How to avoid scams
The same problems keep popping up on escort sites: deposits that never come back, photos that aren't the real person, and profiles that disappear. This is what I check in every test and what I recommend you do too.
The Five Rules
- Don't pay anything upfront. No "reservation", no "transport", no "deposit". It's the most common scam. A legit person charges when you meet.
- Don't trust studio photos. If they look like magazine shots or show up on multiple profiles with different names, they're probably fake. Use the reverse image search on Google or Bing.
- Prefer verified profiles. In my reviews I mark with a shield the sites that verify identity or photos. Even so, verified isn't a guarantee: it's just a signal.
- Confirm with a call or video call. A couple minutes on the phone rules out most fake profiles.
- Protect your data. Don't send a photo of your ID or card details over chat. Use a number and email that don't identify you if you want more discretion.
Red Flags
- They rush you ("the promotion ends in 10 minutes").
- They switch channels right away and ask you to move to an app you don't know.
- The price is much lower than the rest of the city.
- They ask for payment with gift cards, cryptocurrencies or transfers to third parties.
- The site forces you to install an app outside the official stores.
If You've Already Been Scammed
- Save screenshots of the conversation, the profile and the payment proof.
- Report the profile on the site where you found it.
- Tell me what happened from contact: I use those reports to lower a site's score or add an alert.
- If the payment was with card or transfer, contact your bank right away.
Always
- Only people 18 and older who are there by their own choice. If you see something that suggests minors or trafficking, report it: I remove it while I investigate and report it to the authorities.
