Posts: 84Scams and Fake ads. Eg MassageRepublic
This excellent report by a newbie is the type of report I had in mind when I recommended a new thread "Scams" Thanks again Poon.
Massage Republic. Examples of scams and genuine ads.
There are many fake ads and fake photos and "bait and switch" ads, but it is relatively easy to find genuine ads and weed out the fake ads.
Firstly, if there are no reviews or no questions answered by the ladies. Avoid.
Secondly, if the only good reviews are by men who have written no other reviews. Avoid (such reviews are likely to have been written by the lady or her agency).
Thirdly, some of the ads are ridiculous. Eg the photos will be of a hot busty blonde, but she will be described in the profile as a brunette with A-cup tits (or vice-versa).
As a few members of this site have mentioned, the genuine ads are most likely to have many reviews by men who have written several reviews of several ladies, plus the lady will have answered many of the questions posted by potential customers, or she has replied regularly to thank satisfied customers for their positive reviews (or replied to unsatisfied customers' negative reviews to call them liars, etc).
My only experience with MR was a couple of weeks ago. I contacted a hot looking "Romanian" largely because her apartment was near my residence. From memory, I negotiated her asking price from 1200 for one hour down to 1200 for two hours without much negotiation. When I arrived at her apartment, she didn't look much like her photos, plus she looked more Kyrgystani than Romanian. When I mentioned this, she showed me her Romanian passport and showed me some of the same clothes and fashion accessories in her apartment as in the photos.
I knew before arriving that a few of her photos had been taken by a professional photographer and photoshopped, but she still looked hot in her "natural" photos. In the flesh, she didn't look as hot as her natural photos (much larger build and slightly chubby face), so it was a combination of older photos and good lighting and angles.
I almost thought of leaving, as she was a 6 or 7 in looks, but since I was at her place and she was pleasant and not ugly, I decided to stay for the session. She was fine and a friendly, but her bedroom techniques were nothing to write home about.
Here's an example of genuine MR ad (although she says she is Mongolian, but looks Filipina to me).

And another genuine ad:

Here's a example of a couple of ads which I hope are genuine, as I'd like to try these ladies, but I have my doubts that they are genuine. Note the exact same description in both ads saying "It's a shame there are so many fake ads here. " etc. , plus the Russian "Dosug" website imprint on one of the photos of the pretty blonde. However, the pretty brunette is photographed in Dubai.
Blonde: https://massagerepublic.com/female-e...na-young-blond..
Brunette: https://massagerepublic.com/female-e...el-young-leila..
Here's an example of a probable genuine ad for a Pakistani lady (supposedly independent), but possibly a bait and switch depending on which lady is available at the time (600 per hour, or 1500 all night including anal).

So, I ask if any fellow ISG members would kindly spend their hard-earned money and test-drive these last three ads, then report back on the forum.

This (and a series of reports yesterday on ISG on Dubai AMPS) is why I recommended the new thread "Scams". Thanks PoonHound for starting the thread.

There's also the language trick when you call the girl. Most often you can guess if she's from the place she's pretending to be from. During one instance I asked a girl if she speaks Japanese (her ad said so), but she was not.
Be cautious and happy mongering.

While scams exist, I don't want to scare off new folks from enjoying the world in Dubai. I have been here around 2 years and broken a lot of rules in the initial days but things have always worked out Ok in Dubai.
The other good part is that most scams are for money, no one will physically hurt you.
Be aware of scams but also enjoy the wonderful things in this city.
This is not like other places in Middle East or Africa where serious trouble means you can really get hurt just for the entertainment.
