So this is clearly a bullshit profile.  Rates are stupidly low but what's the game?  Surely can't be a PG scam as having the number displayed will cost more than the PG brings in.  More sinister? blackmail? robbery? etc

Wasn't planning on punting today so left my punting SIM at home.  No chance I am risking my normal number.  Profile has another hit on here as a time waster so just going to pass

Ok. So I'm the first to admit I'm a bit naive and that my punting antennae are not as finely attuned as others on here, but, apart from the low rates, what else makes you think this is 'clearly a bullshit profile? At £110 per hour she's a tenner less than the average, but not ridiculousy cheap.
As she is new, might she be trying to encourage business?

That's enough to start the scam-ometer going.  Other details include

the postcode in where she is located (drop down box at bottom of profile) linking to London.  Checked as wondered if it would be some dodgy area

Been a member for about a month with no feedback and low rate's (eg the listed ones not the even lower rates)

Previous query on here about her but in a totally different location https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=194816.0

When I enquired via a work was told to call so won't be building up feedback which would presumably be the point the whole point of the low rates.

None of these are individually a blatant warning but with them all piling up I say scam but can't for the life of me work out what.   Happy to be proven wrong though :)

In regards to the profile she may have missed out the "H" if it was EH 13 would that be an Edinburgh postcode? or maybe she used to be in London.

AW postcode gadget is useless,  a lot of the Manchester indies have a postcode of M3,  AW shows the M3 motorway as their location.

I figured that might be the case puts her in oxgangs or Colinton.   At those prices I would say oxgangs. 

I may have been overly bullish in my post but still smells fishy (and not in a good way)

If you put her name into the search box it comes up with the same questions about her in the West Midlands.

Maths doesn’t seem to be a strong point for her either...

An hour at £110 so double that is £300?????

30 mins is £60 so £110 + £60 = £200????

Finally an attractive young prossie offering services at rates befitting their skills rather than that of a Barrister, Surgeon or Architect.
