Author Topic: Time wasting fake punters spoiling things  (Read 8448 times)

Offline Branny

Just had a follow up reply from a regular who thought she was booked, only to discover it was a timewaster so she contacted me to say she was now free. Unfortunately I have other plans now so it is annoying that I have missed my chance.

Two other girls I meet, one reviewed on here recently, have decided to drop their ads and only see regulars for a while, apparently due to fake punters messing them around too. Hence two of my regs no longer advertise.

To my mind these fanatsisers ruin it for all as we miss chances with the limited availabilty WGs and miss chances when they take their ads down.

Just a rant really, but saw a SP mention it on a thread here recently and can't find it, so posting myself.

I think sometimes these no shows can be genuine first time punters who just bottle it at the llast minute. We've all experienced the nerves associated with seeing an escort for the first time.

Goes with the territory. SP’s will moan about time wasters and no shows. Punters will moan about double bookers and ghosters.

Had you enquired with her about a specific date and time and she wasnt available or was she just messaging on the off chance ?

Cancellations, changes, no shows can come from newbie, repeat bookings, regulars alike.

Obviously walking from B&S and bad vibes is fine.

The altogether weird behaviour is men who send pointless texts, collect postcodes etc. As I've said before, I've heard of men who just go to "look" and don't punt.

Had a fair few SPs ask me recently to send a picture of the outside of their building when i arrive due to timewasters.

Also there has been a large uptick in being asked 'are you here yet/still coming? 10-15 mins before a booking when i am on my way, which has almost led to being cancelled if i am unable to read it as driving. My last punt was arranged in the early afternoon for evening, i msg'ed to let her know i would be attending and was on my way, and still got a confirmation request 10 mins before. Luckily I try to arrive a bit in advance of a booking and didn't miss it.

Am also getting asked to call on new punts as apparently 'other girls make fake bookings by text'. Is this really true? Other SPs take time out to make fake bookings to try to give others a bad reputation?

And I have had to start trying to get some AW feedback as an increasing amount of SPs are now refusing to see no feedback members/punters with no profile, or insisting on a deposit.

Had no idea the escorting industry was so cut-throat among WGs. Surely there are enough good punters to go around?

Which is why many restaurants ask for your credit card details on booking and will levy a charge if you don't turn up. Agreeing to this is a requirement for making a booking.

Very true.

Years ago, a bloke from Sky, told me that they often went to houses only to find no one at home. Even though the time and date of the appointment had been booked and agreed.

Surely it's still good manners to let the service provider know in advance even if they make up an excuse as to why they can't make it  :unknown:

Picking an SP is a fickle business at the best of times, it’s not unusual after making a booking in good faith to realise you are harbouring some secret doubt, or you read a newly posted comment on here that makes you have second thoughts. I always try to give the girl as much notice as possible, but with a recent mid morning booking I made the night before I decided during the night that it just wasn’t going to be raunchy enough to get me over the line, and although I sent to girl a message at 7am she didn’t look at it till gone 9am, which meant she only just had two hours notice of the cancellation. What is a chap to do in those circumstances?

I mentioned it at confession this morning and my sins have since been absolved, it only cost me 50% of the booking fee to the  collection plate in penance.

LOL.. I'm sorry about my snotty post. Especially as you have saved my dick being pulled off at the root.  I come into London via Victoria Station and been thinking about visting the massage burd above the jewellers. But I read your reviews about the lady treating your old chap as if she was trying to pull the head off a chicken.  :scare:

Not so, Viva Street has 13k escorts listed UK wide, most of them won’t be on AW, then you have all the agency and parlour girls. I’ve punted many girls from AW and I’m not even registered, so no feedback.

Cancelling a booking isn't really timewasting, unless it's last minute.  Probably annoying for the SP, but not necessarily timewasting

Good lord no, when I have aa green light and number displayed, the majority of my bookings come through by text or call, I have no idea who they are on aw or if they have feedback, I also have a profile on 2 other sites one of which has my number permanently displayed.

The only SPs that will be able to screen via AW feedback are those that only take bookings via there or ask for an AW booking request or username to check.

My bookings come from a variety of sources, also AW feedback doesn't mean a punter is reliable, simply that he turned up to the bookings for which the feedback has been left. Some with great feedback are difficult, indiscreet, unreliable. Some may be perfect or subject to benefit of the doubt on first booking, then be unreliable or continue being difficult on subsequent bookings when a booking form is not used.

