Safety tips

For clients

Book through a listing with a phone number that answers, and agree the time, place and price in writing before you meet. Never pay a deposit by gift card, crypto or bank transfer to someone you have not met: it is the most common scam in this business. Photos that look like a magazine shoot are often copied; a recent, plain photo is a better sign.

For escorts

Screen new clients, tell someone you trust where you are, and keep your own money and phone. If anyone takes your passport, controls your earnings or forces you to work, that is trafficking, and help is free.

Help lines

Emergency: 112 anywhere in the EU, 999 in the UK. UK Modern Slavery Helpline: 08000 121 700. Across Europe, the police and national anti-trafficking lines take reports anonymously.
