If you want to do sex work why do you have to have an agency?Can you not be an independent?

Are you prepared to be sexual with random men you've just met? If the answer is yes, then start with the main SAAFE site. Feel free to ask here if you still have any questions after that.

If not, you need to forget escorting.

Hello Guys! I'm currently interested into being an escort and have been talking to an escort agency for about a week now.
It has progressed that I have to give them a ?200 registration fee. I just want to know if it's a scam or not since I really am need of money.

This is the website.

Never worked for an agency always been indie but paying to be registered with an agency is a scam as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you for the advise there. Also, diamonduk was a damn obvious scam website as the guy who called me immediately asked for a starting fee.

This one is a bit different though since i have my profile made already it just needs to go live. So is there anyone whos familiar with the site at all please inform me. /

I have worked for several agencies and the legit ones never ask for money upfront. They can make plenty of money off of selling you, they don't need a down payment if they are really bringing in bookings. Go indie is my advice.

NEVER pay an agency money, for after you do they will disappear and never answer their phones .... And you will NEVER get any work from them either.
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Any agency that asks for a joining fee is a scam (this applies outside of the adult industry as well) also several things on their website I noticed were a) spelling mistakes, b) claims of being one of the largest/most successful agency in the UK (never heard of them..) and c) not much info about what the escorts offer - if you look at some of the profiles it doesn't even say if the escorts are gay/straight/bi or what services they offer apart from 'hand holding' - why would any clients want to book if they don't even say what services are offered? It's either a scam or you won't get any bookings from them anyway.

Because escort agencies are illegal (they make a profit from someone else's sex work) there are no laws or guidelines that they need to adhere to. Anyone can put up a crappy website and claim to be one so do be careful and never trust an agency again - even a successful well-known one won't care much about your best interests, just their cut of the money.

Abangalf, I've just sat and watched as you read through at least some of the huge Straight Male Escorting thread plus two others that you could only have found by searching for similar keywords. The advice to posters on these threads is nothing if not clear.

Given that there is only one likely reason for you to have found these particular discussions, are you still asking or have I misunderstood and you just mistakenly came across them on the way to this thread?

For anyone considering this bunch, regardless of whatever they say on the phone, as far as their terms and conditions are concerned, it's not an agency, it's a directory: you're paying several hundred pounds to advertise on the site. You can, unlike some scams, see the victims without being one yourself.

But what Amy says is, as ever, right: the SME thread tells you all you need to know about how much work you would get... wherever you advertise.
