Escort Website - Advise Please

[Lucy Walter]

Hi all,

 

I would be grateful for any advice about an adult website: beautifuladults.com. I have heard a number of complaints claiming this website is bogus and would like to advise the ladies (and gents) that have experienced problems how to take this matter further.

 

The ladies I spoke to most recently had the following problems:

 

Lady One paid a £200 joining fee and never heard from them again - no login details despite many calls and complaints.

 

Lady Two expressed an interest via the website. BA called her and told her that they had a job for her that Friday worth £300 BUT she would have to pay their £219 joining fee first. She duly did this and took the evening off work. Guess what.....no call. Again many calls to the agency regarding her work and her fee and no resolution. Promised call backs are never made.

 

 

OK so they shouldn't have paid the money in the first place but is it lost for good? If they have failed to provide any service to either lady could they be pursued through the small claims court?

 

The domain name beautifuladults.com is registered to Park Lane Services International (address hidden) who have their own website advertising as Claim Mediation Specialists.

 

I have called Park Lane Services International and have been told that one of their directors has a trading interest in beautifuladults.com. This means I now have a postal address and my first thought is to advise each girl to send a recorded delivery letter requesting a refund and threaten court action.

 

Any advice most gratefully received!

 

Thank you

Might be advisable to remove the website addresses - it might been seen as advertising, although when I saw the thread title, I thought it should have been in the DVLA section:p

[caro]

I think it might well be worth a preliminary request for repayment of the fees, giving them 14 days to comply. If they fail to comply then they should send a letter before action, informing them they have another 14 days or court action will be taken without further notification.

 

They must be prepared to take the action though, as the company may see it as hollow threats. I've a feeling they may not want to go to court though.

 

Is the address that you have for Beautifuladults or Park Lane International?

[Lucy Walter]

Hi Caro,

 

After some help I now have the hidden domain registration information for beautifuladults.com. It points back to Park Lane Services (though a different address than advertised on their Claim Mediation website plsi.co.uk).

 

Adults, Beautiful

Park Lane Services International

The Manor House

10 ST Margarets Green

Ipswich, IP4 2BS

United Kingdom

 

I will pass your advice on, thank you. It is entirely possible that this website operates on the basis that most people will not want to take further action. We will see....fingers crossed.

It might be that it'll be like a game of chicken. Who is least willing to go to court. Your friend would be able to submit a court claim by post, which may be enough to make them settle.

 

I think it's terrible that these leeches are willing to target people who in all likelihood are already desperate for money and can ill afford a relatively large amount. Keep us posted.

[Conniff]

A search of companies house brings up 'Park Lane Services International Ltd' who are a regulated finance company, their address is a London address, so is this the same company as 'Park Lane Services International' whose address is Ipswich,

I can find nothing that connects them except 'Mayfair Marketing' which is involved with lots of companies and is Canadian.

 

I have had a good scout around and this is a very complex set up. They have had numerous server changes and multiple I.P. changes. An ip change is not unusual in general, but it is unusual for a website to change it's ip address as that is what directs people to it.

 

I can find loose links to browser highjacker and porn sites, and because of the very complex nature of them, I am reluctant to go any further.

 

On the face of it, there appears to be more behind the sites front page than meets the eye. They will probably turn out to be a US or Canadian company as they are registered with 'bigdaddy' in the US, a very unpopular domain registrant.

 

I am sorry but I am reluctant to dig any deeper.

 

I think you should do as Caro advises and send something to the address you have demanding a refund with a hint that court proceedings will be issued if you get no satisfaction.

If you paid by credit card, then complain to your credit card company and they are obliged to refund it.

Letters have been sent to trading standards and the bank where she paid the money in.

Has any one actually ever got any money back from these people ?

If you paid by credit card or VISA debit card [not any other debit cards] then you can ask your bank to initiate a chargeback, and if it was for over £100 and paid by credit card, your bank is obligated to refund it to you.

 

If however you paid by bank transfer, deposited it into their account or by cheque, your bank has no liability to you.

 

If you have an address and know who's responsible you can if you want issue a court claim against them in your County Court, but from the sounds of them I doubt you'd get a penny back.

Sorry,

 

That should have read Toni, not Tony.

 

And please note,IMM2001 is not a legitimate company. It is also a [problem].

[EDIT] has registered 30 domains and Mr Muldoons "marketing company" Mayfair Marketing services, owns 70 domains!! A lot of these scams are all linked!

 

PLEASE HELP ME STOP THIS.

MadMary- Im a victim of this site and I am very angry and don't know what to do. Im 20 years old, clearly someone who needed the money, but has forked out £219 for nothing.

Ive emailed them and they gave a bunch of rubbish as a reply.

Tell me how you are doing this, because this is indirectly fraud and a [problem]. They say they have a client for you and take your money. They do this to everyone.

[legalpickle]

If you paid by credit card then your bank must do a chargeback.

 

If you paid by VISA debit card then your bank can do a chargeback.

 

If you paid by bank transfer, bank deposit or cheque, unfortunately you've lost the money.

Hello dipenamin,

 

This is not indirect fraud. This is absolute fraud.

 

First of all, you need to email the Met police at: [email protected] . Please do not email the police unless you have the details of the fraudsters bank account or telephone number and address.

The more people bombard the Met with these complaints, the sooner they will do something about them!

 

I can't say too much about what action I am taking, on this site.

But I will keep you informed.

I have been scammed to the tune of £5,000 by Muldoon. Any background data on him or his companies would be most welcome. Thanks.
