Initially I thought it was Spam that slipped through my filter but I glanced through it to see what sort of scam someone was running today. Some lawyer or soldier looking to transfer a large sum of money out of some country?  Or is the director of the FBI is threatening to arrest me for terrorist activities.  No, it's a girl running a special.

OK, mildly annoying but not a huge deal for me as my email and computer are completely my own; no worries abut someone snooping.  Except the name and number are not at all familiar to me and when I have the chance to search to see to whom it does belong, this is who I come up with.

Unless I am seriously confused, I have never seen her or tried to see her.  Now that is significantly more annoying.  Then I wonder how she got my email address.  I don't go around handing it out all over the place and I searched this board and did not see that I have ever posted it here.  That means someone else gave it to her.

Not cool at all.  Some people are pretty clueless when it comes to being discrete.

...or starting about a couple of months ago, I noticed that was some sort of virus going around with email.

I would receive emails from other providers and clients with only a link in the email and cc-ed to several other email addresses.

I haven't noticed the problem as much lately, but every once in awhile.

Maybe this is how she got your email address.

I don't know, but I don't think escorts typically go around handing out their clients email addresses. After all, they want to keep their clients, and most of them are competitive not wanting to share their clients.

Or it could be that someone isn't discreet, but sometimes there is more to the story...and it could be a virus.

She advertised on eros for several years up until two or three years ago.

She had and maybe still has an email that goes something like this: [email protected]

I saw her several years ago before I discovered TER. Nothing to write home about. I would be generous with a 5/5. Pictures are old and deceptive, $100 upsell for each service past CBJ which was horrible, likes to talk and milk the clock.

Earlier this year I received an email from her at an old account of mine that I now simply use to forward email to my current account. I suspect she might be digging up old email addresses from her contacts list.

It is possible you might have inquired with her years before, providers are sharing email addresses which does not surprise me or there is a virus which accessed someone email account.

Email solicitations from unknown providers are nothing new for me. It is the phone calls from both known and unknown providers that concern me. Like you I am relatively safe but still would like to maintain my sanity and keep my personal life private.

There have been a few discussions about her on the board over the years.

But she's not someone I ever had any interest in.

If I had known it was a B&S, I wouldn't have asked her to come to my hotel. I know better now plus I hadn't discovered TER at that time.

With the tank to the economy, you have some ladies who used to be sweet and friendly turn into territorial-to-each-his-own escorts. Some of these ladies are highly popular here and suddenly they don't like a girl who has better photos, perkier breasts, higher rates, good word of mouth or better reviews. They snap in an instance and go from friendly to spreading rumors because they are insecure. Ladies have to put food on the tables and feed their kids or splurge on their shoe habit. They are NOT sharing emails addresses of clients they want to keep!...because those clients pay the bills.

Vorlon: I hope you are able to figure out the issue. It might be a virus or a one of a kind escort who likes to share her client's information...and in essence give away money...even in this economy. While I highly doubt it, I sincerely hope you find what you seek...the root of this issue.

Take care.

Let's face it. Most providers who post on CL, CV and BP are not exactly known for being business savvy.

While the idea not to share emails with competitors and potentially lose business makes plenty of sense to you and me. I doubt it makes sense to them. By exchanging emails, they may simply think of it as making their pool of potential customers larger.

Many of these CL, CV and BP are known for traveling in groups, sharing hotels rooms and incall locations as well. Many also share phone numbers or trade them. I wouldn't hold it beyond them to share email accounts and addresses.

Often providers advertising as "independent" share a booking agent/screener, "manager" or are simply friends and share email accounts.

It's not rocket science.

The original poster contacted one girl and his email address was not shared but rather already a part of a collective email pool.

I thought we were talking about true independent ladies, not what you refer to, which certainly makes sense.

What a shitty thing to do by the way...and completely indiscreet.

Hope that doesn't mean I'm going to be getting a bunch of these but at least right now I can't think of anyone who has that address who I think might do that.  Or maybe it was one of those viruses that harvest people's address books.

Fortunately it's a purely hobby email and I am the only on with access so I can always mark those sorts of things as SPAM.

This is what would have me concerned, why should there be ANY collective pool of addresses or numbers? Which ladies are using the same booker/manager? I believe I saw a reference to this today regarding Kylie and Alison who both seem to be with what I thought was an agency or do I have the wrong Kylie & Alison, or are they the same as Karin/Bella2sexy and Allison Quarters?

Or she may be mining email addresses somewhere.   Your hobby e-mail should not be linked to your regular email.   (Same goes for hobby phones.)    I had a provider e-mail my old hobby account...  which I foolishly reused since it was a dirivative of my regular e-mail.   I gave her my new hobby mail & got her to delete the previous one...  that was the last time I saw her.
