Hi there,

I am very concerned about a recent event where i was contacted via AW asking if I wanted some extra work.
The contact was a local escort who said she wanted to flat share. I looked at her profile and she seemed fine so I called her .She kind of explained she rented of a guy,but he wasn't there .
I made arrangements and went to see her. The woman certainly wasn't the one on the profile, but fair enough I thought. The flat was pretty grim . She introduced me to this guy ,who it turns out rents the flat at ?30 per hour. She then proceeded  to tell me he does all the profiles ,fake photos,fake everything.
There was  about 6 mobiles ringing and she tells me they advertise on AW,Ad-mag, and he also has a website. She answered the phone in a couple of other names whilst I was there.
Anyway, I didn't feel comfortable and left. When i got home I checked out some of the profiles and none of them were actually her.

I didn't think anymore of it ,till i got an email today from a "client" asking if i did in calls, i said no as i hadn't found anywhere.The tone was a bit strange ,but anyway, i suggested a place where i know  do in calls. The reply was really odd and asked why i would suggest this place, i just replied i was trying to be helpful.
I then looked again and noticed the name had 36 in red next to it. When i checked out all the aliases it was these two people ,they had got some very negative feedback.

I feel relay uneasy now. Has anyone else been approached in this way?

I am posting here to bring this back to the front page where it belongs.

I consider it to be a potentially serious threat to vulnerable ladies and if nothing else a clear indication of pimping and deception of clients. It deserves to be read.

I'm on my PDA and can keep it up as long as is necessary ;)

LD, have you tried reporting this to Adultwork? They might not have the best reputation but on the couple of occasions when I have done contacted them, I have had prompt and helpful responses.

I once had a message from someone on there who had 6 aliases and I thought that was a lot! This is the sort of thing they should be doing something about.

I have. They replied saying that the same group of people were using the same browser and that was it. I outlined as i have to SAAFE what had happend,but not in so much detail as i didn't want my car blowing up! It was AW who had highlighted it in the first place so they must have some concerns.
It left me feeling very uneasy in many ways

I think this is a scam - whether a guy controlling it or a girl and a guy it still stinks.  I would urge you to name the profiles so we can all avoid them.  The other thing is that a new girl may not know that this is not a good set up.   My other concern little diamond is that they are using your details (or that he is on his site, and that is why you recieved strange calls.  

I contacted adultwork about a profile of concern and it was removed within a few hrs.  The danger is that they will rejoin in another name.  I would say that if you feel able it would be worth naming the couple and their website so we can all avoid??  What do you mean that adultwork highlighted it??

Hi,
I think it was the guy or both.The new profile was created that morning just to ask me if i was do doing in calls.
When i didn't return and take up the offer from the original meeting -maybe they sent the email  to see if i was really doing in-calls and who with , or they thought i may have been some kind of agency,etc checking up on them.
When i looked at the email again , AW had got "36" in red by the side of the new name,when i clicked on the 36 it said "warning - this member is believed to have 36 aliases", and reeled them off .
I recognised a lot of them from the profiles she was using and talking about to clients when i was there.

I agree with Suzy that they should be named but I don't blame you for being worried about repercussions - I would be too.

It sounds like AW are taking an interest in them at least; you will be able to tell if they contact you. Maybe it will solve itself if they hadn't realised that the computer is traceable.

Hi Amy,

I hope AW do do something. I dont mind sharing the names privately,but dont want to put them up in case they are logged into here. I had a similar situation with a female stalker, she decided to be my "guardian angel" and " rescue " me  and it went really nasty ,its put me right off going public! I will gladly share to an email.
