This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I applied for a job with Elegant Companions, this company is specializing on non sexual escort services. It looked like a good opportunity for me because I communicate with people easily. They’ve asked for a registration fee to be paid but once they’ve got my money I’ve never heard from them again.

I was excited to think given my situation I could earn some money to make things afloat so I signed up with elegant companions. I was told to pay £150 advertising fee. Before I was about to make the money transfer something said to check online to see if they were a ligit company so I did only to come across that it is a scam. Thank God I didn't put the money in first and that's all thanks to these comments.

I think i have been scammed too. I paid a £340 fee back in june and was told I would have something asap to replace that money. Then they kept saying they haven't received the mobey. It's now October and still nothing. I keep being told clients are away in Dubai or USA. Looks like I won't be getting my money back

Oh god! I've totally been scammed too! I paid £295 and £30 registration fee back in June. Again, I was promised my first booking which I was never handed the details for. Then immediately after the money was cleared 'Sally' at escort companions.net said she was going to see her daughter in Austrailia for a month! She gave me another contact called 'Jane', when I tried the number it came back as unrecognised. I have sent numerous emails to both 'Sally' and info@escortcompanions.net as well as calling her private number several times to no avail. The money has left my account and gone to a bank in Portugal. Please please te me who to contact as I want to support everyone else who has been conned by these rip off merchants. Lowest of the low.

Thank goodness for this page!
Here is the email I have recently received, I was going to pay them today, as my 'booking' is on Friday.
The woman I have been emailed by is called Bella. I signed up on the Elegant Companions website, and got told I had a 75% reach.
The car would pick me up at 8, and all I have to do is pay the £340 for a years worth of advertising and marketing and then go on my arrangement (which was £420, so I would be making that money back instantly)
The guy I was going on a date with is an Italian man, in his late 30's.
They're so pushy with this payment that this is when I started getting suspicious and came across this page.

A friend of mine tried to put up a comment about elegant companions not good they take monies but offer no work and when he tried to put up the comment was sent message along the lines we do not publish such comments and when he put up a nice one they put it up why is this.

The content was about non sex agencies which is what dates for hire and elegant companions are. By the way does anyone know of Emily@elegantescorts.net she claims her agency (though she says her company are not one) that her company are genuine but does not seem to be able to say how much if any is the registration fee and if so has anyone paid and got any work Or if no work and paid did they get a refund.

Any genuine non sex escort agency or whatever they call them selves who can offer genuine dates and work at reasonable earnings with or without travel expenses do let me know. email me first. Genuine ones do not ask for monies to join even for admin costs. They can earn through advertising for example advertising their business or whatever. And they can also make monies by sponsoring and other ways.

deb.stal@hotmail.com A reasonable earning is no more than £50/80 for casual smart or casual and £60/90 for glamorous. Anything over £100.00 an hour with without travel expenses seems to good to be true. People are more aware so the more reasonable the better. And yes there are those out there who are good but no one has come across because as soon as they call them they ask for monies which is why no one is being taken seriously. David and Jess and others are giving the industry a bad name. Even those who state they charge a fee for admin there is no guarantee they will find work let alone anyone who pays and does not get work get any refund.

I have looked at the comments but only good ones made are displayed for example if someone puts up good people will pay no registration fee then fine but any other comment like yes they are not good never part with monies then the comment does not go up why is this. someone recently put up elegant companions and dates for hire are good and people get paid so why put up such a comment when it is not true and yet elegant companions and dates for hire are crooks the comment does not go up this is not a genuine complains site for crooks but a site to praise crooks.

A friend has just paid £350 to get put on the books. She was told that she would be meeting someone called Alan At a certain place on SaturdaY. She paid the money into an account in Portugal. She requested a pic of the male and they said No Due to loyalty of the client
She has recieved a contract to sign and return. She has been in contact with a girl named Emily.. Does this sound like anyone else's?

Has anyone come across Laura with what sounded as either an Irish/amercian accent. She wanted £340 for the advertising and I paid it upfront via Azimo, into an account in Portugal. The company was for kingstone business solutions, after looking on line and coming across all the above comments I rung and notified my credit card company that I had paid and believed it was a fraudulent transaction for services I'm not going to receive. They will investigate and I will be refunded.

