune to be made even if you do every sexual service in the world. Making money in this industry requires a lot of effort. It can definitely be done, but you need to be very good and there will be a lot of sex (whether in person, on cam or on the phone) involved. And there are barely any female clients. I hear lots of people talking about the one or two bookings they've done that involved a female client, but they are usually part of the couple and the bookings frequently involve the wife/girlfriend getting upset and/or angry, and I've never had a genuine woman call me (although we all get tons of fantasists pretending they have a hot bi girlfriend who wants to be 'surprised', of course). If anyone markets sexual services to women, I think they'd be lucky to get 5 female clients a year, judging from what I've seen and heard. Even 'straight male escorts' would need to suck some willy if they want to make a proper income.

Hope that makes it clear why you should never give money to anyone who says they'll line up clients who want to pay you to talk to them in a totally non-sexual way. :)

I used to know a girl who only did girls.

She didn't make a huge amount and this was before the recession started.

I've noticed she's since stopped advertising in her usual places.

.....www.selectcompanions.co.uk

They offer a travel companion service around uk and beyond. They seems ok until they mentioned if accepted which we highly think you will be ( they've nenpver seen a picture of me) a registration fee of ?250. Even as I write this email I'm thinking ummmmm a bit iffy.

Just wondered what others thought?
