Hi ladies and gents,
 Over the last year I decided to turn indie 100% no more agencies. With that in mind, I ran in to some situations that regardless of how much I may have read regarding warnings, over the years, the support network around me and years of experience, I was still confronted with situations where I over looked all the systems I had in place to stay safe.

This year after meeting a client in London's W hotel, (where he always stays) he decided to invite me to visit him in Vegas for 5 days. After meeting him in London, I thought that would be a delightful treat for me. Emails were sent, logistics taken care of, deposits sent.

Once I was all set with him in Vegas, he gave me the rest of the moneys owed in cash for the days agreed on.

He continuously asked me to keep the cash in the safety deposit box, which he had a password for, a password- which would share with me.
At first I did not feel comfortable, as I still did not know him well enough to trust him with all my cash in a safety deposit box, which I felt was not in my control, as he was setting the password and the cash would no longer be with me but in a safety deposit box, set with his password. Regardless of us staying in the same room, I still felt more comfortable holding my own cash instead of giving my cash to someone whom was still a stranger to me.

The booking went on, it became somewhat enjoyable my requirements for space/sleep etc were being met as his specific needs were too. He decided to extend our time together.  At this point that meant further travel within the USA.
Banks were closed over the weekend so the decision, he would forward me the remaining balance, once we could visit a bank during the week.

On this second part of our trip, he introduced me to his family. All proud American Italians- as his new British girl friend.
I met his son, his son's Mormon wife, his best friend and his best friend's wife. We were all seemingly enjoying a holiday together.
They appeared to be a nice, happy family. It was his best friend's birthday and his anniversary. I felt I trusted him more now, he had introduced me to his family his inner circle.

I felt safe and at ease. He mentioned that we would go to a bank and that story kept on changing due to apparent circumstances. I Forgot to mention, he still had my previous cash- We decided that instead of me holding on to all that cash, he would keep it for me. For safety reasons.

We flew back to his home town after this part of the holiday, Arizona.

Once here, he went out one afternoon to the bank to arrange aforementioned transfer. I asked him for the receipt for the transaction, he showed me and as I went to have a closer look he snatched it, I wanted to keep it as a record, he said he would take a photocopy.

At this point he still had the cash from the start of the holiday and he promised to transfer all above funds through the above transaction.

I felt safe with this client, comfortable, I felt I could trust him. Having been introduced to his son, and now his daughter his  extended family, taken me to his home, best friends restaurant, travelled together. He is also a member of  TER and whitelisted by a few ladies, so he is known.This amounted to a false sense of security on my part and I let down my guard and my security procedures, that all cash is payed up front.

Still who could be that confident to expose their family to a stranger, (myself) take me to his home. He was very arrogant in his approach. He took full advantage of everyone around him.

I could not be more wrong about this man and what all these points above suggested about him.
Once I arrived back to London none of the promised fee was transferred, ?15,000 was the total sum. He leaked some of that money in a small string of events since then, via Western Union and on a short visit to London but not even close to the full amount. I arrived back home with $10

The entire time believing the transfer would come through.

I feel stupid, I have a circle of friends in the industry, I did not use my support networks, I bought in to his illusion and deception. I still can not believe it. I am incredibly disappointed in myself embarrassed.

If I could take him to court just to scare him I would, it would be a difficult case (if any) as the meeting took place in the States, the British court would not have jurisdiction as it is illegal there.
He did obtain services by deception and that is a criminal offence. This is a confusing and difficult matter for me ATM and one which I will stop pursuing as I just want this to be over. Contradictory thoughts. I still don't fully know what to do.

I feel incredibly isolated and stupid after this happened, having told friends they could barely even believe this happened to me, I have been a sex worker for 5 years now. I truly feel ashamed.


I am writing this to help and promote the message and hopefully avoid someone falling in the same trap. The whole situation just seemed legitimate, a holiday with his family, how can anyone con someone using their own family?

I have thought about my course of action but I really am lost in this matter.


If you want his details I can send them privately via the PM system. Here are some generic details:

Mobile numbers:

+148084229**

+192838059**

He is Italian American (very proud of his heritage), lives in Arizona currently, 5,7 feet tall, white, piercing small blue eyes, partly bald with silver/grey hair, very large protruding ears, works in a company which supplies fast internet...

He uses the Directory TER his handle: Tegreen

He will be leaving the States soon to live in the UK so he really is one to watch out for. He is very confident in scamming girls as he lures them in to his home, introduces you to his family to give you a sense of security. This has been a huge blow to my confidence. I for the most part, enjoy my job, this has stained me somewhat.

I hope the above message is clear, please do ask me for further details or if anything needs clarifying.

Stay safe x
