Safety guide for advertisers — practical rules that work
Published: August 24, 2026
Safety in companionship work is not a matter of luck or intuition — it is a handful of habits you set up once and follow every time. This guide collects them in one place. Not to scare you, but to hand you the tools: you set the rules, and the client adapts to them — not the other way round.
The phone is your first filter
Before you give out an address, have a voice call. A short conversation tells you more than ten text messages: you hear whether the person is sober, whether they respect your terms, whether their questions are normal. Someone who refuses a voice call, or only writes from a hidden number, has made the decision for you.
You have the right to decline a meeting at any stage — without explaining yourself. “No, thank you” is a complete sentence. A bad feeling after the call is reason enough; you owe nobody a justification.
Ground rules for the place
Hosting at your place (incall): someone you trust should know a meeting is happening — a simple system is enough: a message before and after, plus an agreed check-in time. Keep your phone charged and within reach, and keep the way out clear — key at hand, nothing blocking the door. Valuables and documents out of the guest’s sight.
Travelling to the client (outcall): verify the place before you leave. At a hotel, ask for the room number and the booking name — reception can confirm the guest exists. Check a private address on a map: is it a flat, or an empty building on the outskirts? Arrive by your own transport or an app-booked taxi (it leaves a route trail), and don’t let the client “pick you up on the way”. Again, a trusted person knows where you are and until when.
Money: clear, and at the start
Payment happens at the beginning of the meeting — that is the standard, not a faux pas. The rate is the one from your ad; “negotiating” on the spot is not negotiation, it is a test of how much you will give up. If a client starts haggling after arriving, the meeting can simply not happen. There is more on transparent pricing in how to write an effective escort ad.
Technology and privacy
- A separate work number. A second SIM or eSIM keeps work and private life apart and lets you “switch work off” in one gesture.
- Photos without metadata. A screenshot or an export from an editor strips EXIF data (location, phone model). Mind the background too — a distinctive window or mural can give away your address.
- A watermark makes photo theft and fake profiles using your pictures much harder.
- If you want to limit your reach, escortnow’s listing settings let you disable Google indexing — only people browsing the site will see your ad.
Client red flags
End the contact or the meeting when a client: pushes for services not in your ad (“but maybe still…”), haggles despite a clear price list, is drunk or under the influence, or ignores the word “no”. The right to refuse is yours at all times — including mid-meeting, including after taking payment, which in that situation you simply return before ending the visit.
Support: you are not on your own
The simplest safeguard is a trusted person who knows your schedule. Beyond that:
- La Strada — helpline +48 22 628 99 99, if anyone is forcing you to work or taking your documents or earnings;
- compliance@escort-now.com — if someone has stolen your photos or is impersonating you on the site; we treat such reports as a priority.
