There have been two separate robberies in Dublin in the last 2 weeks so please be careful everyone. In the first robbery, a female Dublin escort working alone was robbed and assaulted by two men. All her money was taken and she was left bruised by the attack. The first robber was skinny, with a baldhead, 5'8”. The second had dark hair and was average build and 5’6” tall. They were both in their late 20s and spoke with Dublin accents. In the second robbery, again it was a female independent escort in Dublin working alone attacked by two males. The first guy was in his early 20s, with dark dirty blond hair and stubble. The second guy was skinny with brown hair. He looked as if he was on drugs and spoke with a very effeminate voice. Both had Dublin accents. These robbers used the name Paul and the phone number 086 88237** to make an appointment with the escort. (Last 2 digits of number not shown for legal reasons, but full phone number is available to working ladies only on request.) It may be the case that these are the same robbers warned about earlier in the month only now they have widened their target pool to include ladies with no connection to the website they are fighting over.

A number of escorts in Dublin have recently been the victims of robberies / attempted robberies. The robbers are 2 or in some cases 3 males working together. It has been suggested that this is the result of infighting within a gang that runs a well-known Irish escort website and only escorts listed on that website are being targeted, but all escorts should be vigilant as this kind of gang war can easily spread to those not in anyway connected.

It has just been reported to me that two Punters in Dublin were recently conned out of money by an escort service they found via its posts on one of the popular Irish escort message boards. The escort service in question is onetooneescorts@hotmail.com. All punters should be warned it appears this agency is a complete con. Aside this specific incident, if you are a punter who responds to advertisements on Irish escort message boards, you should be wary in general I think of those who advertise their services solely via posts on Irish escort message boards. Most Irish agencies and independent escorts pay to advertise on one of the popular Irish escort websites, and, apart from the fact con artists are not inclined to do this (they like taking money, not parting with it!), all of the major Irish escort websites vigorously investigate any complaints they receive about their advertisers (as they certainly do not want to be associated with any cons). So, if an Irish agency or independent escort is advertised in the listings section of a major Irish escort website, I think you can be fairly sure it / she is a genuine service provider. You cannot however be at all sure anyone who only advertises via posting messages on Irish escort message boards is a genuine service provider I think. Whilst I’m sure there are plenty of genuine people in the Irish escort business who advertise via message board posts only, obviously there are con artists out there too, and you should be aware I think: There is a much higher risk of being conned out of money when you use an Irish escort service provider who is not properly advertised on a major Irish escort website.

The number currently listed for an escort called Diane on the Irish Independent Escorts website is that of a child of 7 years. Please do not call it. This situation appears to be the result of a typing error on the part of Irish Independent Escorts. However, unfortunately despite numerous complaints to Irish Independent Escorts, including from the Garda, they have still not removed this child's number. It seems their admins are on holiday as this has been going on for nearly 2 weeks now. Could everyone else please give this child's family a break and not call the number. Thank you.

Crimestoppers (UK) has released a short film about sex trafficking online, with the aim of raising awareness and reminded escort clients that they can call Crimestoppers annoymously if they have any information about sex trafficking.
