Probably not a scam, per se, just an unnecessary middle man.

that is a normal procedre with escort agencies. they just want your hotel info and the date you are staying. so eventualy they can send a catalogue on available girls during the date you will stay. but if they also ask for your credit card number than it definatly smells like scam.

thanks soccer apprecaie your advice.

Agreed. Why use an Escort Agency (i.e. middleman), when, in Thailand, many-many beautiful girls are going to try to sell you sex?

All right, DgVictor, give them your address, if you wish. But, I, myself, would never ever give them my hotel address info, and/or the days when I'd be staying in Thailand. All over Asia, and especially in the 3rd World, the problem is that they want to sell you something, and they're are big-time PESTS who won't take "no" for an answer. When I was in Bangkok and Hong-Kong, it's sounds incredible now, but, when I think back, I recall that, very persistently, they kept calling me, at my hotel, for what seemed like every 5 minutes. They were pests. Big time! No question about it!

Mike,

I replied that I wouldn't send my hotel details...so I declined to take a booking.

Think it will work ou better in any case.

Felt uneasy about emailing my hotel confirmation to a overpriced 'middle man" escort service.

I can't see any evidence of a scam, they probably get untold timewasters asking for information with no intentions of making a booking. The prices are about right ----for an escort agency, I was nearly tempted on my last trip by "Pinky".
Most of these girls are freelancers who work other venues such as Angels or CM2, all you have to do is find them and you will pay half the rates on that web-site.

Agreed. Why use pimps? As JRC says, if you use freelancers, you will pay half the rates offered by web sites.

We don't know if it's a scam until a scam happens in real time, but, by that time, it's usually too late run to the local cops. The problem is, if you give them your name, address, and, I might add, phone number, you're gonna be pretty vulnerable to scams.

What I'm most concerned about is the presence of aggressive pimps.

When I visited Bangkok, one loudmouth pimp on the street followed me for hours, and he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer.

When I was visiting Hong Kong, it was pretty much the same, but, at that time, the aggressie pimps were over the telephone. My phone kept ringing all the time. And, thanks to my beloved hotel, I couldn't even unplug the phone. Aggressive pimps, I couldn't get rid of them.

mate! I don't see why anyone uses these agencies...why would you want to pay 8000bht for a babe when you can get the same good looking babe for 1000bht all night. ????

Where can you find babes of this level in Bkk? I've tried in some bars, but the quality was not the same.

Freelancers... they are almost anywhere and everywhere in BKK. I don't know how everyone else hooks up with chicks in BKK, but when I was in BKK -- they were were a lot like paparazzi -- hordes of great looking teenage chicks who kept relentlessly following me.

FYI, paparazzi is a plural term for photographers who take candid photographs of celebrities, usually by relentlessly shadowing them in their public and private activities.

Massimo - the girls in the agencies are all working the street as well - if an agency job comes in they drop everything and go to the job. I can absolutely confirm that most if not all the pics on these websites are photo touched. I know a girl on a site and she looks nothing like as pretty as her pic, and her boyfriend is the one that retouches all the pics for the website.
