Questions and Answers / Old £20 notes
« on: September 25, 2011, 06:51:56 PM »
Hi ladies

Just wondering if anyone is still seeing any of the old 'Elgar' £20 notes that stopped being issued a year last June/July. I accepted them for a short time afterwards, since I know most banks were still letting you pay them in. I was offered some of them the other week, and was a little wary of taking them so asked my client to obtain new notes. It did mean the appointment had to be cut short, but I was a little scared of having problems at the bank.

I have since asked and my bank will accept them if they are being paid into an account, they won't however exchange them and of course most shops won't touch them with a bargepole.

Blather and Babble / Platinum Select - absolutely unbelieveable
« on: September 23, 2011, 08:29:39 AM »
I received this email from Platinum Select this morning;

This is the recent Article Printed in Zoo Magazine – if you fancy a life like James then what are you waiting for?...but first read the proof of the sort of life you can have as a male escort.

What’s it Like to be a….MALE ESCORT

They’ve got the women, money and hedonistic lifestyle. So you might think getting paid to entertain the female sex is a dream job. But is it? ZOO investigates.

Meet James. He’s an escort. A player. A smooth talker. A bloody lucky bloke some might say.

He works for Platinum Select an online agency that caters for women that want a man in their life – for the right price, and often only for a few hours. And contrary to the assumption only female companionship is sought after, there is indeed “a very healthy demand” for men. So much so that James attracts new, sex crazed clients every week and is treated like a king by almost every single one of them.

“Escorting is a strange but very rewarding existence”, he says. “I’ve been to the best hotels, eaten the best food and sipped the best champagne. I’ve been given watches, suits, aftershave. I’ve been skiing in Italy and visited Marbella, Beverley Hills and Indonesia. Sometimes you don’t even have to travel with them. They’ll pay for your ticket and meet you the other side”.

HARD WORK

Of course such experiences don’t come easy. An escort provides a service, and for that to be re-ordered you need to put in a decent shift – both in and out of the sack.

“Women want more for their money,” explains James. “You need to kiss, cuddle and talk for a long time. It can be tiring and you’re often dreading it. Or you can prolong the evening and secure an overnight stay. That radically increases the fee. The key is getting regulars. You want someone who knows the score and wont surprise you.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. During his career, James ahs turned women down because “even with Viagra” he simply couldn’t do the deed. “I met a rather large, aging lady and ended up walking out after 45 minutes,” he recalls. “I said, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t want to do this’ and gave her her money back.”

Not that Viagra is always ineffective, though.

I’VE BEEN MADE TO PANT LIKE A DOG ON AL FOURS.

For some of the women James has bedded, it almost became a necessity. An addiction, even.

“At the height of my career, I was flat out and needed it,” he says. “I was going ballistic. I’d have one client in the morning, one in the afternoon and sometimes two in the evening. If all four wanted to have sex it was hard going.

“You can get a bit messed up, and its tough on your private life. I even turned to drink just to help me get through the day – and the next client.”

As it turns out not all clients do want sex. In fact, James’ introduction to the game was quite the opposite. “She needed companionship while she visited her grandfather in hospital. Because of his illness he couldn’t really talk, so I kept her company for a couple of hours a day. I thought ‘This is easy money! I want more.”

Others – often-successful businesswomen too busy to meet outside of work – simply want a man on their arm at a dinner dance. James has even met a client at the cinema, watched the movie with them then left.

ODD REQUESTS

Then, there are the clients who just want to get freaky. “I was asked to get on all fours and pant like a dog ,” he says. “I’ve had to wear a gimp mask and seen stuff I’d rather not see, like when a female escort asked me to accompany her to see a client – who turned out to be a guy! Threesomes are commonplace.”

And finally the all-important question; how much are women prepared to pay for this service? “You don’t find many rich escorts, ” James admits “If you’re flat out, you can make thousands. I’ve bought several houses from this. My rates vary from £150-£200 an hour. Some clients will try to barter, some will give you tips. Some might chuck a grand at you – and I doubt many men would complain about that…”

With thanks to Platinum Select

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN ESCORT

James has been in the game for more than 10 years, Here’s his checklist to making it big

TALK A LOT

“You might want to leave in the morning, but your client will want entertaining, so decent pillow talk is a must.”

HAVE IT LARGE

‘You need to have the right equipment and you have to know what to do with it, or else you wont be asked back.”

DON’T GET ATTACHED

“Early on, I fell for a client. She lobbed me into touch and I learned my lesson – don’t get emotionally involved.”

OPEN YOUR MIND

“Expect the unexpected. Some women are into stuff you wouldn’t believe. If you don’t like them it can be horrendous.”

