Beware of Backpage frauds! Tips on how to spot fakes and scam artists. - 51
Posted : Monday, January 27, 2025 01:38 PM | 1 views
I'm Fancyinheels, and I've been an escort/companion in the Houston area and a Backpage advertiser since May of 2007 and have an excellent reputation. I'm taking a moment at my own expense to call attention to fraudulent practices in the escort/companion industry, and tell you what to watch out for here on Backpage.
Unfortunately, a common shameful deception is women who steal photos from other ladies and put them in their own ads. This negatively impacts all honest and reliable escorts/companions when frauds don't want to post photos of their own faces or bodies, and is called "bait and switch." Seeing the same picture under several different names is a dead giveaway. Here's something you can try: Right click on the photo in question, particularly if it's not watermarked like mine on the side here. After you click on the "save image as" (you don't actually have to save it), look at the file name and see what it says. Many ladies tag their own name to the stored photos they'll upload to their ads, and if the name doesn't agree with the one in the post, it may be stolen or some sort of scam. (I personally store my shots under Fancy or with humorous captions.) I will be Fancy as long as I'm an escort/companion, and will ALWAYS advertise under Fancyinheels, and my posts will always show my smiling face. (Why shouldn't I be happy and grinning? I LOVE my job and am not ashamed to admit it!) I will be watermarking my photos from now on to protect them, and recommend that all other escorts do likewise. Ladies, there are many free programs that can be downloaded off the Net that will walk you through the process. Gentlemen, accept no substitutes for the Irish Fancy experience!
Also, please be aware that some escort websites try to increase their own profits and take advantage of independent ladies here by copying their info or an old advertisement without permission, then posting Backpage ads with separate "Read My Reviews" links to lure people to MEMBERSHIP boards. Their intent is to promote their own escort search services and get gentlemen to sign up and pay a fee. (Reviews, by the way, are independent "consumer reports" of other fellows' experiences with a lady and always end with a yea or nay recommendation. With a little time online, you can find such info without having to pay. Many girls include snippets of their reviews on their personal websites.)
Third-party "psuedo-ads" may or may not include a reference to the escort's genuine individual webpage, and often have outdated or incorrect info, like rates that are less than what the escort actually charges. NO SITE has my authorization to do this, and my ads will NEVER divert anyone to anything other than my own Fancy website, and while you'll need my private password to sneak a peek at the twin peaks o' Ireland (the more risque poses), you will NEVER need to "join" to see my info, view public photos, and read all about me.
Unfortunately, new rules instituted by Backpage now block escorts/companions from including their private website links and/or addresses in ads. BP, and many other adult services sites, are feeling pressure by government and media conservatism and are trying to distance their companies from any legal culpability within the adult industry. This is going to make it more difficult for gentlemen to find trustworthy companions. Websites are a valuable asset to a lady for showcasing physical appearance, creativity, personality, and great as a "preview" for gentlemen, who can find general questions quickly answered there. Personal websites are standard among conscientious, dependable ladies who are serious about being true courtesans and not wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am-fly-by-nights. There are exceptions to this statement, but typically an escort/companion without a personal website is probably not planning on hanging around long, and may not take responsibility for her actions and back up her claims. Most ladies will at least mention their websites in their ads so you can email and ask for the e-address, and a true professional WILL also have an email. If the ONLY way you have of reaching an escort/companion is by phone, you have to ask WHY she's limiting herself and you in contact?
You can view the REAL Irish deal (with copies of reviews from many legitimate sources) on my website. To access it, do a search engine look-up of my name Fancyinheels and you'll find it tied to the phrase "rare-companion," or email me at fancyinheels@yahoo.com for the exact address. You can call me at 936-232-8590. (No texts, please.)
Another good way to spot a disreputable ad is by "dating" it; check and see if the poster lists WHEN they joined the Backpage family. For instance, all of my ads, as I said above, show that I've been on here since May of 2007. This tells you that I've established a history and will not ruin my good name with bogus shenanigans. An unknown lady who just joined BP might be a lovely undis gem, but also might be a ruse or a disaster-in-the-making, so be extra careful, please. An escort who doesn't want anyone to know how long she's been in the profession under her current name might be hiding something she did under a previous moniker. The bottom of each Backpage posting will include links to every other ad a lady has run recently, so you can check to see if she is using more than one alias, or photos of an obviously different person. Also, look for ladies registered with screening services like Preferred411 and Date-Check, as I am. That's extra assurance that they've been checked out by a respectable 3rd party organization and found to be legitimate escorts/companions.
Basic research tip: Do a Google search for the phone number posted in the ad. If the results show multiple ads in multiple cities with different names and pictures, the girl that answers the door probably won't be the one in the photos. Check my number, 936-232-8590, and it will always be tied to a Fancyinheels ad, review, or my website.
A warning: If you see an ad with any lady OUTRIGHT stating she's selling for money, run. Absolutely illegal to do that, and it could be a trap. Remember, all you're EVER paying for is an escort's TIME. Never discuss intimate activities or rates over the phone or via email, and if you don't get up on or deleted for explicit and/or vulgar comments, you really ought to be worried about who's on the other end and why they're still communicating with you. Non-specific inquiries are acceptable, but everything you really need to know should be in an ad or website, and if not, you need to watch out for "upselling," where a lady tacks on extra "service" charges for anything additional to her just showing up. One last thing: Please realize that you get what you pay for, and a cheap deal isn't always the BEST deal. Quality costs more, gentlemen.
