Author Topic: lots of new WGs - chancers and/or scammers?  (Read 1020 times)

i've been in this game for a long while as i'm sure lots of mother members on here have...
this pandemic is frustrating and has meant no punts for a while...as is the way with these things, the scumbags come out of the woodwork to take advantage...
i'm not condoning people who are still trying to punt but these fucking scammers are the a fucking stain on an otherwise enjoyable hobby.

i've seen a number of new profiles recently...
you might see 3/4 lines of text
2/3 standard pictures perhaps a small free gallery
completely absurd pricing
if you call the number, it's either cancelled and a text sent, or there'll be a request for a deposit (which has seen a number of even seasoned punters make stupid decisions)
profile up and then down relatively quickly

i'm building up the HL for when we're allowed to punt again, but all it feels like i'm managing to do is pack out the blacklist!

just wanted a bit of rant about AW really.
i don't really use any other site - have messaged a few girls on twitter/vivastreet but nothing has ever come of it...

Don't get me started about AdultWork  :angry:

I take it you haven't looked at the scamming thread?

https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=420.10400

I, along with a few others on here have recently proved that AW themselves are responsible for a lot of the fake accounts on their website.

There are more repeat fake accounts on AW than there are repeats on the BBC or UK Gold.

I recently started logging phone numbers being used, and one number alone linked to several different regular fake profiles.

There's been recent discussion about people on here all getting together and tackling AW about it. But no one seems interested.

Today alone I've spotted 20 fake accounts. 15 of those are repeat fake accounts. For every private gallery sale, displaying a phone number, etc, AW pocket ALL the money. No one gets a refund for a making a fake profile PG purchase.

Even genuine profiles cannot be trusted. It's so easy to verify an account. Or buy/steal someone else's verified account.

It's clearly obvious no one at AW bothers checking new profiles being registered. It literally takes seconds to run a photo through reverse image checking websites such as Yandex, Google, or Tineye. But why bother when fake accounts are making them money.

Try reporting fake accounts via your registered AW account, and they'll threaten you with deactivation of your account as "such activity goes against the spirit of the club".

In short, AdultWork can not be trusted any more, and IMHO the sooner they're investigated by someone in authority, the bloody better.

Yes, they're abusing their almost Monopoly position, Lewis; but, realistically, who could we complain to? :unknown:

It isn't as if there's a Punting Commission whom we could ask to investigate AW; and I can't imagine the Fraud Squad are likely to be interested in mounting an investigation. And even if we could persuade someone to set up an inquiry, can you imagine the flak they - and we - would cop?

When I write that I'm glad I'm coming to the end of my life as a punter, I don't mean that the way it reads on first sight. I mean I'm glad that I have the details of SPs who, over the years, have been tried and trusted by me; who know me and my modest requirements to help me see out my remaining as a happy punter.

I'm sorry to post such a despairing message, lads; but I can't be more optimistic. Sorry.  :thumbsdown:

There definitely is a call for some level of despair - AW have us by the balls...

The problem is, even when WGs get the recognitions and protections they want, punters will still be getting shafted - just like drivers/car owners!

I'll have a look at that thread Lewis - thanks for bringing it to my attention

Members on this site : 60,000
Escorts on AW : 17,000

We outnumber them.  If we started to bombard AW with emails, plus spread this onto other forums like this, they would see they have to take action.

Or we could ignore it and end up with another VS, or worse back page

How many current and active members does UKP have? 60,000ish seems to be the number of members who have ever posted in a topic. Many of those will have disappeared into the sunset, been banned etc.

When you're down to the list of current and active members perhaps only half of those actually contribute and only half of those left use AW.

AW doesn't care. Even if you have a fraud case in writing against a scammer, something that happened in the site and they covered, something that you can report to the police and could end up shutting the site down, they know that you are not going to do it because:

  • If you report the fraud to the authorities, you would have to identify yourself. Do you want to recognize that you have been fooled by a whore?
  • If the site is shut down, you would lose the main contact point with the independent GWs. Sure, another site would replace AW, but it could take a really long time. What are you gonna do? Roll the dices with VivaStreet? Going to very expensive agencies?