On checking the emails they have elegant-companions.com, /elegant escorts.net and go by several names.

Follow your instinct!

These companies are run by the same couple. There are no bookings, no clients on their books.there weapon is to sound too good to be true ie in a few months you will be filthy rich so to pay 295 is only a small investment.

Hi, i have reported them to the fraud squad and they want to hear from anybody that has been scammed to build u a case, , all my info has been passed onto the police. They never asked for id, which all companies do, they have finally stopped calling me, but in each voice mail it was slightly more agitated and each email too.The fraud squad man recognized the bank name overseas.
Still unavailable numbers when you call them back except for the office number, yer right, its not an office, im sure its a home number, dont do it, if it sounds too good to be true it is, ask urself why havnt they asked for id, why is the phone crackly most of the time, why cant i call them back on a mobile number which they call from as not recognized,

Hi all, im so glad my sister found this page, was also to that my photo had been circulated and i had good reviews, but i would need to pay 215.00 for 6 months or 350.00 for a year, all very polite people, but they always called from a withheld number and it was always crackly, .I was told that i had someone who wants to meet me on Saturday, so i had to transfer it quickly, and send her a photo of what i had done, Every time i phoned them a elderly man would say hello, in a gruff way, not even professional and they were never at their desks always they would hone me back, i spoke to a few ladies there all seemed very nice, They also wanted me to send the money to Portugal, i did, , but luckily, it was all the money i had in the bank and transferred it straight into my mums account, so they cant get it, now will call the bank tomorrow, They had many different emails, i was manly speaking to Lola her email was lola@escortcompanions.net, then the other alldifferent eg info@elegant-companions.com and one was from a peter james.,
I recieved an email saying thank you and would let me know when it had cleared, well tuff it wont luv as you wont get it

After having read the above, I wonder if it is true for in Australia as well?

Here is the website in Australia - http://www.plusonecompanions.com

I wonder if it is the same people? Are they scammers too?

I spoke to them today - Wednesday 25th March 2015 and they told me that you can buy packages starting from $219 Australian to advertise with them.

Bronze - $219
Silver - $299
Gold - $399
Platinum - $495

Does anyone know?

The phone number that they called me from is [protected] -- This is a Brisbane, Australia phone number.

Thanks.

I was also conned by this company. The recruitment/booking fee cost me £180 and I was guarenteed to get a date within 2 weeks to make my money back. I called their number and spoke to David numerous times and each time he told me to be patient, this went on for a few months before I realised what a scam it was. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY OR FOOL FOR THEIR TRICKS!

I stupidly paid £295 plus £25 bank transfer fee, I had already sent my photos and was told I was going to be promoted as escort of the month if I paid this money. Was told that I had a date lined up for Saturday night but lo and behold as avid rang me on Saturday to say that he was stuck in Leeds and couldn't make it that night, that's when I decided to investigate. I've e mailed Kristy for a refund but I bet I don't get one.

I have been contacted by 'Kristy' at dusktilldawn. Apparently someone really wants a date with me next week (she said this when I said I'm unavailable at the weekend! Typical). I have not paid the money as I knew it wasn't right when she said people have shown interest in my photos...but I haven't given them any photos!

My heart goes out to those who have been scammed by these rotten people. I will report it to Action Fraud, I really hope you all get your money back and I will give Kristy a piece of my mind on behalf of everyone! Xx

Unfortunately I have fallen for the same trick. I signed up and paid for Dusk Till Dawn, was put under immense pressure as "three clients were very interested but will only be in London for a short time" and as with many of you I have heard very little from the company since after chasing them up for two months I have asked for my money back and I am currently waiting to receive it. I will update you if I do.

I also applied to dusktilldawn.net, but fortunately I found this page before I gave them any money (thank you to everyone who posted on here!)

PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SCAMMED - If you haven't already, I urge you to make an official complaint here: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/
I can only report other victims with their permission and personal details, and as no money changed hands during their attempt on me the case will probably carry less weight.

