Where I called from is not the point though I didnt call from home. The point is what happened after.

Had an unsolicited call (and they LEFT a message on my PHONE!)from an agency. First, I didnt give them my number. Im sure they got it off a caller ID as I had called earlier in the day.
Secound, they announced thus and so was available on a specific day and for me to call to make an appointment.
To say the least, this is very disturbing and Im wondering what the best course of action would be. Im tempted to "out" them on my local board as serious bad repercussions could result if the wrong person got the message. Any one have this happen to them? The agency enjoys a good reputation but know the owner made the call not an underling so I will not write it off to stupidity.

out them.  That agency broke one of the most basic rules of this business. It is the fact that they LEFT A MESSAGE that warrants the outing. What if your boss, wife, child, SO, etc. were to have accessed this message???  You will be doing a service to OUR COMMUNITY by letting us know who it is so we can decide if we want to take the risk of doing business with an agency with these kind of practices!!!!!!!

I get guys that call and their number comes up on caller ID, but would never call them back unless I was asked to!

Had a provider I saw (once), call me about a month later, on my cell.  Told her it was unprofessional and not to call again.  She called again.  I made an appointment, went to see her, told her never to call again and did not pay her for her time.  I think she got the point.  Has not called again.  MA in LA

That's incredible. I've nevr called anyone on a home phone, just cell phones. And only if and when they requested. Hope that one reads this board!

That was a very inappropriate thing to do.  

Discretion is very important.  One should have enough common sense to never leave a message unless asked to.

I do invite ladies to contact me if they so choose.  They are given my home and cell phone numbers and I don't mind.  I'm single and don't have to be concerned with an SO, etc.  Most people would not welcome such a call AND MESSAGE.

I would out them on this forum.  What is to prevent them from doing it to someone else???

and in particular, DISCRETION for this kind of business especially! Even if they were tacky (or stupid) enough to call, you would think they would at least be able to creatively leave you a message that only you could decipher, but they couldn't even pull that off.

Absolutely, I would let others know.
It's INEXCUSABLE!

pinhead left a detailed message too.  This is so wrong and I think you shouldn't turn the other cheek. Either call the agency back and give them an earful and/or out them on the board.  At least this may help them get it through their thick skull that this isn't an acceptable practice.

on your local board. Nothing explains or justifies that. It could be worse, you could have had an escort yelling your escort name at your window. It happened to me this Friday and I am resorting to packing my bags, leaving my personal home due to this provider's blunder. My life will be lived in hotels until I can buy my own land somewhere. Never again will I trust a provider. My clients are super cool, and super discreet. Twice in the past year providers have outed me. Careless mistakes like this should be made examples of and not tolerated. (see page two of LA board for background story.)

I am so sorry this happened to you.

What really irks me about this is that this was a "popular" provider whoi should have known better.
I read your post on the LA board and was flabbergasted that she would have been so unethical and crude.

For what it is worth, I believe you handled it properly and are doing the right thing.
While her actions may have been innocent in her mind, they could have opened a door and given access to your life for any nut case and whacko.

This is the kind of action I have come to expect from some of the "gentlemen" of this community, not the ladies.

Again, in my humble opinion, you have responded in precisely the proper manner.

Just my opinion...

It is a little unusual to receive a return call based upon a number an agency picked from caller ID but in general this type of thing happens with enough frequency that most hobbyists who feel vulnerable try to protect themselves with seperate cell phones or other measures to prevent discovery by employers and family.  Unfortunately whether dealing with an agency or an independent unsolicited calls are common enough so that most hobbyists no longer mention them on the boards but just deal with them as they happen.  This type of thing is just a hobby related risk.  

In the case of this agency it would be helpful to your fellow hobbyists if you mentioned the name on your local board.

I had a provider call me on about 3 occasions asking if I wanted to see her. I liked her a lot, but I was never in the mood whenever she called me. It didn't dawn on me that this was unprofessional, but in hindsight it was.

i find it hard to beleive that they called you back with out you leaving them a message. Its possible but unlikely

Maybe your message was rude?
maybe you asked a question when you called
Maybe you were drunk when you called and pissed off the phone girl
maybe they were sick of seeing your number on thier caller ID with out you ever seeing someone
maybe youre just posting here because youre bored and it never happened

.... who knows what the real story is. out them or dont out them WHO CARES! is it really that hard of a quandry for you to figure it out on your OWN? or is the cyber High five what youre really after.

there are so many variables. and of course the TER dogs all comming running to your defense. its typical. And one of the resons i dont read these boards very much anymore. the FEW spewing thier venom about how their way is the ONLY way.

if you didnt want anyone to call you back then BLOCK YOUR LINE, dont leave a message or better yet DONT CALL AT ALL.

but really to whine about your experience and to "ask" for advice because you dont know what to do???  just makes you look like your pandering to the Kommunity or youre really dumb.

you pick.


Flame on :)

learn how to spell so we clearly understand your point, close your TER account, and get on with your life if expressing one's opinion bothers you so much. The real irony is that you're guilty of the very thing that you're spewing about---talk about begging a question.

i meant it when i said "Komunity" with a K ....

Comrade.. obviously i wasnt trying to pander to the lowest common.... well you get the rest...