PREPARE TO WAIT

“Women will search to find the right man so you’ve got a chance. But hundreds of guys want to do it. You might get one job and never work again.”

If that has not convinced you then nothing will!

This is simply a complete marketing exercise, and I'd like to actually know if this 'James' exists.

I have this on my bank statements from a year or two ago and can't remember what it is, a quick search brings up courtesan.net but I am sure this is an umbrella name for something else.

Does anyone else know who this billing name is for?

Aha just found out it's C69!

Questions and Answers / Photos
« on: July 27, 2011, 10:39:56 PM »
I would like to know what arrangements ladies have in place regards photo with clients. Recently following  a very successful photoshoot, plus posting a few more revealing photos in my AW private gallery (as the result of guys asking some specific questions), I have found many clients - old and new asking me for photos as part of their booking. Some even saying they'll extend their appointment.

I was wondering what other ladies do since I personally am quite nervous about having photos on Mr XYZs pc, although everyone promises they images will go no further, and the professionals amongst them say they will give me full copyright.

Has anyone else had the spammy email regards 'translating & SEO services for their website? It uses SAAFE in the subject line and almost looks genuine until you open it.

Blather and Babble / One of those days and the phone, tips!
« on: May 18, 2011, 09:39:01 PM »
Does anyone have days where you just can't relax on the phone?Today for no reason I find myself blathering, nervous and defensive. As soon as I come off the call I know there was just no need, and I've made myself sound less than the confident, organised person I am.

Anyone any ideas or tips?

Questions and Answers / Fake Notes
« on: April 05, 2011, 03:35:04 PM »
I have been given a fake £10 by a local shop, it was detected by a place that does use UV scanners. Here comes the important bit;

I took this note home after being shown it was fake AND MY DETECTOR PEN HAS NOT SHOWN IT UP. Looking at it closely, very closely does show it up - and I have seen it under the UV scanner in the place I used it in not knowing.

So  the question is, how on earth do we detect these when receiving payment from clients?

Blather and Babble / Couriers
« on: March 18, 2011, 11:50:53 AM »
Feel free to move this to Blather and Babble mods, I just wasn't sure where to start it.

I've just ordered some items this week for my next photoshoot. Now being in the sticks I shop online regularly so have experience with most private delivery services out there - and it can be a nightmare at times. So this week a new courier leaves a "Whilst you were out" card, and then sends me an email saying if I'm not in for the next delivery there will be a charge for a 3rd attempt. I had to ring around firstly the courier and then the supplier to get the answer that £11 would be the penalty for another attempt if I'm not in to take this one.

I have never heard of this before. Sure I've missed other deliveries and they just keep coming back, or eventually leave with a neighbour. The courier today said that all the other companies charge for 3rd attempts in the same way.

I'm sure they don't. The person I spoke to was quite rude, including the supplier themselves. I pointed out that if they used Royal Mail at least I can pop down there on my way into town, and pick parcels up whereas their depot - like the other couriers are always about 1 hours drive away. By the way I am in major town in my county. Their excuse was that you can't send tracked delivery via RM. I thought you could send signed for, or at least parce farce?

So my question is do other couriers charge for missed deliveries when it gets to a certain point?Or are they spouting rubbish.

The reason I couldn't take the first delivery attempt was because I was otherwise engaged with client. I explained to the company on the phone that I was self-employed, and that I can't not go out to work or about my daily business when they can't give me a delivery day or time. By the way the website information was that it would be sent out "Standard Delivery" which could mean any day of the week.

Reporting and ranting about (persistent) Timewasters / Timewaster, possible stalker
« on: February 03, 2011, 04:51:36 PM »
This isn't going to sound like much because it's all texts and of course we can ignore those, but sometimes they can be difficult to do so when it feels like a personal attack.

I've been stalked by text for almost 2 years by this guy. He claims to have had one short booking with me, he might have from what he says about the meeting. He's scottish and operates in Cumbria, North East, Border region but I have reason to believe he comes further south too. I also have an idea I'm not the only one he's been badgering. Anyway his texts can seem quite normal, asking for a booking and do I want to see him?to out and out insults. Sometimes he's copied and pasted images or text from my website, and/or regional forums into an MMS. He was to call on the day to arrange a booking at first(when he wasn't too bad), and a few times I took the day off or just wasn't available. So then started the "You don't want to see me" texts. Anyway I finally told him to stop texting me but he just went on and on. Ranged from saying he loved me, to slagging me off. The latter when I wouldn't respond to his earlier texts.

