Sex is a sacred and sex should not be sold! Thats my view Though I am not so holy I feel this is the truth!
Posted by Dr Kusuma Kumari India on 11 Jan 07
In a society where casual sex is so openly available, infidelity is so common that it's a miracle to find a faithful partner; becoming an escort is one of the most intelligent things a woman can do. Not only does it free you of any financial hardships you may have, selling sex is an extremely powerful business on gaining an element of control back on a world that is so dominated by masculine power.

Posted by amanda on 14 Aug 08
i have just been on the phone to escortopia, never been an escort before but thought i would give it a try. just come on the net to see any views from current escorts!! i havnt paid any money yet but just read this and cant believe it!?? it sounded so genuine. is the website really a scam? are there any that are genuine?!

Escortopia
See comments to other posts here, but yes, it really is a scam.
They are asking you to pay several hundred pounds in order to advertise to yourself. They don't say that, of course, because they want your money, but the mere act of asking you for money before you have cash in your hand from a booking is proof they're a scam.
If you're a woman, and understand that escorting almost always involves being sexual with clients, you probably have a wide choice of genuine agencies. Have a look at saafe.info
Posted by Richard on 15 Aug 08
yep escortopia scammed me to. luckly £219 i lost and not £319 but its not good, gona look into it and see wat happens. wanted that extra cash but i thought it was genuine as the women on the phone was very nice.(sucker i was) and im not normally like that. can anyone help me?fancy sending them a virus if anyone can?
Posted by shane on 23 Aug 08
Hey guys for all you Escorts listen to me carefully Escortopia is a very big scam they dont provide you with any clients or get you any bookings they are a scam total scam if i was you you always carry out reearch on a company before you pay any money out plz
as for those who have lost their monies well its a shame cuz that could have gone to good use, but anyways the real escort agencies are the ones that dont take any money off you to register so be carefull and good luck to you all x chears x

Posted by nicky on 16 Sep 08
Men At Work
Just as much of a scam as Escortopia - might even be the same people behind it. There's more on them elsewhere here.
Standard message: if you're a man looking to escort women, give up now or, if you are so special that you will be picked out of many thousands, find somewhere free to advertise.
Posted by Richard on 16 Sep 08
escortopia......thieving bastards!! it seemed very ghenuine spoke to kate who it would seem is leading the scam!! dont do it.
Posted by danielle on 20 Sep 08
ive not paid money yet but i have been promised work and i dnt no wether to go for it or not because 'stella' sounded very genuine? any suggestions?? x
Posted by natalie on 30 Sep 08
im am so glad i did some research before actually making any payments to them. I have already confirmed all my details with them and they organised my first client but i had to make a payment of £216 before they would fully register me! i am so shocked that this is a scam the woman i spoke too "Layla" seemed so genuine as well.. thanks guys for the info
Posted by carla on 01 Oct 08
I was on the phone to ELLIE from ESCORTOPIA whilst researching them and was reading this as she spoke to me!!! Thank God I didnt give out any bank details! Thanks to all who have made me aware of the scam x
Posted by isabelle on 15 Oct 08
Escotopia are BACK. This time as escotrfever.com. They must have got my email from escotopia and the sales patter was exactly the same.
Posted by rosie on 14 Nov 08
What a difference an S makes...
EscortFever.com looks to be a ordinary boring ad site aimed at US escorts.
There's an interesting discrepency between the price in the FAQ ($49.99) and the pricing page ($69.99, presented as a $60 'saving') but, provided you agree to the disclaimer (US laws on prostitution and porn are very different to the UK), you can actually see people's ads, and visit their websites / discover their contact details.
I'm not going to recommend it (for one thing, it seems to be entirely US-centric) but Escort Fever doesn't look like a scam to me.
EscortsFever.com looks to be less useful. Unlike Escortopia, I can see some people's ads, and some people include contact details in them, although it looks like Escorts Fever would prefer I 'join'.
However I can't read their Terms and Conditions - trying just results in an error message ('Warning! Dolphin cannot work without mbstring extension...') showing which software they're using. Same thing happens when you try to search for someone.
The ads also show everyone as providing 'incall' in Earls Court (the bit of London where SW5 used to be based!) even if they are supposed to be in Edinburg (sic) or Leamington Spa.
So my first impression is tending towards 'really bad place to advertise' rather than 'complete and utter scam'.
A look at some more of the ads reveals that they're publishing just what they're sent: "I love to travel and see new places so i would be keen to have the international package i think, its a long story but from my last break-up i have been a bit screwed financially so i may have to wait a few weeks before i can find the money to join, i am really keen to join and your company sounds fantastic. If enough bookings were available i would also consider having this as a full time job which will allow me to develop my business ideas in my spare time. I wonder, would it at all be possible if i used my first jobs payment to immediately pay my fees to you? This would help me a lot! Its just,well i have just been scammed by an escort company,they took a fee and never contacted me,after a few weeks of texts and calls i have no way of getting in contact with them! So please understand my hesitance, i simply cannot afford to be scammed again thats all!!"
Hmmm. Well, you can at least contact him (presuming that email address is valid). I don't think many people will though...

I've just realised I've been had by escortopia, I'm so gutted,I lost £225. I'm just a single mum wanting to better my childs life style. Can't believe how real it all sounded. I had a date for a friday night, and when I heard nothing I followed up, and my date had been in a 'car acciedent' of all things. My advice stay away from escortopia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, ive had the same problem as everyone eles, been scamed. The post from jonny was very useful as i have found out that Model Couples and Escortopia are actully the same company, in jonnys post, the E-mail sent to him from escortopia, is identical to one i recived from modelcouples.com and the bank details are the same and the company name is the same B M Ltd (it was Blue M Ltd on mine though).
Can anyone shed any light on how to deal with this situation and how i could get my money back. Ive decided to go straight to the police rather than phone Modelcouples and am seeking legal advice, hopefully we can get this sorted out for everyone as this scam has been going on for a long time judgeing by these posts. If anyone has any useful information could you please Email me at BigGthatsme@hotmail.com, thanks a lot, Rob.Posted by Rob on 19 Jan 09

[01/30/09 03:46 PM] [82.203.3.8]why did i get this emssage up when complainign about model couples?
Posted by Roux on 30 Jan 09
**We don't take kindly...*
Every message board that accepts comments gets attempts to 'comment spam': lots of rubbish ads with links to the sites the scum wish to promote.
Here used to get over a hundred such attempts a day (and doubtless still does!) but it turned out that looking for a few characters in each comment filtered out all but one or two spams a month (and that those that do get through are no use to the spammer) while only affecting a tiny number of real posts.
Those were considered a price worth paying for not having to deal with deleting hundreds of spams a day. That may be not how you see it as yours was one of those few 'false positives' wrongly blocked :)
What probably happened is that you tried to post a link that people could click on (starting with 'htt' etc) rather than say just www.modelcouples.com

Hi- thanks so much for posting your comments about modelcouples. I contacted them yesterday and alarm bells were ringing when it sounded like the lady was reading from a script and she was very keen to create my 'profile'. It didn't make sense that they wanted an upfront payment of £265; and that they would not receive any commission from ongoing work ... it just didn't seem they would have any incentive to continually book me out. Thank you for this forum. Modelcouples sounds like a horrible scam. I'm sorry to hear that people have been scammed by this business and I hope that you manage to get some money back.
Posted by Sarah on 05 Feb 09
Hi Everyone.Have just found out this morning that both me & my husband have been scammed. Me by model couples for £263.00 my husband by alpha male for £50.00. We are both now feeling so angry & upset, all we wanted was to make a better life for ourselves. These people are the scum of the earth. I hope no one else gets conned like this though unfortunately i know they will. In future we will be more vigilant. Good luck to all you decent people out there.

