Last night an agency got an outcall booking for a new client. This client is Chinese or similar ethnicity. The client's address is an apartment on the Pembroke Road in Dublin and his phone number is 087 9358*** (Full details are available to established escorts as usual). The lady arrived with the client and spent an hour with him. Everything went fine. In fact, after the hour was up, the client was enjoying himself so much he called the lady's agency and arranged to extend the booking by a further 2 hours. After 3 hours, the lady was leaving, and it was at this point only that things went bad. The client started to throw the escort out without her handbag, i.e. rob her of everything she had on her including the money he'd just given her. The escort was upset by this and her natural reaction was to try to fight with him to get her back bag. The client then picked up a rock and bashed the escort over the head with it until she was subdued. The lady is back with her friends now and seems ok, bar that she is obviously traumatised and upset and is sporting some nasty gashes and bumps to her head. The female manager at the lady's escort agency telephoned the client about this earlier today. He answered his phone and was very arrogant and aggressive towards the agency's manager. It is our understanding that the escort probably isn't going to report this to the Garda, but please be careful everyone as this client is clearly very dangerous. We have his details so lets circulate them and hopefully he won’t get to do the same or worse to another escort in the future.

Only a very small percentage of escort clients are straight females. Any straight man thinking of going into escorting should be aware of this. Currently there are a lot of companies trying to scam straight males wishing to break into escorting in the UK out of money, by claiming they are 'desperate' for UK male escorts and promising them vast amounts of work in exchange for an agency joining or advertising fee that will actually get them no work whatsoever. Some of these scammers have already tried to target Irish males too and no doubt more will in the future. Of course not all companies offering to employ or advertise male escorts are scamming, but straight males wanting to get into escorting should be aware that scammers are around. SW5 provides excellent information about this issue. See http://www.sw5.info/straightmen.htm for further information.

It has been reported that there is a Polish girl working the streets in Cork who is going with clients, getting to a spot where the money is handed over and then doing a runner. A heavy build man who drives a red car is her accomplice in this endeavour. She works along Morrisons Island and is very pretty and aged between 19 –25.

Two men posing as clients and using the numbers 086 82008** and 086 89887** are currently intimidating independent escorts in Ireland in a serious manner.

A number of different ladies are reporting that they are getting harassing and abusive phone calls from a religious nut type whilst working in the Limerick area. Many of the phone calls are very menacing and threatening. Also, one lady believes the same individual has committed criminal damage on her property. Unfortunately this individual appears to be using a vast array of different phone numbers, so there is little point publishing phone numbers to beware of in this case.
