FAQ
General
What is EscortFox?
EscortFox is an online directory for browsing and discovering ads. Users are responsible for checking that any interaction complies with local laws.
Who can use EscortFox?
EscortFox is for adults aged 18 and over. By using the site, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
Does EscortFox provide or arrange escort services?
No. EscortFox only provides the directory. Ads are posted by advertisers, who are responsible for their own services and information.
Do I need an account? What are the advantages of registering?
You can browse without an account. With a free account you can send messages to advertisers, save favorites, write reviews, post a client request and get notifications.
How much does it cost to create an account?
Nothing. Creating an account is free.
Is my information shared with third parties?
We don't sell your information or share it for marketing. Service providers that run the site for us, such as the hosting company, only process data to keep the site working. Cryptocurrency payments are recorded on the public blockchain, as with any crypto payment. See the Privacy Policy.
Does EscortFox accept fake ads?
No. Every ad is checked by hand before it goes live. Fake or misleading ads are removed, and the account behind them may be closed. If you see one, use "Report this ad" at the bottom of the ad.
Is there anything you're missing on the site?
Tell us! Use the contact form or email askthefox@protonmail.com. We read every suggestion.
For advertisers
How do I create an ad?
Create an advertiser account, then choose "Post an ad" and follow the steps. Give accurate information and only upload photos and videos you have the right to use.
How many photos and videos can I add?
An ad needs a main photo and at least 2 more (3 in total), and can have up to 8. You can also add up to 3 videos of up to 2 minutes each; they are compressed automatically. Each blog post can have one video.
Will my ad be published the same day?
Every new ad is checked by hand before it goes live, usually within a few hours during the day. You can follow the status under My ads, and you'll get a message if something needs changing.
Can I change my ad after it's published?
Yes, everything except the ad name. Open My ads and choose Edit. After a change, the ad is checked again before it is back online.
Can I change my travel itinerary?
Yes. Edit your ad and update "Travel plans": add, change or remove trips at any time. As with other changes, the ad is checked again before it is back online. Trips that have ended disappear automatically.
Why was my ad removed or not published?
Ads may be rejected or removed if they appear to break the Terms of Service or the law. You'll find the reason in your mailbox. Contact us if you think there has been a mistake.
How does verification work?
There are three levels. Unverified: no checks yet. Cross-checked: you sent us links to your ads on other sites, and we checked that the phone number matches. Verified: we verified you in person. The badge on your ads shows your level.
How quickly is verification checked?
We aim to check every request within an hour. If a check takes longer than one hour between 08:00 and 20:00 (Amsterdam time), you get one day of prioritized ad for free.
How much does an ad cost?
Posting ads is currently free. If a small fee is introduced later, it will be announced in advance on the News page. Prioritized ads are paid; see the Prices page.
How do prioritized ads work?
Prioritized ads are shown at the top of the home page and in the "Prioritized ads" column on most pages, in a random order so that each one gets equal attention. You book a number of days. The price per day drops for longer bookings: €5 a day, €4.30 from 7 days, €3.90 from 14, €3.50 from 30, €3.15 from 90 and €2.85 from 180. See the Prices page.
For clients
How do messages work?
Log in and use "Send a message" on an ad. Replies arrive in your mailbox. Don't share sensitive personal or financial information unless you're comfortable doing so.
How do I know when I have a new message or notification?
When you're logged in, the bell icon at the top shows a count of unread messages and lists the latest ones. The envelope icon opens your mailbox.
What are client requests?
You can post a short request describing what you're looking for. Advertisers who are interested reply with a direct message.
Can I be sure the person I meet is the one in the ad?
The badges show what we have checked: Cross-checked means the phone number matches ads on other sites, and Verified means we verified the advertiser in person. We can't control who you actually meet, so use common sense and meet safely. Reviews from other clients can help too.
Payments
How do I pay?
Prioritized ads are paid in cryptocurrency: Bitcoin, Ether, USDC (on Ethereum), PulseChain (PLS) or Monero. After ordering, you see the exact amount and address, with a QR code. We confirm the order once the payment has arrived.
What is cryptocurrency, and how can I pay with it?
Cryptocurrency is digital money sent directly from one wallet to another, without a bank. If you don't have any, you can buy it in an app such as Revolut (the Crypto tab) or on an exchange, then send the exact amount to the address shown on your order. Always send on the network named on the order page: a payment sent on another network can be lost.
Account, safety and support
How do I report an ad or account?
Every ad has a "Report this ad" box at the bottom; describe the problem there. If an ad seems to be the same person as another profile, use "Same person as another profile?" on the ad. Messages can be reported from your mailbox. For anything else, contact us.
Can EscortFox suspend or close my account?
Yes. We can suspend or close accounts that break the Terms of Service or the law, for example fake ads, spam, scams or photos shared without consent. If we suspect an account has been hacked, we may freeze it temporarily to protect its owner.
How do I delete my account? Is my data deleted too?
Go to your account and choose "Delete account". Your account, messages and sessions are deleted right away, and your ads go offline. For transparency, ads, their photos and reviews are kept hidden for 12 months (in case of a new account) and then permanently erased.
How can I contact support?
Use the contact form (you need to be logged in) or email askthefox@protonmail.com. Include the email address of your account. We will never ask for your password, so never send it.
