"Clever" way to steal $50 from the unsuspecting - Backpage

[mvan1]

The first link below will take you to a "new" escort site. The second link will take you to an employment offer to escorts for the same agency shown in the first link.

At the first link, supposedly, clients can select an escort from the escorts shown on display on the site. The rates for escorts is equal to or below the normal rate for escorts in similar areas ($250 hourly).

The catch is, the client must authorize the agency to charge his credit card $50.00 to make an appointment with one of the escorts shown on the site (how clever of the site people). Of course, there is no guaranty that the escorts will show up. You merely get an appointment that may or may not materialize.

If you do a Google image search of the small quantity of "escorts" shown on the site, two of them are currently located in the U.K. even though the site says they are located in the U.S. (not so clever of the site people).

The second link below shows that on Backpage, there is another advertisement offering employment for escorts for this same company.

Among other things, the ad tells prospect escorts, "you will make in the six figures working with us" which might sound enticing to prospective escorts. However, to make the "six figures" income, the escort would have to engage 533 clients in a year. That is a lot of clients.

Furthermore, the so-called employment application does not meet even the most basic requirements of employer/employee agreements. If the ad is real, labor commissioners in the U.S. will be having lots of work to do in the future if an escort complains.

The first link, below, is the site that asks for $50.00 to book.

The second link is for "escorts" at apply for employment with the agency.

If I were in NYC right now, I think I would risk the $50 to find out. (Limiting the risk by using a prepaid card with only fifty bucks on it.)

Curious to watch if anybody gives them a whirl.

I'm happy that Jeff in New York enjoys being "dominate".

Something is rotten in Denmark -

Guy in Australia - age 35

Click on the above site to see the photos and stats of the 35-year-old Australia guy

Then click on the below site to see the photos and description of a supposed escort shown on the new escort site named Keven, age 22:

The photos are of the same person and the photos are more than a decade old.

Not only that, there is a thirteen-year difference in ages between the written description of the two escorts. There is also half a world away difference (Australia versus United States) plus a difference in Nationality and race.

Check out the other escorts on the new agency. More than half the photos appear in other sites in different parts of the world.

I am all for a new agency and think the idea of a new agency is great.

However, this “agency” does not appear legitimate because of the major contradictions in the photos of the supposed escorts and their attributes.

I agree. These discrepancies smell very bad.

Oh, my. I think he needs to wash them.
