HOW TO AVOID FAKE ESCORT ADS ON THE INTERNET

How To Avoid Fake Escort Ads On The Internet

Searching for a legitimate escort can seem overwhelming, especially since fake ads with fake profile photos are everywhere, littering the internet with tantalizing women and sexually encouraging language.

Scammers will sometimes set up profiles with stolen images and try to take a deposit from you via credit card or cash app and then vanish entirely with your money, they stop responding to text messages and wont take your call. Others may have a legitimate-looking profile but show up looking nothing like their photographs. Thankfully, there are ways to avoid awkward meet-ups, credit card scams and catfishing. Here are a few useful tips to protect yourself and separate the real deal from the scams.

Avoid Fake Sites

The first step in the right direction to locating an authentic escort is to avoid fake websites. Avoid postings on places like kommons and other escort aggregator sites, and look at "agencies" and private sites very carefully. Poorly made websites with too many pop-ups, flashing colours, low prices and "too good to be true" images plastered across the page are dead giveaways that there is someone looking to attract your attention.

If an escort agency or an independant escort demands payment upfront or online, it's likely a scam. Deposits are requested and then the dates are cancelled and the money is never seen again. Unfortunately, in this industry, when caught in the midst of a scam, there is little that can be done to retrieve stolen funds, so it's extremely important to do your research before ever handing money over.

Unless you have word-of-mouth verification that an escort has operated with deposits and it's been proven to be safe, it's best to avoid those situations. This includes protecting your credit card information. If you're asked to provide a card number for any reason (common excuses include age verification or deposits) avoid it entirely, as it is likely a scam artist. Some websites advertise with tempting images of attractive women and pull you into searches that end with a registration process complete with credit card verification. If you need to leave your credit card number just to browse or "register" - steer clear.

Dead giveaways also include a lack of contact information or fake telephone numbers and emails. Legitimate ads will include direct links to authentic escort agencies or websites and will have all the required contact information available for you to reach out and make your inquiry. Genuine escorts want you to be able to contact them and to book. Fake ads will confuse you with misinformation and make it difficult to do anything except browsing attractive profiles and demand deposits and personal information.

For some, it's easy to recognize fake ads that pop up recommending "hot singles" in your area, with absurdly specific targeted marketing, but there are more intelligent scammers out there who are improving their tactics, even going as far as to create fake profiles hidden amongst the real ones. Remember, a scam artist will always try to copy real marketing, so when you search online, you're looking to avoid watered-down versions of the real thing. If you're unsure, there are 3 ways you can identify a fake profile even on legitimate sites.

Read Reviews

In the escort industry, word-of-mouth can be hard to come by. If you're a first-timer, shy or just unsure who to ask, escort reviews are the foremost way to find a genuine escort. When you search for a service, you want to know that you're working with someone who has the experience and who others would recommend. As wonderful as a profile or an ad may be, it's hard to believe the marketing. We want to hear trusted reviews from other people, not just the salesperson.

Most reviews will be authentic, but if you question the authenticity of any of them, you can always copy, paste and Google search for the same phrasing being used across multiple sites. More reviews on an escort's profile generally indicate a real person with genuine experience. Reviews are also an amazing way to make sure that her services, appearance and personality will match what you're looking for.

Most men are a bit uncomfortable discussing hiring an escort via word of mouth, and reviews are the closest thing to a referral that can be given. Check for high ratings, good reviews and positive feedback. There may, sometimes, be little tidbits about things clients didn't like or didn't expect when seeing her, or just general feedback. These are also helpful pieces of information in sorting out the real from the fake, and also making sure that she matches her photographs and really does offer the services she lists.

For a lot of prospective clients, reading multiple reviews helps build an image of a real person in their minds. It lifts an escort off the web page and verifies that, yes, they are real and are out there offering very real services to men just like you. Fake reviews will either be short, standard one or two liners or plagiarized reviews from other sites. The more reviews an escort has, the better. While a scammer may try to falsify a few, they will rarely take the time to make 10 or more fake comments.

