Having received a couple of these myself this year via text and phone calls it seems like it’s pretty widespread across the UK and not just in NI, having done a quick search in here for ‘threat’. Scenario goes like: You contact an escort, seems to be VS ads that lead to this, and then hours or days after you receive a threatening text or phone call from someone with an Eastern European accent. The content of the text or phone call usually states something like “Hey, I’m the guy who looks after the Escort you contacted from VS. You’ve messed her about/wasted her time so now you gotta pay. If you don’t pay £500 now then I’ll come round to see you with my boys when it will then be £1000. I have all your details, and don’t waste time your time contacting the police. You really don’t want to have to deal with my boys “ and so on. Both times I’ve just said “I am not laying anyone any money just for asking about an escort service as in costs and location, so forget it”. Then block the number. On the last occurrence they persisted calling, calls came through as no caller id, not sure if that was done by putting 141 in front of my number and them using their same phone, or just another phone. Anyway, after about 20 calls I just rejected they eventually gave up.
So these are either Pimps just trying it on once they get your numbers from the girls, or they’re not even pimps and are just fake adverts. I seriously doubt there is any reality behind the threats, but who knows. Maybe I’ll get a knock at the door one night.
Anyway, we need to fight back and give these cunts some shit back. Using their numbers they’re contacting us on, apart from reporting to Police or Crimestoppers anonymously, what stuff could we say sign their phone number up to that doesn’t require them to ‘confirm/accept’ so that they get swamped with marketing shit and adverts and such like? Keep em busy or needing to change their Sims.
Would it be worth us having a pinned thread of all the Phone Numbers being used to issue the threats?
I think going forwards tho I will not be using VS much, unless the girl is well reviewed on here or other signs she is genuine/known to us. Not sure how I’ll come to that conclusion. Shame though as there will be loads of genuine amazing escorts on VS and these cunts are ruining it for them as well as for us.
Wonder how many of us in here have experienced this? Drop a reply in if you have.
