I've heard a lot of complaints from punters that VS is full of scammers. Perhaps genuine escorts do things like go on holiday or only work a few days a week and therefor want more flexible advertising. Scam outfits can slap up some stolen photos and park themselves somewhere indefinitely - just replace with different girls, none of whom are the girl in the photos, anyway.

I'v decided to go without my viva street ad this weekend it expired at midnight, its my last tour before i have 2 weeks off for Christmas hardly worth forking out for just 4 days when on average i think i only get about 3-5 bookings from vivastreet spread out through out the month I tour so found it works well in some areas and not at all in others, I don't think it works that well in the area i am touring at this weekend having said that if I could purchase a cheaper option that covered the 4 days then I would of put an advert up anyway.

Hi Fabulassie,

Thanks for your feedback. We check all photos via various tools to look out for fake photos and all users can flag an advert if the photos were fake or for any other reason and the moderation team will take action on an advert. To be clear we would like no fake or scam adverts on the site, but unfortunately we cant catch every scammer every time.

Just to give you some insight we do not publish or disable at least 40% of photos that come through our site as we find are fake or have been flagged by users and investigated by our moderation team. As you say it makes no sense for us as a business to allow misleading ads as our users would not come back to the site.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Hi Everyone,

If you would like a short duration over the christmas period please do pass over your details and I can ask the sales team (who can offer this) to give you a call. It is at there desecration, but they may be able to sell you shorter packages at over times too.

I understand. I know that AW is also awash with scammers. It's the nature of the sex industry. I know that I would absolutely love to be able to filter out the timewasters and con artists who try to call me!

The problem is that VS have historically made it very difficult for genuine advertisers, all in the name of 'weeding out scammers'. At the same time I spotted and reported fake/stolen photos and was told that I should report theft to the police. ::). Then they randomly removed bits of my very genuine profile.

It's also obvious that pimps are using profiles for several different women.

Pity someone with some sense can't go through tineye/google images, and use a bit of experience to spot the fakes instead of making things difficult for genuine advertisers.

Hi Mirror,

We do agree that genuine advertisers can get caught up in our posting rules and we are sorry for this. We do have to find a sweet spot where we catch the most spammers without causing too many problems for ours genuine users, if we relaxed any more then we would have far more spammers and fake ads on the site. Obviously we cant say all the tools we use to check faker details, but we do take advantage of the to you mention.

As for pimps and any other illegal activity we actively work with the UK police forces and in fact they come in to train our moderators and we feedback on any suspect activity. If you are every made aware of anything that breaks the law please dont hesitate to contact myself of the UK CS team.

Thank you,

I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

Wow that's a sneaky one. So that's now approx ?180 a month instead of ?70

Yep lots of similar 'magazine type' sites have also whacked up their prices.  Its greedy and its not a good look. All that happens is I'm far less likely to advertise on these type of sites and go elsewhere. Since I note way more TWs etc come from this type of site.

All the adverts seem to be on a 10 day rolling period now. Not impressed. Don't think I'll bother after my ad expires. Day light robbery.

I checked and only have the option for 7 days...and the price will now mean paying ?13 a month more and it still doesn't include allowing weblinks (an extra ?3.99 for 7 days), or more detailed adverts.

I also don't think I'll bother renewing. My advert expires today.
