Red flag no. 1: prices that are too low
If an escort offers all services for a very low price, such as €120 per hour, and the profile picture is overly revealing, it is likely a trap. These low prices are unrealistic and should raise suspicion.
Escorts who know their value won’t offer cheap rates. Low prices can mean the quality is bad or that it’s a scam. Scammers use low prices to get more people interested and to entice you to pay upfront and then disappear without providing any services.
They usually prefer payment methods that make it hard for you to get your money back, such as prepaid tickets, Bitcoin, or PayPal.
A legitimate escort will typically accept cash in person, as this is the most straightforward and secure way for both parties to conduct a transaction.
Another common scam involves prepaid tickets. The scammer will ask you to buy a ticket at a store and send them a picture of it. Even if you think you are being careful by hiding some of the numbers, these scammers are often able to guess the rest and take the money anyway. Once they have the code, they can immediately withdraw the funds, and there is no way for you to get it back.
This type of scam is particularly insidious because it preys on the victim’s trust and willingness to cooperate. For your safety, it is best to avoid any kind of prepayment, especially if it is not a widely accepted or standard payment method.
Remember that real escorts operate professionally and are clear about their terms. They do not ask for unusual forms of payment, and they certainly do not pressure you into making payments before meeting.
Scammers, on the other hand, are eager to get your money as quickly as possible and often resort to various tactics to ensure you pay upfront.
They may use emotional manipulation or create a false sense of urgency to pressure you into making a hasty decision. Always take your time to verify the legitimacy of the person you are dealing with.

Red flag no. 2: suspicious photos
Be cautious with profile photos that seem too good to be true. If the pictures are overly revealing, look like they were taken from a 90s magazine, or don’t match the profile description, it’s likely a scam. Genuine escorts tend to protect their privacy and use realistic, up-to-date images. Scammers often use fancy or stolen photos to attract clients, and they might send a different person at the last moment, hoping you won’t cancel.
If the photos appear too polished, have heavy editing, or look like professional model shots, these are all red flags. Real photos may not look as perfect, and might have natural lighting, candid poses, or even slight imperfections—all signs that the person is authentic. Scammers typically use images that are highly edited or airbrushed, aiming to create an illusion of perfection.
Always compare the photos with the profile details. Look for consistency in age, body type, hair color, and any specific identifying features like tattoos or piercings. If the profile says the person is 25 years old but the photos look much older, that’s a warning sign. Additionally, reverse image searches can be very helpful in spotting stolen images. By right-clicking on an image and selecting “Search image with Google,” you might find that the photo actually belongs to a model or celebrity, rather than an escort. This step works particularly well for identifying fake profiles, especially those of Asian or Eastern European origin, which are often fabricated using stock or magazine photos.
You can also check if the person’s photos are up-to-date by comparing them with any recent social media images or WhatsApp profile pictures if you have their contact information. Sometimes scammers will use older, glamorous pictures, but their actual current appearance might be quite different. This can be a major clue that something is off. If the photos don’t match the person you’re chatting with, it’s best to stop communicating immediately.
Remember that scammers often rely on bait-and-switch tactics. They use attractive photos to lure you in, but when the time comes to meet, they send a different individual, hoping that you’ll feel pressured to proceed anyway. It’s always important to verify authenticity before making any commitments. Consider asking for a recent, casual photo or even a short video call to confirm that the person matches their profile images. These small steps can help you avoid scams and ensure your safety.
Red flag no. 3: suspicious phone numbers
Be cautious with phone numbers that seem unusual or inconsistent. Ideally, the number should be from Austria, as this matches the location of the service and helps ensure credibility. A local number suggests that the person is genuinely operating in the area and is more likely to be legitimate.
While some escorts may use numbers from their home country, it should make sense—for example, a Ukrainian escort having a Romanian number could be a red flag. U.S. numbers (+1) are also suspicious, as they are rarely used in this context.
Watch out for numbers that frequently change, as this could indicate that the person is trying to avoid detection or is using multiple fake profiles.
For example, scammers might change their number to avoid negative reviews or being flagged by authorities, which is a common tactic used to maintain anonymity and evade accountability. A genuine escort typically has a stable phone number.
Additionally, if you notice that multiple escorts are using the same phone number, it’s likely an agency rather than an independent escort.
This can be problematic because agencies often lack transparency, and the person you meet might not be the one in the ad.
Independent escorts generally offer a more personalized experience and greater reliability, whereas agencies may rotate their escorts or use misleading photos.
To verify authenticity, check if they have their own website and look for professional contact details. A legitimate agency should have a well-presented website with clear information.
If you find multiple listings with the same number, it’s best to avoid them, especially if you are specifically looking for an independent escort.

Red flag no. 4: the escort girl does it all
If the escort says they do “everything,” it’s usually not true. Real escorts have limits, and they don’t offer every service. Be careful of someone who agrees to anything without thinking about it.
Real escorts will have a list of services they offer and things they won’t do. If someone says yes to everything, it’s likely a trick to get you to pay first, and then they’ll either disappear or not do what they promised.
Red flag no. 5: strange incall locations
If the person offers an incall service at a place that isn’t a studio, brothel, or club, it’s probably illegal apartment prostitution. This can be dangerous because it might involve human trafficking or other safety risks.
It’s best to stay away from these places. But if the escort is working in another city, from a hotel, that’s a bit safer, even though it might still be against the rules. Make sure you know as much as possible about where you are going. A real incall service should be in a safe place, not in an unknown apartment.
Did you know that it is illegal in Vienna and many other cities in Austria to provide escort services in private apartments? Police authorities often conduct raids and catch the girls and their guests red-handed. Read more about the legal environment here:
