Ripped off in Miami Fort Lauderdale

[westbay_abaco]

Well the main reason I joined this band of brothers.

Can I please warn fellow punters about punting in Fort Lauderdale.

Had a short trip to miami as there is very little choice where I live.  Booked into the Days Inn at Oakland Park Avenue. Not recommended, but that another story.

So before leaving I got details of three or four escort agencies off the net.  One girl particularly took my fancy - Celest External Link/Members Only , as you can see she looks really fine, and at $200 per hour a good bargain I think. I call on the day and confirm arrival.  15 minutes after the due time I ring again.  They apologise saying she is running late and will be another 15 mins.  In the end she arrives some 50 mins late but hey I wasnt doin nothing anyway.

So knock on the door and I open it to find two girls - one short latina with curly black hair and a hint of moustache (wouldnt touch her with yours), about a size 10 (UK) and a tall size 8 curly blond with snakebite piercings, perhaps mixed race, slightly more attractive than the first.  But not Celest, obviously bait and switch.

So they say they travel in pairs for safety, and offer for both to stay for $360, I decline saying I dont have the money and the short ugly one asks to use the toilet.  Then she came out (I later smelled marijuana) and I asked her friend to stay.  They asked for the money and the short one takes the money and leaves.

Then the bombshell, no sex or any physical contact at all - we could go to movies or go drinking.  I then realised it was a scam and ask for my money back.  She said she was offering a "legal" escort service and selling sex in florida was illegal.  I was so stunned and disappointed I asked her to just go.  I should have just asked her sit an hour in the hotel room and watch TV but I really couldnt be bothered.

So a lesson learned.  Its not the money but its getting ripped off that bothers me.
So be warned, avoid Fort Lauderdale if you want escorts that provide the full service.

The websites for these scam artists are:
External Link/Members Only
External Link/Members Only

The blond one that came to my room was this one External Link/Members Only but doesnt look half as nice in real life.
And her friend was probably this one External Link/Members Only and she definitely was much uglier in real life.

 Also if anyone knows how to spot adverts which are genuinely selling sex in Miami, please let me know via PM if and when admin gives me PM rights.  Wouldn't want the sheriffs to know also!!

I vistited this place last year to see a client. we had meet here in the uk numerous times though ,
escorting out there is highly frowned upon, every hotel is key carded i stayed at the W and security on every door, i was on seeking arrangement back then and i changed my details to miami. i met a couple of fun guys out there ( with the agreement of my client whilst he was at work) and had a couple of meets that way !better luck next time

Use a punting number & book them/her again in a couple of weeks miles & miles away(close enough that they will accomadate you) and say you are in a certain hotel & laugh your a*se off when she arrives & calls you to say "where are you?".

[Steptoe]

Nice one Joey, although with some minor degree of fairness I will point out that what the ladies said was true - paying for sex as the OP expected IS ILLEGAL in Florida and the were right in that they can be paid  just for "company".  Will not make him feel any better though.

I have travelled to many many countries and have punted in most, but never in the USA even though I still go there quite regularly.  Far too many "sting" operations by Plod

Yes.  I didnt know her and couldnt really do my homework because the trip was a short notice trip.

This is what I will do anytime I am a bit bored.  Will cost them more than the $200 they ripped off from me.

[Peterpack]

In the US mate, do not go near any escort agency, backpage etc unless you have found a high volume of positive reviews on a site like TER

everything is bait and switch and because of the illegality everywhere, no one will report anything

I actually think Seeking Arrangement is a better way to go in the US but it takes a bit of time to tee things up

definitely check out TER, it's worth paying to be able to read full reviews

[Si198]

At least she didn't blackmail you or stole anything in my youth I went to Chicago and got done similar thing 2 girls turn up but she starts threatening police in the end I got rid of them but very scary.

America is just not worth it in fact the only women I would want to punt would be a porn star but a good few tour over here so better off saving the money for it but it's still a lot of money to see them.

Anyway sorry to hear OP

[greychap]

Yes it is highly illegal out there to sell sex and lots of police do set ups to trap people.

Even though a total rip off and bait n switch but you would of been better off not paying any of the girls and turning them away on the fact of not the girl you booked. It makes sense a lot would not offer sex if they don't have to especially as your a tourist so its not like there get you back as a regular. Nothing you can do either as you paid for escort service and not sex. Best to avoid hiring girls over there full stop for anyone considering it.

PMSL.

Paying for sex is too fraught in the US. I've only ever 'paid' once. Chatted up a cute waitress in a diner in Cheyenne, she was a student working part time, and persuaded her to stay the night at my motel. Her tip was $200 if I recall, and we were both happy with the evening.

[Peterpack]

My best ever punting experiences in the USA were in New York. I managed to get invited to a TER meet (not an easy task to get invited! ) and met a room full of great escorts. I got plenty of contact details and saw 3 of them during my trip

Done loads in Las Vegas, a bit less scammy there.

[Marmalade]

Fort Lauderdale positives: cheap flights to South America.

Puerto Rico £75 return
Colombia £118 return

Much cheaper, even when you include the cost of a hotel room and girl for the night and dinner.

Moral: if you are addicted to the U.S.A. life and/or can't afford to live abroad, learn, say, six words of Spanish.

Let your cock smile for a change!

Some friends went there a few years back and phoned a number for a girl to be sent to their hotel, an hour later the pimp knocked on their door and said it is "normal" to pay him first ------------ when they refused he said "hold onto my car keys but don't forget to give them to the girl when she leaves".

They handed over the money in exchange for the keys ----------- needless to say no girl arrived.

The old fake car key routine, Vegas is scam city, just like any tourist city full of clueless tourists with fat wallets, the hustlers don't even have to try hard, like taking candy from a baby.

Vegas is currently my favourite City -------------------- but not for pro$$ies.

Which is your favourite US city for prossies? Any?

[DrGFreeman]

I lived in the Houston TX for nearly five years and actively punted throughout
clearly buying and selling sex is illegal so everyone is a bit cagey
escort agencies that advertise publicly are a rip off, agencies that advertised on sites like this one may be a better bet
you needed to establish that you were a genuine client and not a cop
the first way to do this was to publish credible reviews so people could see you were genuine
the second was being able to get references from a known escort who would vouch for you to other girls
it takes time to build up credibility this way so only really an option if you live there for any period

what was becoming more popular when I left was P411 :
External Link/Members Only
this service acts as a third party verifier checking your references from existing escorts or confirming your work details by calling you at work via the public switchboard.
Its based in Canada so safe from US police.
If you were serious about wanting to punt in the US a P411 account might unlock all the doors.

The other one was Audrey Bitoni, another pornstar. That would been a great result if it hadn't been a scam.
