Hi

I'm about to take my first punt but am very paranoid about turning up and it being a scam and just having some massive guy there behind the door and taking my money beating me up etc.

So I've looked on AdultWork. Most of the ratings are around 20-100 but not that many for actual escorting and hardly any field reports (perhaps 10-20 escorts ratings for the past 12 months)

I have looked on this site and %%% for reviews of the girls but only found about one further review here per girl.

So, how common is it that AdultWork adverts are a scam if they have 30+ratings?

I'm thinking booking through AdultWork is the safest bet. Is that right?

Thanks for your help

Feedback is just an indicator. If you're experienced with the site and with seeing prossies on it, you can use it as a guide, but a lot of it is fake.

If it's all for, say, webcam and none for escort then she probably doesn't escort.

The chances of encountering the situation you describe (getting beaten up) are very low.

If you are a newbie you'd be best off posting the links of the girls you are interested in on here and getting some feedback from those of us with more experience.

Welcome to UKP firstly you have done the right thing and looked on the forum before taking the plunge. Below is a thread about a punter in a similar situation. If you wish to have a look as I type a response to your questions.

I use the AW feedback as an indicator. I rarely book girls with less than 15 positive fb, and here is the crucial bit, at least some of that feedback must be from punters with a reasonable fb history themselves. Even better if those punters have fb from wgs that I have seen as it gives the whole thing more credibility. Of course all fb is subjective, so it is far from infallible.

More recently I have been making my hotlists from recommendations made on here.  :drinks:

I have been lucky recently and not had a bad punt in 2013 or 2014 (a couple of average, but not 'bad').

Agreed 100%

OP, AW should be seen imho as a shop window, fine to look and book if you find the right WG but you have to wade through a lot of shit to get there. Reviews on here can be relied upon more as they are open to peer review, so fake ones get picked up very quickly and good ones often get confirmed by other members. At the end of the day what floats your boat is very subjective as Daffodil said it is better to post the links on who your are thinking off then people can give their opinions and it helps getting an idea of what you are looking for and where you are based.

Good point about the importance of cross reference, which for me as well is a must. I look out more for the negative feedback or indeed hidden feedback as a good indicator.

HI

Thanks for the quick replies.

Now this may sound stupid but...

I have read that posting links here for further info is a good idea, but it worries me that the girl may see it and then if I do go ahead and book will know that I'm not going to to be one to want to fight should she be tempted to get her boyfriend/ massive mate to be there.

Like I said, I'm paranoid and really not a fighter/runner! (basically have a few health issues so worried I'm a good target)

Good to be vigilant, but I would hope the scenario you are imagining is way beyond the probability of these things going on, particularly for girls with multiple positive feedback.

I'd suggest going through an agency/brothel/parlour etc if you're after a cast iron guarantee that you're not going to get jumped on (by anyone but the girl in question :))

For your very first punt, I would suggest you choose someone with lots of positive feedback, then do a search on UKP to see what reviews you can find. If you still need reassurance, then perhaps post a link and see what replies you get. If you don't give too specific info about yourself or exactly when you are booking, she is unlikely to identify you from your posting on here (unless you are carpp on aw!!)

I only take with me the money needed for the punt and leave all bank cards at home and I have never been robbed or threatened with robbery.
As regards AW feedback, WGs often pass their profile to another WG to use, so you need to keep an eye open for current feedback being credited to the profile of the WG you are interested in.

No you don't sound stupid your just a new punter and as such need some direction. Ideally your AW user name and your UKP user name should be different (Some people will disagree) but if your nervous I would suggest that. As Daff said to get to the point where you are in danger from having a fight or beaten up you would have to make a series of big mistakes to get to that point and even then there is only a very, very small chance of problems coming up like that. No good prossie would ever do that and the point of you asking your question is to get UKP members to help point you in the direction of "Good" WG's.

Even if you did post a link to a AW profile on here, prossies get so many enquires every day they wouldn't notice, imho the very bad ones would not be on here trying to hunt out suckers to rob. It is too much effort for them after they just have to wait for the punters who haven't asked for advice to turn up.

I may be wrong but I really do think you will be safe to post your links on here and it will mean it is easier to help you.

Quick tip if you copy and paste the seven digit number on the AW profile and paste it into the UKP search box top right then any time that profile has been posted will come up on the search. For example Blonde Penelope will be 1957389. I think although I could be wrong even if a WG changes the name of a profile the number remains the same.

Look, if you're wanting somebody to say that punting is absolutely risk-free then you're not going to get it.

Yes, there's a chance you might get mugged and beaten up. But there's also a chance you might get mugged and beaten up when you go to a cash machine.