COMPANIONFEVER.COM scam.
paid 265.00, a promised booking was cancelled, but they have my money!!! had saved for 3 months to get car back on road. All the money i had struggled to save has gone and the car still still sits on the drive.
I was assured pay trhe fee and it was a definate booking.
Any one else dealt with these??Posted by Suzzanne on 08 Feb 09
Model Couples have been calling me for a couple of weeks now, trying to get me to pay the £263 registration fee. I never felt comfortable with paying, what is effectively a recruitment company, money upfront. I made the usual searches at Companies House, saw that Blue M Ltd has already been dissolved and that the new company registration number they gave me was for a company called Blue Media Ltd, who have nothing to do with their business at all. I have no intention, therefore, of paying any money and would advise people to do the same.
Posted by Steve on 12 Feb 09
i am so glad i have read all of these comments. i almost got scammed by model couples. i am dissapointed as i got my hopes right up, they promised £600 for a four hour booking with no sex, i thought it sounded to good to be true so i searched the internet and found this. so sorry to everyone that get scammed.
Posted by lisa on 16 Feb 09
I have unfortunately paid my subscription to modelcouples, 3 times i was supposed to meet a client, however when i was due to meet, MODELCOUPLES rang me to cancel saying the client had rung me. i now cannot get contact with them? please help.

**hey, just read all these comments in time, nearly paid model couples £300... scum bags!!
thanks guys**Posted by jo on 18 Feb 09
So Model Couples are still at it. Spoke to a girl Tabitha who was all too keen to sign me up. Seems like they are getting smarter as she kept on saying I was under no obligation and then that I would have to pay a yearly fee of £300 something once my first booking was confirmed. Total scam!

COMPANIONFEVER
Just been ripped of by this site. I paid £195 into their account at a Barclays Bank - pais into Account marketing & promotions Ltd. - sort - 20-40-71, acct 33701352. My booking was cancelled - apparently I didn't answer the phone when my mystical "client" called. I called Companion fever to complain about this. They said they would look into it and now I can't get through to them! This is a scam. Don't be sucked in like I was. Anyone else been scammed by them, let me know. Anyone know what I can do about it?Posted by Frank on 21 Feb 09
I have been speaking to "Scarlett" from Adorabelles.co.uk - same situation to what i'm seeing written here, wanting the "insurance registration" Allegedly i have a booking next weekend and will make 1200 cash, however i haven;t paid any money yet.
The Bank details I got emailed are:
Express Media Ltd
Nat West Bank
Account Number: 67338178
Sort Code: 60 – 15 – 29I also noticed that their website is exactly the same layout and information and terms and cons as modelcouples and companionfever.
This is really worrying and i'm sorry to all of you that have been scammed but thank you for posting your experiences. Lets hope more people do their homework and these people get what's coming to them!
Posted by Melissa on 25 Feb 09
Hey everyone its Rob,
Just to let you know, I have come no further with retreing my money. I have been in contact with the police and i was told that it is a civil matter not criminal so it is up to trading standards. Trading standards are well aware of the problem but seen helpless in doing any thing about us getting our money back.
I think the best thing we could all do, is try and find some media attention and make the problem well known so that;1 - other people dont make the same mistake, and stop model couples/compainon fever/esortopia/adorrabels so they dont make any more money.
2 - with media attention we could find someone who can actully help us get our money back (solicitors.
3 - trading standards would listen.
If anyone has any ideas on a good way to get media coverage or works/knows someone who works at a media company (magazines, radio, TV) it would be a great help if you could e-mail me at BigGthatsme@hotmail.com
Thanks for the emails i have already recived and im sorry that i could not be of anymore help.

HI guys, I have just got off the phone with 'Alex' from model couples. i said to her that it all sounds too good to be true she giggled and said thats what they all say. Shes said if i sign up now and pay the sum of £374 to any Natwest branch i will have a job tomorrow and earn £600 up front. I re checked the website and found that it wasnt a registered company. she also gave me the number of COMPANY HOUSE in new zealand...IT DOESNT EVEN EXIST!
ive just found this website and want to thank you all for taking the time to warn people like me about this company!!! THANK YOU!
p.s - 'Alex' is ringing back in 20 mins...ill show her whos boss!!!

Hi everyone.
Just to keep you updated on my progres with Companionfever. I have had a few conversations with them. I told them I was amazed that before I handed my money over they were able to come up with 2 bookings for me ( the 1st one I couldn't go ahead with as I didn't have the money to pay them). Since I handed my money over, the 2nd booking cancelled (if indeed it ever existed) and nothing else has been put to me. I was tole that they only actively market their "escorts" at the beginning (before they get any from them) and after that, it's up to thier "clients" to select an escort from the website and ask for a booking. Basically, it's definately a scam. They even put my wrong age and height on the website! When i told her I knew it was a scam etc. she didn't seemed upset by my comments and remained very calm - obviously they receive alot of calls like this and so know how to react. These are all scam artisits, please,, please don't anyone become seduced by them. I was desperate and gullible and fell for it and that's what they rerly on. Do not part with any money. if you register for regular work with a regular recruitment agency, you will never be asked to part with money so why should these be any different. By the way, the names of people I have spoken to at Companionfever are obviously false names too. They are Bailey, Tia and Chelsea (couldn't come up with worse names if I tried).
Posted by Frank on 27 Feb 09
I was going to join Model Couples! Im so glad i found this site! I wasnt paid so i couldnt transfer the money and im so glad that i didnt! I was so sucked in! I spoke to a woman called Eva who seemed very nice and a woman called Leanne or Lorraine! I have just realised that the websites for model couples and companion fever are more or less exactly the same!
This is so sad that people are doing this! Sounded to good to be true i suppose!
Found anpther site which seems very similar glamour-international.co.uk!
Watch out! Dont be fooled! If it seems too good to be true it probably is!!! Sorry for everyone else who did get scammed! Easily done!!Posted by Shorty on 27 Feb 09
Does anyone have any feedback on manstrokewoman.com? or indeed where you find a genuine agency? I sort of get the drift about a genuine company not asking for a fee to register in advance but I've no idea where they exist or how to look for them.
Many thanks!

hi everyone!...
So about 6 weeks ago (companions for you) contacted me and said they had bookings for me!
As long as I paid £470.35 into their account the next day!
Unfortunatley I saw pound signs and stupidly paid the money!
The details were :
Barclays, account name: BMLIMITED
SORT: 205306
Acc: 73265536
The only time I hear from them is if I ring them and complain about no contact. They fob me off with a story about how it's quiet this time of year an can't do anymore than they already do.
It's all a lie!!! Do not give them money!I am getting on the case to get some legal action and hopefully money back! But need anyone to email me If they have any info that could help! The more of us together, somebody has to do something!

