I reserved two dancers in Austin Texas. From a company that turned out to be using the following company names:
Vipstripshows.com
DFWdreamgirls.com
allstarevententertainers.com
And the following phone numbers:
817-881-6599
469-335-7811
1-888-844-7660
1-888-471-6727
The ad placed on Backpage.com in Austin Texas didn't state the company name, OR phone number and this should have been my first warning. But as I was unexperienced in booking this sort of entertainment I proceeded to contact this company via the ad.
I was told over the phone that they were a LOCAL company, and it also stated this in the ad. However, they are NOT and are based out of (I think) Dallas Texas.
I was also GUARANTEED that the dancers would be the girls in the photos that the agency sent me. I was also told that the dancers would text or snapchat photos to me.
Other promises were:
1. The girls would show up within a half hour of the appointment time
2. The girls would perform a girl on girl show WITH toys.
3. The girls would stay at LEAST one hour. But would most likely stay two hours.
4.We could tip the dancers as we saw fit and according to their performance in order to guarantee us a "good" show and more time with the girls.
5.The girls would allow some touching, and would give lap dances for the price we were to pay at the door ($300) and we were to TIP them as they dances about $4-5 or however we saw fit. More money for a more wild dance.
6. The $300 was supposed to include a FULLY nude strip show.
7. If there were any problems we could call this "agency" immediately to resolve any issues.
Basically, NONE of these promises were kept.
They were over one hour late.
The girls had basically faked the snapchat/text photos. We got completely different girls who were NOT attractive at all. Tattoos. Rough faces. Not very firm or in shape. Terrible.
I immediately tried to call the agency. NO answer.
I tried to call another agency I had contacted before but not made a reservation with to attempt to make a last minute reservation but was told their dancers could not get there last minute.
Not wanting the bachelor to have NOTHING, I went ahead and paid.
The girls changed into their outfits, and came out and did ONE dance for the bachelor. ONE.
Then told us that if we wanted a nude show, we needed to pay them EACH $100.
I told them that was supposed to be included. The girls BOTH said that they always charged an extra $100 and that the agent had TOLD them they could do so.
I asked about the girl on girl show, which we were told was $200 extra. The girls then told me that they did NOT do girl on girl shows. AT ALL.
I asked them what was included in their NUDE show they offered for $200. And was told that the $200 would include them NUDE, but nude dances would still be $20 a song after we paid the $200.
I asked about the whipped cream games, interactive games, and everything else the agent had told me about. Guess what? NOT an option they said. They were there to do lap dances only.
Touching was a NO go. For both girls. Heck, they didn't look all that hot, so no one would probably want to do much of that anyways, but still, we were told the show would include more and be better than the strip club.
We were also told that if we did not upgrade to a nude show, that the show would be downgraded by these dancers, and they would have to leave in a half hour.
So the hour we had paid for, $300 nude show, games, dances, etc. Was not going to happen.
NONE of the guys wanted to pitch in more money towards these girls as it was obvious we had just been scammed.
They also said that if we continued to ask for a refund they would call the cops and tell them we were trying to kidnap them and not let them leave.
NO one at this point had threatened them. I guess they are just used to people being mad and angry at them and NO wonder.
They are completely dishonest, and scam and rip off men every chance they get!
I tried calling the number I had been given by this "agency" NO answer. NO returned call. NO refund.
I felt so stupid for answering an ad with NO company website, name, contact information, etc.
After doing some research, I found out that they use some company names in other cities, and change the phone numbers they use often.
I guess they do this to hide from past customers they have ripped off.
They have bad reviews all over the internet on many websites and forums.
This is a terrible company with zero customer service.
I was the best man, and this agency made me look like crap.
Beware. I hope this helps other guys avoid the same mistake.
