YES, WE ARE!

PISSED OFF WITH

For reasons too tedious & petty to go into here, Galahad has decided to delete all the Babes' hard earned FRs.We used to hold PUNTERNET in high regard but unfortunately it no longer seems to be the independent and objective resource it used to be. It's easy to spot many false FRs on there and certain agencies are obviously favoured against others. We used to dismiss reports that Galahad was in the pocket of certain 'bosses' but now we have our doubts and after a quick Google we've unearthed the following. Obviously we cannot vouch for any authenticity in the quoted items but having heard similar tales from other sources we feel there might just be no smoke without fire! This is just a selection from what we found...

I caused Punternet mods more work and aggravation than anyone in recent history, I continue to register additional accounts on the message board & most seriously, I mis-used the Announcements Board to perpetuate my abuse of other people after having been banned...

I sent in a report to Punternet....something I have never done before... after seeing a wonderful girl called Debbie of Central London ... she was a real sweet heart reliable and very proffessional.... simply the most perfect girl I have met in 20 years of using the services of escorts...
She works hard I have seen her many times now and always asks if clients could give her a review as I dont think she plans to be in the business long.... many clients like myself happily obliged on only for that asshole to remove all of her reviews... the man is an asshole ... he unilaterally removes peoples genuine reviews and effects a wonderful girls hard earned reputation....
I now live in the USA but travel alot ...right now I am SE Asia...... I will be more than happy to us my high ranking law enforcement friends to bring down the INS and IRS on his disgusting ass... what do you feel I should do?

Punter.net is run by an expatriate Brit working in America who has a keen interest in prostitutes and calls himself (what else?) Galahad. The whores themselves are known as "ladies". I'm not sure about the legality of it: if anyone wanted to track them down, the women reviewed have their work telephone numbers and addresses on the board, and even details of the nearest car park. The site itself is based in northern California, at an ISP that hosts, among other things, the Oakland Freemasons Hall and a couple of family sites: while it is certainly legal there, it may be in breach of the contract about sub-letting space...

I don't even bother with punternet anymore, other than for contact details. It is too hard to tell if it is advertising, a poison pen letter from another girl, an argry punter who felt he didn't get exactly what he wanted...

I've decided not to renew my listing here Punternet. It's not what it used to be...

Punternet is full of perverts that sit on their PC every night airing their narrow minded views on the sex industry. Women also post on there but there is a real clique and they all suck up to each other. The women tout for business by posting about how horny they are and the men fall for it and say how gorgeous and wonderful the poster is despite only ever having spent time with then in a chat room and never spoken a word to them, let alone met them. The whole site is totally sycophantic and run by a man who calls himself Galahad, Galahad is actually short for God if you are a regular poster as if you upset him or one of the girls that suck up to him you will banned...

Punternet was actually the website that introduced me to the wonderful world of escorting. and at first I thought it was a great place. an amazing site. but once I started to punt more and more and learn about everything involved, I soon realised how corrupt the site was. what annoyed me more than anything was when I wrote long detailed reviews about great and terrible encounters I had had, only for them to be rejected by Galahad himself. and when I asked him why he had rejected my reviews he only once responded. and his arrogance and dismissal of my complaints disgusted me. I used to spend probably a couple of hours writing my reviews but when they suddenly started getting rejected because go Galahad had decided the agency involved had fake reviews, I was furious. what annoyed me the most was when I wrote about a girl whose service was disgraceful but her pictures were brilliant. I wanted to warn the escorting community about her but Galahad would not publish the review. I wonder how many other punters had a terrible experience with that girl because the Ego would not publish my review. once I got to know many agencies and girls though I soon discovered the reasons. and it is well known in the escorting community that Galahad receives 'backhanders' from some agencies. he gets paid by certain agencies to ruin those agencies that get too big. his biggest success was in destroying scandalbabes, and I have been told by more than one source that he received a substantial payout from a couple of agencies working together to take down all their reviews. I have also been told that he was the one that informed the police about them. That was my favourite agency and they had some great girls. but Galahad destroyed them and pocketed many pieces of silver in the process. and as we now know, the owner has just gone to jail for 12 months, thanks partly to the information provided by Galahad I now actually consider Punernet and Galahad a danger to the escorting community because he has helped ensure that many many punters have been ripped off as he does not allow far too many legitimate reviews. And also because of the backhanders he is taking from those agencies whose reviews he lets through that he knows are fake.
 

I'm fed up with trying to write this story. After all it's not for me, I have already been ripped off. I am merely trying to warn others of the scrupulous activities of a certain agency.

I successfully wrote and submitted a Puntnet review about a lady (Marta) from UK exotica who, like her agency, was/is an absolute nightmare. On seeing the review the manager, (Adam) bombarded me with e-mail have to e-mail contesting my review. I reached the stage where I had had enough of being pestered by this man, so I contacted Galahad. I still can't believe what happened next. Galahad suggested that if things were that bad I should contact the police and that I should consider terminating my review. I sent an e-mail that same evening pointing out my good reputation throughout the industry (with the ladies) but he saw fit to completely ignore me and my wishes. That were that my Puntnet review should stand because it is an honest account of events. I discovered the next day that my review (which had been live for two weeks) had been deleted. Thanks to Galahad, Adam and UK exotica are free to carry on ripping people off.