Last December I awoke to see a "help me" text and I just rang him direct, told him what he was doing was classed as harassment and he obviously had a problem. I said it wasn't impressing anyone and would more than likely end him in trouble with the law if he carried on.

This shut him up for 6 weeks, then he contacted me using a different number this week. I knew it was him by the tone of his simple text message, and he confirmed it today when I said I thought he was sounding like my previous stalker he then went on to say "will you see me again" giving the same distinctive details for an appointment.

His numbers are

07763153**0
07857151**7

I'm not afraid to phone him again and tell him what's what, sometimes I think a firm voice is often quite effective but he doesn't appear to be picking up today!

Completely unstable I'd say from his chopping and changing. It's a pity people like this don't see how what they are doing is wrong.

If anyone would like his full numbers(I think the first one isn't working any more), I'm happy to supply via PM.

Questions and Answers / Black and White List
« on: January 27, 2011, 01:41:54 PM »
This is a techie question I'm afraid. I've been trialling Black and White list for my blackberry, after taking 6 months working out how to download the thing onto my old handset(and it is old).

It's a Godsend, I really like it and it's making things a lot easier. Especially by rejecting withhelds when I'm driving etc(and most of the time when I'm just not tolerating them anymore).

Anyhoo, it's so good I've just paid for the full license which runs out pretty soon. They've sent me the licence key but guess what?I can't input it properly. I've found the screen where you put the PIN number in for the software, and my handset will only let me type numerically. The PIN is a mixture of letters and numbers. I've used the ALT key to switch from NUM to ABC but when I press the keys only the numbers are working.

There must be a way around this?

Anyone?

Oh and I've emailed support too.

Blather and Babble / Lush Cosmetics - Website Hacked????
« on: January 21, 2011, 01:26:43 PM »
As some of you might know I was the victim of card fraud this week and had my card used to the tune of over £300 at the start of January. Didn't notice this until I got a recent bank statement.

Yesterday Lush Cosmetics sent out a statement by email to say their security has been compromised, and card details may have been accessed.  Any customers placing orders between 4th Oct and 20th Jan are to contact their banks.

I did indeed order from them in December, only a few days before the fraudulent payments were taken. I've spoken to my bank to update them but they say their information isn't conclusive. Lush have told them it might just be a virus, and payment details are probably safe.

I'd advise anyone who has bought anything via the Lush website recently to check their statements immediately.

Blather and Babble / Latest Scam Email
« on: December 29, 2010, 09:38:54 PM »
Almost made me laugh this one;

Hello,
 
I was searching online to find escort listings that might be interested in purchasing my domain name ClassyGFE.com or TropicalMassages.com. In my search, I came across your email address and I was wondering if this may be of interest to you. If you need help with designing the website, I can help you with the designing as well. You can have a professional website domain with photos, information, accept payments, reviews, and pretty much whatever you want on the website. You wouldnt need to have a website with tons of other ladies. This website would be entirely for you. If you dont presently have a website or are using a website which doesnt bring you much business and you want a great website which has outstanding google and yahoo search engine optimization capabilities (for people finding you), please consider this domain name.
 
The website is worth much more, but I would like to get rid of it by the New Year, so I am asking for just $1,200.00 for each domain name. I will also consider counter offers as well, as I need to sell the domain name by January 1st. Payment to me can be made by credit card online so you dont deplete your cash. The first person who contacts me to purchase the site will get it.
 
Leonard
 
P.S. You will not receive any more emails from me. This is a one-time email so there is no need to email me to tell me that you wish to unsubscribe. I apologize for any inconvenience that this email may have caused you.

Questions and Answers / Outcalls
« on: November 23, 2010, 11:37:27 PM »
Hi gals

I'm going to try not to whinge on this one, but wondering how you handle things if an outcall venue is cold and what you expect from the client regards the bathroom. I've had some outcalls this year(and in the past) where it's obvious the heating hasn't been on, or very low and there aren't basic supplies such as soap or clean towels, oh and loo roll in the bathroom.

The heating thing is hardly conducive to flinging one's clothing aside and I'm feeling a bit hard done to when I spend the majority of an appointment trying to wrap myself in duvets to keep warm, then have a cold dark drive back home.

I suspect sat there in woolly jumper, shirt, trousers, socks etc chaps think they don't need to expend any more on the gas bill as it feels ok to them. Not so for the sexy, little thing in S&S and shortish dress once the over coat is off.

Anyone?

I'm having problems with the download. Have got it onto the PC but when I try to send it to the device I get a message saying there could be an error with the application.

I really want this because I've got someone who I really don't need texting/calling me, someone very undesireable I'd like out of my head.
