The normal agency rate is about $260-280/hr, for independents it's all over the place. This one has a lot of strange stuff going on from the art money laundering to the exclusively foreign reviews, the biggest red flag to me though is she goes from $300/hh to $900/6 hrs. That is very unusual.

I think it's pretty deceptive. Those professional photoshoot pics are the worst because they are always heavily touched up, I always pass if there aren't any normal pics. That's just how advertising works though, something that looks better will get more attention even if it's not fully accurate. Tattoos are the biggest problem imo, blurring them is a reasonable middle ground that allows for privacy to be maintained while still being representative, but instead the norm seems to be completely removing any trace even if it's like a full sleeve on their arm or all over their chest. Personally I'm not a fan of that and would like to know that before booking.

It's not like you need to wait in the lobby just (slowly) head up to a random floor and walk until you get the room number. Or take the stairs you probably won't have many people in there. I agree it's awkward but you can make it work. I'd rather do that then the more common verification methods, a pic of the elevator isn't going to compromise your personal security.

That seems like pretty slim odds...you sure it was another provider? I guess it doesn't really matter now good thing you checked.

She didn't ask me for a deposit when I saw her.

I saw her last time she was here, would recommend.

Those reviews over text are always a big red flag to me. It shouldn't be too much to ask for those to be posted somewhere publicly where they can be verified. Check the reflection too, those hands don't look like the ones in the other pics if you ask me.

I strongly disagree with this. I regularly see legit girls on X repost leolist tier scams, get into conversations with those spam reply OF bots etc. It took me 30 seconds to find this example, the well known pornstar Autumn Falls who was just retweeted onto my feed from a high end provider who visited Halifax earlier this year (they follow each other too): https://x.com/Bookfallsx Note the 1400 followers, compared to the 1 million+ for her legit account: https://x.com/autumnxfallsx As far as I can tell this particular pornstar has never offered any kind of service, and I seriously doubt an active pornstar would only charge $700/hr. Website has several inconsistencies if you look closely but at a quick glance is similar to any other legit provider. This one is easy to pick out because the scammer didn't even bother to change the name of the girl from the pics they stole, and they picked a pretty public figure. I'm sure there are many others that aren't so easy to pick out.

You are right however they always put incall/outcall under the availability section and explicitly state they are looking for content partners so I get why people are confused. It's very deceptive because there is the option to list online only and they choose not to. I've even seen some legit providers from elsewhere in the country do this, then of course they proceed to complain that people are asking for meet ups on their OF.

I've noticed this as well. It's always girls with extremely high rates, given that NS has a relatively poor population (and high hotel costs) it's going to be harder for them to have a successful trip here than elsewhere. Once they announce the tour and get too few pre-bookings they decide not to bother which is reasonable. As to whether or not it's a scam a lot of them clearly state that the deposits are "non-refundable". If that's true I guess you either have to hope they eventually end up coming or travel yourself to meet them? Or maybe they wave that for tours? If it's the former I would call that a scam.

The reasonable thing for them to do would be to either offer better service or charge less if someone else comes along and they want to stay competitive. Instead we get this childish nonsense, no wonder the scene in Halifax is so weak.

I saw her last time she was here, very reasonable rates and great service. Glad she came back because I know she had a lot of issues last time with fake bookings.

Bingo. Pretty reckless on their part given that discussing irl meetups on OF is against the TOS. They are basically baiting people into asking for just that with these deceptive ads.

I don't know where you are coming from or how often you travel elsewhere but the scene in Halifax is pretty rough these days between the lack of agencies/MPs and extremely high housing/hotel prices. If you are from a similar size city or have other trips coming up and have a limited budget you might want to consider saving your money. Most of the independents have sporadic short notice availability, and there aren't many that fit the groups you are looking for. You're better off waiting until you are here and then see who is working, then cross reference with the recommendation section. For petite (white) women my favorites are Alexis (9908) and Jade (4369) but as I mentioned, available very sporadically. Asians are literally all bait and switch scams don't even bother clicking the ad.

I think you can look in any city in the country and see that exact ad word for word. Extremely blatant scam.

If every potential client stopped seeing these types for a few weeks they would disappear forever. That applies to deposit scams too, guess what would happen if everyone refused to send money in advance under any circumstance? No more scams because it costs money to advertise and nobody is going to pay to run scams with no return. Unfortunately the number of people even aware of this forum is a small minority, and a lot of people have low standards and will accept the person at the door looking nothing like the pics advertised, being several decades older etc. Sucks that this kind of dishonesty is tolerated but that's just the way it is I guess.

The ad text says "yellow hair" which certainly doesn't match the pics so this is def a bait and switch. This one also wasn't at the usual locations and was a thumbs down, might be the same girl/group:

For future reference I'm pretty sure there's an agency from Montreal that's uses the higher end downtown hotels. It's still the same old auntie bait and switch crap as the others so don't be fooled if it's not one of the usual locations.

Stella French from YFL was fantastic. Don't know if/when she will be back but she has visited a few times before.

The false advertising really is obnoxious. There have been so many times where I see a girl advertising as mid 20s on a forum account made in 2010. Always do your research it can save you a trip.

The one sided legality and normalization of sending money in advance has created a feeding frenzy for scammers. It's very low risk to run deposit scams which is why people doing these IRL ones always surprise me. Only a matter of time before they fuck with the wrong person. I guess these people are complete morons though I mean in this case they had it all set up but thankfully couldn't even bother to show up on time.

Name and number match with mixed reviews on the other forums.

GFE and PSE have become completely arbitrary terms at this point. If you care about a specific service you'll need to ask rather than assume they are using the same definition as you. Fortunately in this case she makes it very clear in the ad.

Multiple cities, 47 pounds, ad text was clearly run through google translate, Oklahoma area code. 100% fake.

Alexis, her ad isn't up now but she works in Halifax or New Glascow fairly often.