WHEN YOU JOINED THEM?... HOW MUCH?... WHAT THEY TOLD YOU?... where you paid it into?..HOW LONG AGO THEY CONTACTED YOU?...WHERE YOU'RE BASED?...HOW YOU HEARD ABOUT THEM?....
AND SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU KNOW ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD IT DONE!!i need as many people to send me stuff as possible to help get this going.
thanks everyone!!adamlewis181@aol.co.uk

I was just about to be scammed by modelcouples.com
My best mate has just paid her fee and is currently on the phone with them and even after she is reeling reason after reason why they are fraudsters they still come up with more and mroe reasons why they are the best company around! Im gutted and so angry, Im shocked that our legal system in ths country cant even help us out one bit. I fully understand its technically our own problem because we didnt clearly research it enough. Im so sorry to all of you who have been conned by these pathetic people.

has anyone rang them up pretending to be a client interested in an escort?
Posted by anon on 06 Mar 09
hi everyone, ive been reading all your comments about how youve all been scammed by so called escorting agencies... well guess what im so glad i read this, im in dealings with a company called ADORABELLES I have spoken to April, such a lovely freindly lady, butter wouldnt melt in her mouth,or so i though until i came across this site, looks like ive been saved by the adora(BELL) so to speak, this is what they wanted... £270.25p for a basic portfolio.... and £370.25p for the photographic portfolio.
Anyway she said she could find me at least 3-4 meets a week,even before she'd even seen what i looked like, which started alarm bells ringing, i have currently come out of work, same as many people at this very hard time with a recession on going and was going to lend the cash to pay there so called insurance fee... but ive been putting it off as sumthings didnt add up.... anyway going back to my dealings with APRIL...AT..ADORABELLES. She had found me my first meet ,wich would take place sum 3days later, but id need to pay the money to be able to work.. she told me i was meeting katie, a fittness instructor and life coach who was in my area for a week, she was 31 5'7 slim and attractive and wanted to meet twice,in the week she was in my area.. the meet would just be a dinner invitation and no more than 3hrs in total, earning my the healthy sum of.....wait for it....£600.. yes thats right for three hours work.. and they would even send out a private car to pick me up from my home, take me to the venue ,wait for me then transport me home, how fantastic is that, anyway ive been trying to hunt down there info on the net without any luck ,until i came across this message board..... like i said everything im reading is matching my experiences.... the insurance fees, the fantastic clients they find for you in a flash, the high amounts of money your going to recive, even the renouned BM.. or Blue M limited bank account to pay my money into.... by the way the details for that are ......
ADORABELLES BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS
BM LIMITED
Ac No...73265536
Sort code .. 205306there email address is info@adorabelles.co.uk
Tel.... 08712464851ive been in contact with them over a week now and they have called me about 4times... i even had a call just tonight from *BROOKE* another member of staff to remind me to pay my fees into the bank tomorrow because barclays bank shuts at 12pm... and she could get me 3 bookings if my payment was recived by monday morning....hahahaha
anyway thanks everyone for your interesting reading, and to all thoese out there that have lost money to these arseholes, im really sorry that you were taken for a ride... im just lucky i found this message board before i handed cash over...

i just wanted to say i have been ripped off today, by delightful stars please tay away they are all part of the same group and they are just taking our money. I even said to the "lovelly lady janet" that i would be wiping my account clean with this payment and i have two children that i need to feed for the rest of the month so i pleaded with her that this was going to happen she was great and assured me!!!!!!!!!!!!! how wrong could i be, i have no idea what i am going to do for the resst of the month its very wrong. i was happy with this site as it was non sexual they know what they are doing please dont fall into this trap if the company is asking for money upfront its a scam. they will tell you it is for insurance reasons ive looked into it and there is no such thing required please learn from all of us on this site who have been left with nothing,
Posted by lisa on 08 Mar 09
oh, hun. i am so sorry. i'm praying that something will be done about it. but i'm not holding my breath, i will be giving them a piece of my mind if they ever call me again.
best of luck. xPosted by christine on 08 Mar 09
I have contacted several magazines about these ongoing scams and hopefully the stories will be printed to prevent this happening over and over again... delightful stars are part of the group escort fever so beware people xx

I am currently it seems being primed by adorabelles i have to say i realised it was a scam, had been speaking to Paige. She is non stop calling me, telling me she has some bookings for me always in Chigwell and a man staying at the prince regent who is a property developer from America.(it couldn't be just some ordinary guy now could it?) How ridiculous, i shall not be paying their fee and if they call again i shall be giving them a piece of my mind for all the others who got robbed. Many thanks!

MODEL COUPLES
i was quite impressed with the website, it all looks so profesional, i spoke to a lovely girl called lorraine who seemed so genuine, she gave me all the banter and i was gulliable.
i was supposed to give them there fee on friday to which i was transfering via online banking, i supposedly had bookings for friday and possibly saturday. as soon as i told them i transferred the money, not 1 phone call until today tuesday, i was left an answer phone message, saying that i should call them back as i've had interest in my profile.
how can i have i profile?? i cancelled the transfer therefor have not registered.

Hi,
Oh my god, I knew it was too good to be truth! Just spoken to Jasmin from Adorabelles. They are apparently based in Docklands. Whatever, might as well be on the MOON!! Are they changing their names each time they pick up the phone?? 1st thing wasnt right for me that when you goole adorabelles their website is not coming up! THANK GOD for this forum guys!! I just sent them some pics, did anyone have to do this as well? Anyway, when she calls back i will tell her- thanks but no thanks!
Be careful in the future all, this sort of thing doesnt happen in a real world!! All the best with finding what you're looking for. In the meantime, I'm still unemployed, being made redundant 3 weeks ago from an office job. Might as well go thru the hassle and get something proper, without loosing money for nothing!!Posted by Sylvia on 12 Mar 09
Hi guys
Thanks so much for flaggin up the truth behind adorabelles!! I was going to action the payment tomorrow but having read your reviews can see its a total scam and have just sent them a get lost email!!!

Hi Guys,
I have just saved a friend from being scammed by escortcouples.com by reading this site and doing some research into them.
I have a lot of conections and they are currenty looking into tracing the people involved in modelcouples.com.
I will publish any information I find on here.I have been in the adult industry for about 6 years now and the main advice I can give you all is to NEVER pay a regestation fee to any comapny who will employ you! This is going to be a scam!
From a business point of view, they may ask clients to pay, but never a worker.
If anyone has more info on modelcouples.com please e-mail me: sarah.guildfordgold@yahoo.co.uk.
I will track them down.....

I am *SO* glad that I stumbled across this thread! I consider myself to be somewhat sensible and grounded, but I too was very close to being scammed by *JAZMINE* at *ADORABELLES*. Of course, I was thinking of the easy money (and I love going out on dates).
Jazmine sounded absolutely lovely, and I bought almost everything she said...She has set up two dates for me- this Friday and Saturday, both with a top music producer (39 and gorgeous, apparently) from the States who is here working with some 'famous' star...(that's when I started to wonder). To give her credit though, she did it well- she even asked if I have any food preferences as this guy was wondering where to book for dinner. 'He' is staying at the Four Seasons and we were to attend an industry party on Saturday night (yeah right).
The latest email from 'Jazmine'...

