    Default agencies advertising on back page(UPDATE: almost got scammed/raped)

    yay or nay? would you bother working for a place that placed hiring ads on back page? the owner said they dont advertise on backpage for clients and they charge higher than backpage prices ($60-80 *barf) and that they charge $650 an hour. does this seem legit?

    Have you talked to them via phone or in person already? What are you looking for in/out of the agency? I'm not sure what prices are like in your area, but in my area there are only a select few that are 600 or more an hour, but they are phonies and I know they work for a bait and switch guy even though they claim they are independent. So any time I personally see an agency ad to charge that much, I call amateurs, bullshit or they take a large chunk and have a hard time getting clients, especially repeat ones. What's the avg in your area?

    I talked to the guy on the phone and he interviewed me basically asking me about myself and why i wanted to work for them.that part seemed legit. He seemed pretty decent nothing creepy about him. He was a black guy. Im in Los Angeles, so its not unheard of. Alot of agencies on eros charge that much for their girls sometimes more. I would say the median hourly rate out here is around $500/hr. He told me alot of his clients are pro athletes and rich men. He also said they've been in business for over 20 years and they dont advertise online even though they were looking for girls on backpage. idk that part sounds a little fishy to me. I just want a agency that can book me at least 3-4 clients per week and not lowball me or take all my money.

    Go with your gut.

    I'm not sure work for an agency that placed ads for clients only on BP. Advertising for clients should ideally be multiple places to see which has the best response rate. But I doubt the tell you exactly where they get their clients because that cuts them out as the middle man.

    Like justj mentions $650/hr is relative to your area and your market.

    he claims they dont advertise online. he claims they dont need to.

    Well since this is 2014 it sounds a bit old fashioned to leave out online advertising for clients (especially when they use online advertising to find women to work for them) but hey just my opinion. Do they have a website?

    You don't want them to lowball you so did they tell you the fees? Do they sound reasonable?

    No he claims they dont have a website. or maybe i just misheard him ill have to ask him again when i talk to him tomorrow. he said the girls charge $650/hr but it can go up depending on what the client wants for ex if he wants anal its $1000. I guess they sound about right. this is LA so most girls charge somewhere around $400-800 an hour.

    I mean the fees owed to the agency. Like out of the $650 how much of a cut does the agency take?

    I personally worked for agencies i found on bp. I made 6 thousand for one on the east coast in my first week of escorting. So agencies on bp can for sure be legit.

    Just research them. Legit companies will have websites and reviews.

    I would never advertise on bp myself, however I have gotten many legitimate jobs, well paying, and dealt with agencies/schedulers that were legit off BP. I don't trust any agency that advertises off CL or sexy jobs (bad exp), so other than bp I personally wouldn't know where to find them. I think meeting in person on sat, whatever your gut is telling you then is your answer.

    When I opened my agency, I always advertised on BP for escorts and also bookers/reception. I try not to advertise on BP for clients as they are usually not the greatest (in Canada). Its difficult for agencies to advertise hiring on other websites that typically have job postings because of the nature of work so I did use BP to get started. I say give it a try and meet with him, if he's not legit you'll be able to tell right away!

    I worked for 2 under-the-radar brothel type places that advertised on bp. I checked out their reviews on bestgfe, ter, spahunters, and utopiaguide (sometimes they were only listed in some of those websites and not all). One was a shithole and I bailed after the second day but still made a lot and they were safe. The girls were just very aggressive and the clients weren't great. For the second one I was interviewed over the phone and the owner answered my questions and asked me a few too, but nothing really personal. It was a decent spot, it was safe, comfortable, and the girls were friendly. I worked there for a couple of weeks until I decided I preferred doing erotic body rubs more. I recommend doing as much research as you can

    just wanted to come back and update y'all. so i flaked on meeting the guy and didn't hear from him again. then a few days ago he hits me up asking me do i still want to work. i said yes and he tells me i need to get my escort license and i can begin right away

    red flag #1

    then he tells me all i have to do is wire him $150 and his assistant will get the license for me through the attorney generals office without needing so much as a signature from me..

    red flag #2…

    so i google escort licenses in LA and nothing comes up

    red flag #3..

    finally i decide to google this guys number and i get all these links to ripoffreport.com with posts from ladies claiming they sent them money for escort licenses or std testing and never hear from him again. I find his real name and dig a little deeper and see his rap sheet is a mile long with everything from child abuse to assault with a deadly weapon. I also found out from a noter provider that he likes to make girls "audition" for him by raping them and infecting them with HIV!

    Im so glad I didn't get caught up with this guy. always do your homework ladies and go with your gut! I will definitely be going Indy from here on out...
