Got Scammed Tonight - Clients Scam List.

Let's face it - scammers are EVERYWHERE - always have been and always will be.
Identifying escort scammers adds another element to the issue again. At Langtrees.com, we are all for ‘calling them out’—it's downright bad for business and detrimental to honest escorts and agencies. I asked Mrs Langtrees, who has 45 years of experience, and she said about 20% of escorts are scammers, and 80% are True Blue, but you must remember that is the same percentage as dentists.

I recently read a story on the Talkin' Sex Forum of a guy who shared his disastrous encounter with what was supposed to be a double escort booking.

This article delves into the issue of escorts who take money without providing services, shedding light on the warning signs and offering advice to protect yourself.

Langtrees.com has had two clients who have been badly scammed. The last one was an attractive Adelaide escort. When she arrived at the clients home, she told the client he must pay her so she could give the driver the fee. She then jumped in the van with the clients $600, and drove away.

The first one was last Christmas, an escort in Melbourne. The client transferred $1,000 into her account; she said she was on her way, but he never saw her or had contact with her again.

What Do We Do? Our policy is to pause the escort profile, and we try to phone her first, then SMS, and then we must sort out a complaint. If we receive no reply, we try a third time by email. If no contact is made, we delete the advertiser's profile and add a warning to her account.

Now we have this blog, we can then add her email address and phone number to this BLOG, and like some sites have ugly mug lists, in time, we will be able to create an escort scammers list for members only; this will only be available to members that have clicked a favourite blog and made a review, one private message & one comment on BLOGS.

Shortly, we will have four member categories - General, BLOGS ONLY, GOLD and CLUB 100 members. Club 100 can only be added by Mrs Langtrees manually, as these are for escorts and members from Talkin Sex who have helped her get Langtrees.com off the ground. Members will automatically go to Gold when logged into their account 100 times and have done at least 10 interactions like favourites, reviews and blog comments.

Also, I have a question: Should I add Statistics to their membership? Would this offend the members? I look to feedback on this question?

Understanding the Issue

Look, mate, we all get it—companionship is a universal need, and hiring an escort can be a discreet way to scratch that itch. But not everyone’s playing fair dinkum in the game. A small handful of dodgy operators advertise the dream but leg it with your cash quicker than you can say, “Hang on a sec.” Not only does this rip you off, but it also gives the whole industry a bad rap, leaving honest clients high, dry, and frustrated.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

If you’re thinking of booking an escort, keep your eyes peeled for these warning signs:

Too-Good-to-Be-True Profiles: Mate, if you see a “model” offering services for $100, it’s probably as legit as a drop bear sighting. Genuine top-tier escorts usually start around $500 per hour. They’re upfront about what they offer and pride themselves on giving you value for your hard-earned bucks.
Cash-Only Demands: While cash is still king for discretion, insisting on full upfront payment without a traceable option (like credit cards or secure platforms) is a worry. Most escorts will ask for a 50% deposit, with the rest paid on arrival. But if they suddenly “need to check with their driver” and disappear, you’re not just out of pocket—you’re out of luck.
Shifty Communication: If they’re vague, dodging details, or changing meeting spots like a game of hide-and-seek, it’s a red flag waving loud and clear.
No Reviews or References: Reputable escorts usually have a few glowing reviews.
Pressure Tactics: Anyone pushing for fast payments or creating fake urgency is likely taking you for a ride—and not the fun kind.

What to Do if You’ve Been Stung

If you’ve been scammed, don’t beat yourself up—it happens to the best of us. Here’s how to handle it:

Document Everything: Keep all texts, emails, and receipts. If it comes to reporting the scam, this is your ammo.
Report the Fraud: Hit up the platform where you found them and let them know what went down. Many sites take this stuff seriously—it’s their reputation on the line too.
Warn Others: Share your experience on forums like Talkin’ Sex or Punter Planet. Keep it factual—you’re warning the boys, not starting World War III.
Learn and Move On: Use the experience to sharpen your radar for dodgy deals. Next time, consider booking through a reputable agency or brothel to avoid the hassle.

How to Protect Yourself

Let’s keep your wallet safe and your dignity intact. Follow these tips:

DYOR (do your own research): Read reviews and make sure they have a legit presence online.
Set Clear Expectations: Sort out the details beforehand so you’re both on the same page.
Use Trusted Platforms: Stick to services that vet their providers.
Trust Your Gut: If something feels off, walk away. Better safe than sorry, mate.
Run the photo thru tin eye to see if it has been used elsewhere.

Wrapping It Up

Hiring an escort can be a top-notch experience, but don’t let the dodgy operators ruin it for you. Stay sharp, look for the warning signs, and remember: scammers thrive on desperation and blind trust. If you play it smart, you’ll be laughing—and enjoying the time you paid for.

At the end of the day, treat it like a trip to the pub—go in with your wits about you, know what you’re paying for, and make sure you leave satisfied. Cheers to staying safe and having a bloody good time!
