Escort-Girls: WhatsApp just blocked your number?

 

Recently, many Escort-Girls phone numbers in Switzerland have been blocked by WhatsApp, without notice or explanation. As a general rule, WhatsApp reserves itself the right to block any number that violates the platform's terms of use. But on one hand, you have some girls who have been using the same number for years and have never experienced a problem with WhatsApp. On the other hand, others who recently acquired a Swiss number have been banned from the platform several times without necessarily understanding why. In this article, we briefly explore some reasons that could explain why your WhatsApp account has been blocked.

 

1- You are using a modified version of WhatsApp

These versions are in large number and when you download the application, it is not easy to know which WhatsApp to trust. Although many of these apps offer great features, WhatsApp considers them unsavory and may block you if you decide to use them. So, maybe it would be better to stick to the original version of WhatsApp so that your (work) escort number is not deleted and you do not lose your contacts because of it.  You know how valuable contacts are, especially when it took you months or years to build this loyal clientele. You want to be able to keep the same number in order to remain available and easily reachable for your regular customers.

 

2- Your number has been reported by several people

In case you didn't know, I'm telling you that anyone using WhatsApp can block or report someone they consider suspicious. And if multiple reports of your number come to WhatsApp, the company automatically blocks your number. Therefore, always remain courteous with potential customers who contact you via WhatsApp. Even if they are rude, don't play their game, don't insult them in return so as not to trigger anger in them. They might report your number to WhatsApp. Therefore, simply ignore their messages or block them at the very beginning of your exchanges.

 

3- You send dangerous files

Be careful what you send or what images and videos you upload. Many may contain viruses and will then be blocked by WhatsApp. For example, don't send obscene photos of yourself to potential clients you don't know or forward inappropriate images because WhatsApp is tough on this.

 

4- You send multiple messages

Sending identical messages to different people can be detected by WhatsApp and banned. For example, avoid sending reminder messages (often identical) to all your customers indicating your return (if they really want to see you again, they will know where and how to find you, believe me). And if you want to share the same message with several people, it is better to personalize these messages and send them individually, one after the other.

 

5- Your behavior is suspicious

What WhatsApp really means by “suspicious” behavior is vague. Some cases are clear, justified and indisputable but others are completely open to interpretation. Does WhatsApp consider sex work a suspicious behavior? Hard to say. Either way, to avoid WhatsApp blocking your escort number, don't be explicit in your written communications with clients. For example, if a customer wants to know your list of services, you either refer them to your advertising or you offer to talk to them about it on the phone. Avoid at all costs communicating these kinds of details in writing via WhatsApp.

 

6- Your account has been hacked

By stealing the password associated with your phone number, hackers can access your WhatsApp account. If the platform detects suspicious activity, the account will be blocked. This is why avoid giving your WhatsApp number to a colleague/friend of yours. Some girls who “travel” to Switzerland on tour may pass their numbers around to avoid having to get a new number each time. The ideal is to have your unique number and not share it with anyone.

 

7- You are using another person's WhatsApp account

Some girls will do anything to remain anonymous about their Escort work in Switzerland. To do this, they are ready to impersonate another person to use WhatsApp and communicate with their customers. This offense is of course punished by the platform which blocks any false account as soon as it becomes aware of it.

 

So, what can you do to prevent this from happening to you?

A WhatsApp account can be suspended temporarily (between 24 hours and 48 hours) or permanently (permanently suspended). The cases of blocked Escort accounts that we have noted in Switzerland in past weeks were all cases of permanent suspensions without notice.

Before your Escort account is blocked on WhatsApp, here are some steps you can take (the list is not exhaustive, of course):

* Strengthen the security of your WhatsApp account by enabling two-step verification (this adds an additional PIN when you log in to WhatsApp and makes hacking more difficult)

* Change your password regularly to reduce hacking

* Don't forget to update the application frequently to ensure that it benefits from the latest security updates

* Uses the official version of WhatsApp because it is the only one recognized by the platform

 

What other advice?

Please note that even if new means of communication are very popular, more and more customers appreciate the anonymity of an SMS (because it does not require the use of a smartphone) or an email (via suppliers discreet addresses such as proton for instance) and distance themselves from WhatsApp, except when it comes to interacting with their friends or family. So, don't think for a second that without WhatsApp, no one will contact you. This is not true. If a customer really wants to see you, they will contact you using the means you provide.

And if you value instant messaging more than anything, then perhaps you should consider Telegram (a more anonymous, more flexible and more liberal application) as an alternative to WhatsApp...