Alarm bells started ringing when I realised that the name of the bank account wasn't 'Adorabelles'. There is very little information on the net about the company so I am very lucky to have found this site. I am supposed to pay the money by this Friday. I feel terrible for everyone who actually got scammed. Hopefully karma will work its magic.
Ps. Someone mentioned that Adorabelles are based at Canary Wharf?! Jazmine actually told me that they're near Gatwick. Nice.Posted by K on 19 Mar 09

Don't believe addresses used by the scammers
I strongly suspect that the Harley Street address will be an 'accommodation address': a service that provides a posh (and respectable!) sounding address to anyone who pays them.
Similarly, I would doubt that any of the addresses associated with the domains are real. If they are lying and it is a .uk domain, you can complain to Nominet who may take the domain off them.
Someone somewhere has done a search on where the various domains are actually hosted and that showed some interesting results.
But the main people laughing all the way to the bank are doing so in Spain.
Posted by Ian - XW5 on 20 Mar 09
Just to let you all know I have contacted the domains of the sites and informed them of this problem - it clearly states in most user agreements that no activity should be illigal. I doubt they will take any notice though.
I have also contacted Nominet regarding the .uk sites as its also in breach because the registrants 'address' is not in the uk.
As for the bank account details. I have a friend that works for Natwest - I have passed on the details and he will look into it as and when he can. Bearning in mind he is putting his job on the line for this, it may take some time.
I also have a friend who heads the London City Fraud Detection Squad. He is logging all of this down (including things written on here). He is going to bring this to the attention of his superiors.
I have made it my pet project to find out as much as I can about these people.
I will keep everyone updated as I go along.

Hi all. Firstly I'd like to thank the creator of this website and all the people that have placed thier messages here, you've all just saved me time and money (although I never really had the cash any way). Modelcouples are waiting for me to call back and I think I'm gonna have some fun with them.
I'm really sorry that there are people out there that didn't see this first and don't seem to be getting any help through the police, but the fact that you've still commented here means a lot to everyone.
Is there a chance that this website can be made more visable when searching for escor...sorry "companion" work. So that when looking for this sort of job this link will pop up in a search engine first? Either that or just do something to their web page. Fighting fire with fire maybe!?
Posted by Darren on 23 Mar 09
Have also had dealings with *Model Couples* but luckily didn't hand over my money.
I did phone Consumer Direct and they have taken all the details including this website.
Lets make sure these people are stopped!I agree this site needs more exposure

i've just been speaking to 'dawn' at adorabelles and she's managed to set me up with a 'client' on friday, a 31 year old female, all i have to do is pay £385.25 to register my profile etc...
i too got carried away with the prospect of easy money, but had the good fortune to come across this board when i decided to do a check for bad press!
Thanks to everyone who's contributed already and saved me losing a substantial sum of cash when i'm not even working at the moment.
i was given the same bank and contact details, if i discover anything new, i'll post it on here.

Recently just went on a website called www.glam-international.co.uk advertised as a "companion" site, i phoned up and got through to a person called Jamie, after speaking to him he insisted that he would find me work, as a "companion" and that it would be £600 for up to 4 hours work, i wouldnt have to sleep with anyone and that the recession doesnt hit rich businessmen.
So i deposited £295, it would of been £395 but i told him i really couldnt borrow that much, so he dropped the price down to £295 and said that he had spoke with his manager to get it at a student rate,but anyway i put it into his natwest bank account in cash.
I was confirmed a booking for that friday, friday came and a woman called me about an hour before that the client had been involved in a car accident and would not be able to make it, but that the client would call me himself, after they had given my number to him without permission to do so. I then called the next day and Jamie said he had heard nothing about it and would try to sort out more bookings and would call me within an hour...he never called.The client also never called.
Then i got a call a couple of days later (after i had tried and failed to get through) he said it was a follow up call to say that they were looking for work for me desperately and are in the process of looking. nothing for 2 days then he calls again to let me know that he is looking still. i am totally screwed if this is fake as i was leant the money. wish i had seen this website first >:- CR

hi, i was just looking up a company called ADORABELLES when i saw this website. i have been in contact with this agency about them getting me work escorting. I have been in this work awhile so i was abit wary as to what they were telling me as it was just to good to be true. i spoke to a women called kerry who was really friendly and said that she could get me work im my area if i payed depending on what profile i wanted it started at £269 without a photo £345 with and 450 for a years contract with photos ect i would be payed £600 just for turning up and if it went further i got to keep whatever i charge for personal services. i was abit surprised as most agencys just take commission and not a lump sum but just thought i would se how it went (i hadnt payed any money to them) anyay a day later kerry rang to say she had me a client that was a property devloper from america called brett that was in england to do up a house and that he would be a great client to get, a private car would pick me up take me to his place wait for me and then take me home and that would b charged to his credit card (they do talk the talk)thats when she said that i needed to make the payment and she would send me a email to give me the details to make the payment. i knew then that something just wasnt right this client was was paying alot of money yet he hadnt even saw a picture of me i had only gave a brief description and im sure you would want to see them 1st. theres something very dodgy going on and im waited for them to ring back as on there website theres no contact details and becouse its supposidly a private members only you cant access the website i would be very very careful as this is nother scam just in a different ADORABELLES name they seem lovely but thats for a reason i i was looking it up on the web wen this site came up plz plz watch out for ADORABELLES**
Posted by HANNAH on 27 Mar 09
just a quick note much like many others about being scammed, the company is "guys and girls" and lady i spoke to was ruby, paid £270 into nat west account 67338178 sort 60-15-29 express media ltd ( sounds familiar adorabelles) cannot beleive i have been so stupid !!!!. I will find these people as my partner is very well connected to all sorts of people being in the legal profession so just in case anyone from guys and girls is reading this we will find you.We are confident we have found your address already from the bank account details and connections within the bank so they can expect a visit. I feel sorry for anyone who gets scammed and this website needs a lot more profile as i can imagine lots of people fall for this, it is nothing to be ashamed of so make people aware add a posting on this site

go on a website called www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ you need to check that whatever your thinking of joining has a registered compan .. but dont let this fool you ... model couples.com is registered but they are a scam .. the best thing i can suggest is never pay to join ANY kind of agency ... an always google their phone number first .... the directors of model couples.com are from turkey called anne eveline izgol they own ALOT of scam companies out there so ohnestly unless its free to join .. DO NOT JOIN ANYTHING!!!!

