Two or three years ago when Eros was just getting started they would offer a month Free and treated the women so well. I started having trouble with Eros about 6 months ago when they started charing me OUTRAGEOUS fees for advertising I did not ask for. They would put me in multiple cities and multiple categories and charge me for it. When I pointed out that this was a mistake (THEIR MISTAKE) They stopped short of telling me to take a flying leap! I had to PAY UP to keep my own Ad in the right category. I didnt benefit from that incorrect advertsing, I did not ask for it! Yet I had to pay!
I pointed out that the ladies are the ONLY CONTENT they have, if it was not for the ladies the gents wouldnt even go to that site! I also counted all the girls on the site at that time and took an educated guess at what each was paying (based on what I and other providers I know were paying) and Eros is pulling in $30,000+ a month...and they want to nickle and dime ME!?!
Not only that, one provider I know said Eros refused to put a link to her website (in her Ad) unless SHE put a link to EROS ON HER SITE! BLACKMAIL! :0( They want FREE ADVERTISING! They werent kidding either, they wouldnt add the link until their banner was on her site!
The folks from Eros have LOST THEIR MINDS! Girls are pulling Bait & Switches with other provider photos, COPS are advertising on Eros and setting up clients. What the *^#@!& are they doing down there???? Sleeping???? I would love to lead a mass exodus of Eros! I dont have any advertising on their site right now, I'm sure they dont miss my little $$$, but they need to be put back in their place. Eros wouldnt be what it is today without the ladies!

Has anyone had any problems with Eros?
1) Stolen Pictures
eg. A girl steals your photos and they do nothing to her.
2)Very Rude staff
eg. We pay them on time for years but they still treat us like garbage.
3)Different Rules for different girls.
4)When you catch them in a lie,(paper work to show) they transfer you and make up a new lie to cover the last one.
How can we stop "Bait and Switch" if the company who is suppose to screen these women won't do their job? Also if the phone people don't like dealing with providers, get another job!
they did nothing. That was by email. Did you actually call them? Where did you find a number?
It would be really nice if we could muster up the political pressure to force them to be more responsible.
I'll sign the petition.
Someone else bought this up a few days ago. It is a win-win situation for both gents and ladies alike to apply pressure to advertising sites in scrutinizing those that advertise on their sites.
The reputation of an advertising site should be as impeccable as a ladies and so on down the line. I believe more hits will come to a site of that nature. Gents will be more comfortable in their choices. There shouldn't be a great headache in choosing a lady and lets be honest, it isn't nickels and dimes we are talking about here. For the ladies, in a business sense, it would make life easier on us dealing with gentlemen that are deservably cautious to a fault and less adds to compete with. Our business would rise and therefore would be more inclined to advertise with the advertising site more often.
Just my two cents!

You are absolutely correct. SouthCoast VIP has made it a top priority to make sure there are no fake photos or rip off girls/agencies on our site and it is paying off. Our hits have quadrupled in the last year, most of the quality ladies contact us to advertise, and the hobbyists know we can be trusted. Also, many of the ladies have told us they get a better quality client contacting them with fewer cancellations and/or no-shows. It takes a lot of time and energy to make sure the rip offs don't sneak on to our site, but it is worth it because we have been able to build and maintain a reputation as one of the most honest and trustworthy adult malls on the net. It's unfortunate that the big sites either don't get it or don't care. Sedagive.

...I'd hate to see what would happen if you *really* got going! ![]()
It's sounds like the best thing for all of the legitimate ladies to do is to leave the Eros site in favor of another site. Also every male and female who has had problems with Eros should post about these problems on as many different boards as possible. If Eros gains a reputation as a bad web site clients will not go there to look at advertisements and ladies will not want to spend money on ads that do not bring in business. This may sound naive but eventually that bad reputation will force them to clean up their act or go out of business.
Over these last two years, DC-Exotics has readily hosted every kind of fraud that would pay for advertising.
Eros seems now to have gotten into hosting fraud ads more and more this past year.
This is so annoying that I'm giving up sex and the hobby tomorrow morning, and buying a set of waterproof laminated centerfold pics and a case of Herbal Vitamin E lotion.
Also I'm going to Costco or Sams to get an 18 pack of paper towels. What else is an anaconda to do?
Right now in DC and other cities, this group of five or so fraudulent Miami agencies is baiting and switching day after day, but Eros is loving the ad revenues. Greedy pigs they are.
May they drown in copious quantities of goat sperm.
Please don't forget Cityscam, excuse me, Cityvibe.
When that scam with the stock pics was happening and I received some unwanted calls/e-mails, I e-mailed them to let them know what was happeing. They had already heard from many of you about the scam and had dropped this person's account. They were really upset that I received threats from this pimp and wrote me a very apologetic e-mail. I have not had any problems with them. Exotics I have. They refuse to offer a 30 day free trial like eros did. They want you to sign for more than a month. I get cold calls from them monthly! They are just too hungry for business. All those ads at the bottom of the page gets confusing.
