The sad fact is there's plenty of crap prossies that have been at it for years. Not even hidden feedback and bad reviews put some punters off. If one bad review saves some men some money then it's all worth it.
Absolutely, to my mind it's also a case of the prossie not getting the money from a potential punt that makes it worth the effort too.
Maybe a lot of people don't read this site, however I credit people with the sense not to go back to bad punts, unless they don't know any better.
So sure the SP will skim a lot of people for a short time, but then it'll be a case of dusty phone. Granted they can move around the country a bit and rinse others. But punters also talk, there are several (non UK) WG who have STD. Didn't need the internet to tell me that.
You're right, not all read this site but it is getting ever more popular. Others do read here but still get lead by their dicks into seeing prossies that are reported to be bad and have awful profiles that really should be warning enough. And they do it again and again. Some are just plain happy with shit service, or B&S though.
Some prossies are happy enough or willing enough to move about, or be moved about. They cover a big area of the country clearing up on one area before moving on. After several circuits I would imagine that business starts to dry up, at which point a new profile appears, or there is a name change and some fresh pictures, to entice the same punters in the same areas to go back in the vain hope of meeting the sexy girl in the pictures this time and getting the full list of services for 80 quid an hour.
We take the piss out of 'Sergei' but he's not all together stupid, a couple of years ago the scam profiles were easy to spot but 'he's' getting more creative and some profiles now merge into the lower end EE profiles - confusing if that's the market you choose.
The more punters that ignore AW fb and search here the better. The more punters who report bad prossies here the better. At the least punters will get a metaphoric slap back to reality if they post a question about a dodgy looking profile.
At the end of the day prossies and pimps have been scamming punters for a long long while and it isn't going to stop. Their methods change over time but the ultimate aim is the same.
