I wouldn't do it. Even just the unknown number would stop me doing the booking.

I think that you aren't being too careful,  you can never be too careful.

Don't take a booking from a withheld number ever simply because if they are late you cannot check with them and if something comes up you cannot let them know and if  you are going to trust them with your body then the least they can do is trust you with their punting sim card number. If they won't then they are dodgy in my view and not to be trusted themselves also unlikely to turn up.

I very much doubt you would get busted for working with another girl. If it was a copper calling to "set you up" then thats exactly what it is?a set up. It wouldnt stand in court as it was the coppers idea and him pushing you to do it.  I think they have better things to do really plus when they go to check brothels they call and make a fake booking before hand to make sure you are actually open for business and they never use a withheld number for that as any agency run by someone with half a brain cell will not take withheld number bookings either except from well known clients?as they never show up x

Consider also it may be a prank call he is recording to publish on Youtube for laughs.  I only work with phones that have the number blocking option.  Withheld numbers no longer feature on my radar.

Hey sweetie

I am in Glasgow too and I have been getting private number calls, several times a day including today for about 3 weeks, I am certain its the same person but I refuse to answer. Its rare I get private number calls as everyone knows nowadays that is NOT the way to book an escort and I have made warnings all over my profile not to contact me this way.

I have no idea who it is or what they want and I am not interested either.

As long as you aren't doing ANYTHING illegal then you should have nothing to worry about really and I'd suggest ignoring private number calls.

Withheld numbers are just nothing but trouble, you have no way of working out who's calling to confirm their appointment or not, if he gets lost last minute is early/late no way of chasing up, and the same guy can phone you umpteen times asking the same questions for 2 years - yes happened to me, denied it was him every time. Once let a guy I'd met a few times switch to a withheld and it was a nightmare (he's arrive early, phone me, leave a message to say he was early can he come now and of course I couldn't phone back, we spent a lot o time trying to catch each other on the phone at various points and he'd just greet me with "You know who it is").

Paying for sex with a woman who is under the age of 18 is illegal, and I'd not like to have anything to do with it - I can guess that anyone involved could be then under suspicion controlling her and I'd like to be a million miles away from anything like that.

You also need to be checking addresses before attending outcalls, either landline in directory to be spoken on, or copy of a recent utility bill and/or electoral roll check. Going out on the basis of a withheld number (or any mobile number) alone is running a much higher risk of being plain mucked around, or something odd happening and without proof he's at an particular address you may not be able to let your security buddy know where you are (bit late when you've got there and he says "Oh it's not number 1 it's number 3 come on in here" and your buddy thinks you are in number 1).

Turned out the nugget was calling round a few girls in my area.
Honestly i wonder about punters sometimes, do they think we dont chat with other working girls?

Also totaly agree, no withheld numbers for a booking. Just i decided to humour a few of them and this guy was weeeiired!
I think im far too suspcious sometimes! Although can you be too suspcious in this industry?

You can never be to suspicious I second that one as over analyze screening them over the phone like Mrs detective. It's only for safety reasons. Do what works right for you. As escorting can be dangerous if we let any one in who phoned to book.

He's a fantasist. {Probably}
Hello withheld number. Thank you for your call.
Before we can go into any more detail, I require you to phone me from a non withheld number.
I'm sure you understand.
*

Then if they do ring back** from a non-withheld number:
Thank you for phoning back.
While it is legal for you to have consensual sex with someone who is 16 to 18 years of age,
it is illegal to pay them for the engagement.
As a third party, I would have zero liability or criminal culpability.
However, in the event of the police being involved I would likely be questioned under caution.
under my real name.
I can do without that sort of drama, so I decline your invitation.

And BLOCK.



* I get a lot of work from nervous callers who do phone back from a non withheld number
but I doubt this one is real


**It's worth doing this just so you have their number
and can avoid them in the future. IMO

Isn't the age of consent 16?.

The age of consent for sex is 16 but the age its legal to pay someone for sex is 18. I believe its also the other way around. Its illegal to take money from someone under 18 for sex either. This is why you will never find a girl under 18 working in a decent brothel that gives  a shit and they will never admit guys under 18 either. If there is any doubt they reserve the right to request ID when the guy arrives to prove he is over 18. Ive seen it done a number of times and done it myself in the past if a guy has a baby face.

There is no legal minimum age to pay for sex - the only person who must be over 18 is the person being paid. The normal age of consent applies, but as much as most people wouldn't be keen on seeing a 16 or 17 year old punter neither they nor he would be breaking any laws.
