Escorts receiving threatening text messages.

Maybe this is old news, I don’t know so sorry if I’m brining up previously covered material here but Escorts are receiving threatening texts recently. I visited one of my regulars in the last couple of weeks, and was shown a text, supposingly from the Gardai, stating that her activities as an escort are known to the Gardai and to contact same at xxxxxxxxxx. Yeah right, as if she would. She dialled the number given, in my presence, and a Garda station answered. Now this girl is a longstanding experienced Escort and just laughed it off, but today another of my favourites had received the same sort of text. This girl is not as experienced and understandably got a fright. I have seen both texts and the English is not native (i.e. ‘if you do no stop this’). This girl is currently working close to Athlone. Is there a connection here to another thread that comes to mind? If so it is not fair that a sweet girl should be subject to such intimidation.

Sounds like more of the same terrible crap again. Could be any number of things there, from just some wanker pulling a wind-up, or thinly veiled threats and intimidation by pimps. Doesn't necessarily sound like there would be any kind of direct Garda involvment there, but considering the implications of what's been said to have possibly gone on in Athlone, whos to say for sure?

My first guess based on what you've described is that it would just be a pimp trying to get girls to leave by making them think that the Gardai are going to come after them, or perhaps even to trick them into making themselves known to the Gardai, as the message instructed the ladies in question to ring the local station. I assume this has been happening in Cork, yes?

Actually, no not in cork. I do a lot of up-country. One received the text while in dublin. She tours mainly Dublin & Limerick. Second usually in Dublin but was half an hour from Athlone when she received it. Dont want to give either IDs because I dont have their permission. But I agree its defo a hoax. The fact that the english was not too good would suggest a foreign author. This certainly rules out cops but how about pimps. Do we have foreign pimps working here. Or might it be a union of foreign girls having set up their own racket.

Unfortunately escorts do frequently receive threatening texts. It very easy for anyone to buy a pay-as-you-go phone and text threaten escorts. Or they can even sent online SMS messages for free. This type of intimidation is popular with sad cases who either have a motive for wanting to scare escorts or are just twisted people who get off on this. Problems like this make me wonder if maybe it would be better if people did have to show ID when buying a SIM card, or they were somehow less open to abuse.
