Story on "Male Treasures"?

[JamesK840]

Noticed a couple links to listing on there recently...

Just looked around a bit, seems a bit fishy, but can't put my finger on why.

 

I notice searching LA turns up BN, Steven Draker and many others who aren't here now and only visit occasionally, but many of these sites have sucky systems for handling visiting escort listings...

I really don't get the point of specifying LA if I'm going to get hotties from Virginia and Spain mixed in though. The whole geography thing seems to be their weak spot, they've got Louisiana and several other gems under 'west coast'.

 

There are a couple cuties...

Though I'm not sure how legit the ads are, and direct links sometimes don't work (why would an escort put up with that?), plus they have (worthless) "reviews"... but only one pic each and no external links.

 

Then there's somebody paying to be a 'premium listing' using Brent Everett's photo...

Yeah, that's still a puzzle. Jaden, or Aaron Jaden, is a genuine escort in L.A. Shorter and blonder than Brent Everett. He has quite a few other pictures of himself on various escort sites, but continues to use this one that is not himself. Can't figure out why.

Re: Male Treasures

 

Male Treasures is the sister site of EME (Executive Male Escorts) http://www.executivemaleescorts.com

I've been advertising on both sites for a while. Actually, this is my second year with a premium listing and my ad is legit.

BTW external links are allowed only for premium listings.

Well, I checked out escorts in my location (Utah). Most are not local guys but those willing to travel. x(

 

Of the two locals listed there were other red flags. "Mormonboy" is one of those Nationwide guys where you have to pay in advance through a rip-off agency. (There are several active threads on this scam.)

 

Jon is listed but he retired 2 years ago and moved out-of-state. Yet they are listing him as an active escort. To contact him you have to send an e-mail through them.

 

To me listing non-local escorts, scam escorts, and retired guys is deceptive advertising and similar to the "bait and switch" technique. While some ads may be legit, there are enough red flags that I won't use this agency.

Well, first they're not an agency, they're an escort listing site which makes money from people who pay to view their XXX pics. As Steven noted, Male Treasures is a sister site of Executive Male Escorts, and I'm glad Steven has had a good experience with them. However, I've found that Male Treasures: (a) is a reshuffled and re-packaged deck from the EME listings, (b) shows escorts in cities where they don't work, © contains listings for escorts that long ago retired, and (d) steals pics off the net and portrays them as escorts. As to the latter, it's not a matter of a Nationwide/Cupcake up front deposit scam, but just a matter getting you to pay to join the site and view the XXX pics.