Me and my friend also got scammed by model couples. We are both generally quite grounded and I even stated to her it is probably a scam, we went ahead anyhow as we need to pay our student fees. Makes me angry but to be honest I really do not believe we will get out money back.
I am going to remember this, and it shall defo teach me a lesson that nice people can be fuck heads!!Posted by Alisha on 04 Apr 09
i cant believe me & my friend got scammed for £380! i hate those biches at model couples! charlie, alex & tabatha sound so fukin nice on the fone, they say everything to suck u in. me n friend split the cost at 50-50, and thought that if i book a job then we'll split the profit and then she'll sign up if it all went well.
i started having a bad feeling on wednesday night after we paid the money, as i did not recieve any calls from french andre, who is supposidly so "charming".
on thursday morning me and my friend kept calling to get info about what was going on, charlie kept saying dont worry he will call, at 3pm my friend found this website, i told charlie that i know this is all a scam and i want my money back, she denied it and said the bookings deptamnt said everything is ok. i kept calling back and they kept fobbing me off and saying everything is fine and no refunds, we r a registered compnay blah blah!
finally at 6pm they called and said that andre had tried calling me and i didnt answer and he used another agency! wot bullshit!
i remember though at 11am on thursday i reicevd a missed call on my number, it only rang a few rings and when i tried to answer it they disconnected the fone. i know that model couples rang me and pretended to be andre,coz wen alex rang me at 6pm she was so persistant that he called me at 11am. she obviously knew that coz it was her who was fukin calling me!
i told her that i knew this was gonna happen coz i read this thread and they told me that model couples do this all the time and cancel bookings at the last minute. she said that this is not a scam and that she is gonna try n get me another booking by next week hat a lyig whore!
i got my user name n password though today n it actually works on the website, everybodies profile description is the same though, lol!i rang trading stndards n they said that they r gonna call me bak withing the next few days, they said it is unlikely that we get r mony back unless we can find them n take them to a small claims court. apparently the police cnt help us coz it is a civil matter but i dont thinkl so coz it's fraud!
we all need to get together n call watchdog or sumthing!!
if i find u charlie, im gonna fuk ur life up bitch!!!

i think we should all give our contact details to one person, i have read these threads n i think that sarah, adam n gman (im not sure if these r exactlt right) should be in charge of this, i thing if we all get together we can do something, n hopefully get r money bak!
i am willimg to help in as mucha as possible

Adorabelles, kinda thought this was a scam, why would anybody send a man to see a lady without doing a security check on them first!! At the moment India, call me Indi is ringing me every few days with a prospective new client, as luck would have it I haven't been available, I wonder how many times she will ring me before she gives up.
A much more obvious scam is by a company called Male Escort Services, applied on line, didn't hear for a few days then a text, "was I available to meet a lady on Thursday", sounded promising, then a second text, "lady's name Lucy aged 33, meet in hotel in Bayswater, taking me to dinner", sounded very promising, then the third text, as not officially registered can I sent £70 registration fee ahead of meet? Ching, alarm bells rang, text them back saying they would need to trust me I would send them money from first date, their response, no couldn't do that, I text them suggesting this had a Nigerian ring to it, never heard from them again!! Now there's a surprise
I'll keep searching for a proper escort site, will let you know how I get on.Posted by Peter on 06 Apr 09
I was close to going with companion fever, but glad i've been searching the net to find this kind of info out.

I still signed up parted with £460 and yes the lady I had supposedly lined up called Barbarah cancelled with (ladies problems) Apart from the thought of £600 I was looking forward to the meal as hadnt eaten all day in prep. Oh well bastards!!! They are making an absolute forgtune. Best to go it alone and advertise your self.

my daughter has just been scammed by Companionfever unfortunately she did not speak to me before paying £195 for their "insurance" she is totally distraught I have e mailed the company after speaking to Trading Standards pointing out they do not have a company address on their website and asking for the name and address of their insurers and underwriters - how surprising they have not given this information. Does anybody know this companys address and if they are uk based cant find anything. Oh and the guy my daughter was to meet was a 27 year old american - how cute and what a total load of bullshit.

Hey y'all,
THANK YOU to SW5 and all of you for this forum!
Modelcouples.co.uk is a great looking site but until I found this thought they were genuine!
Spoke to the lovely Charlie, who took my details and wanted me to send over a picture! How disappointed they will be that I wont!
Complete scam. I have escorted before and even on the phone I knew it was fake.
Posted by DHO on 18 Apr 09
i feel for all of you, i've been a victim too, unfortunatly there is more escorts then *real clients*, but try to make a deal with them, and don't pay any money.
the same kind of scams happens with model agencies, do you pay any money for job agency? no, so escort agencies must be the same.
best of luck to all of youPosted by Pedro on 19 Apr 09
Wow, what a life saver this site is. Nearly parted with £251.83 to adorabelles! As a desperate single mum, Im so glad I saw this site first, as was gonna pay it 2mrw!! Apparently they only take cash now paid into Lyods! As was gonna give my card details, I guess the banks are getting wise, so this is why they are only taking cards!! I too explained my dilema, and yes they are all cold hearted cunts who will get their come upance at some stage, I really believe that!!

just been scammed by adorabelles! spoke to Nessa. Had such a bad feeling about it, but did not find this page to confirm my hesitation. Is there anyway that these people can be caught? it looks like people have been scammed by them for months...and still nothing is done. can't google take there site off their search or police track them done? had been saving to go overseas and back to square one! how do these people sleep at night!

Hi, does anyone have any info on Glam-International as they have told me I have work for 2 days. I asked for some information to be sent and all I was given was there Bank details as follows -
Our Bank Details are:-Natwest Bank - Account - Glamour International
Sort Code 60 -24 - 77 Account Number 18680186
I belive it is a scam, as the website look uncannily like ModelCouples. I have been sketchy with them as they are very vague!!!!! I dont see why they would expect money up front for #600 a night?
Posted by Joe on 23 Apr 09
Well I have just unfortunately joined the Model Couples scam, with all the stories I have just read being spot on with my own experiences.
There are so many people who have been caught it seems to me sensible for all of us to get together and take action against the company or its owners.
Anyone interested??
Posted by Del on 24 Apr 09
Yes we all need to get together. My friend and I have both just paid a £230 registration fee to COMPANION FEVER.
They sounded totally legit and professional and arranged a double companion booking for us as we were nervous doing our first job alone....and low and bhold...the job was cancelled 2 hours before!
I don't want to put my details on here but I am not letting them get away with this SCAM and am happy to group together and take some action against them.
I just wish that I would've read this before we signed up with and trusted these scum bag women!! They are due some bad karma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Posted by s on 24 Apr 09
Can someone put an email address on here that has been scammed by COMPANION FEVER so we can fuck them over like they have with us. I am totally LIVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We should all go outside their office and pour an industrial sized bucket of gloss paint all over the scum bag COWS at COMPANION FEVER!!!!!!
Posted by s on 25 Apr 09
report them to the police with all details of whom you spoke with account details all info you have etc because essentially what they are doing is actually classed as fraud and false advertising both of which can also be sued for but the fuckers will open up another website under a diff name so the main culprets have to be traked down etc.
Posted by k on 26 Apr 09
This is a HUGE SCAM!!! don't be fooled! I have been stupid and just parted with money - I had many doubts but these people are pros at it! You seem to speak with the "top sales person" then you get the dregs of the office when you have parted with your money & there never was a booking! the mad thing in all this is that I have never been so roped in before. I was a model and my no 1 golden rule was never to part with money to any agency that says they can get me work because I always thought a agency worth their salt would work as hard as the could to get you bookings, after taking your money what insentive do they have! I went to Companion Fever. It is so shit and I can't believe these people are so low - praying on good, honest people that just want to better themselves. I got them to mail me with all details, bank account, how much I would get,what I was being booked for etc. Obviously I have the account details and it't plastered all over here so you would think that it may be tracable and of course with the emails??? It is just about tracking the silly, fat old whores. If you are reading this I think going it alone to get your money back but surly if we have enough people we will have more clout to hit them with. I am going to go to the ASA, Trading standards,and also speak with the bank as I think at least if that bank account was watched they may be able to do something. It has to be quick tho because I'm guessing these scammers are fast movers and thay will be on to the next one as soon as possible. I really hate them, they are so sad & I'm so gald I don't live my life like those horrible nasty women. Good luck everyone x x x

MODEL COUPLES
Ah I paid my money to the lovley Barbara *LAST* Thursday, so that's a week and a half now...and guess what? Not a sausage. 380quid to a bunch of very very rich multi-named actresses. It is absolutly ridiculous that anyone in this country and in this century can be getting away with such a scam. I feel stupid and wish I would have read this first. I demanded a refund from Model Couples this morning only to be told 'we don't do refunds 'cus...erm...we're a registered company'. Registered to who?! Some rich Turkish businessman probably! Also, I understand that the reception that you go through to on the phone when you first ring will be the same for Adorabelles/Companion Fever because it is all the same company. I'm shocked that this can happen in this country. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't pay out ANY money to Model Couples. No matter how lovely Barbara is.
Posted by Emma on 27 Apr 09
Thank god i read this before paying out any money to ADORABELLES I was going to pay £458.00 into thier bank Yesterday but lucky for me missed the bank.

