- Friday 24th Jan 2025
- London/SE1/London Bridge - Incall at 4* hotel
- Initial contact via AW, last-minute booking request, good recent feedback
- Asked for incall or outcall to his home in Walthamstow.
- Works in EC1 so preferred incall on his way home.
- Had a call to discuss the details, everything checked out, we got on great and I accepted the booking.
- Phil C, 5'10 (said 6' in his initial message), 39, dark blonde, very fit, professional career in the city
- Asked to pay by bank transfer...£500 for 2hrs
- Appeared to do so on arrival, he went through the process on his phone in front of me, a confirmation screen appeared and all looked legit. 
- Carried out the (very physical) session - he is very fit and into martial arts

Got on great at the time, I had no concerns then but when I checked my account again in the morning the payment was missing.

Gave him the benefit of the doubt at first, and tried to contact him on Whatsapp, by text, call and AW email from Saturday until the following Thursday when I logged the NUM report.
All messages were delivered (not blocked) but unread on all platforms despite him showing as being logged in to AW every day since the meeting.

My last message explained I had no alternative but to log a report for non-payment and inform the police. I had given him every opportunity to respond in case it was a genuine mistake but I could only assume that he was ignoring my messages since he had actively been logging on to AW every day and not responding.

It may be that he made a genuine error with the transfer but thinks he got away with it so he is ignoring the messages and playing dumb.  Or he is very accomplished at this and knew exactly what he was doing. 

He is very charismatic and engaging and I am far from naive when it comes to this.  I did all the usual safety and security checks and it appears the transfer would have looked legit when he did it, but was blocked by my bank as potentially fraudulent and that is why it didn't appear in my account. 

He claims to only be doing this for 6mths after splitting with his GF but his AW profile is almost 10yrs old though only has a few reviews.  It has now been deactivated  >:(

Details
Phil C
White, 39, 5'10 (claims to be 6'),  dark blonde, no tattoos
Very fit, into martial arts
Professional in the City/EC1
Lives in Walthamstow
+4477670762**
Non-payment for 2hr incall £500

I would not have consented to anything if I knew he wasn't going to pay, as we all would, and his non-payment and deliberate avoidance is abuse in various forms, so I hope this helps anyone else from falling into the same situation.

I have this number saved in my phone as 'Phillip s flaky/TasF' (thick as fuck); he's sent me his standard copypaste text four times but never gives enough notice/details or books before my 6pm cutoff. The most recent one was on the 9th of January and I didn't answer.

I've never seen him because of this plus his stock text is off-putting and he sounds as dumb as a rock (which thinking that London Bridge is on the way home from EC1 to Walthamstow would back up - I live in EC1) but I never had him down as a ripoff merchant, I must admit.

The stock text (which I have no doubt he sends to everyone and probably by email too) always contains the words:

'I am 37, blonde, British, white, 182cm* tall and keep in great shape.

Hope to hear from you soon

Philip'
*sometimes it says 6ft

I don't take bank transfers anway, but thanks for the heads up :)
