LMP Forums

I am an arse!  Normally I only spend my hard earned at LMP.  But the break was just too long.  Was tempted away, and paid the price.  Blew my fun budget for this month.

Read on…

Came across an impressive looking profile on AW - http://www.adultwork.com/659052.

Email exchange followed.  Then “she” directs me to http://www.executiveencounters.synthasite.com “who take my bookings”.  Should have smelled a rat at this point.  Still, I pressed on…

Called them.  Pleasant chat.  Directed to a meet in a hotel bar with the agency owner.  Was warned that he might be chatting with another client when I arrived so I should hold back.  (Nice touch for added authenticity).

Did as I was told.  Lo and behold, it was sleazy Bobby, ex of Gentlemens Relish Parties - the one with the dodgy dentistry!  Still, a familiar face…

He recognised me, and we chatted for ten minutes - apparently the girl had just arrived, and needed ten minutes to get ready.  No problem for me.

We talked about Gentlemens Relish and the party scene now - Lady Marmalade, Sacred Rose and so on.  He certainly knew his stuff - even how sorry he was that Moss had been off sick for a while.  At this point I’m relaxing…

Then he tells me about his own site, and the parties they will be doing at the end of January.  Low ratios, luxurious dressing gowns, decent food, “Much better than any of the rivals” - the whole bit.

And then - the sucker punch…

He checks his phone.  “She’s ready.  And we pay in advance, down here.  That way, everything is legal and above board...” And I bought it.  Doh!  Ordinarily, I’m a cynical so-and-so, and there’s no way I’d have gone for it.  But I knew this guy, and the scam was very, very polished.

So I hand over the cash - £100 for a promised 30 minutes.  And he keeps going - she’s new, so be polite… I’ll be down here and you can give me feedback afterwards over a beer… You gotta hand it to the guy - he was good.

He gave me the room number.  Half way up I began to realise how dodgy it all looked.  I knocked at the door.  A female voice asked me who was there - my faith was temporarily restored.  I gave my name.  “I think you may have the wrong room...” The saving grace in all of this was that whoever was in the room didn’t actually open the door.

Yes, I went back to the bar immediately.  No, he wasn’t there.  No, he didn’t answer the phone.  Yes I felt like an arse.

So please be nice to me in February.

You ain’t kidding, Footballer.

There’s a lot to be said for trust.  I think the fact that Moss and Em are SO trustworthy and above board, it sort of spoils us.  Don’t think I’ll be straying again!

Biesse, Sorry to hear what happened to you. If it is any consolation I read a while ago, on another forum ,someone being taken by the same person in the same way.

Normally, we have a policy of removing names of other ‘organisations’ as we don’t want the forum to be used to run down others. However, in this instance, this is not a rival but a simple scam and discredits us all so I feel it should remain unaltered as a warning to others.

Don’t beat yourself up. I think many of us have been victims of a con man at some stage and it is only when we look back we wonder how we fell for it. I know I have. 

We look forward to welcoming you to a party very soon. As you said, no matter what others may claim, at LMP we will never promise anything we don’t intend to deliver.

Moss

I liked that programme was one of my favourites...and you don;t know what you are missing BG you should watch it.

FB I think you are more Cliff than Norm

xx

110% serious!!

big brother with mini me and Letoya Jackson and get me out of here I USE TO BE celeb once upon a time....come on xx

I actually caught a bit of that at a friends earlier - and its like - who are these sad sacks - and do they know the meaning of the word dignity?
As Norm would have it - pass the beer nuts......

Can I be Frazier? - at least he gets his own series.......

Just two days away from the thread and descends into farce?!  (I vote for Frasier, any day...)

Thanks Moss for your words of support.  I’ll survive - behaving myself for one month won’t kill me.  I was just enraged at having been caught out like that.  And I also felt a bit of pity - this guy sort of invented the party scene and threw some half decent parties, and now he’s reduced to that.

Thanks for keeping the thread up.  Hopefully it’ll save someone else some hard-earned.

See you in Feb!
