Houseboy.com: Advice to Weed out Spammers and Fakes
there are other ones? I know of only one other houseboy site and it's horrible. It's unfortunate but this one seems to be dying, at that :-(

Rule #1 Guys, Don't send ANYONE money -- Ever.
There's a big difference between buying a ticket and sending cash or western union. A scammer boy will insist upon cash, whereas if a boy fails to follow thru on a purchased ticket, the ticket is at least, usually, partially recoverable.

Sick and Tired of the Scam Crap
there's a really easy way to deal with scammer boys..... DON'T SEND MONEY.... EVER. Seriously... basic common sense, continual admonishments here and on every other hookup site online beat the drumbeat about sending money. For chrissakes, anyone who would actually send some random boy cash for some cliche hardup story at this point is a serious idiot. Not just an idiot, but a certifiable, double digit IQ, Homer Simpson archetypal, how does he manage to put pants on in the morning without impaling himself on the kitchen faucet RETARD. "A Fool and his Money is soon Parted" is from friggin AESOP (Remember Aesop's Fables from the Rocky & Bullwinkle show???) over 2000 years ago! This scam is not new, it's been around in one form or another at least as long as there's been money. Think about that for a second.... Thousands of years.... Same Story.... You're not special, and they're not criminal masterminds. JUST... STOP.... BEING... BAIT.... If you people stop falling for the scam, they will go away, like any other predator in search of prey. STOP sending money to ANYONE. STOP whining about how stupid you are. STOP pretending any cop, prosecutor, or judge is going save you from your own ignoramnity.

An "armchair lawyer" is someone who thinks a judge gives a rats ass about being technically correct. A judge will take one look at this website, then spend several seconds (but no more) admonishing you for wasting his time. If he's charitable, he'll used words like 'caveat emptor' You might get a prosecutor to take an interest, but only if it's an election year. DON'T FUCKING SEND MONEY, EVER

HOUSEBOYS BEWARE
If there are 'employers' actually attempting to steal the identity of a potential houseboy (who tend to have terrible credit), I would be very surprised... mostly at the kind of person who would waste time and treasure on something with so little reward. I find your supposition dubious. However, your point about the need to for houseboys to protect themselves and to keep an escape plan prepared is very good advice.

Is no one serious about this?!
There are 3 basic types of employers here: 1. The Pervert 2. The Lonely and distant 3rd: The Busy Man with Money and there are 3 basic types of houseboys here: 1. The Scammer 2. The Dysfunctional and distant 3rd: The Good Boy in Need These lists do not include everyone, but virtually all fit within these overly broad categories. Everyone wants number 3, but they themselves are more like a mix of number 1 and number 2. I've had half a dozen boys from this site in the past few years, all of them at least dysfunctional and unable to live on their own, several of them were thieves. For full disclosure, I'd consider myself a Busy, Lonely, Pervy Man with a fairly lucrative career.

Clean Up the Houeboy Listings
Don't you realize that virtually everyone on this site, boy or employer, has some sort of serious social or emotional deficiency? Employers are either lonely and/or perverts. Boys are either users and/or incapable of taking care of themselves. EVEN THOUGH good people exist here, everyone still has issues, so you can either accept that you WILL need to deal with an unknown skeleton in the closet no matter what, or just give up and whine to Michael like he's somehow responsible for performing your own due diligence. BE HONEST about what you're looking for. Make sure you have an exit plan. Take steps to ensure the boi OR employer cannot do too much damage. NEVER SEND MONEY! Due your own due diligence. Caveat Emptor. So get over it.