In my experience (personal and reading others' on here) the chance of encountering violence whilst punting is extremely low.

You won't find lots and lots of reviews per girl apart from a select few but on the whole the quality of the reviews is much better than AW FR or feedback (Within Reason I know). I'm guessing you are somewhere in the Midlands, that is not my personal area i'm a SE guy but have you had a look on the review section in these areas you might find something that floats your boat.

Now you have found this site my advice is to use it to locate WGs rated by punters on here, you can do this by reading reviews and/or posting a thread up asking for recommendations in your punting area.

I have used A/W as a location tool only for years and i only believe feedback given by punters i know, trust and/or respect. A/W is run by people with no interest in helping punters unlike this site, that is a huge difference of course. I trust nothing and no one on A/W, its rotten to the core in my view, but is still the best location site i know which is why i would still use it.

1. Plenty of feedback -- which you should always take with a pinch of salt in regards to what the performance will be like, but a mugger/scammer would never get such high numbers, IMO.

2. Very detailed profiles -- definitely reads as they're trying hard to attract good punters, there's far too much information that someone who wasn't serious about the business would never think to include.

Just my 2 cents.

So dont tell her and be vague on here about when your intending to punt with her and if you do a review afterwards. You would be very unlucky to get attacked or robbed but it does happen on ocassion. Just take as few valuables as possible and if you sense any trouble walk or if already inside leave. Remember you will know where the WG works from so she and/or her pimp are taking a risk if they try anything on. More likely is a bad WG will agree to offering the services she advertises and confirmed to you but wont actually offer some or all of them. More reason to get recs on here.

In all honesty none throw up any big red flags but I really think for a first punt, you deserve to have a more reviewed WG but thats just my opinion. I will have a search and see what comes up. As all the girls on the four links you gave are quite different are you after anything in particular with regards to Age, size, location, services etc. Would be helpful to narrow down suggestions for you.

It's fine ask as many questions as you want, seriously it is better to check now than regret it later. As Smiths said I view AW as a search engine and nothing more. You have no more protection by booking through AW as you would if you went direct. Each girl has a different policy. Some want a text/call/email first then once they confirm with you they might ask for a booking to be put through or they might not, just need to check with the girl and how she does it. The only advantage of booking though AW is you can leave a rating and or feedback/FR. Personally as I think they are a waste of time I mostly don't bother it is a matter of opinion. If a WG is good she should be able to gauge you from your initial contact and if you do the right thing and book the right girl then you should'nt have to really worry about AW. AW believe me do not really give a damn about the punter. That does'nt mean it is not useful, you just need to do your homework.

Yes, she did leave a punter false and malicious feedback because he'd left her correct, but less-than-positive, feedback. The case was cast-iron at the time. Alexy still won't hear a bad word said about her though  :rolleyes:

By all accounts she is a very good punt if you get to see her. Her communication skills and organisation are appalling. I've had personal experience of this.

Couple of tips from to add to the excellent ones already given:

- I also cross reference feedback with the punters themselves. There's a couple of known punters in the area on AW whose feedback I trust. Seeing a recentish bit of feedback from them adds a tick.
- Check when she registered against her first bit of feedback. Specifically dates and times.
- I've seen one who was ticking the right boxes, but on inspecting the feedback closely the first 10 were all within about 2 hours of each other from punters who only had feedback from her. A little fishy.....
- I tend to value field reports over feedback, but again the above tips still apply.
- registered for two years, and zero feedback ? Avoid

Why would people hurt babies, or stab old ladies for change or rape women when they can pay for sex with a "ho". Why don't they get an education and a job instead of having 22 children and living on benefits. There is no answer to that, and the OP has a real personal concern about the danger, members have posted to try to put that fear into the correct perspective does it happen yes it does, is it likely no it is not and by seeking advice and help they can reduce that risk to a very low level.

Offline smiths

Why would someone want to beat you up and take your money, when they can use a ho to to take your money for sex?

Because in some instances previously reported over the years there wasnt a WG, it was a lying scumbag and her pimp. These low lifes view a one-off robbing as preferable to actually offering the sexual service advertised. Thankfully these have been rarely reported occurences.

A bit more for your paranoia.
If you would be concerned to receive a call from your chosen WG out of the blue e.g. wife alert, then get a punting phone that you only turn on when punting and that you can stash away somewhere. It is very rare in my experience for a WG to call/text but if they are having a quiet time they just might send out texts...
I'm sure there's a post or two on precautions to take apart from the obvious one = condom
It's highly unlikely you will have any trouble, so make a booking and enjoy.