Having looked at a number of sites the best way to be a male escort is to use your money to set up your own web site - would be cheaper and if nothing else you would learn how to deusgn and build a web site - its easy with the free tools on the internt
Posted by steve on 28 Apr 09
Thank GOD for this site. My friend was on the site ready to be scammed until I spotted this site.
The name of the temptress this time was Indie. Her chat was follows:
Local Fee: £251
Nationwide Fee: £366
International Fee: £555A client was ready for him, all he had to do was pay the fees. The name of the Client was Celina, a 21 year old who was a daughter of one of the clients.
These guys try to be thorough but you must listen to common sense especially when it sounds too good to be true.
They asked for a local taxi number and their address so they can arrange for a pick-up by a taxi all expenses paid. They went even further to ask about the type of foods he like, I assume to make you think it is all legit.The bank details in Scotland are as follows:
LLoyds Tsb: B.Media Limited
Accn: 000 578 01
Srt Cd: 30 95 24His reference number was IND37
SO DONT BE SCAMMED.

They've made a FORTUNE out of us all being naive and trusting and we all deserve our hard earned MONEY BACK!!
They're obviously ALL the same company with the same template websites so let's all form a group and help each other to get justice against these con artist old SLAPPERS at COMPANION FEVER, ADORABELLES,GUYS AND GIRLS, GLAM-INTERNATIONAL, ESCORTOPIA and all the rest of the SCAMMERS!!!!!!Posted by s on 29 Apr 09
Add another one to the list of Model Couples victims. I paid £263.35 into their account yesterday afternoon. I was (at first) feeling reassured that they don't take credit cards, because giving CC details can be problematic, with details being sold on, and so on.
The real reason they don't take them, I imagine, is that the consumer is far better protected from fraud if a CC is used... my bank can't do anything to help (but read on) because the payment has now gone through.
However, they have a fraud department, who may be able to put some pressure on, but in essence, any refund (should we be so lucky) will be because Blue M *choose* to do it. There's little or nothing that the bank can do to force them to.
It seems bizarre that they can't simply reverse the payment when a dispute is raised, but they can't.
If my bank gets nowhere, I'll ring these hideous people and gently point out the provisions of the Distance Selling Regulations which allow any transaction carried out over the internet, or in your home, or basically anywhere that is not a registered place of business, to be cancelled within (from memory) 14 days - maybe 7 days.
I'm not optimistic.
Police next, then Trading Standards.
A word about Small Claims - I run a small business, and have used the Small Claims procedure four times - on two occasions, I won the case, but didn't get any money. Too complex to explain why, but I promise you that if someone knows the ropes, and this lot clearly do, it's easy to avoid paying up, even if the claimant throws even more money in (as we did) to execute a warrant. Sadly, it's a bit of a toothless tiger in many cases.

I have also been stung by these people. Wish i had seent his site earlier. they took £750 from me and also £750 from my sister. Does anyone know where we can find these people?
Posted by Dave on 08 May 09
I was on the verge of asking my best friend to lend me the £400 Glamour International were asking for me.
I was given the same story - I had a 29 year-old woman lined up in my area (miraculously!) and she was even flexible when I said I couldn't make Thursday night! Why would she rearrange when she could get someone else at the drop of a hat?!? But of course, the lure of £600 tomorrow and another £1200 at the weekend blinded me to the obvious scam.
When I asked for their company number, you'll never guess what 'Katie' said... "oh, the person who knows it has just left the office for the day!" Sure. How unfortunate! So I googled them and found this site (and a couple of others), which confirmed my suspicions. So I'm afraid they won't be getting my £400 - and hopefully sites like this will stop them getting other people's as well.
Thank you.

Hi guys,
I’ve recently returned from travelling around the world. Having VASTLY over spent and being a student, I needed to make some quick cash. So I googled "become a male escort".
Of course, Modelcouples.com came up first. Very appealing, the lure of insane money in contrast to the hours worked, and having a very enjoyable time.
First I spoke to “Pat”, who was so charming and friendly. She set up my profile, complimenting me on my sense of humour and we chatted for a rather long time. I even wrote an email to their head office (Presumably an evil lair in a hollowed volcano somewhere in the pacific.) to compliment their choice of staff, and say how friendly and pleasant she was.
I assume this touched her conscience a little because Pat no longer dealt with me. This time it was Tabatha, who was much more concerned with getting my money in the pot. She said she would get me a client and that payment must be made before 12 noon on the day of meeting.
Now that was just yesterday. So, last night just before I went to sleep it struck me… Why when I type in “male escort” modelcouples.com was no where to be seen. Surely if your and escort company, you want your page to pop up first, correct? In actual fact, the only time it comes up is if you search for “become a male escort”. Also when I was first searching for an agency, I stumbled across a few pages that were identical to Model Couples with the exception of a different colour theme. The escort epiphany I just had suggested that they were after maximum recruitment and no concern for attracting clients. In other words -- bent as a bottle of crisps.
In short, I’m looking forward to their next call...
I am, however, in a rather beneficial position. I have not laid any money down on the table as of yet, and they do not realise I know they are crooks. So I will be recording every call from now on. I will play them as they have played some of you, say that I will have the money by X day, then move the goal posts until we can (together, as a conned community) use my position to trap them.
Anyone interested in putting our heads together, can contact me on creatine_rush@hotmail.co.uk
Also if you could keep me updated on any progress made with these fraudsters.
Cheers

Hi guys, well arn't we the silly ones?!! Totally gutted my friend and i decided to go ahead with COMPANION FEVER.COM and have been totally scammed, we each paid the £230 for the registration booking and had a client the following fri like a day or so after we payed. We then got a phone call to say the double booking we were suppose to on was cancelled, mark and james (brothers) flight had been cancelled!!!!! it has been cancelled ever since. I'm so pissed off, went over drawn to get that money out thinking i was making more, i didn't even have money for food shopping, sad i no!!!! please don't do it!!!!!! if there is n e one out there with any ideas please put them on.x.

