conduct their business. Each agency has a way of managing their business and not all agencies operate the same. Being in my line of work, I don't like to set consequences, but consequences do deter unwanted actions. Every line of work have consequences and how each consequences is displayed, you just have to respect that.
Stealing is stealing, it doesn't matter if it's one dollar or one thousand dollars. You've stated, "I will pay you, I don't need to be threatened". Well, if you pay them, then why would they need to post your picture on their list? They actually had more names on their list but now only have three. Apparently something happened to the other girls and they resolved the matter. If those girls payed the agency, then they wouldn't be on the list.
I've personally seen one of the girls on their list before, both as independent and when she was working with "several" agencies. Word do spread, and like the other agencies have stated, she does steal, not just on one occasion, but several occasions.
It is apparent that you did not have a good experience working with an agency. However, you shouldn't generalize all agencies on how they choose to manage their business. I've been a client with Private Liaisons for a while now. I am also a client of many other agencies.
I can tell you that Private Liaisons do truly care about their clients and providers. I've been on the boards long enough to know this because of the feedback's from the providers and hobbyist themselves. Private Liaisons is reputable on how they manage their business. For example, I recalled several threads about Private Liaisons and they were quick to remedy the situation for the client and the provider. In other words, they will work with you so they can build your trust and reputation. Not all agencies are like this.
Another good agency was BF, they have excellent feedback from their girls and clients. Not all, but the majority of them. I've had ONE complaint in the past and were quick to resolve the matter with me in a professional way.
However, I've also been with other agencies that was just terrible to deal with. Not only from me, but because the feedback's from the majority also agreed with me. You've stated, "be outed over a measly $136". If you look at their list, the lowest amount was $500 and the highest amount was $2000.
Here is my advice Charlotte, do not make any generalizations about an agency and how they conduct their business unless you know first hand about who you are talking about. You've responded to PL and stated that it wasn't directed towards them but your original post certainly made it like you were talking about them. The title of your thread was "I would never, ever use an agency like that". That to me seems pretty clear of what agency your referring to.
I respect everyone's opinion. But you should also be aware of how you conduct yourself on the boards because a lot of guys see that and its a turn off. I looked at your pictures and you look so cute but your response is the opposite of cute. If you have to respond on a heated topic and you know that your response is somewhat negative, then I would recommend using an alias in the future.
2 advices:
1) Don't make generalizations of all agencies on how they conduct their business. Some agencies are actually really reputable.
2) Use an alias if you have to respond somewhat negatively because others may view as trashy.
