Just read a couple of the threads (some of them aren't working), What a Dirtbag. People like him want taking to a very dark alley and topping.

Just been reading This thread from an Escort forum, there are some very upset people on there, and who can blame them, what a scumbag.

Surely Paypal can help with this via the Police. Paypal have to have certain details; bank accounts, card details address etc. before you can use the system. Must be easy enough to sort it out?
