I have been seeing posts as of late saying that tryst has issues with scammers and spam because it is free. There *is* a free option, but just from the time I have spent reviewing the site I have yet to find a scam/spam profile that is using the free option. The "premium+" tryst option is $176 a month and this seems to be by far the most common advertising option for the scammers. The "lite" option (free option) is going to put you at the bottom of the search whereas the premium+ accounts will all show up first. There are three options in between that are from $41 to $117. Are all providers that have the premium+ option a scam? Of course not. When I first got on tryst they did do verification, but I have seen providers post on some of the forums that if you sign up for the premium+ option right away and pay for it the verification process is much more "quick and easy". So in my professional hooker opinion I think tryst started out with very good intentions but in the end the mighty dollar won out. I would very much hope they would do something to purge the scammers, but as we all know money is money. I think tryst assumed the higher price points for the top tier advertising options would attract reputable providers, but in the end I think it just attracts more riff raff that have very, very deep pockets to spend on the ads.

I can advise in 3 cities. I won’t continue to pay because I block more bs 💩 emails more than real bookings. I did get a arrangement that was successful, but no thanks to tryst bs.

As I posted recently Tryst and P411 are the only ad sites I really use. I assumed there were both free and paid options for companions, some gals ads are always on the first page and some gals ads are always on the last page. And when gals ads move up in pages I assume they upgraded their ads choices.

Sure there’s lotsa garbage to sift thru but I haven’t been scammed yet. Also, I typically search for $499 and up which I think limits the scammer ads.

Based on what other gals have shared, Tryst was founded and run by gals - maybe former companions? But to your point it has devolved into a lot of scams because of money.

Oh and when I say ‘free’ ad sites I mean free for guys. I consider P411 an ad site but it’s not free for guys, at least it’s not for me I’ve been paying for it since about 2015.

Thank you for your feedback!! And you made a very good clarification point. Tryst is free for clients to access, while P411 is NOT free for guys to access and has no free option for clients. I need to noodle on this more. I have only ever purchased the "touring" ad on P411, which is only $20 for the ad to run for a month, so quite reasonable on the provider end. Otherwise the regular ad on P411 is free, which is what I use when not touring. Does only allowing access to the site for paying clients reduce the scammers? Should the sites make providers pay for an ad but also make clients pay to access to the site??? Should there be more screening for providers AND clients for the site?? AAAHHH!!! lol So many questions. Now someone needs to run with these ideas to make a site good for providers AND clients!!!

I was wondering how that site worked.

Though I am a bit confused about what the issue is with it. They have very robust filters that can usually screen out MOST of the OF gals and scammers. And it is usually easy to spot the latter because they have nothing posted on here. And if someone is not geographically astute enough to figure out that it is impossible to be available in Atlanta, LA, and NYC at the same time, even with access to a private jet, then you should not be participating in this hobby.  

In face, a year ago, I saw this gal on Tryst that made my tiny head go insane but she was not on here. Now she is so I have another to add to the list.  

I also notice the site stopped asking for authentication when accessing with a VPN, which was something it did regularly which I found annoying.  

Also, the site is Australian if I am not mistaken. Sex work is legal there and OF is legal everywhere, so theoretically, they have no obligation to make life easy for providers in the US.

As a total newbie last year, I found Tryst to be a great resource.  I was able to cross-check with TER listings to try to be sure about everything.  

Frankly, I don't know how to spot a scammer on Tryst. But I figured double checking with TER, and also with other sites where possible, was my best bet. So far, so good!