Posted by anne marie lally on 15 May 09
oh my god. I'm totally screwed.I borrowed that money from my mum, whose since gone into arrears coz i couldnt pay her back. I thought it was a sure thing as 'Alex' from model couples told me then I got the same email saying the client had tried to call me blah blah blah.
seriously how do these people sleep at night?Has anyone actually ever had a 'booking' that hasnt been cancelled?
Also, has anyone made any progress with regards to getting their money back?
Never thought I could scammed out of this much money, its truly sickening what these people do.
Posted by aimee on 17 May 09

Can't thank everyone enough on this site, i got the call tonight from Katey at ADORABELLES that she had clients interested, and i only joined last night, so no money paid.
I just feel so so sorry to the people that have paid money, you have all got something that these scumbags will never have A HEART i don't know how they sleep at fu""in night and if i ever catch up with any of these assholes including KATEY with her broad glasweigen accent then i will personly drag the bas""rds to the nearest police station.
Add me to any lists or protests etc.Posted by Ellis in Scotland on 19 May 09
I found it very odd that I also spoke to Katey (scottish) from adorabelles and I also spoke to a scottish woman from model couples, I knew straight away something was not right as they both sounded like the same woman. Also the girl that answered the phone to both companies sounded exactly the same.
Unlike most of you I have not given the assholes any of my money.Posted by Lisa on 20 May 09
I'm SO glad I decided to research before committing to modelcouples! I've been hounded since I sent the initial email and have a 'booking' with a 29 year-old American, ha! But before they confirm, I have to pay the £300 registration.
Because I smelled a rat, I asked if I could pay the fee once I've had my first successful assignment and they waffled on about licensing and registration, etc. What a joke. So when they ring tomorrow I will be referring to this site and ask that they remove any information they have about me since this is CLEARLY a scam.
I'm still interested in doing something similar though, any legit suggestions?
Posted by Robert on 21 May 09
I almost fell for it, spoke to some woman Tabitha the conversation was going niceley until she started asking me a few personel questions, then she got all dirty and asked me how big my dick was I tried to laugh it off but found it very embarrasin as i was only wanting social bookings, anyway put me straight off she wont be gettin my money.
Posted by John on 21 May 09
oh my gosh i also have handed over £263 to model couples in the promise of work i can not believe Ive been scammed i had lost my job and needed money to support my family i had spoke to EVA a booking confirmed so i asked if the booking was definite as i had to borrow the money of my sister and guess what booking fell through and still no work my sister is wanting her money back that i have not got and the sweet EVA knew this what kind of people can do this i am so MAD I HAVE BEEN SCAMED
Posted by dave on 21 May 09
Modelcouples contacted me again this morning to chase for payment to 'register'. I don't know if they're just oblivious or think I'm desperate and stupid because there is no governing body for 'companions' so no legal requirement to register and be licensed. What a joke. I told them that I had read negative feedback on the service and combined with the fact that they are unwilling to provide any official information via email, I just didn't feel that I was protected in any way. They didn't even argue the case - chancers!
I really hope that everyone who has been scammed gets a refund and that this company is brought to justice.
Lesson : Only sign up to an agency that offers a free trial and where you can meet in person if you want to. I found 'absolute male escorts' and they have been very helpful, even offering a free trial. But there'll be a lot more research before I part with any money, that's for sure!!!
Posted by Robert on 22 May 09
Does anyone have the e-mail address for this site ?
Posted by mark on 23 May 09
Hi Guys and Girls - Cant beleiev I have also been scammed £263 from Modelcouploes- fukin loosers a women with a scottish accent called Ami rang me same story really - a 27 year old irish bloke looking for social event blah blah blah we need to all pull together and nail the bastards down!!!

Posted by Jay on 24 May 09

Posted by j on 25 May 09
THANK GOODNESS

I hope they get done in.
is there anything we can do to bring these £$% downPosted by flo on 25 May 09
Well guys an girls all I can say is thank god I researched an found this site. I have had dealings with both GuysandGirls and Companionfever. Have not paid anything yet as it all seemed too good, hence I am here. Interesting, A posts talking to an Ami with a scottish accent from model couples who sounds exactly like Ami I spoke to from Companionfever! I got really suspicious when I phoned both the agencies I mentioned earlier and the reply was "Hello"! No good day GuysandGirls how can I help you...etc. They are both gonna ring me back an try to grab my hard earned so if anyone has a message you wish me to pass on please do :) These people are scum with no conscience or morals.

Posted by A on 26 May 09
Got another couple for your info....Male Escort Services and Male Companion Services. Both offer £120 per hour of which you have to pay commission of £50. Male escort ask for £70 to be paid into their bank account by 5pm on the day of the event, there is no telephone number or address for them, just a text number. Male Companion ask for £50 up front, sent cash through the post! their address is 27 Old Gloucester Street London WC1N 3AX, this is where you send your deposit and commission, so if you are short of dosh, get down there and intercept the postman!! They have a text number and will e mail or text you

I have been very stupid and paid them £366.00 last night which was deducted from my bank account this morning before i had chance to stop the payment.

SURPRISE SURPRISE no less than 3hours later a client wanted to meet with me and go to a nice restaurant, how bizzare I thought, the client had not even seen a photo of me.

I have just been scammed by *modelcouples.com*
I had never done any escort work before and never thought I would be scammed like this.
I feel like a total fool, I paid over £263.
Does anyone know how to get this money back.
I have the company registeration number which shows and address for them on Harley Street, London.
Wish I had found this site before handing over the money

Has anyone heard of an escort agency based in London called partneryou.com are they legitmate please please let me me know asap before i start handing money over for registration fees. THANKS
Posted by heath on 09 Jun 09
Partner You, Select Escorts, Delightful Stars
They keep coming up with new names and new sites, but it remains as true today as when I first wrote it, but any 'agency' that wants money from you upfront is a scam.
Posted by Ian - XW5 on 10 Jun 09
Another one who got scammed here, I feel sick, what makes it worse is that a friend lent me the money as I lost my job.
I've contacted trading standards, smae response they need an address to take it any further. Model Couples are the pits, preying on peoples desperation to make ends meet.
Beware of Eva and Tabitha, what a crock!
If anyone is setting up any form of action or needs any help or details, please count me in. Can't believe I was so stupid, just wish I had found this site 2 days ago.
Any joint actions please let me know

Posted by Joanne on 11 Jun 09
By the way, this is fraud, I have since found out that their site is illegal, with no address posted, they don't provide VAT receipts or VAT reg number, and they have to give a cooling off period and refund for any one buying over the net.
Surely this is enough for the police to take seriously!!!

I'm so very very grateful for this site. I thought all my financial worries were coming to an end after ADOREABELLES had 2 bookings this weekend...earning myself a lovely £1200 with a wealthy International businessman. I hadn't even sent my profile pictures off but this "businessman" was really interested in my profile description. What a load of bollocks. Alarm bells were ringing in the first instance as it seemed too good to be true. I'm so glad I came across this site before I parted with over £200. Thank you everyone and I feel very sad for you guys who have parted with money. Hunt the bastards down and publicly humiliate and reveal the dirty gits.

I have just got of the phone to dennise at model couples, she said " i have a booking for thursday or friday which do you prefer" i said friday " ok shes 19 and called nicole she flew in the other day" " she wants to be wined and dined in manchester at 8pm, now you need to pay your registration fee before 12pm on friday, and then nicole will contact you, have a nice evening bye" said dennise, i then start to think now surly a 19 year old girl can get sex anytime she wants free, so why on earth would she use an escort agency?
and the answer to that is there is no nicole and no date its a con and luckily i found this website as i was on the way to the bank to pay them £376.
all these people who have been conned i think it will be really hard to get your money back, as from past experiences i have had.
however since i cant find a genuine escort agency, im am now setting my own up, and if people are still intrested in becoming an escort, then i will employ people, with no registration fee no upfront cost and no con!!

