No escort agency should ever charge an escort fees other than the usual commission charge once they actually receive a call.
I’m hearing too often that escort services in the UK are ripping off unsuspecting newbie escorts by charging them a startup fee.
Then the escort gets no calls and the scam escort agency gets away with stealing.
If you have experienced this, please post the name of the escort agency, their city, State/Province, Country, URL, phone number and contact name(s) so other escorts can be forewarned.
Thank you
Michelle

Hi all
I just wanted to make you aware of a scam male escort agency known as http://www.malerecruitment.com
I recently joined in the hope of receiving bookings and after I had payed my “registration” fee I heard nothing back from them. The lady who I spoke to at the centre was called Katrina, she even gave me a unique reference number. I am very disappointed and shocked at how easy this was. In heinsight I perhaps should have researched my criteria first, however, I hope this post helps newbie escorts.
Thanks
Stephen, we need the city, state/province, country.
Thanks
Michelle

Does anyone know of any legitimate escort agencies in England?
I have applied to crimson companions and recieved a similar email to the one listed above. After reading this site, Iw ill definatly NOT be responding to them.
I had also applied to the following two and have spoken to an agent who called me. It all sounded legit., but they want a payment as well. Does anyone know about these two?

I would appreciate comments, thank you
I had a similar letter from Crimson to the one above (Lucy not Liz!!) – very creative, see below – I’ve also included the address Michelle. Thanks everyone for the warning, I thought I’d better check them out before sending cash and found this blog! Thanks.
Has anyone heard of Ideal Escorts UK…they also want a monthly fee of £22.95 (special offer), but their website seems much better, showing existing escorts and warn you about scam sites etc…looks more genuine, but is asking for money and not promising loads of immediate work.

Evening Encounters are one to be aware of! I was scammed for a fee of £373 and since paying the fee, l haven’t heard a word from them. They called with a ficticious booking and stated to confirm the booking with their client l had to pay the fee which l did in cash into their Natwest account, miracoulsly the booking cancelled an hour before.
PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR THIS LIKE I DID

I am still pursuing them for a full refund but as yet had no response from my emails or no returned calls, Zara was the initial whom is always unavailable
Delores
My mistake, it was their Barcalys bank account, account number 93664929, l still have the counter foil as proof of payment, hopefully this will stand me in good stead in my pursual of a refund, l am going all the way with this one!!!
can anyone who has been scammed by crimson companions please email me at [email protected] fao Liam.
I would be willing to act on behalf of people who have been scammed and i will proceed with legal action.
DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH YOUR MONEY??
Hello All. I have been scamed twice from Escort agencies. First one is Guys and girls based in England. in which they told me i was meeting clients but need to pay £385 to set up my profile before hand. I payed the money in to there bank accounts and never heard back from them. I have sent many emails but still no luck.
Also, Companian Fever, England. I payed them £190 and never heard back from them. Im so angry!
Thanks
Try this one, it looks like Wakefield is the hot bed of Escort Agency shananagins. This time a company called Sincere Dating who are based at Riverside View with the same postcode (WF1 5QW), as Crimson.
Like the above, I responded to the company and filled in an on-line profile and got a timely e-mail (within 2 hours), telling me that a lady in her late 20’s was looking to meet me…..woooopppeee I thought! However, thinking this was all a bit too good to be true I haven’t responded yet to their e-mails asking for £150 up front, paid in CASH and to be sent special delivery. Also why would by all accounts, a pretty 20 something be willing to pay £140 per hour for a minimum of 3 hours for a guy nearly 20 years older than her and not in the first flush of youth.
Its a free world as they say, but I don’t think I’m that lucky and smell a rather big and rancid rat here.
I will be making contact with the lovely Sue at Sincere Dating but don’t think I will be needing my best Tux, aftershave and purchasing a single red rose for the lady this coming Friday night……..just like I don’t expect to be winning £10 million on the Euro Lottery either.
As they say ‘Buyer Beware’. If it looks to good to be true it usually is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
