DocM Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) How lame! If you're going to spend half a Megabuck on strippers at least get real ones who can provide lap dances or a "massage." Silly rabbit FunkyMike 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xilo Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I could probably figure out the username of this guy... The high dollar tippers stand out like a sore thumb. I never understood them honestly. Why pay thousands of dollars for a webcam show when you could at least spend the same amount for an overnight escort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he felt that he wouldn't be caught doing the online transactions. I have no idea how the escort service would charge, but I'm sure it would be some anonymous name, not "Escort Service" but hen again wouldn't the online be fairly anonymous?

Vvo Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) If its through and escort agency, it'll cost at least 1k per hour or 5-10k per night. However, it's up to the escorts to decide on how much to charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 These services are obviously popular for a variety of reasons, from individual fetishes to being seen as more discrete than getting an actual escort. Still if you are going to commit fraud, and on that scale, may as well make it worth it. Could have had so much fun with all that money, I'm inclined to agree with Zag, underachiever of the year award right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
