Avoid!! Time waster

This number 07486020179 a guy called Tom. Wont send a photo of himself and is using stock images from the internet, i told him i will report him and not be engaging with him to which he then insulted me. Not sure if theres a website you can put numbers on to warn other escorts or not.

It’s called client eye and has soo many time wasters on there so you can see who they all are before they turn up

Why do you want pics of clients? He probably can't show his face, job, married etc.

Clients rarely show their faces

I think it's a fine line with pictures. I prefer to have one because we still have the right to choose and they have the right to anonymity. I just explain I too am married and I would feel a lot safer if I knew who I was meeting. Also WhatsApp have disappearing pictures you can't screen shot. I have never had anyone refuse and for me it shows a level of respect

I've been doing this work for 30 years, and I've never heard of providers asking for a photo of their clients beforehand.

I am not surprised they object. If you need to see his photo before you agree to see him, this probably isn't the right job for you, IMHO.

.
Totally agree. It’s not dating ffs

Any provider can put ANY rules in place that she wants to ensure her safety. It may limit her client pool as some won't feel comfortable with that but that is her choice. You may not do it, but again, her choice.

Very true.
However - the client is right to be surprised by the request for a photo beforehand - it isn't a normal request.

I don't think people should be labeled as time wasters when they object to a weird request.

And this thread was started because the OP wants to warm others about this man: "Not sure if theres a website you can put numbers on to warn other escorts or not."

Also, I'm a service provider, and I don't provide my photo to anyone—it isn't on my website, and I don't send them images by WhatsApp.

And plenty of clients would choose not to book an escort who doesn't show her face (as is their choice). I don't show mine.
It isn't the fact that he didn't want to send a photo that is an issue, it's that he tried to circumvent her personal safety policy. That is a red flag surely? He could have said "I don't feel comfortable doing that" but he attempted to lie in order to get around her personal boundary, regardless of whether it's an odd one or not. What other boundaries is he prepared to push/break when he meets someone?

I think it's important here to not demonize the OP, it is her choice to only meet with clients who send a pic of themselves as a safety measure. This is not a weird request at all and it also does not mean she is in the wrong job.

No client has to send a pic of themselves, so they can refuse and leave the conversation. But in this case the client did not do that, instead he sent pics that were not of himself and then insulted the escort when confronted on his actions. You have to question why he went to such extremes rather than leave the conversation and locate an escort who does not insist on a pic.

Please dont demonize other escorts, it does not make you a better one. The OP has chosen to share this info in order to warn other escorts as she obviously isnt aware of the existing blacklists available, you dont have to avoid Tom if you dont wish to as that's your choice which I'm sure the OP respects.

Perhaps we are reading different things???

I didn't see her say he tried circumvent anything. He didn't send a pic of someone else and pretend it was him (from my reading of it).

She asked for his personal photo because there is a stock image on his profile
And he said he didn't want to send his personal photo.

When she said she doesn't meet people unless she has seen their photo
He then insulted her for that.

I personally don't think he should have insulted her - but I also think there are many aspects about how people feel being vetted by a [photo pf themselves feels unpleasant and unfair.
It's also not usual for sex workers to ask for photos of clients so it is understandable he might feel annoyed by it.

Therefore, as I sad I don't think his behaviour deserves to be reported as a time waster. From the little we know.

I do apologise for "demonizing" another escort, however.
She is perfectly entitled to run her business as she sees fit. And I was wrong to criticize her for that.
SORRY!

I've just check his CE. He has 26 reports .he wants BB , calling escorts horrible names. Pretending to be a woman . Lots more... all since 2021. Last report was April this year. So he is a total time waster ..

I expected as much simply going from the information given by the OP, they are normally serial time wasters

Always trust your feelings is the lesson here!!!

Thank you for this info

I appreciate everybodies feedback and personal opinions. I am not a full time escort nor do i wish to be as i have other priorities, I request peoples age, nationality and a recent photo purely because I work from home so in order to protect myself, my neighbours and family - it means i have evidence of who these people are and they are on my ring doorbell.
Ive worked for an agency before and knew only peoples ages and race and felt extremely uncomfortable with that. I have a friend in the industry and being independent it allows me to vet people how i wish to. Everybody has different ways of approaching their clients and that is utterly your choice.

I'd rather be safe than sorry!