Yes I had a time and date in mind, but she was already booked supposedly. I've just asked her for her next availability and apparently the charade continued as he had pretended to have arrived once he knew where she was working out from. One of these postcode collectors that have been mentioned I guess? I got the offer about 15 mins into the time I'd asked for.

All good as I am being prioritised next time, but neither girls plan to advertise for a while.

Unless you lived around the corner/were around the corner and could drop everything its not like you would arrive in a timely fashion. When you originally chatted to her if your times were flexible then you would have delayed until later anyway.
Who knows the reason for the cancellation and to say she wont advertise for a while is a little suspect as how do you get bookings unless you target previous guys and we all know we dont care for random texts

I have experience of supposed punters saying they are on their way, on their way, around the corner, town is busy, just around the corner, you are near such and such, on my way.....goes on 40 minutes past their appointment time.

Also many years ago someone using a sat nav that only used the first half of the post code, didn't heed my directions, ended up a mile away, phoned to say he couldn't be bothered and was now cancelling. Another didn't heed my directions because (in his words) he thought he would drive into the 'village' (was actually a large town) and see were to go when he arrived at the centre. He phoned to say was obviously a bit more complicated and one again would not be going ahead.

Perhaps you're ruining it for us by reviewing once every year.  :lol:  If they're your regulars, why do you need an advert?  Just message them. :unknown:     

It's selling sex. When the WG  has a booking, you get another slot.  When they're free and you can't make it. Tell them?

True, sometimes life gets in the way or the human element you're just not in the mood for the punt, there's nothing wrong with that. The best thing you can do is notify the WG in advance and apologise for the cancellation. This game is fickle on both sides of the fence

If you stayed, you would, more often than not, be waiting in the maids's kitchen.

There was a maid in Moor Street in the 90s, that always had "fallen off the back of a lorry" gear in her kitchen.  Once she had a huge pile of stone washed ladies jeans, all in the orginal packing.  She tried to sell me one or two pairs, and came out with the line: "Would suit your, wife, sister, mother or aunt!"

I was minutes from going into a £20 punt, the last thing I wanted to be thinking about were my female family members.

My feedback on AW is maybe 5% of the WGs ive seen though that site only a few non Brit Girls have bothered to worry about the booking though it and leave a feedback. Mostly its call and appear at door to see girl and the enevital happens its not the girl or the photo is well out of date and you walk then like the other Saturday afternoon I was BS by maybe the best stand in Ive encountered so I stayed I did a reveiw which is quite frankly useless as she was not the advertised girl and its now gone :( I can understand this if the girl is a top ranker on the scene and I ve paid a depoist to some to show Im not a messer but then theres always the time when you just cant get there and the excuse is not going to work I try to say Yes 1pm when do you want me to ring to confirm ? or shall I ring when at postcode which seems to be the way the lcal Brazlians operate not booking but asking you to ring when at postcode. I am now a little worried as the number for several diffrent girls is same and Ive walked from more than Id usally walk from after ringing saying Here! ....Fake Punter ...Postcode colector ...I like to think Im a fussy old git  :drinks:

Had an appointment today for 1pm at 11.30 just before having a shower I started getting uncomfortable stomach cramps then the inevitable squits.......
Took Immodium and gave it an hour, but after showering I still did not feel quite right so messaged SP to see if we could defer for a few hours to see if it cleared up. Unfortunately she couldn't see me until late evening which didn't work for me, i did offer a deposit as compensation and said I would re-book tomorrow all being well, but she was absolutely fine with that.
Couldn't think of anything worse to happen when getting down and dirty with a hot woman...........

Offline Crackpot11

To be fair, how many times as a punter have you been mucked about by an escort, changing the time/ cancelling for a spurious reason or not returning calls. It works both ways. That’s why when you find a regular there is less chance of that happening.

Offline Paul9144

I thought the majority of escorts only see punters with adult work feedback thus minimising the chance of no shows?

I know, you would think so...but it's not always the case.

I've got 11 positives, no negatives and no disputes on my AW profile. Even client connections is enabled so the SP's can fully view my profile, my photos and bio etc. I almost always reference my AdultWork profile on the opening txt message when reaching out in an attempt to book. Yet, the amount of times that it hasn't made a single bit of difference and I've been blanked still is unreal.

Then again, other occasions it's paid off, especially when the SP's phone numbers haven't been displayed and I've emailed them.

I think it ultimately comes down to the organisational skills of the SP & perhaps how busy they are on the day etc...

| few years back you could only ever book a punt by calling.

Now it seems like calling is odd and its all text / whatsapp.

I wonder if that leads to any difference.
