Fake Escort Agencies

Over the past couple of years there has been a sharp increase of fake escort agencies. These fake companies prey on the weak and exploit people with no remorse. Their goal is simple - to make as much money for as long as they can get away with it. Fake escort agencies often use the medium of the web to find people to con out of money. Fake escort agencies providing female escorts often get pictures from other escort agency websites and use their information as well. When a client books they are often met with a con where they are forced to hand over money and the client becomes to ashamed or intimidated to report the crime to the police. These fake agencies feed on the fact that they can bully people into handing over money and the stigma of the incident will stop them from contacting the police.

The other most prolific fake escort agencies are ones which promise men that they can make thousands as male escorts. They get men to part with huge registration fees and a promise that instantly they will go on dates with women and they are a now a professional male escort. These guys who sign up and part with the money never get interviews or spoken to by person. The fake escort agencies use the cover of a professional website and professional online correspondence to lure and trick money out of people. Not to long ago on of these fake agencies netted a huge amount of money from people.

The real shame is many people that sign up and pay a registration fee to these fake agencies are often in financial difficulty. They are lured by the fake promise of making hundreds of pounds per night. It seems a very good job prospect, so by paying the money for the registration fee they think it is a good investment. These fake escort agency gangs can often make millions from this type of fraud. People that been affected by scams are then reluctant to go to authorities. The ones who were really desperate were reported to have taken out loans to pay off the registration fee. These type of scams are harmful as they can hurt thousands of desperate people who were already facing financial difficulty.

These agencies prey on the clientele that are new to the market, especially first time clients. As they are not fully aware of all the warning signs, these guys are vulnerable to being fooled There needs to be more information about the "scammers" and tips on how to avoid them. Some don;t report falling victim as they feel embarrassed or ashamed. The more that get reported the more that can be shut down. Some do have the determination to report them and more people should be encouraged to. Where there is fake, you can always nearly find a illegal aspect to it. there are nay illegal escort agencies in operation all over the world.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. If you are unsure of an escort service, then do the best thing. Don't use it.
