Yeah so im stupid!!! Im 21 just moved out of my parents house and im struggling so bad i dont have a very good job and most months i cant afford food. So desperate for a bit of extra money i joined delightful stars. they seemed so real i joined and the comapny were constantly calling me wanting pictures and a profile. I did it stupidly they wanted £265 to advertise me on there website i was very unsure but they assured me that they would only take my money once i had a booking. So i get a phone call josh 25 from the united states wants to take me to a wine bar and clubbing for £550 a hired car from the agency would pick me up and take me home free of charge WOW i thought £550 to go clubbing its a dream come true Food shopping here i come i thought!!! so i paid my fee of £265. The morning of the booking which was tonight i wake up to see i have a missed call. All excited i thought to myself that must be the driver ringing me wanting my adress for tonight to pick me up. I had a answer phone message. JOSH had cancelled because someone in his family had died early hours of the morning he had to go back to the USA. But they would find me another booking. It hit me straight away i have been ripped off. i panicked rang the agency the woman i deal with was not in. so i kicked right of at receptionist i she tried filling me with bull. I have been ripped off and i know it i wont get called with another booking EVER. I even got my best friend to ring up and pretend he wanted to book a girl. HE HAS TO ARRANGE TO PICK HER UP thought the agency had hired cars to take you to your booking ????????? Im the only girl in that area that he asked for guess what i have not had a phone call offering me the job and guess what he didnt get a call back to say they had found him someone. Im so so so so so so so upset im only 21 living on my own and now have 60p to last me 4 weeks im not mtrying to make people feel sorry for me but im desperste for help. Is there anyway i can get my money back. has anyone ever had a real booking with this company ??? or has anyone had this done to them and somehow got refunded. PLEASE help my email is [pinkplaygirl001@hotmail.co.uk] (link: mailto:pinkplaygirl001@hotmail.co.uk) :c

[26/09/2009] nikki: I think you have been ripped off hun, like the rest of us as none of us has had a real booking. I have also just phoned up to book my husband and tehy told me to email the details of the booking which I have just sent so we are awaiting for a call as we know he is available.
[27/09/2009] sandie: Hi there,
Guess what?! I had Josh from USA for my booking too - got cancelled because he had to return the USA due to a death in the family!!! Were you told he was over here writing a 'travel brochure'? Was it Sally who dealt with you? I too was left with NO money as well and have had to borrow some from my sister to get gas, elec and food! Lucky she had it to give to me!!! Look on www.SW5.info and see all the others that have been scammed on different sites too! I've compiled a list of them all now (look how long it is!!!!!):

2's company? (possibly a scam)
There are some addresses that people have found out on SW5.info site. Whether these are real addresses, remains to be discovered.
I've put this list and our situation up on a couple of Complaints Sites and am contacting Google to tell them about it and see if they get removed! I think we all have to suck up the loss and move on - we won't get our money back - it'll be like knocking our heads against a brick wall! But at least we can let others know about it and hopefully stop more people getting scammed! They are SOOOO unbelievably convincing aren't they? Buggers!!
[27/09/2009] Nikki: Hi guys I phoned them and tried a fake booking for my partner and they wanted a booking fee of £50 but I asked them to phone him to see if he was available first and they did, they then rangme to say he could do it as I said I wanted him that nite, I then said I couldn't do it after all and they said fine if I need him again just call they didn't take any money and they rang him straight back to cancel it they also told him exactly what I said I was very surprise as his first booking was cancelled the morning of it and we have been complaining too. But hey maybe they are not a con after all if they were would they have phoned my partner with my booking! We are going to give them the benefit of the doubt now due to yesterdays events. Just thought you guys should know
[27/09/2009] steve: nikki, they knew that the phone call must have been linked, they are very very clever, do not be fooled anymore!that is insulting my intelligence and they will be sought!
[30/09/2009] sandie: hi nikki, steve,
I got a feeling they may con from the other side as well tho - so be careful! It wouldnt surprise me if they took money off the client and conned them too, by cancelling on them aswell!!
[30/09/2009] nikki: they trade as graceful partners to I just phoned their number and Ellie answered the phone then I passed to a ladt called Tina. I have now passed all theie details to the police who are looking into it to see if we can take it further.
