Hi, Anyone know Fedrick?

[josephga]

His price of 150.00 is reasonable. However he checked off scat as one of his specialty's & fetishes

Well, it IS a specialty and a Fetish, and both for only $150. Now thats a bargain.

[Scorpio]

He, along with Yvan, have been discussed before. The ads run in multiple cities at once as part of the Apollon21 scam. No one is actually visiting.

OK so Federick, is also Fred and Frederick and Yvan....................

All just Apollo 21 advertising on Rentboy.

By changing his name it is harder to track him down.

Yvan is actually a separate blond model. But yes, all the same scam

There is no way to contact him except by emailing through the site. And if he doesn't reply to emails, it's hard to understand how someone can be scammed. Not to mention that whoever is doing this is paying for (multiple) RB ads.

I pursued one of these ads when I first started hiring five or six years ago. The 'escort' (though the email read like an auto-response) asks you to join the site, which requires payment of a fee or perhaps just giving credit card info. Either way, I would go no further.

[bobchitown]

Oh, that scam. I've also gotten that "pay to join my site " response once or twice and I also just move on.

Others have mentioned in the past that they have received email responses from the ad. I had never tried but in response to your question, I did try. It took 5 days to receive the following response:

 

contact@apollon21.com

 

Hey xxxx,

Thanks for checking my Ad on RentBoy.

My pictures and rates are on Apollon21.com

Look forward hearing from you

 

So yes they do respond and the scam is the initiation fee that make to "schedule" an appointment. The Apollon21 scam has been discussed extensively.

[Steven_Draker]

Scorpio is correct and digging a little further ...

 

Once you have established contact, Apollon21 will save your email address and will bombard you periodically with newsletters and invitations to try one of the "new kids on the block".

 

Here below is Apollon21's latest "Newsletter" as of August 2nd ...

it's hard to understand how someone can be scammed.

 

NewAtThis,

the scam consists of asking for a (small) deposit for the session using a credit card.

 

For example, if you try to book "Adriano", the latest 'recruit' as advertised in the August 2nd newsletter, you'll get the following message:

 

Thanks *****,

In order to process your reservation of Adriano for 1 hour (250 USD),

we ask you to make a deposit of 75 USD.

The balance of 175 USD will be collected by Adriano at meeting.

 

Your deposit is refundable until everything is confirmed.

As soon as we receive it, we'll contact Adriano and ask him to call you to setup all the details.

 

To make the 75 USD deposit with your credit card: Click Here

 

 

BUYER BEWARE !

The sad part is that there must be a lot of folks who fall for this scam and are afraid to report it to authorities... hence they keep on and some one is making a lot of money off the community. Thanks for this additional post. Thankfully, I have never been tempted to respond to the pay now, pay more later approach. Thanks Steven for this additional post.