Double Check Online Sites Like Escort Rankings

Images on fake sites or profiles may be altered slightly to prevent reverse image searches, so be wary of blurred or cut out faces, over-pixelated or blurred photographs and only one or two photos on their page. Duplicates with multiple names on different websites reveal inconsistencies and would be too unprofessional for a real escort to bother creating.

If you find 12 different profiles using the same image, with different names on each, you should move on to the next one because that's likely a scammer. A genuine escort, if she means business, may have multiple listings on other sites, or her own private website under the same name. That's completely fine! On escortrankings.uk additional resources and outside links are listed clearly underneath profile pictures, making verification much simpler. Click on the external links to verify that they're functional and everything on her profile matches the website.

Thankfully, there are some sites and blog posts dedicated to revealing scams published (often anonymously) by unfortunate past victims. Double-checking the internet helps protect you from getting hit by the same scams, in a similar way to checking Snopes to verify viral stories or fraudulent emails. Many scams occur via email, as opposed to the phone because it's easier to set up multiple "burner" accounts. Be sure to cross-reference the email address you're communicating with or small samples of the phrasing the "escort" is using online to see if anyone has written anything about it before.

While there isn't much that can be officially done, angry victims of scams often take to anonymous posting to try to get some form of justice and prevent things from happening again to more people. Use their stories to your advantage and protect yourself against theft and fraud when searching.

Real Escorts Mean Business

Real escorts take their job very seriously. These women invest in their marketing, photo sessions, outfits, gear, hair, nails, makeup and more, and it shows. Their pages, images and bodies are clean and polished. Cheap images and sloppily produced profiles are not what you should be looking for. A full profile, with a good list of services and contact information, is what you should seek. If she has a full gallery, with many images from different sessions (multiple outfits, hair and make-up), that typically means she has a lot of experience and is looking for ways to connect with real clients.

It's far more difficult and time-consuming for scammers to steal multiple full galleries to post on fake profiles. More than likely, they will only have one or a few, as their profiles are reported and taken down often once they've achieved their goal or have been reported. A professional escort should have full-body pictures, a variety of poses and clear, unpixelated images. Excessive Photoshop doesn't always necessarily indicate a scammer, but it is a good sign that the girl you'll meet won't look exactly like she does in her photos.

Avoid blurred faces and, if possible, old images. It's hard to tell if an image is old but some good guidelines are to check back often for updated photographs. Some escorts mention that they regularly update their photo gallery and are willing to send snapshots of themselves holding a copy of today's paper, or writing today's date or something similar down in a photograph for prospective clients. It helps verify that they are a real person and their gallery is, in fact, up to date. Being able to see an escort's face in her ads and profile is a grey area for some.

While there are real amateurs and other escorts who prefer to keep their identity completely anonymous, it does make it easier for scam artists to steal their photographs and to pass off any girl they send to your door like the one they posted. If you're questioning the authenticity of an escort whose photographs have blurred or cropped faces, check to see if the other criteria are a hit or a miss. Does she have multiple positive reviews? Is it on a legitimate site? Do her contact numbers or links work? If everything else checks out, she may just be seeking to maintain her privacy for her own safety. If not, it should probably be avoided.

A key factor to look out for is where an escort receives clients (incalls) or where she goes (outcalls). If it's an area full of sleazy motels and bad neighbourhoods, it would be best to avoid it altogether. Professionals will receive you in a clean, safe place or meet you in equally established venues. Escorts will also avoid speaking to you sexually until they're "on the clock". Scammers or unprofessional amateurs may try to tempt you into booking by teasing you over the phone and using seductive language. Authentic escorts want you to contact them. They will clearly list all their contact information, services and images for honest clients to browse. Details regarding how they prefer to be reached and how to book are usually available. A big red flag would be broken links in their profile to websites that no longer exist or disconnected telephone numbers. Test everything before you book, and don't hand out personal information online.

Go With Your Gut

The scammers will just be trying to appeal to your desires and urges. Don't let them use sexy language to tempt you into using fake services or giving away personal information. As long as you use these tips to safely sift through the scammers who try to copy the professionals, you'll be able to find those real connections online.
