I have been reliably informed a guy, who probably isn't a member here, rang a girl off VivaStreet to book an outcall on 07355217583. He received a message from her 'manager' on 07481238954 who claimed he was from a local agency and asking for a deposit and 'insurance' money as he was new, he paid £350 and heard no more.

The agency advised him to contact VivaStreet, the police and to join UKP. The advert - External Link/Members Only - is no longer active.

Just shows the value of the advice to never pay a deposit given on here.

I should add that the guy rang the agency because that's where the pimp said he was from but all he was doing is using their name.

Jeees, what a kick in the nuts, I'm totally against paying a deposit, but for the guy to pay £350 🤦

Poor fella. Been doing this for so long, you wonder how people get caught like this but must be dead easy when you’re a bit new to it all. Mobile banking wasn’t even a thing and PayPal was brand new so there wasn’t as easy for scammers to demand deposits back then

He might be able to claim back from his bank due to "Romance fraud". It should teach him a valuable lesson that hopefully he only needs to learn once. Nearly everyone falls for this one way and another once in their punting life.

These massages on Facebook possibly 100% legit, and well with in there rights to ask for a deposit, which is used to secure your booking
