Scamblog

A BBC article about male escort agency scams.

Prompted by the story of a man who signed up with Elegance 4 Her (www.elegance4her.com) and Male Recruitment (www.malerecruitment.com) but only ever received bookings that were canceled at the last minute, BBC Wales investigates. They talk to someone who claims to have worked for the companies, and a forensic accountant.

There are a lot of scams like this out there. Please read this and don’t believe everything you’re told (yes, that includes here, do your research!)
