It happened to me yesterday and they use TrueCaller to identify your surname because I was shocked that he didn't know I was a student he assumed I was an old man. I asked an escort about it and she said that the same people phoned her and told her she stole a client's phone and he wanted R3k to settle with the client. Meanwhile she wasn't even working. It's a scam don't fall for it

Nevil, had exactly the same experience when I enquired about prices etc about two months ago and had made NO booking...Was a very full of shit call...in fact they called three or four times after I terminated the call. The last time I told them I would see them in court...They obviously try and intimidate you into paying....About 5 years ago I had an even worse experience....Enquired off an add in the paper but again did not make a booking...Had a call the next day and was told to pay R3000 for cancelling a booking and the lady had waited for me....I argued about it and after hanging up I received an sms stating my full name, ID number and physical address and that I would have to pay R3000 or they would be visiting me at 2 in the morning to collect....This went on for about a week...sms's and phone calls and every day the price had gone up....I really shat myself but eventually swore at them (after seeing my lawyer) and told them to fuck off. My lawyer had said they were just trying their luck and it bbviously works more times than not....Guys don't be intimidated....They're scum

Mr Somebody...yes....They were very professional and used a tracing agent or something like that...I don't do much social media anymore as you can be traced so easily...It was a very scary experience ....I had used my regular phone but who knows where they got the info ...It's very easy...banks.. credit bureaus...cellphone providers..estate agents etc.etc....That is why I don't like to visit the "Cheapies"...too much risk! But I'lll still be punting for as long as I can...I will be posting today about yesterdays experience....Awesome experience

Well i guess using your regular phone is a definite no no.
You could have had something advertised on Gumtree, Junkmail etc and a simple google search would have brought it up (even expired ads)
Then they call, pretending to be interested in the item, thus obtaining your address - or facebook search your number - and get to your profile - which has all your info.
Safest - DO NOT USE YOUR REGULAR PHONE TO CALL EVER

just to add , these ppl are working with the girls who probably have some recording app on there fones recording the calls
i doubt that this is happening without the girls knowing what is going on , so it would come down to which girls are in on this
in my experience i cant be sure cos i cant actually remember who i called before making a booking, or it could be the girl that i
did see who is megan in overport ,been to her before and it never happen so cant be sure if it is actually her
although before finalising a booking i did speak to some other girls who was either busy or price was out so just monitor who you speak to
and am sure we will know who is the culprit

Happened to me a month or two back. Lucky I have cop friends who told me its a scam. They’ve had one or two of those.
I called a few numbers On the day but never visited anyone due to time.
I wont lie it was a mind fuck because these guys are really convincing.

Hi there everyone
Made a few calls yesterday afternoon but didn't actually book.
Today I get a call from vip protection services saying they have a recording of my phone conversation and the girl wants her money. If I don't sort out directly with the girl, they will step in and charge me R 18000. I said to tell the girl to call me.
5 mins later a lady calls and says she is the secretary for sexyladiez and I owe her boss R 2500 for making a booking the previous day. If I don't pay then vip will step in and the price rises to R 18k.
I said to her that if she wants me to pay, I'll meet her at the police station and pay whatever she wants. She then said that I'm not Co operating and she's asking vip to step in and come to my home to collect the money.
I'm not sitting at home shit scared incase these guys come to my apartment.
What should I do??
PS This sounds eerily similar to Nevils post from a few months back. Any update on that Nevil?

James I hope you right
Had two more calls today which my phone automatically rejected as it came from a spam number, so I'm not sure if it was them or some other spam.
Just hoping this is the end of it all

I know I am right, I work in law enforcement. They are trying to intimidate you.

When I want some meat I phone around,a call is not a binding commitment. Take the number to a cop shop and report the user for extortion