Hi,
I have come very close to parting with my money to glam international. I feel naive and let down, but at the same time i am relieved i had the urge to properly do my research, as my financlial situation is dire!!!!
Has anyone had any dealings with Fleurs international, or classy girls? are these scams too???? Please can someone contact me with some genuine contacts, ie Kelly, posted on 24th march??Posted by ANDREA on 16 Jun 09
gracefulpartners and companion fever.com have two different 0845 numbers>they are both the same company. I just got scammed out of £259. Gutting. They use the same tricks as guysforladies.com and a number of other .com companies. If you'd been scammed as well. keep calling they, everyday. e-mail they 4-times a week, and write to the as well. You'l never get to talk to your contact, as they're busy.
Posted by idea on 16 Jun 09
what can you do after you've been scammed, how, can you get you money back, are at best get the company fined. Reading this, these companies are making millions, easy money, and they get your details to sell on.

Dudes...........I live in the next road to this company. You want me to go check it out? What do you want me to do? There are plenty of wannabe 11 year old gangsters I can bribe to harass them on the way to 'work' everyday. I on here because I joined Model Couples and spoke to the lovely Pat who told me I was beautiful. I have yet to receive the phonecall offering me the fake client. Shall I record it? Will it help bring them down? Im well gutted because I have recently got into debt and stupidly thought this would be a wicked way to earn money. Luckily I didnt hand over any money - as i have none.
BTW there are loads of magazine contacts who are looking for stories to print who I get regular emails from. Maybe we should pitch a story to them?
Anyway SEAN please email me!! Your email address have disappeared it says you are advertising. Mine is louislouis86@hotmail.co.uk

Fk, Fk, F*k them allllllllll in any way.
Your site is fantastic but Its too late for me now, read all of it, it can help u now or in future but u have to help me too and answer the qustions at the end. i am not just wasting my time here writing..Got scammed by three companies within a week.
You realise when u get scammed, its not strange when its ur first itme, the best way is to find out about that agency from different sites and comments and then decide but still its a risk.These f**kin agencies are not just scammin people but playin with their feelings, hopes and dreams too which r worse then money.
I think I am stupid but I am not coz they r professionals and we r new and dont know about it.Goverment have no prevention for such scammin companies and let them to us uk numbers even they r abroad.they r making millions from us and showing us nice dreams.fake companies r male-escort services, male recruitmen and glamour international.co.uk and glamour is the most tricky and dangerouse and expensive one.giving by fake i cas number to u which may be one of there department which is 02033842066.and they will tell u that there is no any complaint made against them and all others have complaints.I paid in £298 to them and they asked me to fax them the reciept. I faxed but they said they dont recieve it.even had verification report, and faxed them 4 times then they said to scan it and email it I emailed it even email been sent to them. said they didnt recieve it.at the end they said they got it and u will not believe it happened today but now read about them so i know its scam.Have to attend booking tommorow.Had dreams to see a nice lady and even get paid upto £900 just for nite, couldnt believe it.other agencies even stopped answering me.
My questions are:
1. why cant goverment do anything about such companies and not taking any action?
2. How exactly can I warn them to get my money back?
3. How can we all reach to these companies roots and finish them? is it just by making comments on sites or any other way? they r still working openly and scamming others.even in the UK, the most developed country.
4. Are there such real escort agencies for straight males in leeds area or UK? can you name them?How can we find them?
5. What about cavendish Knights? Do YOU know this agency?
6. the companies I paid are they providing any bookings in future just in case if they got client or nothing at all?
PLEASE EMAIL ME ON dudedawod@yahoo.co.ukPosted by Dave on 20 Jun 09

I feel for all you guys who forked out money to these sheisters.
I advertised for a live in domestic position on Gumtree recently.
Instead of receiving any nice families wnating to employ me for my organisational/homehelp skills, I was contacted by Companion Fever....they replied to my ad with a very attractive proposition with tidy looking pics, testimonials etc...you know the story. Not what I was looking for but it grabbed my attention and I thought "why not"...
I considered joining them for the highest fee option of £345 but being mature, cynical and a bit savvy, i asked them about terms and conditions...the very nice sounding girl on the phone appeared not to understand what i meant and I had to spell it out to her that I wanted to know the contract terms before handing over money - eg. can i get my money back if first client cancels after Ive handed over the fee? Bla bla bla...
of course she wasnt able to send me a contract or any legal stuff on their terms...
...I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THAT IT WAS A SCAM.....so because of my common sense (not experience I hasten to add, this was my first time considering such a move!) I DIDNT COUGH UP!!
BUT SURELY ALL THIS BAD FEEDBACK ABOUT AGENCIES CAN BE TURNED AROUND AND PUT TO GOOD USE FOR OURSELVES!!.......
Has it occured to anyone that all the people using this site (and others must exist) could join together and create their own GENUINE companion/escort contact site?
It could be run like any club/association on a not-for-profit basis. With enough members it wouldn't need to be that expensive to join. All it needs is someone who is good at IT & web design and has the inclination and time to set it up, even in their spare time.
Some memebers could help out regularly (I would) on voluntary basis/in return for free membership just like how an industry association works.
Would be interesting to know what the most proactive guys on here think about that....

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY ESCORT AGENCY THAT IS KOOL TO WORK FOR ?
Posted by Adi on 27 Jun 09
hey guys
Thanks for all of the info especially regarding companion fever, i contacted them today. Something didn't feel right about them. I've called and enquired into a few agencies and the ones that seem serious are the ones who talk very cautiously over the phone regarding their business and basically want to be as discrete as possible. Companion fever was just a huge sales pitch for my non existent money regardless of my intelligence, appearance or personality. I did wonder why does the website have so many profiles without pictures maybe they are all made up??? Well i won't be sending them my money.
If she contacts me I will request a contract so I’m made fully aware of the terms and conditions of the contract. With any other job this is a basic requirement how else will we know of our rights within the company and role????
But with the above statement if anybody wants to set something up I’m interested in taking part.
Contact me......

Hello my darlings, Amy here from Model Couples
Like to say a big thankyou for all your registration fee's, sure has helped me build my house in the sun.Posted by Amy on 01 Jul 09
JUST THE SAME I WAS SCAMMED BY ADORABELLES!
As normal, they sounded genuine, really interested in getting me a client. Even called me back to say that they had got my money for the fees. Fast forwards to an hour before my assignment tonight and BAM! 'Jason had to go back to New York at short notice today' what a load of crap!
They told me that i could have another client for tomorrow and would even call me within the hour if they had some cancellations. Why, why why! did i not go with that niggiling gut feeling i had?
How can these scum of the world live with the fact that they have robbed us of our hard earned money? I actually feel sick!
Im so tempted to find out where they are based and knock ten bells of sh*t out of the 'Jessica' who fobbed me off!

So, what do you think?
(To save you asking, no-one knows of any genuine agency looking for straight men
who only want to escort women. Sorry. There are free places to advertise,
but one such site has over four thousand optimistic men already...)
