Most London escort listings are genuine. A minority are not, and the fakes follow a small number of patterns that are easy to recognise once you know them. Here is how to tell the difference before you part with money or time.
Seven warning signs
1. The photographs are somebody else
The most common fraud of all. Save one of the images and run a reverse image search — Google Images and TinEye both take an uploaded file. If the same face appears on modelling sites, on social accounts in another country, or on twenty escort listings in five cities, it is not her.
Studio-perfect photographs with no consistency of setting between them are worth a second look. Genuine galleries usually show the same person in the same few locations.
2. The price is far below everyone else
London hourly rates sit in a well-understood band. Across our own roster the median is £300 incall and £350 outcall, and 43% sit at £200–£250. A listing offering a supposedly elite companion at £80 an hour is not a bargain; it is bait. See our prices guide for what the real range looks like.
3. You are asked for a deposit by bank transfer, gift card or crypto
This is the single clearest signal. Legitimate London agencies take payment in cash at the booking. If somebody wants money up front — particularly by a method you cannot reverse, and most especially gift cards — stop there. There is no deposit that becomes safe because the reason sounds convincing.
4. Nobody will speak to you on the phone
A real agency answers the telephone. If every attempt is deflected to text or WhatsApp and a voice call is always impossible, ask why. Hearing a human being before you commit is a reasonable expectation.
5. The urgency is manufactured
“Three other men are asking about her tonight, send the deposit now.” Pressure to decide immediately exists to stop you checking. A genuine booking can wait the ten minutes it takes you to think.
6. Details keep shifting
The age changes between the profile and the conversation. The area moves. The rate quoted on the phone is not the rate on the page. Any one of these can be an honest slip; two or more is a pattern.
7. The address only arrives after payment
For incall, you should be given the address once the booking is confirmed — before any money changes hands, and near enough to the appointment that it is useful. “Pay first and I will send it” is not how this works.
What a legitimate booking looks like
- You telephone, and a person answers.
- The rate you are quoted matches the rate published on her profile.
- No deposit. You pay her, in cash, at the booking.
- For outcall you give a hotel and room number; for incall you are given an address.
- Nobody hurries you.
If you have already been caught
Do not send more money — a request for a second payment to “release” the first is a continuation of the same fraud, not a fix. Contact your bank immediately, as card payments and some transfers can be recalled if you act quickly. Report it to Action Fraud, the UK’s national reporting centre. Keep the messages.