What they're doing is absolutely despicable. They're exploiting young people who are most likely only considering working with them because they're hard up for money. The complaint only takes 20 minutes, let's stop anybody else being tricked by these heartless criminals and make sure they get what they deserve... and hopefully try to recover any of the money they've already taken.

Yes it's all a con and any one asking for a fee upfront don't do it. Your going for a job be it a self employed job you should at least meet with them at their office first or go for an interview so it's a scam. Don't pay any money you would have so much more satisfaction giving that money to charity to someone who needs it and not to some scammed who is out to rob people.

I have literally just signed up without even thinking of checking the back ground, instincts straight away told me something wasn't right and that is why I searched for more info and came across this page and I am SO glad that I did! Im still waiting for someone to contact me but when they do I will tell them exactly what I think!

Couldn't be happier to have come across this page!

Dusktilldawnescorts.net was set up on the 5th September 2014, i think this is the new site that will take over from Elegant companions by the same dodgy crooks. I originally applied to Elegant but was also contacted by Dusktilldawn, , after being very gullible for a couple days and believing every word they said i very nearly sent them the money, lookily for me I decided to look into it more, and found a few articles about the scam..
Im so sorry to hear so many people have parted with their money these crooks need to be stopped.

I contact this same company Elegant Companion
Yesterday I got a call back from this lady called Heather /heather@dusktilldawnescorts.net
Asking for me to send a few details name/age/pis so I sent them and today she called me back saying she sent my pics to a few costumers and had a good feed back, all good stuff u know😒 and then went on saying that I have to pay £295 right before I go on my first date so she can register me, found that really strange and another think I found strange was that she always calls me on private number and the connection is really bad.
I ddnt pay no money told her I dnt have IT she said she'll call me back

ladies and gents, i was scammed nearly a year ago now and im still trying to get my money back from that b***ard David Scott Mcleish, Karma will get him, Everyone NEEDS to report him to action fraud, i have just opened a case with them and if everyone else does too then maybe we can all get our money back or more importantly stop any other innocent people getting scammed ... go to www.actionfraud.police.uk to report it, enough people are being scammed for them to have to do something about it, so SPEAK OUT! David is probably enjoying cocktails by the pool whilst we all struggle to survive after the large lump of money that has been robbed from each one of us. if anyone wants to speak to me about it or share their thoughts email me on nicolahebson@hotmail.co.uk

I got robbed as well of £270 by the company anight2remember, They ask you to pay to Mckendric & Cohen in Ireland or Kingsland in Portugal to the bank of Spiritu Santo, this bank is almost bankrupt . I told the old alcoholic woman that I had a child and I was in a terrible situation at the moment, she seemed so sympathetic and caring..She reassured me that I was going to make vast amounts of money, not to worry. She told me that her name was collete@anight2remember.net. She goes by the name of Collete Manson. I think that they keep changing their names. I called the company so many times and David, he kept promising bookings for me that never realized, as well as a guy called Oliver telling me that the day after I'ad a booking which again was a pack of lies. I spoken to two girls working in the agency which they were very friendly and their promised me that it was a genuine company. They are a bunch of con artist and lying ###. Their account is :PT [protected] 4022 3 BESCPTPL. Phone number of the company: [protected]. Police fraud should be inform as well as the guys from transferWise not to work with them. BE AWARE THEY JUST WANT TO ROB PEOPLE, and they do not have any costumers. The only costumers are gullible people like myself, believed them and handing them over my cash.

I spoke to a woman called Kitty at anight2remember.net, she was dutch, sounds old and sounds as if she smoked 40 a day. She says she now has a booking for me for monday night, said the taxi will pick me up at 730, but she couldnt tell me the resturant the meal was going to be at, or where it was, and also that i needed to pay the 200 pound fee before i could login and see who the booking was with. I said i didnt want to pay 200 quid and never hear from anyone again, so she said she would try and send me more information and the bank details for the money and i could get back to here. Now i decide to look into the company and ive all your comments so pretty safe to say i wont be paying the 200 quid! What a bunch of ###s! really hoped it was legit tbh.
