What is Escourt service? Is that like prostitution? Isn't that illegal?

Escort agencies in theory exist to supply attractive and well-mannered escorts. The escort is sent to an address (house or hotel).\n\nIn other cases, so-called "escort agencies" are booking agencies for prostitution. The reason for making the distinction is a legal one; since prostitution laws often forbid taking payment for sex, the escort seeks to avoid this by having the client pay for his or her company and then claiming that any sex which happens was simply a spontaneous reaction to a client they happened to find attractive - a relationship which would legally be no different from a secretary who sleeps with her boss.\n\nThis means that, at least in theory, a client may pay for an escort who will then refuse him sex because she or he finds the client unattractive. Advertisements for escort agencies often skirt this legal line, seeking to establish the legal position whilst simultaneously implying to clients that they are not especially choosy in their preferences.\n\nEscort agencies are very aware of the legal issues behind the services they offer. Agencies claiming to be legitimate generally operate like customer service businesses, taking great care not to intimidate a new customer, who may feel apprehensive about using the service.

Sadly, the practice you describe is legal in England but was banned in Scotland some consioderable time ago.  The High Court decided it was extortion.  \n\nI agree that this is worth an insurance claim.  It may also be worth a call to the local paper...

I have the same question.  I received something from them asking to "be of service".  It sounds like a money laundering scheme.  I have not been able to find anything on them.  It sounds too good to be true! The person that send it to me was named Art but in everything else is the same.

As long as you are not doing anything sexual, or if you are over 18 (in some states, 21) and doing something sexual, and as long as everyone filmed is engaged in consensual activity, and as long as you're not using barnyard animals or anything beyond the pale (scat, rape, etc.), it's legal.\n\nProstitution requires you to have physical contact with another person, or at least to talk about having physical contact with someone else, so it isn't prostitution.\n\nIt may be considered obscene, but again, as long as you stay away from the real hardcore stuff, you should be fine.\n\nSeveral court cases have ruled that the act of filming sexual activity makes it artisic expression, protected by the First Amendment.\n\nWhat you describe is very common on Yahoo! Messenger: Buy me something or pay me via PayPal and get a show.\n\nThat said, technically, PayPal bans the use of its services for adult-related activities. So, you may find someone who complains about your shows to PayPal [most likely, a dissatisfied customer] and, as a result, your account gets cancelled. \n\nPeople may also go to Amazon.com and complain about your shows, but I would imagine Amazon.com's attitude would be "you bought it, your problem."

Prostitution is ILLEGAL in Singapore. I think they don't really care if it happens in the common Red light districts("a necessary evil").\nPlease read the Women's charter.(http://statutes.agc.gov.sg/non_version/cgi-bin/cgi_getdata.pl?actno=1997-REVED-353&doctitle=WOMEN%92S%20CHARTER%0A&date=latest&method=part&segid=888375053-002442#888375053-002442)

The police can charge you with whatever they want.\n\nAnd, you can sue whomever for whatever you want.\n\nThe court will decide the issue, so it is up to the court whether there is a valid complaint.\n\nYahoo answers is not a court, so asking on Yahoo answers about the outcome of a trial is pointless.

Say no.  Thats illegal.  This lady should be stopped.  You can't let someone pay you for sex.  I would tell the police and your parents as soon as possible.

I believe gambling is illegal in most states.  If it is, you have no rights to sue in court for an illegal activity and may subject you and all who participated for charges.  You will have a lot of angry people at you.

Next time make an appointment, that's why the other person beat you... this is not concerning to legal or illegal issues, this is concerning about how to take advantage of specific services.  Or do what I always do.. go to 10 minutes before they close, then you only have to wait 30 minutes.. always works!!

They're not illegal, but they are a scam.\n\nBasically they make you sign up to buy a good or service from one of their sponsors, and get other people to do the same.  Those sponsors pay the company a portion of the money they get from you, and that is how you get the 'free' stuff.

It's def legal.  The store that you are sent to subscribes to the mystery shopping service.  It's a tool they use to make sure that their employees are doing the right things.  That's why they make you write a paragraph of detailed experiences or do a survey.  It is kind of wierd, but for everything you do or purchase you are reimbursed for.  If you want to make sure the company is legit, I'd visit the Better Business Bureau's website.