I am glad to have found this website because I obviously have a lot of things to say about punternet. I have been running 3 well known escort agencies in London for 3 years. 2 of them were banned last year. I really tried to contact Galahad for the reason. All my emails were ignored.

After 2 months and countless emails, maybe out of being fed up with hearing from me, I got a short answer. But what it contained was beyond my wildest imagination. "The G" said he could only "draw a conclusion" that I got someone to post fake reviews for my benefit. And that's it. Case closed.

I was speechless from rage. First, I didn't do it. Second, I know people that do it and their websites are there on punternet, standing tall and proud. Galahad, If you use punternet to get a lot of free service and for other shady business, and you ban those people who don't pay you extra, then you should have known better. It's now catching up with you. You had it coming, you parasite.
 

Having run the E** B** Escort Agency for over 4 years our girls have accumulated many reviews (most of them on punternet), Recently all of our girls hard earned reviews were deleted with no explanation why, Also over the last few months many of our clients were kind enough to try to post reviews of our girls on punternet (not a single review was published), i find it very frustrating to see the same old Escorts and establishments reviewed week after week on punternet because as an Escort Agency owner i can tell you that these reviews are like medals to the girls and seriously increase that particular girls earnings, i have emailed Gallahad who runs the site several times to try to find out why this has happened but have recieved no reply, i have tried to reason with Gallahad and explain to him that we have promoted punternet on our website for years and that his banner has always been in the top four banners on my links page, Elegant Belles is a very well established Agency and our website gets thousands of hits everyday so over the years we have sent punternet lots of quality traffic, i am now advising my clients to post their reviews elsewhere,

The truth is that review sites like punternet rely on us service providers in order to survive as punternet does not appear to have any search engine presence it has to rely on the websites of us service providers to place its banners on our sites in order to get traffic, i believe its called biting the hand that feeds you, Gallahad obviously thinks that punternet is invicible but i feel more and more service providers and punters are getting sick and tired of these antics, The bottom line is that genuine punters who have taken the time to write and post a review should have their reviews published.

Punternet is a joke. They send email to warn some websites about their fake reviews. On the other hand some websites will be banned without any notice. What make them different? Punternet is a real doggy organisation. Come out and swear if this is not true, Galahad?

I used to be punternet big fan and read a lot everytime I come to UK. However I stopped when I found out my genuine reviews were removed for some reason. I had all the reason to be angry because I spent time writing all these reviews. English is not my native language and to write those kind of reviews are time-comsuming for me. To find out everything's gone without a proper reason. Why should I read them again. How can I trust all those reviews on the site after my genuine reviews were deleted.

Also my favourite agency were banned from their site. For me that agency is one of the best in London.

Punternet is dead. killed by its mods. they are the worst shower of shit. I am so surprised galahad has let this happen, he needs to grasp the nettle. He invented the punting board concept, now it is getting destroyed from within. I am banned, no explanation, no nothing an absolute bunch of power crazy wankers. No wonder they get fuck all posts. punternet....RIP.
 

Does anyone else think PunterNet has become a farce as a review website?

Blatant fake reports being published on the site day after day, while genuine reviews never see the light of the day?

So many genuine and reputable Escorts have had all their FRs removed while other girls and parlours post endless fake reports on themselves and they are allowed to remain up. Why? Because they don't pay PunterNet £12 a month to advertise. Just a couple of the numerous local examples - both Demi of Haywards Heath and Kitty of Worthing had loads of genuine Field Reports on PN. But they were all deleted for no reason.

 

The way he (Galahad) runs that site makes me believe he is a prick. 'M' had all her reviews removed when she fell out with her pimp. She changed her name when she worked with 'P', and then had all the new ones removed again when her ex pimp told G. I was asked if I could get the reviews back. I told her there was no chance. She did think about a new site and new name, but feels the vendetta isn't over yet. Bastard.
 

I gave up posting FRs on PN about 4 years ago when my 40 odd were all deleted in a cull on the ground they were considered to be fake. Considering I had posted FRs on over 30 different girls it was ridiculous so I stopped submitting them after that.

I know quite a lot of genuine FRs have been deleted while quite a lot of fakes are allowed to stay up.

I think one of the main reasons so few men bother reporting on PN now is because the FR system is crooked.

5 or 10 years ago, PN was the bible for reviews. Today it's a bit of a joke and I read some of them only for entertainment value and take them all with a very large pinch of salt.

About a year ago, I tried to post my first ever PN report on a parlour lady. Although other girls at the parlour had plenty of reports, the girl I visited had none.

My report was rejected / not published, which I guess is in line with the 'standard caveat' from Galahad. However, I was then quite pissed off that a number of reports appeared within days from new reporters on "Inde" EE girls in London. Recall that there were about 4 or 5 for one girl in around a week...all of which were the first and only reports from those punters.

Call me a cynic, but I couldn't help wonder just what 'other forces' were in play here....
