MARKUS AKA TREVOR AKA DARREN AKA BRANDON #3 AKA MIKE- NEW YORK

[Lewis H]

Seems like he's at it again, this time calling himself John. I noticed this ad, too hot yet somewhat familiar:

Using an html technique from my work as a web designer, I hacked into his profile and found , lo and behold, lots of pictures from Marcus/Trevor/Darren's initial foray into bilking clients.

I tried to review all the pics and they were fairly consistent, save for the tatoo on the man's right shoulder, but two shots showed the exact same shot with the tat on

and then photoshopped off.

Now, here's an interesting thing. He uses a lot of shots of fitness model Rusty Joiner from the International Male catalog. I've never been taken advantage of by Marcus aka etc, so I don't know what he looks like, but I started studying his lips to see if this was indeed Rusty Joiner. In a recent article in Metro magazine, Joiner was the cover model and talked about how, despite being a cover model for Men's Fitness magazine, a national monthly, he makes only a paltry $350 per cover. If I was as successfula fitness model as he seems to be and that's all I made for a cover, I'd escort too!

 

Compare Rusty joiner's lower half of his face with Marcus' and see if you see any similarity. And with the bodies too - ab positioning, nipple position, etc. Take into account varying weght, but it looks kinda like him to me:

And Marcus/Trevor

Now, I'm not saying Joiner is Marcus. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But I am seeing a lot of Joiner's pics being used by the ad that has Marcus' old pics in its profile, so beware - he may be using this as bait and switch, since the similarities are there and you may never be able to tell the difference in person. Only people who've actually been bilked by this scam artist would know, so if you can contribute to this thread and confirm or deny, that would be helpful.

 

I'm posting this because I've wanted to hire Marcus many times in the past when he posted new photos and ads, and I didn't know it was him. This site has helped me escape being victimized because i would always look for a review or thread first, to see if any one else had tried them out. I see this as returning the favor.

I'm confused.

Bottom line ---- does Rusty Joiner escort?

IMHO..There is a possibility we can add the name "KEN" into the mix on this guy. Ken/NYC.. 2 Bad M4M Reviews. His Jock Photo, same Angle Torso Shot.. has been on Rentboy/NYC for quite awhile..The old "Comment Board" on Rentboy, one guy would go on and on about Scam "Artiste" KEN. Everybody called him crazy..Maybe he wasn't "THAT" Insane after all! LOL :+

Well, if Joiner does, and he's the same guy, then the answer would be "Yes, but terribly."

I dont recognize the conman.com pic but the other two really look like the Marcus/Trevor/Alex guy. Met him about a year ago...looks like they could be his pics but from a few years ago...very shady and its all over in 15 minutes...was sharing a room with his friend who was there when I got there and came back before I left . Sad thing is Ive had that same experience with about 3 other well reviewed

 

anyway, as a rule I stay away from someone who I dont know or havent read about, or who has only professional photos of themself, since they could be from years ago

>I can tell you for a fact that Darren is not Rusty Joiner.

>Darren's real last name is ******** (and his real first name,

>if I remember correctly, is ****).

 

Thanks - this is exactly what we need. In any case, it seems he's resorted to using shots of Rusty Joiner for his profile, at least in the past. I take it you know that guy?
