HOUSEBOYS BEWARE

[ca2011]

This is just a general message to all houseboys. NEVER send your personal information to an employer no matter how irresistable the position seems. Alot of employers on here seem to work together and just want to obtain photos to post on their porn sites of young guys. I have only had my profile on the site for a short time and have already been contacted by people on the site who just want you to send them nude photos and other personal information for identity fraud!! Please pay attention to other houseboys when they write forum posts about the bad employers on this site. There are some good employers but it doesnt seem as though there are alot sadly. Also be careful of the people who promise you alot and then want you to pay to come and be their houseboy. This is also another red flag to be aware of. Do NOT ever put yourself in a position where you travel to someone and run the risk of being stranded in the middle of no where. If you are in desperate need to find a houseboy position just because of your current situation just make sure you always let someone know where you are going and also make sure you have a way to leave if something bad were to happen. Some of us are genuine housebsoys who actually do work and arent lazy and are honest about what we are seeking. Just take your time when chatting with an employer and look for red flags when you communicate with them that may indicate that they might be a potential scammer. I recently was scammed by two users on the site (two profiles that are the same guy). They promised me a sign on bonus and much more and the position seemed like a perfect fit for me. They told me that before they paid for my travel to them that they needed my phone number/ full name/birthdate/ and drivers license number to obtain a background check. After providing them with the information they requested I never heard fromthem again. Just please be careful and be safe :-) and always communicate and ask questions with other houseboys if an employer seems suspicous.

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.

actually I am someone who has good credit..I have never used a credit card etc...its not true that most houseboys are in bad condition in terms of there credit which is what some employers who are identity theives know. Most younger houseboys under the age of about 25 usually wont have had credit cards or issues with credit other than having (no credit history). This is something identity thieves look for.

and yes the info he posted about taking care of yourself and having an exit plan is a good one!!
