I have done this 3 times now with my wife (I consider myself a very lucky guy) and everytime it has been a bait and switch. Not the same girl as in the picture. 2 times have been O.K., not same girl but still a keeper. Last night not so good. Provider was not even close and not what we had expected and so we ended it before it started. I need to avoid this at all cost next time. Any ideas, or insight ? I need help quickly.

...also, schedule incall.  That way when YOU show up, if you see the B&S is on, you can say, "sorry but there's been a mistake" and simply leave.  In that event, you and your wife will have to simply make do with each other, but you will have dealt with the B&S the best way possible.

I know you are an indy, who I hope to meet!!!

However, there are a number of fantastic, reliable agencies out there!!!

Well I would recremend getting a vip membership here. Then go to the vip section. Then you can search for an escort in where you live and know exactly what they allow or not. Also you will see reviews of what others guys thought of her and a possible link to a website where you might find a picture of her.

Your misfortune can be partially attributed to the fact that many providers, agency or independent, prefer not to see couples for whatever reason. So you probably need to do a little more research on the provider and make it clear when making the appt. that a bait and switch is not an option. At any rate, if you choose an established provider with favorable reviews (probably an independent) you should not have this problem.

Ditto.  Well said jazz32.

It goes on with agencies.. Hence... stay away from agencies... and b/c boards as well

They typically do not have a website (although some do), usually only posting ads on various escort malls, etc.  Some are travelers, others stay put but prey on unsuspecting traveling clients.

But it's not as uncommon as you might think.

you mustn't be doing your homework, pick an indy with 10 reviews or more with high ratings in looks and no indication from the details of B&S.  Helpful to pick indies with clear pics of their face, less chance they can B&S you.

I live in the land of no panic /no ripoffs and just good clean fun. I am sorry ? What do they do ? Send their friends or neighbors instead ? LOL

you have my utmost respect!!!

However, Eros, Cityvibe, CL, etc, are full of women (indy and agency), who post pictures of someone else, post pictures that are not representstive of how she looks now, and never, ever, provided the services implied on her site.

THIS IS BAIT AND SWITCH!!!

I now live in England, but I'm from Phoenix, where there are at least 5 great agencies, representing most of the most popular ladies there.  Yes, indies are a surer bet, but agency gals are not the risk you and others suggest they are!

Fake or misleading pictures, services advertised but not offered, and upselling above posted rates  are only three examples of how independents can bait-n-switch to get you hooked and then deliver the whammy.  If even offered, a commonly used 'excuse' for a different girl than the photo is "oh, she had an emergency and asked me to come in her place instead."

I don't know about the climate in New York, but there are several agencies in Atlanta with both great reputations and top-notch ladies.  Very professional, GFE, on-time, no clock-watching, etc. - and NEVER bait-n-switch or upselling.

We have a great bunch of independents, too - many of which got their start with one of the better agencies in town.

Your post and the link are hilarious!  Thanks

Wasnt even thinking of the whole eros /CL thing.. Upstate ny is so clean and so vanilla.. I forget how it is everywhere else..

Sorry for the mis information !

Hugs to all.. and to jazz.. Jazz , do you have that british accent going on ??? Yummy.. LOL!

actually the ladies here, particularly the 3 I saw this evening, seem to really like my American accent!!!

3 ladies you ask?  I went to a party, something new I've found since coming to England.  Tonight is was 4 guys, 3 providers for 2 hours, all for £100, about $180!!!  Talk about value for money!!!

Like I said earlier, an indy, a well reviewed indy like yourself, is a surer bet, just don't sell the truly professional agencies short.
